RNAseq of low-pigmented and high-pigmented cells from mouse B16 melanoma cell lines (experiment 1)

ABSTRACT: Functional variation due to underlying genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity poses a major challenge to long-term melanoma management. Melanin pigment production is the hallmark of normal melanocytic differentiation but varies significantly between and within melanoma tumours. Detailed assessment of the functional consequences of pigment heterogeneity in viable melanoma samples has been experimentally challenging. Here, we developed a novel method to prospectively separate melanoma cell populations based on the presence of intracellular melanin using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). We find that nearly all pigmented patient melanomas and melanoma cell lines comprise mixtures of cells ranging from very high to low or undetectable pigment content. Using viable sorted cells, we interrogated the functional characteristics of low pigmented cells (LPC) and high pigmented cells (HPC) in the B16-F10 mouse melanoma cell line.

Gene expression profile at single cell level of low and high pigmented B16 cells [B16_D7_LP_HP_scRNA]

Project description:B16 F10 is a depigmented mouse melanoma cell line which is considered as a homogeneous cell population. These cells when cultured at a very low density of 100 cells/cm2 starts to pigment progressively for a period of 7 days. Phenotypically two broad population of low and high pigmented cells are observed at day 7 in this low density culture. We used single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze the diversity of B16 cells cultured at low density for 7 days.

Gene Expression Analysis of Zebrafish Melanocytes, Iridophores, and Retinal Pigmented Epithelium Reveals Indicators of Biological Function and Developmental Origin

Project description:In order to facilitate understanding of pigment cell biology, we developed a method to concomitantly purify melanocytes, iridophores, and retinal pigmented epithelium from zebrafish, and analyzed their transcriptomes. Comparing expression data from these cell types and whole embryos allowed us to reveal gene expression co-enrichment in melanocytes and retinal pigmented epithelium, as well as in melanocytes and iridophores. We found 214 genes co-enriched in melanocytes and retinal pigmented epithelium, indicating the shared functions of melanin-producing cells. We found 62 genes significantly co-enriched in melanocytes and iridophores, illustrative of their shared developmental origins from the neural crest. This is also the first analysis of the iridophore transcriptome. Gene expression analysis for iridophores revealed extensive enrichment of specific enzymes to coordinate production of their guanine-based reflective pigment. We speculate the coordinated upregulation of specific enzymes from several metabolic pathways recycles the rate-limiting substrate for purine synthesis, phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate, thus constituting a guanine cycle. The purification procedure and expression analysis described here, along with the accompanying transcriptome-wide expression data, provide the first mRNA sequencing data for multiple purified zebrafish pigment cell types, and will be a useful resource for further studies of pigment cell biology. mRNA profiles of zebrafish pigment cells were generated using Illumina GAIIX sequencing

Deficiency in nucleotide excision repair (NER) family gene activity, especially ERCC3, is associated with non-pigmented hair fiber growth

Project description:The hair follicle bulb is the only site of pigment production for the hair shaft and melanogenically active melanocytes are located in the upper hair matrix. We conducted a microarray study to discover gene expression patterns that may be implicated in the lack of melanogenesis in gray hair follicles (HF). Pigmented and non-pigmented HFs collected from the same individuals were micro-dissected into the lower one third including the hair bulb (HB) and the upper hair shaft and sheaths (HS) including the bulge region. Microarray data was verified with qPCR and immunohistochemistry. Target effects were evaluated in vitro on human epidermal melanocytes (HEMs). In comparison to pigmented HS and HBs, several nucleotide excision repair (NER) family genes exhibited statistically significant lower expression both in non-pigmented HS and non-pigmented HB. These genes were identified as ERCC1, ERCC2, ERCC3, ERCC4, ERCC5, ERCC6, XPA, NTPBP, HCNP, DDB2 and POLH. Immunohistochemistry showed consistent results. By siRNA interference we also detected that a deficiency in ERCC3 in melanocytes reduced the ability to produce melanin in vitro. Our results suggest that loss of NER gene function may lead to DNA damage and mutation accumulation in melanocytes, which may possibly lead to cell death. Further, a loss of ERCC3 function may lead to reduced gene transcription and this in turn may lead to reduced melanin production ability. These results offer a new insight into the molecular changes that occur in non-pigmented HF and may also provide novel information with regard to melanogenesis and its regulation.

Expression data from non-pigmented and pigmented mouse melanocytes

Project description:Immortalized, amelanotic melanocytes isolted from skin of Balb/c express enzymatically-inactive tyrosinase due to a homozygous point mutation (TGT->TCT) in tyrosinase gene, resulting in a lack of melanin . To serve as a control cell line, pigmentation was restored in these cells by correcting the point mutation using an RNA-DNA oligonucleotide (kingly gift from Dr. Alexeev Y. Vitali). We used microarray to detail the effect of tyrosinase mutation on gene expression in normal versus mutant melanocytes. Pigmented and non-pigmented melanocytes were grown for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We used both normal and mutant melanocyte in order to obtain expression profiles. We then examined variances in gene expression between the two cell lines.

Epigenetic and pharmacological control of pigmentation via the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex

Project description:Lineage-specific differentiation programs are activated by epigenetic changes in chromatin structure. Melanin-producing melanocytes maintain a gene expression program ensuring appropriate enzymatic conversion of metabolites into the pigment, melanin, and its transfer to surrounding cells. During neuroectodermal development, SMARCA4, the catalytic subunit of SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complexes, is essential for lineage specification. SMARCA4 is also required for development of multipotent neural crest precursors into melanoblasts, which differentiate into pigment-producing melanocytes. In addition to the catalytic domain, SMARCA4 and several SWI/SNF subunits contain bromodomains which are amenable to pharmacological inhibition. We investigated the effects of pharmacological inhibitors of SWI/SNF bromodomains on melanocyte differentiation. Strikingly, treatment of murine melanoblasts and human neonatal epidermal melanocytes with selected bromodomain inhibitors abrogated melanin synthesis and visible pigmentation. Using functional genomics, iBRD9, a small molecule selective for the bromodomain of BRD9, repressed pigmentation-specific gene expression. Depletion of BRD9 confirmed a requirement for expression of pigmentation genes in the differentiation program from melanoblasts into pigmented melanocytes and in melanoma cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays showed that iBRD9 disrupts the occupancy of bromodomain containing 9 (BRD9) and the catalytic subunit SMARCA4. These data indicate that BRD9 promotes melanocyte differentiation and pigmentation whereas pharmacological inhibition of BRD9 is repressive.

Expression data from retinal pigment epithelium in pigmented and albino mouse embryos

Project description:In mammalian albinism, disrupted melanogenesis in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is associated with fewer retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) projecting ipsilaterally to the brain, resulting in numerous abnormalities in the retina and visual pathway, especially binocular vision. To further understand the molecular link between disrupted RPE and a reduced ipsilateral RGC projection in albinism, we compared gene expression in the embryonic albino and pigmented mouse RPE.
