Transcriptomics profiling of the effect of inducible knock-down of the melanocyte inducing transcription factor (MITF) in melanoma cell lines

ABSTRACT: MITF plays critical role in development and differentiation of melanocytes and in the context of melanoma, as a lineage survival oncogene. Given its crucial role in melanoma biology, it is very difficult to generate complete knock-out (KO) of MITF and in our hands, those that were generated appear to behave differently than the effect observed using siRNA mediated knock-down, possibly indicative of selection. In order to overcome the limitation of the transient effect of siRNA and study the effect of MITF depletion over a longer period of time, we carried out transcriptomic analyses of Doxycycline inducible shMITF knock down after 8 days in 2 melanoma cell lines MeWo (CVCL_0445) and SkMel 28 (CVCL_0526)

siRNA-mediated knockdown of MITF and PAX3 in metastatic melanoma cell lines

Project description:The transcription factors PAX3 and MITF are required for the development of the neural crest and melanocyte lineage, and both proteins play important roles in melanoma cell growth and survival. PAX3 transcriptionally activates MITF expression during neural crest development, but the relationship between these transcription factors during melanocyte development and in melanoma cells is currently poorly understood. This study aimed to further our understanding of the interaction between transcriptional networks controlled by PAX3 and MITF by assessing the effect of siRNA-mediated knockdown of PAX3 and MITF in metastatic melanoma cell lines. The goals of this study were to determine (i) if PAX3 is required for maintaining expression of MITF in melanoma and melanocyte cell lines; (ii) whether PAX3 and MITF independently, or redundantly, influence growth and survival in melanoma cell lines; and (iii) to investigate the respective roles of PAX3 and MITF expression in melanoma cell differentiation. Microarrays were used to measure global changes in transcript expression in response to siRNA-mediated knockdown of PAX3 or MITF compared to non-targeting controls in two metastatic melanoma cells lines. RNA was isolated from two different metastatic melanoma cell lines 30 hours after one of four different treaments: (i) transfection with siRNA targeting PAX3; or (ii) transfection with siRNA targeting MITF; or (iii) or transfection with siRNA targeting luciferase (non-targeting negative control); or (iv) treatment with media only (control). Therefore, eight samples were used for gene expression profiling by using GeneChip arrays, with one replicate per cell line per treatment.

MITF reprograms the extracellular matrix and focal adhesion in melanoma

Project description:To assess the effects of permanent loss of MITF in melanoma cells, we used the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9 technique to generate MITF knockout (KO) cell lines in the human hypo-tetraploid SkMel28 melanoma cell line (containing four copies of MITF). We targeted exon 6 (containing the DNA binding domain) of MITF the resulting isogenic cell line is hereafter referred to as ΔMITF-X6. We also performed siRNA mediated transient knock down of MITF along with control siCTRL in 501Mel cells. Furthermore, we used a stable doxycycline inducible over-expression cell line containing FLAG tagged MITF and a control cells with empty vector FLAG in A375P. From our RNA-sequencing studies we found that MITF plays a critical role as a repressor of extracellular matrix gene expression and is actively involved in shaping the microenvironment of melanoma cells in a cell-autonomous manner.

The chromatin dynamics of the TFAP2A/ MITF genetic interaction in melanocyte development.

Project description:We have deleted TFAP2A and its redundantly-acting paralog TFAP2C in human melanoma SkMel28 cell lines and are assessing MITF binding using Cleavage Under Targets and Release Using Nuclease (CUT&RUN). Conversely, we deleted all copies of MITF in SkMEL28 cells and are similarly profiling TFAP2A bound loci. We predict TFAP2A functions as a pioneer factor for MITF during melanocyte development and that in the absence of TFAP2A, MITF binding at loci normally co-bound by MITF/TFAP2A will be disrupted.

MITF ChIP-seq in primary melanocyte and melanoma as a function of oncogenic BRAF

Project description:Thousands of enhancers are characterized in the human genome, yet few have been shown important in cancer. Inhibiting oncokinases, such as EGFR, ALK, HER2, and BRAF, is a mainstay of current cancer therapy but is hindered by innate drug resistance mediated by upregulation of the HGF receptor, MET. The mechanisms mediating such genomic responses to targeted therapy are unknown. Here, we identify lineage-specific MET enhancers for multiple common tumor types, including a melanoma lineage-specific MET enhancer that displays inducible chromatin looping and MET gene induction upon BRAF inhibition. Epigenomic analysis demonstrated that the melanocyte-specific transcription factor, MITF, mediates this enhancer function. Targeted genomic deletion (<7bp) of the MITF motif within the MET enhancer suppressed inducible chromatin looping and innate drug resistance, while maintaining MITF-dependent, inhibitor-induced melanoma cell differentiation. Epigenomic analysis can thus guide functional disruption of regulatory DNA to decouple pro- and anti-oncogenic functions of tumor lineage-enriched transcription factors mediating innate resistance to oncokinase therapy. MITF ChIP-seq was performed in primary human melanocytes with overexpression of BRAFV600E or a lentiviral control (RFP), and in COLO829 melanoma cells treated with DMSO, or PLX4032

Modulation of the transcriptional response to TNF-alpha in the human melanoma cell line MZ7 by MITF

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.

A novel recurrent mutation in MITF predisposes to familial and sporadic melanoma

Project description:We identified a novel germline mutation of the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF - E318K). This mutation was found to be present in numerous melanoma families, as well as the general population, where its association with melanoma has a significant effect. We determined the effect of the E318K mutation on global MITF target gene transcription. We developed a tetracycline-inducible system for expression of wild type MITF or the E318K variant in melanoma cell lines with constitutively low or undetectable levels of endogenous MITF (HT144 and C32). We examined whole-genome expression profiles in these cells following induction of either wild-type or E318K MITF for 48 hours. Analysis suggests that the MITF E318K mutant exhibits differential transcriptional activity against some, though not all, target genes. Expression profiling by array

The chromatin dynamics of the TFAP2A/ MITF genetic interation in melanocyte development.

Project description:In developing melanocytes and in melanoma cells, multiple paralogs of the Activating-enhancer-binding Protein 2 family of transcription factors (TFAP2) contribute to expression of genes encoding pigmentation regulators, but their interaction with Microphthalmia transcription factor (MITF), a master regulator of these cells, is unclear. Supporting the model that Tfap2 facilitates MITF's ability to activate expression of pigmentation genes, single-cell seq analysis of zebrafish embryos revealed that pigmentation genes are only expressed in the subset of mitfa-expressing cells that also express Tfap2 paralogs. To test this model in SK-MEL-28 melanoma cells we deleted the two TFAP2 paralogs with highest expression, TFAP2A and TFAP2C, creating TFAP2 knockout (TFAP2-KO) cells. We then assessed gene expression, chromatin accessibility, binding of TFAP2A and of MITF, and the chromatin marks H3K27Ac and H3K27Me3 which are characteristic of active enhancers and silenced chromatin, respectively. Integrated analyses of these datasets indicate TFAP2 paralogs directly activate enhancers near genes enriched for roles in pigmentation and proliferation, and directly repress enhancers near genes enriched for roles in cell adhesion. Consistently, compared to WT cells, TFAP2-KO cells proliferate less and adhere to one another more. TFAP2 paralogs and MITF co-operatively activate a subset of enhancers, with the latter necessary for MITF binding and chromatin accessibility. By contrast, TFAP2 paralogs and MITF do not appear to co-operatively inhibit enhancers. These studies reveal a mechanism by which TFAP2 profoundly influences the set of genes activated by MITF, and thereby the phenotype of pigment cells and melanoma cells.
