Project description:Notch1 Activation Confers Transforming Properties to Primary Human Melanocytes and Promotes Human Melanoma Progression We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. Human neonatal melanocytes and Notch transformed human neonatal melanocytes were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Illumina gene expression array chip. Expression intensities were calculated and normalized for each gene probed on the array for all hybridizations using illumina Beadstudio#3 software. Microarray analyses were subsequently performed in GeneSpring to aid in the identification of genes differentially-expressed between Notch-infected and control melanocytes that may be responsible for the phenotypic changes described in the NIC-infected cells.

Project description:We report single cell transcriptomes from human skin samples that have been enriched for melanocytes using FACS. This work revealed anatomical site-specific melanocyte expression programs. In addition, by surveying melanocytes at different stages of development, we identified development-associated expression programs that are reflected in the dedifferentiation of melanomas.

Project description:To determine role of Notch signaling in AML leukemia initiating cells we used a conditional mouse knock-in model of Notch1-IC to induce Notch1-IC expression in MLL-AF9 transformed LGMP. WT and Notch1-IC+ LGMP were analyzed to determined genes controlled by Notch signaling.

Project description:Little is known about the mechanisms underlying the localization of human melanocytes during embryogenesis, and how the characteristics of melanocytes differ in various body sites. Immunohistochemical studies of biopsy tissue obtained from four different anatomic sites (scalp, back, abdomen, and sole) of 31 aborted fetuses following the approval of the ethics committee for the study of human gene analysis revealed that the melanocyte-associated marker gp100 was expressed earlier in embryogenesis than other melanocyte markers. Human fetal melanocytes are initially localized in the epidermis, and then migrate to the hair buds from the epidermis but not the dermis. In the sole, melanocytes localize in eccrine sweat gland ducts. Cultured fetal melanocytes did not stain positively for any melanocyte markers other than MITF and nestin. When co-cultured with normal human keratinocytes and fibroblasts, fetal melanocytes stained positively for gp100. Gene expression studies indicated that fetal melanocytes were topographically diverse, especially sole-derived melanocytes compared with other melanocytes. Expression of several genes, including CHI3L1 and FGF7, was higher in sole-derived melanocytes. These findings suggest that human fetal melanocytes derived from the sole have different profiles both in vivo and in vitro compared with melanocytes from other sites.

These findings suggest that human fetal melanocytes derived from the sole have different profiles both in vivo and in vitro compared with melanocytes from other sites. In this study, microarray analyses were performed using cultured fetal melanocytes from 4 different sites (scalp, back, abdomen and sole) obtained at 19 WOG, and newborn normal epidermal melanocyte as a control. RNA purification was performed using an RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen, Germany) and those 5 samples, were analyzed using GeneChip 1.0 ST Array (Affymetrix, CA, USA).

Project description:UVR is the principal risk factor for melanoma development. While the role of UVR in DNA mutagenesis is incontrovertible, it remains controversial what role UVR-induced mutations play in melanoma genesis. To better understand how UVR is contributing to melanoma development, we investigated the non-mutational effect of UVR on the epigenome, specifically DNA methylation. Aberrant DNA methylation changes are a hallmark in melanoma; however, there are few reports on the effects of UVR on DNA methylation. We exposed melanocytes to UVR and cultured them for one-month to detect hertible and stable changes in DNA methylation. We found both hyper and hypo methylated sites after UVR exposure. While many of these changes occured outside of promoters and areas of active gene expression, there were changes in promoter DNA methylation changes that correlated with changes in gene expression. These changes also correlated with those found in melanoma and UVR sensitive sites were prognostic of patient overall survival. Our work shows for the first time UVR induced DNA methylation changes in melanocytes and may be another way in which UVR contributes to melanoma development.

Project description:Target genes of ultraviolet stress response in cutaneous melanocytes, potentially associated with solar induced melanocarcinogenesis, were characterized by cDNA microarray technology. In cultured normal human melanocytes, 198 genes out of »9000 arrayed were found modulated > 1.9 times following artificial ultraviolet (mainly ultraviolet-B) irradiation (100 mJ per cm2).

Project description:Melanocytes are surrounded by diverse cells including sensory neurons in our skin, but their interaction and functional importance has been poorly investigated. In this study, we found that melanocytes and nociceptive neurons contact more in human skin color patch tissue than control. Co-culture with human iPS cell-derived sensory neurons significantly induced morphogenesis and pigmentation of human melanocytes. To reveal melanocytes-stimulating factors secreted from neurons, we performed proteomic analyses and identified RGMB in the sensory neuron-conditioned media. RGMB protein induced morphogenesis and melanin production of melanocytes, demonstrating that RGMB is a melanocyte-stimulating factor released from sensory neurons. Transcriptome analysis suggested that the melanosome transport machinery could be controlled by RGMB, which led us to identify vesicle production response of melanocytes upon RGMB treatment. This study discovered a role of sensory neurons to modulate multiple aspects of human melanocytes through secretion of a key factor RGMB.
