Supplemental Materials and methods

Cell lines and culture

Mel-STR and Mel-STV cell lines, immortalized primary human melanocytes expressing RasV12

or empty vector, respectively, were described previously (Gupta et al. 2005) and provided by

Robert Weinberg. 67NR cells, a BALB/C mouse-derived breast cancer cell line (Aslakson and

Miller 1992), were provided by Fred Miller and were grown in DMEM medium supplemented

with 5% fetal bovine serum, 5% newborn calf serum, 1X non-essential amino acids (Invitrogen),

L-glutamine (2 mM) and 1X penicillin/streptomycin (Invitrogen). To generate B16-F0 cell lines

expressing Bcl-2, B16-F0 cells were stably transduced with a Bcl-2 retroviral vector

(pME2PUROSRαBCL2; Innes et al. 1999), provided by Suzanne Cory, and puromycin selected

for 4 days.

Proliferation and apoptosis assays

The proliferation rate of the B16-F0 cells expressing a Gas1 shRNA or non-silencing control, or

B16-F10 cells ectopically expressing Gas1 or vector was determined using CyQUANT® Cell

Proliferation Assay Kit according to the manufacturer (Invitrogen). To evaluate apoptosis in the

above cell lines, protein extracts were prepared and the levels of cleaved and non-cleaved Parp-1

were analyzed by immunoblotting using an antibody against Parp-1 (BioMol).

Transwell/Boyden invasion assays

Invasion assays were performed using the CytoSelect 24-Well Cell Migration and Invasion

Assay as described by the manufacturer (Cell Biolabs). In brief, B16-F0 cells expressing a Gas1

shRNA or non-silencing control, or B16-F10 cells were placed in the upper compartment of the

Transwell/Boyden chamber and invasion as well as migration into the lower chamber was

measured 48hrs later. Invasion percentage was determined by dividing the number of cells that

invaded over the number of cells that migrated.

Shh signaling assays

B16-F0 cells were transduced with a Gas1 or non-silencing shRNA and 7 days later, cell extracts

were prepared and analyzed by immunoblotting using an antibody against Gli1 (Santa Cruz) or,

as a loading control, Actin (Sigma). For B16-F10 cells, extracts were prepared 7 days following

ectopic expression of Gas1.

Oncomine database searches

The Haqq (Haqq et al. 2005) and Smith (Smith et al. 2005) melanoma microarray datasets were

accessed using the Oncomine Cancer Profiling Database (www.oncomine.org). The Haqq

melanoma dataset includes 10 normal mole, 5 primary melanoma and 17 metastatic melanoma

samples; the Smith melanoma dataset includes 6 early stage (normal, benign nevi, melanoma in

situ) and 7 advanced stage (vertical growth phase melanoma, metastatic growth phase melanoma,

melanoma positive lymph nodes) samples. Histograms depicting gene expression in each sample,

as well as a Student’s t-test giving a p value for the comparison of candidate gene expression

between the groups, were obtained directly through the Oncomine 3.0 software. Analogous

approaches were used to analyze expression of candidate genes in other cancers.

Supplemental Figure Legends

Supplemental Figure S1. Three-dimensional cell culture assays for each of the 78 B16-F0

knockdown cell lines. Collagen/MatrigelTM-embedded cells are shown in the center, surrounded

by migrating satellite colonies in the fibrin matrix. B16-F0 cells expressing a non-silencing (NS)

shRNA and B16-F10 cells are shown as controls.

Supplemental Figure S2. Analysis of target gene expression in the B16-F0 knockdown cell

lines. (A) Quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) confirmed in all cases that expression of

the target gene was decreased in each B16-F0 KD cell line. Error bars indicate SEM (n=3). (B)

Immunoblot analysis for Gas1, Acta2 and Ccna2. Actin is shown as a loading control.

Supplemental Figure S3. Three-dimensional cell culture assays and target gene analysis for

each of the candidate 22 B16-F0 knockdown cell lines using a second, unrelated shRNA. For all

22 genes, a second, unrelated shRNA directed against the same target also resulted in increased

formation of satellite colonies in the three-dimensional assay (A) and knockdown of target gene

expression (B). Error bars indicate SD (n=3).

