Project description:63 melanoma cell lines hybridized to Affymetrix Hu133_Plus 2 oligo arrays. The aim of this study was to identify potential downstream targets of key oncogenes and TSGs in melanoma (including p14ARF, p16INK4A, BRAF etc). Publications relevant to this series include:; Johansson et al. Pigment Cell Res 2007. Experiment Overall Design: 63 melanoma cell lines hybridized to Affymetrix Hu133_Plus 2 oligo arrays. These cell lines were sequenced for key tumour suppressor genes (TSGs) and oncogenes known to be involved in melanoma development. The microarray data was then analysed together with a particular genotype status (see relevant publications) to identify genes that potentially act downstream of these oncogenes and TSGs to contribute to melanoma development. See publications for analysis methods.

Project description:35 Melanoma cell lines hybridized to Affymetrix Hu133_Plus 2 microarrays were analysed for genes differentially expressed between cell lines carrying wild-type p14ARF and those with mutant 14ARF. All of these cell lines contained wild-type p53 (so that the effects of p14ARF mutations could be analysed without contamination from p53). Experiment Overall Design: The aim of this study was to identify downstream effectors of p14ARF in melanoma. Relevant paper: Packer et al. (2007) Int J Cancer.

Project description:Immunotherapy has achieved tremendous success in melanoma. However, only around 50 % of advanced melanoma patients benefit from immunotherapy with immunogenicity of melanomas playing a key role. CDKN2A encoding the two tumor-suppressor proteins p14ARF and p16INK4a belongs to the most frequently inactivated gene loci in advanced melanoma where decreased T cell infiltration is accompanied. While the role of p16INK4a has been aberrantly investigated, knowledge about the function of p14ARF in melanoma therapy is scarce. In this study, we elucidate the impact of reduced p14ARF expression on melanoma immunogenicity. Knockdown of p14ARF in melanoma cell lines diminished the recognition and killing by melanoma differentiation antigen (MDA)-specific T cells. Resistance was caused by a reduction of the peptide surface density of presented MDAs. While antigen presentation via HLA-I molecules was enhanced upon p14ARF downregulation in general, absolute and relative expression of cognate peptides was decreased. Limiting WNT5A signaling reverted this phenotype suggesting an involvement of non-canonical Wnt signaling. Taken together, our data indicate a new mechanism limiting MDA-specific T cell responses by decreasing both absolute and relative MDA-peptide presentation in melanoma.

Project description:The present study deals with functional interactions of cutaneous and brain-metastasizing human melanoma cells with brain-derived molecules. In this study we employed the unique melanoma xenograft model developed by Izraely and described in Int J Cancer. 2011 Oct 25. doi: 10.1002/ijc.27324. The present study aims to determine if brain-derived soluble factors regulate malignancy-associated functions of cutaneous and brain-metastasizing melanoma cells and identify which functions are regulated by such factors. The working hypothesis of this study is that the interactions between the brain microenvironment and melanoma cells determine metastasis formation at this organ site. The aim of the study was to evaluate the contribution of such interactions to the formation of brain metastasis in nude mice xenografted with human melanoma cells. An insight into these interactions is an essential pre-requisite for the development of effective targeted therapy for melanoma brain metastasis. We assessed the effects of soluble factors present in supernatants of short-term cultures of normal mouse brain (referred here after as brain-derived soluble factors) on several characteristics linked to melanoma brain metastasis. It was found that brain-derived soluble factors affect differentially cutaneous and brain-metastasizing melanoma cells variants in-vitro. Such factors enhanced the viability of cutaneous melanoma cells but caused an S phase arrest followed by apoptosis of brain-metastasizing cells. Brain-derived soluble factors enhanced migration of melanoma cells metastasizing to the brain, but did not affect the migration of the cutaneous variants. Such factors up-regulated the expression of the chemokine receptor CCR4 in both cutaneous and brain metastasizing melanoma cells. It is not unlikely that CCR4 ligands expressed in the brain interact with the CCR4-expressing melanoma cells thereby directing them to the brain. Brain-derived soluble factors enhanced the transmigration, across human brain endothelial cells of cutaneous but not of brain metastasizing melanoma variants. This activity could promote the capacity of the cutaneous cells to metastasize to the brain. 4 Samples (arrays) were analyzed. There is 1 replicate for each variant and each treatment. We generated pairwise comparisons between cutaneous and brain metastatic variants of the same genetic background, using Partek Genomics Suite, in the three melanoma models. Genes with p≤5% and a fold-change difference of ≥2 or <-2 were selected.

