Project description:Melanoma is the leading cause of skin cancer-related deaths, and current melanoma therapies, including targeted therapies and immunotherapies, benefit only a subset of metastatic melanoma patients due to either intrinsic or acquired resistance. LIM domain kinase 2 (LIMK2) is a serine/threonine kinase that plays an important role in the regulation of actin filament dynamics. Here, we show that LIMK2 is overexpressed in melanoma, and its genetic or pharmacological inhibition impairs melanoma tumor growth and metastasis in both cell culture and mice. To determine the mechanism by which LIMK2 promotes melanoma tumor growth and metastatic progression, we performed a phosphoproteomics analysis and identified G3BP1 as a key LIMK2 target, which mirrored the effects of LIMK2 inhibition when inhibited. To further determine the role of G3BP1 downstream of LIMK2, we knocked down the expression of G3BP1, performed RNA-seq analysis, and identified ESM1 as a downstream target of G3BP1. G3BP1 was required for ESM1 mRNA stability, and ESM1 ectopic expression rescued LIMK2 or G3BP1 inhibition-induced suppression of melanoma growth and metastatic attributes. These results collectively identify the LIMK2→G3BP1→ESM1 pathway as a facilitator of melanoma tumor growth and metastasis and document that LIMK2 is a therapeutically tractable target for melanoma therapy.

Project description:RNA binding proteins (RBPs) play a critical role in tumor progression by participating in the post-transcriptional regulation of RNA. However, the expression and function of RBPs in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remain elusive. This study identified 5 RBPs (RAN, EZH2, RDM1, HRSP12, and ALYREF) that were up-regulated in NPC and could promote NPC cells migration or proliferation. RAN was first investigated because of its most significant effect on NPC cells. Functionally, RAN facilitated NPC proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro and in vivo. High expression of RAN was associated with poor prognosis of NPC patients and could be performed as a prognostic biomarker. Mechanistically, RAN mediated the nucleus import of TDP43 and enhanced TDP43 nuclear distribution. On the other hand, RAN was directly bound to the coding sequence of G3BP1 mRNA and served as an adapter to facilitate TDP43 interacting with G3BP1 mRNA 3’untranslated region. Thereby increased G3BP1 mRNA stability in the nucleus and led to up-regulation of G3BP1, which further enhanced ATK/ERK phosphorylation and ultimately promoted NPC proliferation and metastasis.

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA) expression profiling identified miR-638 as one of the most significantly overexpressed miRNAs in metastatic lesions compared with primary melanomas. miR-638 enhanced the tumourigenic properties of melanoma cells in vitro and lung colonization in vivo. mRNA expression profiling of miR-638 and antagomir-transduced cells identified new candidate genes as miR-638 targets, the majority of which is involved in p53-mediated apoptosis regulation. miR-638 depletion stimulated expression of p53 and its downstream target genes and induced apoptosis and autophagy in melanoma cells. miR-638 promoter analysis revealed transcription factor associated protein 2-M-NM-1 (TFAP2A) as a direct negative regulator of miR-638. Further analyses provided strong evidence for a double negative regulatory feedback loop between miR-638 and TFAP2A. Taken together, miR-638 may support melanoma progression by suppressing p53-mediated apoptosis pathways and by targeting the transcriptional repressor TFAP2A. TaqManM-BM-. low-density arrays (TLDA; human microRNA Cards A v2.1 & B v2.0, Applied Biosystems, Darmstadt, Germany) were used for measuring the expression of 667 human miRNAs in primary melanomas (PM, n=8), lymph node metastases (LNM, n=9) or distant cutaneous metastases (DCM, n=10).

Whole genome cDNA microarray (Illumina Human HT-12 v4 Expression BeadChip Kit, San Diego, CA 92122 USA) analyses were performed in duplicates using RNA extracted from SK-Mel-147 cells transfected with a non-targeting control, miR-638 or antagomiR-638.

Project description:Application of a melanoma experimental metastasis model to elucidate molecular mediators of melanoma brain metastasis. Malignant melanoma frequently metastasizes to the brain. The molecular mediators of brain metastasis still remains largely unknnown. Two melanoma cell lines (opposing phenotypes in vitro: invasive/proliferative) were injected (L.V) into immune-compromised animals to generate organ-specific in vivo metastatic tumor cells and host tissue. Immunomagnetic separation was applied to separate tumor cells from host stroma. A rat model was applied to generate organ-specific profiles. Subsequently, a mouse model was applied to generate in vivo brain metastatic samples to follow altered gene expression in melanoma colonizing the brain over time. Gene expression data was collected from human and animal host-specific arrays.
