Project description:Metastatic melanoma is the most aggressive skin cancer and associated with a poor prognosis. Targeted therapy is one of the most important treatments for patients with BRAFV600E-mutated advanced melanoma. However, the development of resistance to this treatment compromises its therapeutic success. Increasing evidence has indicated that NC-associated genes play important roles in tumor progress and drug resistance. Our previous study showed that FOXD1 is a neural crest (NC)-associated gene that has high expression levels both in NC cells and melanoma and that it could regulate melanoma migration and invasion. Here, we found that the FOXD1-CTGF axis is important for melanoma resistance. The connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) was identified as a direct downstream factor of FOXD1 using microarray assay. In detail, when we compared the microarray data from FOXD1 OE and control groups, we found that the expression level of CTGF was also higher in FOXD1 OE cells (FC=1.97).

Project description:BRAF targeted drug vemurafenib have shown very good clinical benefit in melanoma patient containing BRAF V600E mutation. However, resistance always occurs in patient. Early stage of the resistance development require the tumor cell adapted to the targeted drug. We are trying to study the kinetic of melanoma cell adaptation towards vemurafenib. 10 melanoma cell lines with BRAF mutation are treated with targeted therapy vemurafenib. RNA-seq samples are collected after drug treatment for different time (day3 and day21) to compare with DMSO-treated control samples for each cell line. Except innate resistant cell line M381, all other cell lines shows inhibition of proliferation. However, a small cluster of cell lines (M397, M229 and M263) shows some other unique transcriptomic change. For cell line M397, M229 and M263, we also collected the RNA-seq data for long-term (73day/90day) drug treatment condition where the cells developed resistance to vemurafenib treatment. Dedifferentiation is enriched in these unique transcriptomic change within these 3 cell lines. Similar cell state dedifferentiation phenomenon is also reported to cause resistance towards immunotherpay where the resistant de-differentiated melanoma cells are induced by TNF which is secreted by tumor-infiltrating T cells. We also treat our cultured melanoma cells with TNF and collected the treated sample for RNA-seq experiment.

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: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.

Project description:Recent studies suggest that malignant melanoma heterogeneity includes subpopulations of cells with features of multipotent neural crest (NC) cells. Zebrafish and mouse models have shown that reactivation of neural crest-specific pathways determines the invasiveness of melanoma cells. In this study, we show that the neural crest-associated transcription factor FOXD1 plays a key role in invasion and migration capacity of metastatic melanomas both in vivo and in vitro. Gene expression profiling analysis identified on one hand, an upregulation of FOXD1 in NC and melanoma cells, and on the other hand, a downregulation of several genes related to cell invasion in FOXD1 knockdown cells, including MMP9 and RAC1B. Furthermore, we demonstrate that knockdown of RAC1B a tumor-specific isoform of RAC1, significantly impaired cell migration and invasion in melanoma and could abrogate enhanced invasiveness induced by FOXD1 overexpression. We conclude that FOXD1 may influence invasion and migration via indirect regulation of MMP9 and RAC1B alternative splicing in melanoma cells.

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:It remains unclear how the ectopic expression of defined transcription factors induces dynamic changes in gene expression profiles that establish a pluripotent state during direct cell reprogramming. In the present study, we first identified a temporal gene expression program during the reprogramming process. Promoter analyses then predicted the role of two forkhead box transcription factors, Foxd1 and Foxo1, as mediators of the gene expression program. Knockdown of Foxd1 or Foxo1 reduced the number of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). The knockout of Foxd1 prevented the downstream transcription program, including the expression of reprogramming marker genes. Interestingly, the expression level of Foxd1 was also transiently increased in a small population of cells in the middle stage of reprogramming. The presence or absence of Foxd1 expression in this stage was correlated with a future cell fate as iPSCs or non-reprogrammed cells. These results suggest that Foxd1 is a mediator and indicator of the successful progression of the gene expression program in cell reprogramming. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) of Foxd1+/+, Foxd1+/- or Foxd1-/- were infected with retroviruses encoding the three transcription factors (Oct4, Sox2 and Klf4) at day 0 and sampled at day 8.

Project description:The BRAFV600E mutant melanoma cell line M14 responds to the BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib, however, the differences in response between individual cells are underlying resistance. To highlight the underlying mechanisms, we performed treatment of M14 cells with vemurafenib, followed by Drop-seq. We were able to clearly distinguish cells that were treated with the drug from untreated cells, and we discovered different cell populations within the treated cells, likely reflecting heterogeneity of drug resistant cells. We were able to identify specific biomarkers, as preferentially expressed genes, for each cell population. The results of our study will address preexisting and acquired drug resistance that limits clinical usefulness of targeted strategies.

Project description:The combination of JQ1 and Vemurafenib acted synergistically in BRAF-mutant cell lines, resulting in marked apoptosis in vitro, with up-regulation of pro-apoptotic proteins. In vivo, combination treatment suppressed tumor growth and significantly improved survival compared to either drug alone. RNA sequencing of tumor tissues revealed almost four thousand genes that were uniquely modulated by the combination, with several anti-apoptotic genes significantly down-regulated.
