Extracellular proteolytic enzymes are crucial in tumor development. This review specifically examines the role of proteases in cutaneous melanoma progression using various study models.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Biochemistry
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Extracellular proteolytic enzymes are implicated in numerous tumor-related processes.
  • Cutaneous melanoma progression involves complex molecular mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the involvement of proteases in cutaneous melanoma.
  • To consolidate current knowledge on protease functions in melanoma development.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of in vitro studies.
  • Analysis of animal model studies.
  • Examination of investigations using patient material (human melanoma cell lines and lesions).

Main Results:

  • Proteases significantly impact melanoma progression.
