Paper
ALDH1A3-acetaldehyde metabolism potentiates transcriptional heterogeneity in melanomaCell reports · 2024
Summary (written by the submitters)
Cancer progression and therapy resistance arise from metabolic and transcriptional adaptations, but how these are interconnected is less well understood. We propose that in melanoma, the pan-cancer stem cell marker aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A3 (ALDH1A3) couples TFAP2B-neural crest stem cell gene transcription with a distinct acetyl-histone H3 landscape via its substrate acetaldehyde.
Read the full summary ↓
Mechanistically, nuclear acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2) colocalises with ALDH1A3 to bind glucose metabolic and neural crest stem cell gene loci and promote local acetyl-histone H3 modification dependent on ALDH1A3. Consistent with clinical observations that dedifferentiation into stem cell states confer poor prognosis in melanoma patients and mediate drug resistance, we found in a zebrafish melanoma model that targeting the ALDH1A3-high subpopulation with an ALDH1 suicide inhibitor delayed BRAF inhibitor drug-resistant relapse. Our work identifies ALDH1A3 as a master coordinator of acetaldehyde metabolites that directly regulates chromatin-based gene regulation, and which can be pharmacologically targeted to improve therapeutic outcomes.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE243834_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: Look for peak files (.bed, .narrowPeak) and signal tracks (.bigWig) among the supplementary files; the raw reads are on ENA.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1020130 and SRA study SRP462682. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a between-group comparison across 20 samples.

How we read this: 10 replicated groups read from 20 sample titles; they account for 20 of them. These groups are guessed from the sample names, not taken from the paper, so check them against the sample list below before relying on them.
