Project description:Human melanoma cell line A375 and A2058 were incubated with DMSO (control group) or Vemurafenib (1 μM in DMSO) for 72 hours. Total RNA was isolated with Qiagen RNA isolation kit; 1.5 μg of total RNA was used as template for cDNA synthesis.
Project description:We treated for 24 hours the BRAF-V600E melanoma cell line A375 with 7 doses of the RAF inhibitor Vemurafenib and, in a second experimental desing, we treated for 24 hours the BRAF-V600E melanoma cell line A375 with Vemurafenib (1 uM) alone or in combination with the MEK inhibitor Cobimetinib (1 uM) and subsequently stimulated with EGF in a time-course of 7 time points for up to 8 hours (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 hours).
Project description:Vemurafenib is a BRAF inhibitor with specificity for the most common BRAF mutant encountered in melanomas (BRAFV600E). Vemurafenib suppresses the proliferation of BRAF mutant human melanoma cells by suppressing downstream activation of the MEK/ERK mitogen activated protein kinases. We used microarrays to examine the transcriptional response of a vemurafenib-sensitive BRAFV600E human melanoma cell line (A375) to vemurafenib in order to further delineate the mechanisms by which BRAFV600E drives cell proliferation and energy metabolism in human melanoma. BRAFV600E A375 human melanoma cells were treated with vehicle (0.1% DMSO) or 10 uM vemurafenib for 24 h after which total RNA was extracted. Cells were prepared and RNA was extracted in 3 separate batches (three different cell stocks on three separate days) providing three independent replicates (n=3). Paired replicates (prepared from the same stock of cells on the same day) are denoted by A, B and C.
Project description:To explore the characteristics of senescent melanoma cells induced by vemurafenib or cisplatin, melanoma A375 cells were treated with vemurafenib and cisplatin, respectively. The senescent phenotypes were verified by β-gal staining, EdU assay, cell morphology and the senescence-related pathways. RNA-seq was performed to explore the differentially expressed genes in the senescent cells induced by vemurafenib or cisplatin.
Project description:We investigated the miRNAome in human melanocyte and melanoma cell lines using high-throughput RNA sequencing. We identified a group of dysregulated miRNAs by comparing the miRNA expression profiles among melanoma cell lines. Target genes of these miRNAs participate in functions associated with the cell cycle and apoptosis. Gene networks were built to investigate the interactions of genes during melanoma progression. We identified that the key genes that regulate melanoma cell proliferation were regulated by miRNAs. Our findings provide further knowledge regarding the mechanisms of melanoma development. miRNA profiles of melanocyte (HEMn-LP), low metastatic melanoma (A375) and high metastatic melanoma (A2058) cell line were generated using Illumina GA

Project description:Using our computational method SynGeNet to evaluate genomic and transcriptomic data characterizing four major genomic subtypes of melanoma, we selected the top ranked drug combination for BRAF-mutation melanoma for subsequent validaiton. Here we present drug-induced gene expression data from the BRAF-mutant A375 melanoma cell line in response to four treatment conditions: vehicle control (DMSO), vemurafenib alone, tretinoin (ATRA) alone and vemurafenib+tretinoin combination.
Project description:Three cell lines were derived from the A375 human melanoma (harbouring the BRAF v600e mutation; ATCC) after treatment with vemurafenib during a period of 4-5 weeks in the absence (MAPKi-resist Rep1/Rep2) or presence of the fatty acid oxidation inhibitors etomoxir (Etomoxir Rep1/Rep2) or ranolazine (Ranolazine Rep1/Rep2).
