Project description:Zebrafish have the ability to regenerate many organs and tissues including the melanocytes which are elements of the skin. RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) is a high-throughput sequencing method facilitating transcript identification and quantification of gene expression in a precise manner. The development of RNA-Seq technologies and their extensive data-analysis methods make an investigation of regulatory genes and functional gene annotations possible under specific conditions. Here, we aim to perform large-scale comparative deep transcriptome profiling of regeneration versus cancer in the following two cellular contexts: The skin melanocytes, which can substantially regenerate in mammals and melanoma which is the type of cancer that begins in the melanocytes.

Project description:To elucidate mechanisms governing McSC self-renewal and differentiation we analyzed individual transcriptomes from thousands of melanocyte lineage cells during the regeneration process. We identified transcriptional signatures for McSCs, deciphered transcriptional changes and intermediate cell states during regeneration, and analyzed cell-cell signaling changes to discover mechanisms governing melanocyte regeneration.

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:The two most common melanoma histopathologic subtypes, superficial spreading (SSM) and nodular melanoma (NM), are believed to represent sequential phases of linear progression from radial to vertical growth. Studies suggest, however, that SSM and NM are biologically distinct. We utilized an integrative genomic approach to examine the possibility that SSM and NM are the result of independent pathways characterized by unique molecular alterations. Cell lines including SSM, NM, metastatic melanoma, and melanocyte controls were evaluated for copy number changes and differential mRNA expression using single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP 6.0, Affymetrix) and gene array (U133A 2.0, Affymetrix). Data sets were integrated to identify copy number alterations that correlated with gene expression, and array results were validated using immunohistochemistry on human tissue microarrays (TMAs) and an external data set. The functional effect of genomic deletion was assessed by lentiviral overexpression. Integrative genomics revealed 8 genes in which NM/SSM-specific copy number alterations were correlated with NM/SSM differential gene expression (P<0.05, Spearman’s rank). Pathways analysis of differentially expressed genes (N=114) showed enrichment for metabolic-related processes. SSM-specific genomic deletions (DIS3, MTAP, G3BP2, SEC23IP, USO1) were verified in an expanded panel of cell lines, and forced overexpression of MTAP in SSM resulted in reduced cell growth. Metabolism-related gene ALDH7A1 was verified as overexpressed in NM using human TMAs.The identification of recurrent genomic deletions in SSM not present in NM challenges the linear model of melanoma progression and supports the unique molecular classification of SSM and NM. Gene expression profiling using Affymetrix U133A 2.0 arrays was performed on 18 melanoma cell lines including 2 primary superficial spreading melanoma, 2 primary nodular melanoma, 2 metastatic nodular melanoma, and 12 metastatic cell lines. Four melanocyte control lines were also evaluated including 2 immortalized melanocyte cell lines (Hermes 1 and 2B) and 2 normal melanocyte lines cultured from neonatal foreskin (HEM-N and HEM-LP).

Project description:Ischemic cardiopathy is the leading cause of death in the world, for which efficient regenerative therapy is not currently available. In mammals, after a myocardial infarction episode, the damaged myocardium is replaced by scar tissue featuring collagen deposition and tissue remodelling with negligible cardiomyocyte proliferation. Zebrafish, in contrast, display an extensive regenerative capacity as they are able to restore completely lost cardiac tissue after partial ventricular amputation. Due to the lack of genetic lineage tracing evidence, it is not yet clear if new cardiomyocytes arise from existing contractile cells or from an uncharacterised set of progenitors cells. Nonetheless, several genes and molecules have been shown to participate in this process, some of them being cardiomyocyte mitogens in vitro. Though questions as what are the early signals that drive the regenerative response and what is the relative role of each cardiac cell in this process still need to be answered, the zebrafish is emerging as a very valuable tool to understand heart regeneration and devise strategies that may be of potential value to treat human cardiac disease. Here, we performed a genome-wide transcriptome profile analysis focusing on the early time points of zebrafish heart regeneration and compared our results with those of previously published data. Our analyses confirmed the differential expression of several transcripts, and identified additional genes the expression of which is differentially regulated during zebrafish heart regeneration. We validated the microarray data by conventional and/or quantitative RT-PCR. For a subset of these genes, their expression pattern was analyzed by in situ hybridization and shown to be upregulated in the regenerating area of the heart. The specific role of these new transcripts during zebrafish heart regeneration was further investigated ex vivo using primary cultures of zebrafish cardiomyocytes and/or epicardial cells. Our results offer new insights into the biology of heart regeneration in the zebrafish and, together with future experiments in mammals, may be of potential interest for clinical applications. In order to study zebrafish heart regeneration, a time course experiment was realized where amputated heart regenerating were compared to control heart. Samples in triplicate were extracted at 1, 3, 5 and 7 days post-amputation.

Project description:Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary malignancy of the eye in adults, but lacks any FDA-approved therapy for the deadly metastatic disease. Thus, there is great need to dissect the driving mechanisms for UM, and develop strategies to evaluate potential therapeutics. Using a zebrafish model, we previously identified MITF, the master melanocyte transcription factor, as a tumor suppressor in GNAQQ209L-driven UM. Here, we show that zebrafish mitfa-deficient GNAQQ209L-driven tumors significantly up-regulate neural crest markers, and higher expression of a melanoma-associated neural crest signature correlates with poor UM patient survival. We further determined how the mitfa-null state, as well as expression of GNAQQ209L, YAPS127A;S381A, or BRAFV600E oncogenes, impacts melanocyte lineage cells before they acquire the transformed state. Specifically, examination 5 days post-fertilization showed that mitfa-deficiency is sufficient to upregulate pigment progenitor and neural crest markers, while GNAQQ209L expression promotes a proliferative phenotype that is further enhanced by YAPS127A;S381A co-expression. Finally, we show that this oncogene-induced proliferative phenotype can be used to screen chemical inhibitors for their efficacy against the UM pathway. Overall, this study establishes that a neural crest signature correlates with poor UM survival, and describes an in vivo assay for pre-clinical trials of potential UM therapeutics.
