Abstract

Macrophages (MΦs) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are implicated in carcinogenesis. The oxidative stress sensor, transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), activated by ROS, ap-pears to contribute to lung and breast cancer progression. Although TRPA1 expression has been reported in melanoma cell lines, and oxidative stress has been associated with melanocytic trans-formation, their role in melanoma remains poorly known. Here, we localized MΦs, the final end-product of oxidative stress, 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), and TRPA1 in tissue samples of human common dermal melanocytic nevi, dysplastic nevi, and thin (pT1) and thick (pT4) cutaneous mela-nomas. The number (amount) of intratumoral and peritumoral M2 MΦs and 4-HNE staining pro-gressively increased with tumor severity, while TRPA1 expression was similar in all samples. Hy-drogen peroxide (H2O2) evoked a TRPA1-dependent calcium response in two distinct melanoma cell lines (SK-MEL-28 and WM266-4). Furthermore, H2O2 induced a TRPA1-dependent H2O2 release that was prevented by the TRPA1 antagonist, A967079, or Trpa1 gene silencing (siRNA). ROS release from infiltrating M2 MΦs may target TRPA1-expressing melanoma cells to amplify the oxidative stress signal that affects tumor cell survival and proliferation.
