Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) influence cancer development through post-transcriptional negative regulation of both tumor suppressors and oncogenes. We subjected melanoma cell lines, normal melanocytes, and keratinocytes to array based miRNA profiling, and identified several distinct miRNAs with differential expression. Specifically, miR-211 levels were depleted in all eight melanoma cell lines examined, and also in 23 of 30 distinct patient melanoma samples (graded as primary in situ, regional metastatic, distant metastatic and nodal metastatic). Putative target genes of miR-211 were identified, and their anticipated increased expression levels were confirmed in melanoma cell lines, which were reduced in two melanoma cell lines that artificially over-expressed miR-211. Four such target genes (TCF12, RAB22A, KCNMA1 and SLC37A3) were confirmed by a target cleavage assay. Stable over-expression of miR-211 in two melanoma cell lines caused significant growth inhibition and reduced invasiveness. The differential expression of miR-211 in a variety of melanoma cell lines and clinical samples, consistent inverse correlation between miR-211 and its target mRNA levels, and growth retardation and reduced invasiveness of melanoma cell lines by miR-211 are all consistent with the idea that the depletion of miR-211 is a key step in melanoma development and/or progression The 15 Samples in this submission represent gene-level expression profiling of isolated total RNA from WM1552C, WM1552+miRNA211, A375, A375+miRNA211 and melanocytes hybridized to Affymetrix exon ararys.

Project description:mRNA profiles generated from primary fibroblast upon treatment with miR-211, miR-302 or melanoma melanosomes. Abstract: Melanoma originates in the epidermis and enters the metastatic and lethal phase upon invasion into the dermis. However, the interactions between melanoma cells and the dermis prior to this invasion have been poorly studied. Here we uncover that melanoma cells directly affect the formation of the dermal tumor niche by microRNA (miRNA) trafficking prior to invading the dermis. Melanocytes, the cells of melanoma origin, are specialized in trafficking of pigment vesicles, termed melanosomes and, interestingly, melanoma cells retain this trafficking ability. In melanoma in-situ specimens, we found melanosome markers in distal fibroblasts prior to the invasion of melanoma cells into the dermis. Melanoma-derived melanosomes carry miRNAs into primary fibroblasts that trigger changes in the fibroblasts, including increased proliferation, migration, and expression of pro-inflammatory genes, all known features of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). Specifically, we found that melanosomal miRNA-211 directly targets IGF2R and leads to MAPK signaling activation in fibroblasts, which reciprocally encourages melanoma growth. Treatment of melanoma cells with a melanosome release-inhibitor prevented CAF formation. Since the first interaction of melanoma cells with blood vessels occurs in the dermis, our data suggest a promising opportunity to block melanoma cell invasion by preventing the formation of the dermal tumor niche. In the paper we showed the 10% of most differentially expressed mRNA upon miR-211, miR-320c and melanosomes treatment and overlap of 2000 downregulated mRNA upon miR-211 and melanosomes treatment with predicted target gene miR-211 and CAFs related genes Expresssion profiling was performed for primary fibroblasts transfected with miRNA-211 mimic and miRNA-320c mimic.

Project description:microRNA-7-5p (miR-7-5p) is an established tumor suppressor in multiple cancer types and inhibits growth and invasion by suppressing expression and activity of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway. While melanoma is not typically driven by EGFR signaling, expression of miR-7-5p is reduced in metastatic tumors compared to primary melanoma. Here, we investigated the biological and clinical significance of miR-7-5p in melanoma. Our results showed that augmenting miR-7-5p expression in vitro markedly reduced tumor cell viability, colony formation and induced cell cycle arrest. Furthermore, ectopic expression of miR-7-5p reduced migration and invasion of melanoma cells in vitro and reduced melanoma lung colonizationmetastasis in vivo. To investigate the mechanism underlying this effect, we used cDNA microarray analysis to identify a subset of putative miR-7-5p target genes associated with melanoma and metastasis. Of these, we confirmed nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) subunit RelA, as a novel direct target of miR-7-5p in melanoma cells, such that miR-7-5p suppresses NF-κB activity to decrease expression of canonical NF-κB target genes, including IL-1a, IL-6 and IL-8. Importantly, the effects of miR-7-5p on melanoma cell growth, cell cycle, migration and invasion were recapitulated by RelA knockdown. Finally, analysis of gene array datasets from multiple melanoma patient cohorts revealed an association between elevated RelA expression and poor survival, further emphasizing the clinical significance of RelA and its downstream signaling effectors.. Taken together, our data suggest that miR-7-5p replacement therapy might have clinical utility in melanoma to inhibit the metastatic process, in part through its inactivation of RelA/NF-kB signaling. Total RNA was extracted from WM266-4 cells transfected with miR-NC or miR-7-5p precursor molecules (30 nM) for 24 h, using Qiazol reagent (Qiagen).

