Heat-shock proteins produced by two human melanoma cell lines: absence of correlation with thermosensitivity. 1984

U Ferrini, and R Falcioni, and A Delpino, and R Cavaliere, and G Zupi, and P G Natali

Two human melanoma cell lines, extremely different in their thermal sensitivity, were pulse-labelled with (35S)-methionine after 60 min of exposure at 42 degrees C. For both cell lines, fractionation of the intrinsically labelled proteins by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) showed increased labelling of a polypeptide band of Mr 72,000, along with a slight reduction of overall protein synthesis. By two-dimensional electrophoresis, the Mr 72,000 band resolved into multiple pattern components of the same size but differing in isoelectric points. The absence of qualitative and quantitative differences between the two melanoma cell lines indicates that the different thermal sensitivities are unrelated to their ability to express the heat-shock proteins.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.
