Project description:This study utilises multiomic profiling of early-passage melanoma cell lines to explore the interactions between distinct modalities of molecular regulation influencing melanoma cellular phenotype.
Project description:RNAseq and Small-RNAseq dataset to comprehensively study the miRNA expression profiling of drug-resistant melanoma patients and cell lines
Project description:To investigate mechanisms of resistance to BRAF inhibitor therapy in melanoma, BRAF mutant cell lines have been chronically exposed to BRAFi to create phenotypes with acquired drug resistance. Activity-based protein profiling with desthiobiotinylating ATP probes (ActivX, Thermo) is used to examine the differences between naive and drug-resistant cells.
Project description:Melanoma cell lines were established and used for methylome profiling with Illumina HM450 beadchip. The molecular alterations in selected invasive melanoma cell populations were compared to those in the original cell lines by performing DNA methylation (Illumina HM450K) assays
Project description:Melanoma is a very aggressive type of skin cancer, which renders it difficult to treat because of extensive heterogeneity frequently observed in melanoma tumours. Here we hypothesized that gene expression and DNA methylation differences would correlate with invasiveness in melanoma cells. To address this question, we carried out genome-wide transcriptome and methylome investigations in non-invasive and invasive groups of melanoma cell lines.
Project description:n this project we have sequenced the transcriptome of several comonly used mouse melanoma cell lines. Our aim is to understand what mutations and rearrangements are found in these cell lines to gain a better understanding of the genes that contribute to melanomagenesis. As these cell lines are used as models of melanoma these sequences represent an important resource for functional studies. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

Project description:Epigenetic regulation of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) has been shown to play a central role in melanomagenesis. Integrating gene expression and methylation array analysis we identified novel candidate TSGs frequently methylated in melanoma. We validated the methylation status of the most promising TSGs using the highly sensitive, specific and comprehensive Sequenom Epityper assay in a large panel of melanoma cell lines and resected melanomas, and compared the findings with that from cultured melanocytes. We found transcript levels of UCHL1, COL1A2, THBS1 and TNFRSF10D were inversely correlated with promoter methylation. The effect of this methylation on expression was confirmed at the protein level. Identification of these candidate TSGs and how their silencing is related to melanoma development will increase our understanding of the etiology of this cancer and may provide tools for its early diagnosis. Analysed samples consisted of 11 melanoma cell lines and 1 neonatal foreskin melanocyte pool as a reference. Melanoma cell lines overlap with members of the DNA copy number analysis series GSE9003 and expression profiling series GSE7127 . The matching copy number data GEO samples IDs are noted in characteristics: Matching CN Sample ID and characteristics: Matching expn Sample ID columns respectively.
