Project description:Melanoma incidence and mortality rates are historically higher for men than women. Although emerging studies have highlighted tumorigenic roles for the male sex hormone androgen and its receptor (AR) in melanoma, cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying these sex-associated discrepancies are poorly defined. Here, we delineate a previously undisclosed mechanism by which androgen-activated AR transcriptionally upregulates fucosyltransferase 4 (FUT4) expression, which drives melanoma invasiveness by interfering with adherens junctions (AJs). Global phosphoproteomic and fucoproteomic profiling, coupled with in vitro and in vivo functional validation, further reveals that AR-induced FUT4 fucosylates L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM), which is required for FUT4-increased metastatic capacity. Tumor microarray and gene expression analyses demonstrate that AR-FUT4-L1CAM-AJs signaling correlates with pathological staging in melanoma patients. By delineating key androgen-triggered signaling that enhances metastatic aggressiveness, our findings help to explain sex-associated clinical outcome disparities and highlight AR/FUT4 and its effectors as potential prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets in melanoma.

Project description:Functional analysis of ABCB5 in A375 and G3361 melanoma cells, by comparing stably-transfected controls to ABCB5-shRNA-targeted cells. 12 samples total. Replicates n=3 for the following 4 groups: A375 pSUPER-retro-puro-Vector vs. A375 pSUPER-retro-puro-ABCB5-KD; G3361 pSUPER-retro-puro-shCNTRL vs. G3361 pSUPER-retro-puro-ABCB5-KD.

Project description:Our studies demonstrate that BMI-1 plays a crucial role in the EMT process and drug resistance in melanoma. Silencing Bmi-1 significantly inhibites the aggressive behavior and improves the chemosensitivity to all-trans retinoic acid on melanoma cells. We compared the different genes expression of A375-vector and A375-BMI-1 cells for exploring the underlying mechanisms of BMI-1 regulation on melanoma.

Project description:The majority of BRAFV600 mutant melanomas regress in response to BRAF/MEK inhibitors (BRAFi/MEKi). Yet nearly all relapse within the first two years. Most BRAFi/MEKi-resistant tumors are cross-resistant to immunotherapies, highlighting the need to prevent and circumvent resistance. We recently showed that androgen receptor (AR) activity is required for sustained melanoma cells proliferation and tumorigenesis. Here we find that AR expression is markedly increased in BRAFi resistant melanoma cells as well as in sensitive cells already at very early times of BRAFi exposure. Proliferation and tumorigenicity of BRAFi resistant melanoma cells are blunted by genetic or pharmacologic suppression of AR activity, while AR overexpression is by itself sufficient to rendersmelanoma cells BRAFi/MEKi-resistant. Increased AR elicits transcriptional changes linked with AXL-positive BRAFi resistant subpopulations and induces expression of PAI-1 and EGFR, two determinants of melanoma progression that associate with elevated AR expression in clinical cohorts. Our results point to increased AR signaling as a determinant of melanoma BRAFi resistance, which can be counteracted by AR as well as PAI-1 and EGFR inhibitors.

Project description:We aimed to analyze the effects of Wnt-1 overexpression on the mRNA expression profile of human melanoma in a mouse xenograft model and correlated the results with then presence or absence of lymphangiogenesis and metastasis. Affymetrix gene expression analysis revealed activation of canonical and non-canonical targets genes in response to Wnt-1 as compared with controls. In regard to lymphangiogenic factors, the amount of VEGF-C was the single best marker to correlate with the amount of lymph-angiogenesis. mRNA expression array of human melanoma orthotopically grown in SCID mice. Comparison includes mRNA expression profile of two melanoma cell-lines (A375 and M24met) stably overexpressing control vector or Wnt-1 treated with or without CsA. Comparison #1 comprised Wnt-1 versus control in A375 and M24met melanoma, respectively. Comparison #2 comprised Wnt-1 + Cyclosporine A (CsA) versus Wnt-1 without CsA.
