Carboxyl-terminal binding protein 1 (CtBP1) has been shown to suppress the transcription of several tumor suppressors in vitro. Paradoxically, a previous report showed that CtBP1 mRNA was downregulated in melanoma. Using immunostaining, we found that a large percentage of human melanomas were positive for CtBP1 protein. Furthermore, we demonstrated that CtBP1 expression in melanoma cells contributes to cell proliferation and genome instability, two aspects promoting melanoma initiation and progression. Breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (Brca1), a core protein in DNA-damage repair, was repressed by CtBP1 in melanoma cells. Consistently, Brca1 loss in human malignant melanoma tissues was found to be inversely correlated with CtBP1 expression levels. In addition, the inhibitor of cyclin-dependent protein kinases (CDKs), p16INK4a, whose loss has been related to the pathogenesis of melanoma, was repressed by CtBP1 as well. Our findings suggest an important role of CtBP1 in the transcriptional control of p16INK4a and Brca1, with CtBP1 overexpression potentially contributing to increased proliferation and DNA damage in melanoma.
