项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Familial melanomas comprise 10% of all melanomas. A characteristic feature of melanomas is their strikingly complex genomic profiles, highlighted by genomic rearrangements and chromosome structural aberrations. However, mechanisms responsible for the chromosomal alterations that potentially drive tumorigenesis remain unclear. We postulate that melanomas with mutations disrupting the function of the Protection of Telomere 1 (POT1) protein depend upon the alternative, Lig4-independent NHEJ (A-NHEJ) pathway for DNA repair. We will use mouse models and human tumor samples to understand how progressive telomere dysfunction and activation of the A-NHEJ pathway generate pro-oncogenic chromosomal aberrations and the stepwise accumulation of mutational changes in favor of melanoma initiation and progression.

描述（由申请人提供）：家族性黑色素瘤占所有黑色素瘤的 10%，其显着复杂的基因组特征是基因组重排和染色体结构畸变。然而，导致潜在驱动肿瘤发生的染色体改变的机制仍然存在。我们推测，具有破坏端粒保护 1 (POT1) 蛋白功能的突变的黑色素瘤依赖于另一种选择：用于 DNA 修复的不依赖于 Lig4 的 NHEJ (A-NHEJ) 途径我们将使用小鼠模型和人类肿瘤样本来了解进行性端粒功能障碍和 A-NHEJ 途径的激活如何产生促癌染色体畸变和突变变化的逐步积累。有利于黑色素瘤的发生和进展。
