Resumo
Cutaneous melanoma is a type of skin cancer being considered aggressive due to its rapid
evolution, high predisposition to metastasis and the low effectiveness of current treatments in
advanced stages. Poor prognosis results mainly from the intrinsic resistance to chemotherapy with
the ability to confer resistance to multiple drugs (MDR). Among the several mechanisms related to
the MDR phenotype, the best characterized involves expression of the superfamily of ATPdependent ABC transporters, identified as facilitators of drug efflux. In this context, it becomes
important to search for models that make it possible to understand the behavior of the cell and the
tumor microenvironment. Three-dimensional culture models have been proposed by mimicking the
tumor microenvironment through cell-cell and extracellular matrix-cell interaction. Therefore, this
study analyzed the expression profile of the ABCB1, ABCB5 and ABCB8 transporters in human
cutaneous melanoma cells in a three-dimensional culture model through the formation of
spheroids. Cutaneous melanoma cells from the A-375 and SKMEL-37 lineage were cultured in a
monolayer and later were used for spheroid formation using 3 different methods: 1) agarose-coated
plate culture; 2) culture in hanging drop; 3) culture in plate with non-adherent surface. Expression
analysis of the ABCB1, ABCB5 and ABCB8 genes was performed by RT-PCR and visualization
of the amplicons was done by agarose gel electrophoresis. Real-time RT-PCR reactions were
performed for the quantification of the expression of these genes using the CT method. Data
analysis was performed through One Way ANOVA, followed by Tukey post-test (p≤0.05). Our
results demonstrated that the three-dimensional cell culture model in plate with the non-adherent
surface was the most efficient, simple to perform and high efficiency technique for spheroid
formation. Through RT-PCR we observed that the ABCB5 gene was not expressed in the cell lines
studied and this data was confirmed in real time RT-PCR. The ABCB1 and ABCB8 genes were
expressed on the spheroids formed by cells A-375 and SKMEL-37. In these two cell lines we
observed that there is a significant increase in the expression of the ABCB1 and ABCB8 genes at
time 07 in relation to the control. These findings show that the three-dimensional culture model
through spheroid formation provided expression analysis of the ABCB1, ABCB5 and ABCB8
transporters, which are associated with drug resistance activity in human cutaneous melanoma.
