Project description:Among the myriad tumors analyzed to date, cutaneous malignant melanomas bear some of the highest mutational burdens. Thus, it is somewhat surprising that oncogene exclusion between is so pronounced in melanomas where there is only a single melanoma out of 366 sequenced specimens which harbors concurrent BRAF(V600E/M) and NRAS(G13R) mutations (TCGA-ES-A2NC Sample; WWW.bioportal.org), In this senario some NRAS and BRAF mutations co-expressing cells show slow growth phenotypes by under study mechanism. We used Affymetrix GeneChip Expression Arrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying oncogenic exclusion and identified distinct classes of up and down-regulated genes during this process.

Project description:Approximately 50% of melanomas harbor an activating BRAFV600E mutation. Standard of care involves a combination of inhibitors targeting mutant BRAF and MEK1/2, the substrate for BRAF in the MAPK pathway. PTEN loss of function mutations occur in 40% of BRAFV600E melanomas, resulting in increased PI3K/AKT activity that enhances resistance to BRAF/MEK combination inhibitor therapy. To compare the response of PTEN null to PTEN wild type cells in an isogenic background, CRISPR was used to knock out PTEN in the A375 melanoma cell line that harbors a BRAFV600E mutation. RNA sequencing and functional kinome analysis revealed the loss of PTEN led to an induction of FOXD3 and an increase in expression of the FOXD3 target gene, ERBB3/HER3. Inhibition of BRAFand MEK1/2 in PTEN null, BRAFV600E cells dramatically induced expression of ERBB3/HER3 relative to wild type cells. A synergy screen of epigenetic modifiers and kinase inhibitors in combination with inhibitors for mutant BRAF/MEK1/2 identified the pan ERBB/HER inhibitor, neratinib, as reversing the resistance observed in PTEN null, BRAFV600E cells. The findings indicate PTEN null BRAFV600E melanoma becomes dependent on ERBB/HER signaling when treated with clinically approved BRAF and MEK inhibitors. Future studies are warranted to test neratinib reversal of resistance in patient melanomas expressing ERBB3/HER3 in combination with its dimerization partner ERBB2/HER2.

Project description:We found that pigmented and amelanotic (MPNST-like) melanomas arise in the genetically engineered BRAF(V600E)-Cdk4(R24C) mouse melanoma model and even in the same animal. To explore the molecular differences between the two type of melanomas in this model we performed global gene expression profiling and pathway analysis to compare the underlying mechanisms. This information was used to identify human melanomas that resemble each type of the mouse melanomas found in the in the genetically engineered BRAF(V600E)-Cdk4(R24C) mouse melanoma model.

PTEN loss of function mutations occur in 40% of BRAFV600E melanomas, resulting in increased PI3K/AKT activity that enhances resistance to BRAF/MEK combination inhibitor therapy. To compare the response of PTEN null to PTEN wild type cells in an isogenic background, CRISPR was used to knock out PTEN in the A375 melanoma cell line that harbors a BRAFV600E mutation. Kinome profiling was performed using the parental line and two PTEN KO clones (5 and 11), treated with DMSO, or treated with 100nM dabrafenib and 10nM trametinib for 1 day or for 7 days. PTEN KO cells showed dramatically increased binding of HER3 and AKT3 compared to wild type. The activation of the SOX10-FOXD3-HER3-AKT axis in PTEN KO cells could be targeted with the ERBB/HER inhibitor neratinib.

Project description:Investigation of expression differences between melanomas harvested from MiniCoopR-GFP versus MiniCoopR-SETDB1 transgenic zebrafish. An eight-chip study using total RNA prepared from four distinct melanomas from zebrafish injected with MiniCoopR-GFP (control) transposon and four distinct melanomas from zebrafish injected with MiniCoopR-SETDB1 transposon. Injected animals carried a p53 loss-of-function mutation, a mutation in nacre, and an mitf:BRAF-V600E transgene. Each chip measures the expression level of 32,292 genes.

Project description:<p>Desmoplastic melanoma is an infrequent variant of melanoma with sarcomatous histology, distinct clinical behavior, and unknown pathogenesis. We performed low-coverage genome and high-coverage exome sequencing of 20 desmoplastic melanomas, followed by targeted sequencing of 293 genes to validate candidate genes. A high mutation burden (median 62 mutations/Mb) ranked desmoplastic melanoma among the most highly mutated cancers. Mutation patterns strongly implicate UV-radiation as the dominant mutagen, indicating a superficially located cell of origin. Novel alterations included recurrent promoter mutations of NF-kappa B inhibitor epsilon, NFKBIE (IkBε) in 14.5% of samples. Commonly mutated oncogenes in melanomas, in particular BRAF(V600E) and NRAS(Q61K/R), were absent. Instead, other genetic alterations known to activate the MAPK and PI3K signaling cascades were identified in 73% of samples, affecting NF1, CBL, ERBB2, MAP2K1, MAP3K1, BRAF, EGFR, PTPN11, MET, RAC1, SOS2, NRAS, and PIK3CA, some of which being candidates for targeted therapies.</p> <p><i>Reprinted from:</i><br/> Shain, A.
