MicroRNA-221 (miR-221) is known to be abnormally expressed in malignant melanoma (MM) cells, and it favors the induction of the malignant phenotype through down-modulation of p27Kip1/CDKN1B and the c-KIT receptor. This suggests that the serum level of miR-221 might increase in patients with MM and thus could be used as a new tumor marker.
