The paired box homeotic gene 3 (PAX3) is a crucial regulator for the maintenance of melanocytic progenitor cells and has a poorly defined role in melanoma. To understand how PAX3 affects melanocyte and melanoma proliferation, we identified potential PAX3 downstream targets through gene expression profiling. Here, we identify T‐box 2 (TBX2), a key developmental regulator of cell identity and an antisenescence factor in melanoma, as a directly regulated PAX3 target. We also found that TBX2 is involved in the survival of melanoma cells and is overexpressed in some melanoma specimens. The identification of TBX2 as a target for PAX3 provides a key insight into how PAX3 may contribute to melanoma evolution and may provide opportunities for prosenescence therapeutic intervention aimed at disrupting the ability of PAX3 to regulate TBX2. 相似文献

The essential trace element zinc is involved in multiple biological processes including development and metabolism, while its role in melanocyte formation is still unclear. Slc30a1a and Slc30a1b are zinc exporters in zebrafish. Here, we found that melanocytes were increased in slc30a1a and slc30a1b double mutant zebrafish. SMART-seq data revealed that genes involved in the melanoma pathway and the gene mt2, which encodes zinc-binding protein, were significantly upregulated in the mutants. In addition, the expression of mt2 was specifically increased in mutant melanocytes, as detected by in situ hybridization, suggesting an essential role of this gene in the tissue. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that elevated zinc levels resulting from Slc30a1 deficiency promoted melanocyte proliferation and that mt2 played a protective role in the process of Slc30a1/zinc-mediated melanocyte hyperplasia. This study uncovered the critical function of Slc30a1-mediated zinc homeostasis in melanocyte development and suggests that accumulated zinc in melanocytes would be a risk for inducing melanoma and that mt2 is a potential target for controlling diseases related to abnormal melanocyte development. 相似文献

The network of molecular players is similar when comparing neural crest‐derived, actively migrating melanoblasts to melanoma cells. However, melanoblasts are sensitive to differentiation‐initiating signals at their target site (epidermis), while melanoma cells maintain migratory and undifferentiated features. We aimed at identifying downregulated genes in melanoma that are particularly upregulated in melanoblasts. Loss of such genes could contribute to stabilization of a dedifferentiated, malignant phenotype in melanoma. We determined that microRNA‐622 (miR‐622) expression was strongly downregulated in melanoma cells and tissues compared to melanocytes and melanoblast‐related cells. miR‐622 expression correlated with survival of patients with melanoma. miR‐622 re‐expression inhibited clonogenicity, proliferation, and migration in melanoma. Inhibition of miR‐622 in melanocytes induced enhanced migration. Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) was identified as a major functional target of miR‐622 in melanoma. We conclude that miR‐622 is a novel tumor suppressor in melanoma and identify the miR‐622‐KRAS axis as potential therapeutic target. 相似文献