Project description:Melanoma is one of the most aggressive and treatment-resistant cancers. It represents the most life-threatening neoplasm of the skin, and its incidence has been increasing for the last three decades. Melanoma evolves from the local transformation of melanocytes to primary tumors, which can metastasize to multiple organs. Brain metastases represent one of the most significant causes of death in cutaneous melanoma patients. Despite aggressive multi-modality threapy, patients with melanoma brain metastasis have a median survival of less than a year, with a majority of these patients dying as a result of their intracranial disease. To identify alterations in gene expression related to brain metastasis, we used Affymetrix expression arrays to assess differentially expressed genes in melanocytes, lymph node metastases, and brain metastases. Total RNA from twenty-two specimens representing normal melanocytes (n=3), melanoma lymph node metastasis (n=12), and melanoma brain metastasis (n=7) was extracted and analyzed by Affymetrix expression arrays. Melanocytes specimens were used as control samples. Melanocytes were acquired from Invitrogen (LifeTechnologies). Metastatic melanoma specimens were taken from different patients, established as cell lines in the John Wayne Cancer Institute. Early passages (less than 6) were used to perform expression analysis.

Project description:Clinical approaches to treat advanced melanoma include immune therapies, whose benefits depend on tumor-reactive T-cells to infiltrate metastases. However, most tumors lack significant immune infiltration prior to therapy, and some immune therapies are hindered by a persistent lack of immune cell infiltration. CXCL10 has been implicated as a critical chemokine supporting T-cell migration into tumors; thus agents that induce CXCL10 in tumors may improve patient responses to systemic immune therapy. We find that melanoma cells treated with TLR2/6 agonists (MALP-2 or FSL-1) and interferon-gamma (IFNgamma) upregulate CXCL10 production, when compared to IFNgamma treatment alone or no treatment. Gene profiling of melanoma cells lines treated with TLR2/6 agonists and IFNgamma demonstrate that a selective profile of genes are induced which may be favorable for promoting immune cell infiltration of tumors. TLR2 and TLR6 are widely expressed on human melanoma cells, and treatment of melanoma cells with TLR2/6 agonists and IFNgamma does not hinder melanoma cell apoptosis or promote proliferation. Furthermore, melanoma cells from surgically resected patient tumors upregulate CXCL10 production after treatment with TLR2/6 agonists and IFNgamma when compared to treatment with either agent alone. Collectively, these data identify TLR2/6 agonists and IFNgamma as a novel target for promoting CXCL10 production directly from melanoma cells. Samples from four human melanoma cell lines, VMM1 (n=6), DM13 (n=6), DM93 (n=6) and VMM39 (n=6), were treated with media alone, MALP-2 (TLR2/6 agonist), FSL-1 (TLR2/6 agonist), IFNgamma alone, MALP-2 and IFNgamma, or FSL-1 and IFNgamma.

Project description:Oncogenic mutations in BRAF and NRAS occur in 70% of melanomas. Here we identify a microRNA, miR-146a, that is highly upregulated by oncogenic BRAF and NRAS. Expression of miR-146a increases the ability of human melanoma cells to proliferate in culture and form tumors in mice, whereas knockdown of miR-146a has the opposite effects. We show these oncogenic activities are due to miR-146a targeting the NUMB mRNA, a repressor of Notch signaling. Previous studies have shown that pre-miR-146a contains a single nucleotide polymorphism (C>G rs2910164). We find that the ability of pre-miR-146a/G to activate Notch signaling and promote oncogenesis is substantially higher than that of pre-miR-146a/C. Analysis of melanoma cell lines and matched patient samples indicates that during melanoma progression pre-miR-146a/G is enriched relative to pre-miR-146a/C, resulting from a C-to-G somatic mutation in pre-miR-146a/C. Collectively, our results reveal a central role for miR-146a in the initiation and progression of melanoma. SKMEL28 melanoma cell line stably expressing either an empty vector or pre-miR146a with either C or G SNP (SKMEL28-FG12, SKMEL28-miR-146a/C and SKMEL28-miR-146a/G) were used to prepare total RNA. Microarray analysis was performed by using biological replicates for each stable cell lines for a total of 6 samples.
