Genes whose expression in A-I KO relative to A-I Tg+/– were determined to be concordant with a subset of genes previously identified in a human study [8] to track with poor outcome in melanoma (Table 3), were mapped to top functions in Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) and are shown in Table 4. Arrows indicate the direction of expression of these genes in day 7 B16F10L tumors from A-I KO relative to A-I Tg+/– animals.
