Melanoma, a melanocyte origin neoplasm, is the most lethal type of skin cancer, and incidence is increasing. Several familial and somatic mutations have been identified in the gene encoding the melanocyte lineage master regulator,MITF; however, the neoplastic mechanisms of these mutantMITFvariants are mostly unknown. Here, by performing unbiased analysis of the transcriptomes in cells expressing mutantMITF, we identified calcium-binding protein S100A4 as a downstream target of MITF-E87R. By using wild-type and mutantMITFmelanoma lines, we found that both endogenous wild-type and MITF-E87R variants occupy theS100A4promoter. Remarkably, whereas wild-type MITF repressesS100A4expression, MITF-E87R activates its transcription. The opposite effects of wild-type and mutant MITF result in opposing cellular phenotypes, because MITF-E87R via S100A4 enhanced invasion and reduced adhesion in contrast to wild-type MITF activity. Finally, we found that melanoma patients with alteredS100A4expression have poor prognosis. These data show that a change in MITF transcriptional activity from repression to activation ofS100A4that results from a point mutation inMITFalters melanoma invasive ability. These data suggest new opportunities for diagnosis and treatment of metastatic melanoma.
