RNAseq of low-pigmented and high-pigmented cells from LM-MEL-28 human melanoma cell line.

GSE190252 Homo sapiens Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing 6 samples Submitted 2025/12/31 Platform GPL18573
Summary
Functional variation due to underlying genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity poses a major challenge to long-term melanoma management. Melanin pigment production is the hallmark of normal melanocytic differentiation but varies significantly between and within melanoma tumours. Detailed assessment of the functional consequences of pigment heterogeneity in viable melanoma samples has been experimentally challenging. Here, we developed a novel method to prospectively separate melanoma cell populations based on the presence of intracellular melanin using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). We find that nearly all pigmented patient melanomas and melanoma cell lines comprise mixtures of cells ranging from very high to low or undetectable pigment content. Using viable sorted cells, we interrogated the functional characteristics of low pigmented cells (LPC) and high pigmented cells (HPC) in the LM-MEL-28 patient-derived melanoma cell line.
