MIRAT is expressed in the cytoplasm of melanoma cells resistant to MAPK inhibitors. (a) Bioinformatic pipeline of RNAseq data: the comparison of resistant clones with their parental counterparts applying acute and chronic treatment filters led to the identification of one coding gene (SPOCK1) and one lncRNA (MIRAT) differently upregulated in resistant clones. Expression of MIRAT in melanoma cell lines and tissue samples was determined by PCR and RT-qPCR analyses. (b) Bar graph showing FPKM values of MIRAT in parental and corresponding resistant cell lines. (c) Bar graph displaying MIRAT expression relative to GAPDH determined by RT-qPCR analyses and real time SYBR Green amplification. (d) PCR and RT-qPCR analyses of MIRAT were performed in subcellular cytosolic RNA extracts of D04 and D04RM cells. The expression of MIRAT is displayed as relative values to GAPDH. (e) Bar graph representing MIRAT expression relative to GAPDH in 19 melanoma patients.
