A Ludwig Cancer Research study led by Benoit Van den Eynde, Director of Ludwig Brussels, has identified a novel mechanism by which tumors of the aggressive skin cancer melanoma can resist cancer immunotherapy.
The work published in Cancer Cell complements previous research efforts from the CNIO Melanoma Group, which could lead to the development of novel drugs that selectively target the mechanism of cell autodigestion as a potential therapeutic strategy.
The new research, which studied the immortalization process using genome - engineered cells in culture and also tracked skin cells as they progressed from a mole into a malignant melanoma, suggests that telomerase plays a more complex role in cancer.
Research from Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey shows that the RUNX2 protein, which regulates the transcription of genetic messages responsible for the different functions of cells, may play a role in melanoma cell growth and spread and could serve as a therapeutic target for the disease.
«We have found that the individual cells within melanoma tumors are not all identical, and tumors contain a sub-population of cells that are inherently drug resistant, which accounts for the fact that advanced melanoma tumors return no matter how much the tumor is depleted,» said Meenhard Herlyn, D.V.M., D.Sc., professor and director of Wistar's Melanoma Researchmelanoma tumors are not all identical, and tumors contain a sub-population of cells that are inherently drug resistant, which accounts for the fact that advanced melanoma tumors return no matter how much the tumor is depleted,» said Meenhard Herlyn, D.V.M., D.Sc., professor and director of Wistar's Melanoma Researchmelanoma tumors return no matter how much the tumor is depleted,» said Meenhard Herlyn, D.V.M., D.Sc., professor and director of Wistar's Melanoma ResearchMelanoma Research Center.
«We need to confirm this synergistic activity of vemurafenib and cediranib across a broader range of melanoma models, investigate why the particular combination is effective, and find biomarkers that predict which patients with BRAF - mutant melanoma should receive this combination,» says Friedman, who is a research fellow in Dermatology at Harvard Medical School.
Dr Andreas Behren, who led the ONJCRI research team, said that although extremely rare, it couldn't be predicted which melanoma patients might develop other cancers as a result of their treatment.

Between 2005 and 2011 GenoMEL was funded under the EU's Sixth Framework Programme (FP6) to the tune of $ 10.45 million, however in recent years GenoMEL has continued to evolve, giving rise to BioGenoMEL (a daughter consortium focusing on understanding the genetics of survival from melanoma) and most recently the MELGEN consortium which itself is funded by a $ 4.8 million grant through the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 641458.
The second session focused on melanoma susceptibility genes featuring the research of ESR03, Marina Juraleviciute, on MX2, a gene identified as a melanoma suscepitlity gene by the GWAS consortium; and ESR01, Aravind Sankar, who discussed the finctional effect of gene mutations which contribute to melanoma development.
GenoMEL research carried out to identify new inherited genes which increase the risk of melanoma
The international melanoma genetics consortium GenoMEL (www.genomel.org) has carried out research to identify inherited genetic variation which increases risk of melanoma, and on their website there are summaries of the results of that research.
The research published by GenoMEL has identified inherited genes which increase melanoma risk which are pigment genes (affecting skin colour and vulnerability to sunburn), genes which are associated with having more moles (melanocytic naevi) and others associated with a part of the genetic makeup of the cell called the telomere.
