Active natural compounds perturb the melanoma risk-gene network
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Cutaneous melanoma is an aggressive type of skin cancer with a complex genetic landscape caused by the malignant transformation of melanocytes. The study aimed at providing an in-silico network model based on the systematic profiling of the melanoma-associated genes considering germline mutations, somatic mutations, and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) signals (collectively melanoma risk genes). A protein-protein interaction network (melanoma risk network) was constructed using the melanoma risk genes to describe the functional landscape in which the melanoma genes operate within the cellular milieu. A significant portion of the melanoma risk network showed differential expression when SK-MEL-28 human melanoma cells were exposed to the phytochemicals harmine and berberine chloride reinforcing the hypothesis that network modelling may represent an alternative screening approach to prioritize potentially active compounds.
