ABSTRACT
Melanoma is a type of tumor skin with high metastatic potential. Reconstructed human skin, development for pre-clinic assay, are make using primary human cells, but with same limitations. The aim this study was to characterize a cell culture model, with structure similar to human skin containing melanoma cells entirely from cell lines. Reconstructed skin with melanoma were development using human fibroblasts (MRC5), human epidermal keratinocytes (HaCat), and human melanoma (SK-MEL-28) embedded in collagen type I. The structure was characterized by hematoxylin-eosin stained, as well as points of melanoma cell invasion, which was associated with activity of MMPs (MMP-2 and MMP-9) by zymographic method. Then, the gene expression of the target molecular mechanisms involved in melanoma progression were evaluated. Here, the model development showed a region epidermis organized and separated from the dermis, with fibroblast cells confined and melanoma cells form delimited area invasion. MMP-2 and MMP-9 were identified during of cell culture and gene expression of BRAF, NRAS, and Vimentin was confirmed. The proposed model provides one more opportunity to study in vitro tumor biology of melanoma and also to allows the study of new drugs with more reliable results then whats we would find in vivo.
