Regulation of MITF-M-dependent genes involved in apoptosis

MITF contributes to cellular survival through regulation of anti-apoptotic factors such as BCL2 and BIRC7 (McGill et al, 2002; Dynek et al, 2008; Strub et al, 2011; reviewed in Cheli et al, 2010). Consistent with this, MITF is required for survival of melanoblasts during embryogenesis (Hodgkinson et al, 1993; Opdecamp et al, 1997; Nakayama et al, 1998). MITF may also contribute to survival through regulation of DICER, which in turn regulates expression of a number of genes by virtue of its processing of microRNAs (Levy et al, 2010).
