However, it is more common in domestic mammals due to artificial selection. For this reason, domestication could provide valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying the evolution of colour diversity. This raises the question of whether the associations between coat colour and other phenotypes in domestic animals are similar to those in free-living animals. Our literature review of cows, goats and sheep suggests that these associations can differ not only between species but also within and between breeds. This pattern holds for all the traits that we considered: morphology, behaviour, physiology, reproduction, milk production and parasitism. The only consistent association we found in the literature was the attraction of flies towards dark-coloured cows. The relationships between same colour morph, cortisol and thermoregulation varied across environments, suggesting a possible condition-dependent expression of multiple traits. We conclude that artificial selection may lead to a different integration of multiple phenotypes compared to animals living in the wild. Therefore, colour variation may not always serve the same functional roles in domestic animals as it does in wild ones.</p>","PeriodicalId":219,"journal":{"name":"Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research","volume":"38 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/pcmr.70024","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144100415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite effective control of primary tumors, ~50% of UM patients develop metastases, with the liver being the predominant secondary site. BAP1 deficiency, present in ~80% of metastatic UM cases, is strongly associated with increased metastatic risk and poor prognosis. In silico analysis of UM patient samples suggests that reduced BAP1 is linked to enhanced expression of genes involved in fatty acid processing; therefore, we hypothesize that BAP1 deficiency primes UM cells for survival in the hepatic microenvironment by enhancing lipid tolerance and oxidative stress responses. Our findings demonstrate BAP1-mutant UM resist lipotoxicity, whereas BAP1-competent UM exhibit sensitivity due to lipid peroxide accumulation—a hallmark of ferroptotic-like stress, and a response that can be mitigated by ferroptosis inhibition. Using an ex vivo liver slice model, we found that disrupting lipid metabolism with atorvastatin, an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, reduced tumor burden of BAP1-mutant UM. Moreover, we demonstrate a positive correlation between BAP1 and an epigenetic regulator of lipid homeostasis, ASXL2. Notably, ASXL2 depletion in BAP1-competent UM phenocopies the lipotoxicity resistance observed in BAP1-mutant UM—an effect that may be mediated by altered PPAR expression. This study reveals a novel mechanism linking BAP1 expression to lipid sensitivity via ASXL2, providing insights into liver tropism and potential therapeutic avenues for metastatic uveal melanoma.</p>","PeriodicalId":219,"journal":{"name":"Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research","volume":"38 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/pcmr.70021","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143888916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Transcriptomic sequencing highlights PURPL as one of the top upregulated long noncoding RNAs in response to ionizing radiation (IR) treatment in melanoma cells, suggesting its role in radioresistance. To explore such hypothesis, loss-of-function experiments were conducted to assess the impact of PURPL on melanoma cell viability, colony formation, and migration. Mechanistic studies using RNA pulldown identified BID as the interacting protein partner of PURPL. Further analysis explored the relationship among PURPL, BID, and Caspase-8 in the context of IR-induced DNA damage and apoptosis through loss-of- and gain-of-function experiments. The findings demonstrated that silencing PURPL significantly repressed melanoma cell viability, colony formation, migration, and invasiveness, indicating its potential role in promoting radioresistance. Moreover, PURPL was shown to repress IR-induced DNA damage and apoptosis, supporting its involvement in melanoma radioresistance. Mechanistically, PURPL inhibited the interaction between BID and Caspase-8, thereby modulating the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway and promoting radioresistance. In conclusion, this study provides evidence supporting the pro-radioresistance role of PURPL in melanoma. In vivo assays further corroborated the in vitro findings, highlighting the potential clinical relevance of targeting PURPL in radioresistant melanoma.