Supplemental Figure S4. Gas1 does not affect proliferation or apoptosis in cultured B16-F0 or

B16-F10 cells. (A) Proliferation of B16-F0 cells expressing a Gas1 or non-silencing (NS)

shRNA, and B16-F10 cells ectopically expressing Gas1 or empty vector was assessed at 24 and

48 hours. Error bars indicate SEM (n=3). (B) Levels of apoptosis in the indicated cultured cells

lines were determined by immunoblotting for Parp-1. Cleaved Parp-1, a marker of apoptosis, is

indicated by an arrow.

Supplemental Figure S5. Gas1 suppresses metastasis by promoting apoptosis of cells following

dissemination to secondary sites (24 hour time point). Quantitation of in vivo single-cell

fluorescence imaging of the lung 24 hours following tail vein injection of fluorescently labeled

B16-F0 cells stably expressing a Gas1 or NS shRNA. Error bars represent SEM (n=3 mice);

p=0.0027.

Supplemental Figure S6. Ectopic expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 increases

satellite colony formation in the 3-D cell culture assay. B16-F0 cells stably expressing Bcl-2 or

vector were grown for 8 days in the 3-D cell culture system. Satellite colonies were counted

under 100X magnification. Error bars indicate SEM (n=3).

Supplemental Figure S7. Knockdown of GAS1 in UACC-257 cells increases their ability to

form satellite colonies in the 3-D cell culture assay. Human melanoma UACC-257 cells stably

expressing a GAS1 or NS shRNA were grown for 8 days in the 3-D cell culture system. Error

bars indicate SEM (n=3).

Supplemental Figure S8. GAS1 expression is reduced in Mel-STR cells relative to Mel-STV

cells. qRT-PCR analysis of Gas1 expression in immortalized human melanocyte Mel-STV

(vector) cells relative to Mel-STR (Ras-expressing) cells. Error bars represent SD (n=3). The

results show that GAS1 expression is reduced ~6-fold in Mel-STR cells relative to Mel-STV

cells.

Supplemental Figure S9. Knockdown of Gas1 does not increase the invasion of B16-F0 cells.

Transwell/Boyden chamber assays comparing the invasion of B16-F0/Gas1 KD, B16-F0/NS, and

B16-F10 cells. Cells were placed in the upper compartment of the Transwell/Boyden chamber

and invasion and migration into the lower chamber was measured 48 hours later. Invasion

percentage was determined by dividing the number of cells that invaded by the number of cells

that migrated. Error bars indicate SEM (n=3).

Supplemental Figure S10. Gas1 does not affect expression of Gli1, a marker of Sonic

hedgehog signaling, in B16 mouse melanoma cells. Immunoblot analysis monitoring Gli1

expression in B16-F0 cells expressing a Gas1 or non-silencing (NS) shRNA, and in B16-F10

cells ectopically expressing Gas1 or empty vector. Actin was monitored as a loading control.

The results show that Gas1 knockdown in B16-F0 cells or Gas1 over-expression in B16-F10

cells does not affect Shh signaling.

Supplemental Figure S11. Down-regulation of ACTA2, CTSO, SLC9A3R2 and DPPA3 in

human metastatic melanoma cell lines and tissue samples. (A) ACTA2, CTSO and SLC9A3R2

expression in benign nevi (blue), primary melanoma (yellow) and metastatic melanoma (red).

(B) DPPA3 expression in advanced (red) versus early (blue) stage melanoma. Data were

obtained through the Oncomine database; a Student’s t-test, performed directly though the

Oncomine 3.0 software, showed the difference in gene expression between the samples was

significant.

Supplemental Figure S12. Knockdown of Gas1 in the mouse breast cancer cell line 67NR

increases lung metastasis. Left, mouse tail vein metastasis assay showing lungs from mice

injected with 67NR cells stably expressing a Gas1 or NS shRNA. Right, quantitation of lung

weight. In contrast to the experiments performed with B16 cells, in which the number of

metastases could be directly counted, here metastasis was quantified by weighing the lungs;

direct counting was not possible due to the large number of metastases, the large size of the

metastatic nodules, and the lack of pigmentation. Error bars represent SEM (67NR/NS, n=9

mice; 67NR/Gas1 KD, n=12 mice).
