Project description:Our studies demonstrate that BMI-1 plays a crucial role in the EMT process and drug resistance in melanoma. Silencing Bmi-1 significantly inhibites the aggressive behavior and improves the chemosensitivity to all-trans retinoic acid on melanoma cells. We compared the different genes expression of A375-vector and A375-BMI-1 cells for exploring the underlying mechanisms of BMI-1 regulation on melanoma.
Project description:Identify transcriptionnally and translationally regulated mRNA in melanoma parental and persister cells In this dataset, we include expression data of A375 melanoma drug-naïve parental cells and A375 melanoma persister cells that survived from BRAF and MEK inhibition. The expression data are studied in both total RNA and polysome-bounded RNA.
Project description:Analysis of effect of CD10 in melanoma at gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that CD10 promotes melanoma tumor progression. Results provide important information of the significant gene expression change between CD10-transfected and mock-transfected A375 cells, such as significantly increased genes included those related to anti-apoptosis, angiogenesis and cell proliferation. Total RNA obtained from CD10-transfected A375 melanoma cells was that from compared to mock-transfected A375 cells.
Project description:BRAF-inhibitor (BRAFi)-resistance compromises long term survivorship of malignant melanoma patients, and mutant NRAS is a major mediator of BRAFi-resistance. We have employed NanoString nCounterTM transcriptomic analysis of isogenic human malignant melanoma cells that differ only by NRAS mutational status (BRAFi-sensitive A375-BRAFV600E/NRASQ61 versus BRAFi-resistant A375-BRAFV600E/NRASQ61K), identifying modulation of specific gene expression networks as a function of NRASQ61K-status.
Project description:Affymetrix microarray data were generated from A375 melanoma cells treated in vitro with siRNAs against 45 transcription factors and signalling molecules. 45 functionally important molecules were knocked down in A375 melanoma cells by siRNA. Then the gene expression profiles of these A375 cells, along with untreated cells and sRNA control treated cells were analysed by microarrays.
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.
