Project description:PGC1a is a transcriptional coactivator that regulates energy metabolism. PGC1a is highly expressed in a subset of melanoma tumors and cell lines. We generated gene-expression profile of control and PGC1alpha depleted A375P melanoma cells, a melanoma cell line that expresses very high levels of PGC1a to investigate the role of this gene in melanoma.

Project description:Dermal invasion is a hallmark of malignant melanoma. The molecular alterations driving the progression of primary melanoma to metastatic disease have been studied extensively, whereas the early progression of non-invasive primary melanoma to an invasive state is not well understood. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying the transition from radial to vertical growth, the first step in melanoma invasion, we developed a zebrafish melanoma model in which constitutive activation of ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (RSK1) drives tumor invasion. Transcriptomic analysis of RSK1-activated tumors identified metabolic changes, including upregulation of genes associated with oxidative phosphorylation. Vertical growth phase human melanoma cells show higher oxygen consumption and preferential utilization of glutamine compared to radial growth phase melanoma cells. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1α (PGC1a has been proposed as a master regulator of tumor oxidative phosphorylation. In human primary melanoma specimens we show that PGC1a protein expression is positively associated with increased tumor thickness and expression of the proliferative marker Ki-67 and the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger SCARA3. PGC1a depletion modulates cellular processes associated with primary melanoma growth and invasion, including oxidative stress. Our results support a role for PGC1a in mediating glutamine-driven OXPHOS to facilitate the invasive growth of primary melanoma.

Project description:Orphan nuclear receptor estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRα) has recently been shown to carry negative prognostic significance in breast and ovarian cancers. The specific role of ERRα in tumor growth and progression, however, is yet to be fully understood. The significant homology between estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and ERRα initially suggested that these receptors may share similar transcriptional targets. Using the well-characterized ERα-positive MCF-7 breast cancer cell line, we sought to gain a genome-wide picture of ERα-ERRα cross-talk using an unbiased microarray approach. Since a small molecule ligand has not been identified for ERRα, its transcriptional activity in these studies was induced using its known coactivator PGC-1α (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α) as a protein ligand. Both wild-type PGC1, as well as ERRa-specific variant (PGC1 2x9) were used to activate ERRa. Non-NR-dependent activities of PGC-1α were controlled for using a variant PGC-1α in which the leucines within the NR-interacting domain had been mutated to alanines (L2L3M). Beta-galactosidase (BGAL) overexpression was used as a non-specific background control. Activation of endogenous ER was achieved by treatment with 10 nM estadiol. Experiment Overall Design: MCF7 cells were infected with adenovirus overexpressing one of the four proteins (PGC1 WT, PGC1 2x9, PGC1 L2L3 and BGAL); Twelve hours post infection cells were then treated with either 10 nM estradiol (E2)or ethanol vehicle for 12 hours. Each combination of infection and treatment was was repeated three times in three independent experiments. A total of 23 samples are presented. Two replicates instead of three are shown for PGC1 WT E2 for technical reasons.

Project description:We analyzed the transcriptional response of the human melanoma cell line MZ7 to TNF-alpha (24 hours) in a dose-dependent manner (TNF-alpha 10U/ml, 100U/ml, 1000U/ml) either transfected with control siRNA (siNT = non-targeting siRNA) or transfected with siRNAs (pool of 4 active and independent siRNAs) against the melanocytic transcription factor and lineage oncogene MITF. (Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor). The experiment was performed as biological duplicate. As MITF is critical for melanoma cell state control, we aimed to explore how MITF expression intersects with inflammation-induced plasticity pathways in melanoma.

Total RNA was obtained from siRNA/TNF-treated MZ7 melanoma cell lines at various conditions and global gene expression profiling was done using the Illumina Human HT12 v4 platform.

Project description:Epigenetic events, including covalent post-translational modification of histones, have frequently been demonstrated to play critical roles in tumor development and progression. The transcriptional coactivator, p300/CBP, possesses both histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activity as well as scaffolding properties that directly influence transcriptional activation of targeted genes. We have used a recently reported small molecule inhibitor of p300 HAT activity, C646, to explore the specific contribution of p300/CBP HAT activity to tumor development and progression. We find that C646 inhibits the growth of lineage-specific tumor cell lines including human melanomas through direct transcriptional regulation of cell cycle regulatory proteins. Further evaluation of the p300 HAT transcriptome in human melanoma cells using comprehensive gene expression profiling reveals that p300 HAT activity globally promotes cell cycle progression, nucleosome assembly, and the DNA damage checkpoint through direct transcriptional regulatory mechanisms. Additionally, C646 promotes sensitivity to DNA damaging agents leading to enhanced apoptosis of melanoma cells following combination treatment with cisplatin. Together our data suggest that p300 HAT activity regulates critical growth regulatory pathways in tumors and may serve as a novel therapeutic target for melanoma and other malignancies by promoting cellular responses to DNA damaging agents. Keywords: p300, small molecule inhibitor, melanoma WM35 cells grown under normal culture conditions were treated for 6 and 24 hours with compound C646 to block p300 HAT activity. A vehicle control (DMSO) was included at each time point. RNA was extracted from all 4 samples using the Qiagen RNeasy kit. RNA quality check, labeling, hybridization, initial data processing and analysis was performed by the JHMI Microarray Core Facility. Affymetrix GeneChip Human Exon 1.0 ST Array was used for this study.
