Kravatsky1 Bipolar Action of Inhibitor of Vasculogenic Mimicry on Gene Expression in Melanoma Cells 1Engelhardt Institute of Molecular Biology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, 119991 Russia2Department of Experimental Diagnosis and Therapy of Tumors, N.N. Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology, Ministry of Health of Russia, Moscow, 115478 Russia *tchurikov@eimb.ru Received - 2023-09-01; Revised - 2023-10-17; Accepted - 2023-10-17 Multiple exogenous or endogenous factors alter gene expression patterns by different mechanisms that are poorly understood. We used RNA-Seq analysis in order to study changes in gene expression in melanoma cells that are capable of vasculogenic mimicry that is inhibited upon the action of an inhibitor of vasculogenic mimicry. Here, we show that the drug induces a strong upregulation of 50 genes that control the cell cycle and microtubule cytoskeleton coupled with a strong downregulation of 50 genes that control different cellular metabolic processes. We found that both groups of genes are simultaneously regulated by multiple sets of transcription factors. We conclude that one way for coordinated regulation of large groups of genes is regulation simultaneously by multiple transcription factors. coordinated expression, melanoma, Matrigel, LCS1269 inhibitor, RNA-Seq, transcription factors, ACER2, TCAF2, KIF18A, NAV3, FGF13, NCKAP5 |
