Melanoma is one of the most prevalent human cancers, affecting 1 out of every 50 individuals in their lifetime.1 The BRafV600E mutation, which occurs in nearly 50% in human melanomas, constitutively activates pERK, a component of the MAP kinase signaling pathway, and contributes to disease progression.2 Although human melanoma cell lines harboring the BRafV600E mutation are well-established, the reliance on xenografts in immunocompromised mice limits studies of host-tumor cell interactions in a syngeneic background.2
The D4M-3A cell line is a melanoma cell line from the conditional mouse model of metastatic melanoma: Tyr::CreER, BrafCA;Ptenlox/lox, which recapitulates human disease. Cultured D4M-3A cells express high constitutive pERK and respond to the BRafV600E inhibitor, Vemurafenib (PLX4032).2 D4M-3A cells lack melanin expression but maintain ability to express melanocyte differentiation antigens, which are important immune recognition factors. D4M-3A cells are transplantable in either immune-compromised or syngeneic B6 mice and show correlation of in vitro studies on molecular mechanisms of melanoma with in vivo investigations on pathology and immunology. The D4M-3A cell line is a clinically relevant model for both in vitro and in vivo studies of metastatic melanoma.
