Malignant melanoma, a cancer developed from pigmented melanocytes, metastasizes
through an EMT-like process. Ten-eleven translocation (TET) enzymes, catalyzing the
conversion of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxylmethylcytosine (5-hmC), are down
regulated in melanoma. However, their roles in the progression and the EMT-like process of
melanoma are not fully understood. Here we report that DNA methylation induced silencing …
