  2. Melanoma Genetics and Environment Skin cancer of melanocytes Pre-existing nevus or new nevus Different areas of skin ABCDE assessment system of skin http://www.aad.org/skin-conditions/dermatology-a-to-z/melanoma/signs-symptoms/melanoma-signs-and-symptoms

  22. Question Can I find a compound that mimics CDKN2A by inhibiting CDK4? Hypothesis If a compound were known to interact with and inhibit CDK4, it could be used as a drug for melanoma

  23. Experiment – Identify Compound http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/

  26. Question Can I find a compound that mimics CDKN2A by inhibiting CDK4? Hypothesis If a compound were known to interact with and inhibit CDK4, it could be used as a drug for melanoma Hypothesis If Cdk4 were inhibited by Cdk4 Inhibitor III in a Cdkn2a CKO mouse, the tumor cells would not proliferate and metastasize

  45. Conclusion CDK4 Inhibitor III could be used as an antimelanoma drug by mimicking the tumor suppressor function of CDKN2A in patients with CDKN2A loss of function mutations

  46. Future Directions Test other modes of drug administration Topical cream vs Intravenous solution Different dosages/times of administration Study other proteins in interaction network Look for other tumor suppressors Study effects of UV exposure on CDKN2A How does SPF affect this interaction? Look for compounds in other mutated melanoma pathways
