Project description:The current standard for investigating tumors is surgical biopsy, which is costly, invasive, and difficult to perform serially. As an adjunct, circulating tumor cells (CTCs)—cells that have broken away from the primary tumor or metastatic sites—can be obtained from a blood draw and offer the potential for obtaining serial genetic information and serving as biomarkers. Here, we detail the potential for melanoma CTCs to serve as biomarkers and discuss a clinically viable methodology for single-cell CTC isolation and analysis that overcomes previous limitations. We explore the use of melanoma CTC biomarkers by isolating and performing single-cell RNA sequencing on CTCs from melanoma patients. We then compared transcriptional profiles of single melanoma CTCs against A375 cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells to identify unique genes differentially regulated in circulating melanoma tumor cells. The information that can be obtained via analysis of these CTCs has significant potential in disease tracking.

Project description:Melanoma is an invasive malignancy with a high frequency of blood-borne metastases, but circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have not been readily isolated. We adapted microfluidic CTC capture to a tamoxifen-driven B-RAF/PTEN mouse melanoma model. CTCs were detected in all tumor-bearing mice, rapidly declining after B-RAF inhibitor treatment. CTCs were shed early from localized tumors and a short course of B-RAF inhibition following surgical resection was sufficient to dramatically suppress distant metastases. The large number of CTCs in melanoma-bearing mice enabled comparison of RNA sequencing profiles with the matched primary tumor. A mouse melanoma CTC-derived signature correlated with invasiveness and cellular motility in human melanoma. In patients with metastatic melanoma, CTCs were detected in smaller numbers in patients with metastatic melanoma and declined with successful B-RAF targeted therapy. Together, the capture of CTCs and their molecular characterization provide insight into the hematogenous spread of melanoma.

Project description:Liquid biopsies are becoming imperative on early patient diagnosis, prognosis and evaluation of residual disease. The use of circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) as surrogate markers of tumor progression could be a powerful tool in the clinical setting. EVs in plasma have emerged as a non-invasive option to detect metastatic outcome, however sensitivity is low. Here we have characterized the lymph obtained after postoperative lymphadenectomy as a novel biological fluid enriched in EVs. Our proteomic profiling and BRAFV600E/K status determination demonstrate for the first time that EVs from the lymph of melanoma patients are enriched in melanoma-associated proteins and are useful for BRAF mutations detection. Melanoma oncogenic pathways, immunomodulation and platelet activating proteins are enriched in lymph-derived exosomes from patients with distal lymph node spread compared to local/early spreading. Furthermore, patients positive for BRAFV600E mutation on lymph-circulating vesicles had a shorter time of relapse. These data encourage the analysis of lymph-circulating EVs for detection of residual disease and recurrence.

In patients with metastatic melanoma, CTCs were detected in smaller numbers in patients with metastatic melanoma and declined with successful B-RAF targeted therapy. Together, the capture of CTCs and their molecular characterization provide insight into the hematogenous spread of melanoma. We adapted a microfluidic platform, the HbCTC-Chip (Stott et al., 2010, Pubmed ID: 20930119), to capture melanoma CTCs derived from mouse tumors, using panels of antibodies against melanoma-specific cell surface markers, followed by staining for melanoma antigens and optimized on-chip fluorescent imaging. We used a tamoxifen inducible BRAF(CA/+)/PTEN(flox/flox) melanoma mouse model (Dankort et al., 2009, Pubmed ID: 19282848) derived from a C57BL/6 background. Such mice received focal subcutaneous injection of tamoxifen (Sigma) (50ul at 5mg/ml in 50% EtOH suspension) at the left flank at 6-7 weeks after birth. Blood samples were collected from five mice with high tumor burden following tamoxifen injection. Blood from each mouse was split and processed through the CTC-chips functionalized with anti-CSPG4/MCAM antibody and control IgGs, respectively. Matched primary (from the tamoxifen injection site) and metastatic (from upper or lower back) tumors were harvested from the same mouse and immediately flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen. RNA extraction, single molecular sequencing and determination of Digital Gene Expression was as in Yu et al., 2012 (Pubmed ID: 22763454). One of the five mice yielded no CTC or IgG data. In addition, skin was taken from a sixth mouse, which was a complete wild type C57BL/6 mouse (without the BRAF/PTEN transgenes).The skin was taken after euthanasia of the animal and was processed as the tissue from the matched primary and metastatic tumors.

Project description:We analyzed cell-free microRNAs (cfmiRs) in blood, tissue, and urine samples of melanoma patients to find potential biomarkers for monitoring and assessing early detection of melanoma metastasis. This study demonstrates that identifying cfmiR signatures in body fluids may allow for detection and assessment of melanoma brain metastasis (MBM) and metastatic melanoma patients undergoing checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy treatments.

This affects not only the raw files but also all the search results files. Sorry for the inconveniences.
