Background

Selenoproteins are selenocysteine (Sec)-containing proteins that exhibit numerous physiological functions, mainly antioxidative activities. Studies have suggested that several human selenoproteins play an important role in tumor initiation and progression, including melanoma.

Methods

Using RNA-seq data set from Sequence Reads Archive (SRA) experiments published at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), we determined and compared the transcriptional levels of the 25 selenoproteins-coding sequences found in 16 human-derived melanoma cell lines and compared to four melanocyte controls.

Results

15 selenoprotein-coding genes were found to be expressed in melanoma and normal melanocyte cells, and their mRNA levels varied among the cell lines. All melanoma cells analyzed with BRAF or NRAS mutations presented upregulated levels of SELENOI, TXNRD1, and SELENOT transcripts and downregulated levels of SELENOW and SELENON transcripts in comparison with melanocytes controls. Moreover, SELENOW, SELENON, SELENOI, TXNRD1, and SELENOT-coding transcripts were affected when BRAF-mutated A375 cells were treated with CPI203, A771726 or Vorinostat drugs.

Conclusion

Our results indicate that melanoma cells can modify, in a different manner, the selenoprotein transcript levels, as a possible mechanism to control tumor progression. We suggest that the usage of diet and supplements containing selenium should be carefully used for patients with melanoma."xsd:string
