Project description:Metastatic process is considered the predominant cause of melanoma-specific death, decreasing survival dramatically, and resulting in difficulties in the effective treatment. Large variety of molecular pathways associated with disease development and progression suggests that no individual molecular alteration is crucial in these processes per se. Our aim was to gain insight into the molecular alterations behind metastasis formation, and to determine to what extent the profiles of primary melanoma and the corresponding metastasis are similar or distinct. High-throughput gene expression profiling was performed in combination with DNA microarrays to define significantly altered genes between matched primary and metastatic melanoma cell lines and tissue samples. Invasive behavior of different cell lines was determined using Matrigel invasion assays, and invasive primary clones were cultured selectively. Real-time qRT-PCR was applied to define integrin expression profiles of cell line pairs and melanoma tissue samples.

Project description:Lack of specific markers for invasive uveal melanoma cells prevents early diagnosis of metastasis, while no systemic treatment options are available for patients with disseminated uveal melanomas. Intra-tumor heterogeneity has been recognized in numerous cancers as the main cause of metastasis development and therapy resistance. However, in uveal melanomas the specific subpopulations and their biological function which influence tumor behavior remained unknown. Here, using scRNA-seq analysis of six different primary uveal melanomas, we uncovered previously unrecognized intratumor heterogeneity. We localized diverse tumor-associated populations and transcriptional states in primary uveal melanomas. We also unraveled a gene regulatory network underlying a poor prognosis melanoma state. Heterogeneity was demonstrated in uveal melanoma tissue using the RNAscope assay. Thus, single-cell analysis offers an unprecedented view of intratumor heterogeneity in primary uveal melanoma, identified bona fide biomarkers for metastatic cells in the primary tumor, and unravel targetable modules driving metastase formation and growth, with critical implications for prognosis and therapeutic opportunity.

Project description:Application of a melanoma experimental metastasis model to elucidate molecular mediators of melanoma brain metastasis. Malignant melanoma frequently metastasizes to the brain. The molecular mediators of brain metastasis still remains largely unknnown. Two melanoma cell lines (opposing phenotypes in vitro: invasive/proliferative) were injected (L.V) into immune-compromised animals to generate organ-specific in vivo metastatic tumor cells and host tissue. Immunomagnetic separation was applied to separate tumor cells from host stroma. A rat model was applied to generate organ-specific profiles. Subsequently, a mouse model was applied to generate in vivo brain metastatic samples to follow altered gene expression in melanoma colonizing the brain over time. Gene expression data was collected from human and animal host-specific arrays.

Project description:Uveal melanoma is the most common cancer of the eye arising from melanocytes within the choroid, ciliary bodies and iris. Almost half of uveal melanomas metastasize hematogenously to distant organs, most often the liver, where the disease becomes fatal. One of the first genetic alterations to be identified in primary uveal melanomas was monosomy 3, which was found to be strongly associated with metastasis. We used gene expression profiling to identify two phenotypically distinct classes of uveal melanomas: class 1 tumors with low-grade morphology and low metastatic risk; and class 2 tumors with aggressive morphology and high metastatic risk. Our initial studies suggested that gene expression profiling was a better predictor of metastasis than monosomy 3. For this study, BAC-array comparative genomic hybridization was used to assay genomic DNA isolated from fresh frozen primary uveal melanoma samples of known molecular class based on gene expression profiling. Independent samples were sent to the aCGH cores at the University of California, San Francisco and the Roswell Park Cancer Institute for hybridization, and log2 ratios were reported. Total genomic DNA was obtained from tumor samples that were collected at the time of treatment. Samples were analyzed by the Microarray Shared Resource at the Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of California, San Francisco or by the Microarray and Genomics Facility of the Roswell Park Cancer Institute.

Project description:In this study the global expression profiles of primary oral melanomas that metastasised were compared with those of primary tumours that did not metastasise. The objective was to identify genes involved in oral melanoma metastatic progression that may represent targets for therapeutic intervention and biomarkers for prediction of tumour metastasis.

Project description:Malignant melanoma is characterized by frequent metastasis, however specific changes that regulate this process have not been clearly delineated. Although it is well known that Wnt signaling is frequently dysregulated in melanoma, the functional implications of this observation are unclear. By modulating beta-catenin levels in a mouse model of melanoma that is based on melanocyte-specific Pten loss and BrafV600E mutation, we demonstrate that beta-catenin is a central mediator of melanoma metastasis to lymph node and lung. In addition to altering metastasis, beta-catenin levels control tumor differentiation and regulate both MAPK/Erk and PI3K/Akt signaling. Highly metastatic tumors with beta-catenin stabilization are very similar to a subset of human melanomas; together these findings establish Wnt signaling as a metastasis regulator in melanoma.

Project description:To metastasize, a tumor cell must acquire abilities such as the capacity to colonize new tissue and evade immune surveillance. Recent evidence suggests that microRNAs can promote the evolution of malignant behaviors by regulating multiple targets simultaneously. We performed a microRNA analysis of human melanoma, an aggressively invasive cancer, and found that miR-30b/30d upregulation correlates with stage, metastatic potential of primary tumors, shorter time to recurrence and reduced overall survival. Ectopic expression of miR-30b/30d promoted the metastatic behavior of melanoma cells by directly targeting the GalNAc transferase GALNT7, resulted in increased synthesis of the immunosuppressive cytokine IL-10, and reduced immune cell activation and recruitment. These data point to a key role of miR-30b/30d and GalNAc transferases in metastasis, by simultaneously promoting cellular invasion and immune suppression. MicroRNAs are emerging as key contributors to tumor metastasis because of their ability to regulate multiple targets, and thereby alter several functions, simultaneously. We found a miRNA cluster that promotes metastasis by concurrently enhancing invasive capabilities of melanoma cells and suppressing immune surveillance mechanisms, allowing the tumor cells to migrate and invade foreign tissue. Both these effects of miR-30b/30d are mediated by direct suppression of GalNAc transferases. Aberrant glycosylation has previously been connected to tumor progression, but the underlying molecular mechanisms and their impact on specific cellular pathways are poorly understood. Our work places the control of glycosylation as a novel molecular link between tumor cell migration and immune evasion, two processes that act synergistically during metastasis. 2 different melanoma cell line, 2 biological duplicates for each cell line Differentially expressed genes (mRNAs) in response to miRNA over-expression
