Affymetrix copy number data for melanoma cell line mapping

ABSTRACT: We searched for putative phenotypic and genotypic differences between primary lesions and melanoma metastasis. Therefore, we investigated melanoma cells derived either from the primary tumor or from lymph node metastasis of the same individual patient. In vitro studies revealed high migratory and anchorage-independent growth of metastasis-derived cells. Unexpectedly, whole genome DNA analysis displayed a total of 10 homozygous losses in the primum-derived cell line, whereas the metastasis–derived cell line only shared 5 of those losses. We further tested these cells in a mouse model for intradermal melanoma growth and detected fast growth of the metastasis-derived cell line and delayed growth of primum-derived cells. However, after re-grafting of primum-derived cells, tumor growth kinetic
