Total RNA was prepared from cell line WM2032. WM2032 is a metastatic human melanoma cell line that was established from a lymph node metastatic site of a patient. This cell line contains a Q61R mutation at position 61 in the N-RAS gene. The Q61R is the most common NRAS mutation found in melanoma that is thought to occur due to UV and radiation exposure. This mutation leads to production of a constitutively active N-RAS protein that directs cells to grow and divide constantly. WM2032 cells match WM3000. These cells produce xenograft tumors when injected into immunocompromised mice.
