Core Tip	In addition to its physiological expression in osteogenic cells, RUNX2 ectopic expression is also re­ported in several cancers. Melanoma cells, which arise from the neural crest, are not typical epithelial cells and exhibit “stemness” features. For this reason the epithelial mesenchymal transition process may be enhanced in melanoma cells. RUNX2 expression in such context in­creases the migration and invasiveness of melanoma cells; it can therefore be considered a new oncotarget in melanoma.
