Project description:Here we report a novel role for H2A.Z.2 (H2AFV) as a mediator of cell proliferation and sensitivity to targeted therapies in malignant melanoma. While both H2A.Z.1 and H2A.Z.2 are highly expressed in metastatic melanoma and correlate with decreased patient survival, only H2A.Z.2 deficiency results in impaired cellular proliferation of melanoma cells, which occurs via a G1/S arrest. Integrated gene expression and ChIP-seq analyses revealed that H2A.Z.2 positively regulates E2F target genes, and that such genes acquire a distinct H2A.Z occupancy signature over the promoter and gene body in metastatic melanoma cells. We further identified the BET family member BRD2 as an H2A.Z-interacting protein in melanoma cells, and demonstrate that H2A.Z.2 silencing cooperates with BET inhibition to induce cell death. Total RNA samples from SKmel147 melanoma cell line. Transcript levels were analyzed after control or H2AZ variant RNA interference.

Mononucleosomes from SK-mel147 (wt and stably expressing eGFP-H2A. eGFP-H2A.Z.1 and eGFP-H2A.Z.2) and melanocytes were isolated for ChIP with H2A.Z antibody or GFP trap beads (Chromotek).

Project description:Epigenetic alterations play significant roles in the melanoma tumorigenesis and malignant progression. We profiled genome-wide promoter DNA methylation patterns of melanoma cells deribed from primary lesions of Radial Growrth phase (RGP) and Vertical Growth Phase (VGP), metastatic lesions, and primary normal melanocytes by interrogating 14,495 genes using Illumina bead chip technology. By comparative analysis of the promoter methylation profiles, we identified epigenetically silenced gene signatures that potentially associated with malignant melanoma progression. Bisulphite converted genomic DNA from a group of melanoma cells representing pathologic stages of melanoma progression (3 cell lines derived from RGP melanoma lesions, 4 cell lines derived from VGP lesions, and 3 melastatic melanomas) and normal human primary melanocytes isolated from lightly pigmented adult skin were hybridized to Illumina's Infinium HumanMethylation27 BeadChips

Project description:Aberrant DNA methylation and histone modifications both contribute to carcinogenesis, but how these two epigenetic factors interact to impact gene expression remain unclear. To address this issue, we studied gene expression profiles, DNA methylation and two key histone modifications (H3K4me3 and H3K27me3), in two normal melanocytes (HEMn and HEMa) and two melanoma cell lines SK-MEL-28 and LOXIMVI. Using these data, we analyzed the relationship between epigenetic factors and gene expression status in both normal and melanoma cells, and the impact of epigenetic switches on gene expression change during melanomagenesis. Each of the two normal melanocytes (HEMn and HEMa) and the two melanoma cell lines SK-MEL-28 and LOXIMVI was cultured in triplicate. For each cell line, the same culture conditions and cell density were applied to the triplicates. Total RNA was extracted and microarray analysis was performed for genome-wide gene expression profiling. Using the Sentrix Human-HT12 v4 Beadchip, all four cell samples, each in triplicate, were examined in 12 individual arrays on a same beadchip. Thus, together with the data on DNA methylation and histone modifications, we could not only analyze the epigenetic regulation of gene expression in each cell sample, but also investigate the expression change associated with epigenetic changes in melanoma when compared to normal melanocytes.

Project description:We analysed the whole-genome transcriptional profile of 6 cell lines of dark melanocytes (DM) and 6 of light melanocytes (LM) at basal conditions and after UVB at different time points (6, 12 and 24h) to investigate the mechanisms by which melanocytes protect human skin from the damaging effects of ultraviolet-B radiation (UVB). Further, we assessed the effect of different keratinocyte-conditioned media (KCM+ and KCM-) on melanocytes. We analysed six lines of melanocytes isolated from lightly pigmented neonatal foreskin (LM), and six lines from darkly pigmented neonatal foreskin (DM), at 0, 6, 12 and 24 hours post UV irradiation. We also assessed the effect of different keratinocyte-conditioned media (KCM+ or KCM-)

Project description:Exosomes are small membraneous vesicles secreted into body fluids by tumors. Tumor exosomes contain intact and functional mRNAs, small RNAs (including miRNAs), and proteins that can alter the cellular environment to favor tumor growth. Further exploration into the molecular profiling of exosomes may increase our understanding of their roles in melanoma progression in vivo, and may have potential application in biomarker studies. In the present study, we used mRNA array profiling to identify thousands of exosomal mRNAs associated with melanoma progression and metastasis. Similarly, miRNA array profiling identified specific miRNAs, such as hsa-miR-31, -185, and -34b, involved in melanoma invasion. Our results indicate that melanoma-derived exosomes have unique gene expression signatures and miRNA profiles that may have important functions in melanoma metastasis and progression. Total RNA from cells and exosomes were isolated using mirVana total RNA isolation kit according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. RNA was quantified using Nanodrop ND-1000. The integrity of these total RNAs was assessed using Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. Total high-quality RNA was converted to cDNA, transcribed and labelled, and then hybridized to human HG-U133 plus 2 arrays (Affymetrix) then scanned according to the standard protocol recommended by Affymetrix. Two different RNA preparations from two cell lines and their exosomes were used.

The miRNA array profiling was performed by using the Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA Array 1.0. Two different RNA preparations from two cell lines and their exosomes were used, except that only one RNA preparation was used for HEMa-LP exosome miRNA array. Due to the limited number of passages (approximately 10), adequate exosomal RNA and proteins from HEMa-LP cells for multiple analyses was not available.
