5">We investigated the transcriptional response of melanoma differentiation process induced by ISL and RA.
We detected 390 DEGs involves in 201 pathways in ISL treatment and 304 DEGs in 193 pathways in RA treatment, respectively.
5">Glutathione metabolism, glycolysis / Gluconeogenesis and pentose phosphate pathway were the top three relative pathway perturbed by ISL.
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway was the most important pathway in RA treatment.
5">We discovered 72 DEGs which probably relatedto melanoma differentiation.
