ABSTRACT

Regardless of the clinical response and improved patient survival observed following treatment with BRAFi like Vemurafenib (Vem), rapid development of resistance still remains as a major obstacle in melanoma therapy. In this context, we developed and characterized two acquired Vem-resistant melanoma cell lines, A375V and SK-MEL-28V, and an intrinsically Vem-resistant cell line, RPMI-7951. Altered morphology and growth rate of the resistant cell lines displayed spindle-shaped cells with filopodia formation and enhanced proliferation rate as compared to parental cells. Further in vitro characterization in 2D models confirmed the emergence of a resistant phenotype in melanoma cells. To mimic the in vivo tumor microenvironment, spheroids were developed for both parental and resistant cell lines to recognize materialization of invadopodia structures demonstrating elevated invasiveness and proliferation of resistant cells-based spheroids, especially A375V. Importantly, we validated A375V cell line in vivo to prove its tumorigenicity and drug resistance in tumor xenograft model. Taken together, our established clinically relevant Vem-resistant tumor model could be beneficial to elucidate drug resistance mechanisms, screen and identify novel anticancer therapies to overcome BRAFi resistance in melanoma.
