Transcriptional profiles of NRAS- and BRAF-mutant melanoma cell lines under normal conditions and in response to glucose starvation
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: NRAS and BRAF are the most commonly found genetic alterations in melanoma. It has been demonstrated that NRAS and BRAF oncogenic alterations, even affecting the same signaling pathway, represent two different clinical and biochemical entities, showing different signaling patterns and biological responses. Metabolic reprogramming is considered a novel target to control cancer; however, it is mostly unknown how the NRAS oncogene contributes to this cancer hallmark. We have showed that NRAS-mutated melanomas harbor specific metabolic alterations that render cells sensitive to RAS pathway inhibition upon metabolic stress. Gene expression analysis has confirmed different transcriptional profiles of NRAS- and BRAF- mutant cells both, under basal conditions and in response to glucose starvation. Moreover, analysis of glucose metabolism-related genes expression regulation revealed PFKFB2 as an important player linking glycolysis and RAS pathway activation.
