Abstrakt: The migratory and invasive capabilities of melanoma cells contribute to metastasis. Therefore, targeting the genes driving these processes can support melanoma therapy. Rab27A and Rab27B contribute to tumor formation progression in many types of cancer through various mechanisms, including the secretion of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs). We explored the role of these GTPases in melanoma cell functioning in three RAB27A knockout (KO) cell lines (A375, DMBC12, and SkMel28) and a double RAB27A/B KO A375 cell line. The loss of RAB27A impaired the migration and invasion of DMBC12 and SkMel28 cells; however, the behavior of highly aggressive A375 cells was unaffected. The RAB27A/B double knockout moderately decreased the migratory capacity of A375 cells without disturbing their invasiveness. Additionally, the silencing of RAB27A did not affect the number and mean size of the sEVs, despite some alterations in the protein content of the vesicles. Both Rab27 isoforms can, at least partially, act independently. The potential role of Rab27A in the functioning of melanoma cells depends on the individual character of the cell line, but not on its basal expression, and seems to be unrelated to the secretion of sEVs.