Project description:Three metastatic melanoma cell lines (BD-0548-ME, DP-0574-ME and WP-0614-ME) were transfected with miR precursors: hsa-miR negative control (NC) or hsa-miR-200a-3p precursors (miR-200a). The objective of this experiment was to determine miR-200a targets in metastatic melanoma cell lines. We selected low -miR-200a expression cell lines and then we overexpressed miR-200a or NC. Finally, we compared the metastatic melanoma cell lines with miR-200a overexpression (miR-200a) to the same cell line transfected with the negative control miR (NC).

Project description:Introduction: The prognosis for patients with breast tumor metastases to brain is extremely poor. Identification of prognostic molecular markers of the metastatic process is critical for designing therapeutic modalities for reducing the occurrence of metastasis. Although ubiquitously present in most human organs, calcium-activated potassium (BK) channel is significantly upregulated in breast cancer cells. In this study we investigated the role of KCNMA1 gene, which encodes α subunit of KCa channels (BK channels) in breast cancer metastasis and invasion. Methods: We performed Global exon array to study the expression of KCNMA1 in metastatic breast cancer in brain, compared its expression in primary breast cancer and breast cancers metastatic to other organs, and validated the findings by RT-PCR. Immunohistochemistry was performed to study the expression and localization of α subunit of KCa channel protein in primary and metastatic breast cancer tissues and breast cancer cell lines. We performed matrigel invasion, transendothelial migration and membrane potential assays in established lines of normal breast cells (MCF-10A), non-metastatic breast cancer (MCF-7), non-brain metastatic breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231), and brain-specific metastatic breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-361) to study whether KCa channel inhibition attenuates breast tumor invasion and metastasis using KCNMA1 knockdown with siRNA and biochemical inhibition with IBTX (Iberiotoxin). Results: The Global exon array and RT-PCR showed higher KCNMA1 expression in metastatic breast cancer in brain compared to metastatic breast cancers in other organs. Our results clearly show that metastatic breast cancer cells exhibit increased BK channel activity, leading to greater invasiveness and transendothelial migration, both of which could be attenuated by blocking KCNMA1. Conclusion: Determining the relative abundance of BK channel over expression in breast cancer metastatic to brain and the mechanism of its action in brain metastasis will provide a unique opportunity to identify and differentiate between low grade breast tumors that are at high risk for metastasis from those at low risk for metastasis. This distinction would in turn allow for the appropriate and efficient application of effective treatments while sparing patients with low risk for metastasis from the toxic side effects of chemotherapy.

Project description:Cutaneous melanoma is an increasingly common form of skin cancer. The molecular mechanisms regulating melanoma progression are not completely understood. We speculated that specific miRNAs may be involved in melanoma development. We compared the miRNA expression profiles of benign nevi and metastatic melanomas. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering demonstrated a distinct miRNA expression pattern in metastatic melanomas compared to nevi. We identified miRNAs that were differentially expressed in melanoma. Notably, miR-193b was significantly down-regulated in the melanoma tissue examined. Using functional studies we demonstrated that over-expression of miR-193b significantly reduced melanoma cell proliferation, and arrested cell at G1 phase. Further gene expression analysis revealed that miR-193b regulated targets involved in cell cycle. Cyclin D1 was down-regulated by miR-193b at both the mRNA and protein level. This is the first study to show that the miR-193b may reduce cell proliferation by directly repressing cyclin D1. Overall, our study suggests that miRNAs are dysregulated in metastatic melanoma, and that miR-193b may play an important role in melanoma. 8 benign nevi and 8 metastatic melanoma tissue samples were profiled by Agilent MicroRNA Microarray (V1.5).

Project description:RNA half-life is closely related to its cellular physiological function, so stability determinants may have regulatory functions. Micro(mi)RNAs have primarily been studied with respect to post-transcriptional mRNA regulation and target degradation. Here we study the impact of the tumour suppressive melanoma miRNA miR-211 on transcriptome stability and phenotype in the non-pigmented melanoma cell line, A375. Using 5ʹ-bromouridine IP chase (BRIC)-seq, transcriptome-wide RNA stability profiles revealed highly regulated genes and pathways important in this melanoma cell line. By combining BRIC-seq, RNA-seq and in silico predictions, we identified both existing and novel direct miR-211 targets. We validated DUSP3 as one such novel miR-211 target, which itself sustains colony formation and invasion in A375 cells via MAPK/PI3K signalling. miRNAs have the capacity to control RNA turnover as a gene expression mechanism, and RNA stability profiling is an excellent tool for interrogating functionally relevant gene regulatory pathways and miRNA targets when combined with other high-throughput and in silico approaches.
