“…Other genes associated with the angiogenic process were observed to contribute to tumor dormancy, including tropomyosin, transforming growth factor beta 2 (TGF-b2), Eph receptor A5 (EphA5), histone H2BK, proline 4-hydroxylase alpha polypeptide I, and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 (IGFBP-5) [ 123 ]. Several studies not including UM investigated the role of MSGs in preventing the formation of metastases and favoring dormancy [ 124 , 125 , 141 , 148 , 149 , 150 , 151 , 152 , 153 , 154 , 155 , 156 , 157 , 158 , 159 ]. Specifically, the MSGs KISS1, RhoG-DI2, and Nm23-H1 showed to be able to suppress the development of distant metastases without significantly affecting tumor growth at the primary site [ 124 , 125 ].…”
