Tumor metastasis, responsible for approximately 90% of cancer-associated mortality, remains poorly understood. Here in this study, we employed a melanoma lung metastasis model to screen for metastasis-related genes. By sequential tail vein injection of mouse melanoma B16F10 cells and the subsequently derived cells from lung metastasis into BALB/c mice, we successfully obtained highly metastatic B16F15 cells after five rounds of screening. RNA-sequencing analysis of B16F15 and B16F10 cells revealed a number of differentially expressed genes, some of these genes have previously been associated with tumor metastasis while others are novel discoveries. The identification of these metastasis-related genes not only improves our understanding of the metastasis mechanisms, but also provides potential diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for metastatic melanoma.
肿瘤转移导致了约90%的癌症相关死亡,但其机制仍知之甚少。在本研究中,我们采用黑色素瘤肺转移模型来筛选与转移相关的基因。通过将小鼠黑色素瘤B16F10细胞经尾静脉连续注射,并将随后从肺转移灶获得的细胞再注射到BALB/c小鼠体内,经过五轮筛选,我们成功获得了高转移性的B16F15细胞。对B16F15和B16F10细胞进行RNA测序分析,发现了许多差异表达基因,其中一些基因先前已被证实与肿瘤转移相关,而其他一些则是新发现。这些与转移相关基因的鉴定不仅增进了我们对转移机制的理解,也为转移性黑色素瘤提供了潜在的诊断生物标志物和治疗靶点。
