Within this context, a potential oncogenic role for TrkA in CMM is suggested by reports of NTRK1 amplification, enhanced TrkA expression and intracellular TrkA activation associated with poor prognosis. TrkA, however, exhibits tumour-suppressing properties in melanoma cell lines and has recently been reported not to be associated with CMM progression. To better understand these contradictions, we present the first analysis of potential oncogenic alternative TrkA mRNA splicing, associated with TrkA immunoreactivity, in CMMs, and compare the behaviour of fully spliced TrkA and the alternative TrkAIII splice variant in BRAF(V600E)-mutated A375 melanoma cells. Alternative TrkA splicing in CMMs was associated with unfolded protein response (UPR) activation. Of the several alternative TrkA mRNA splice variants detected, TrkAIII was the only variant with an open reading frame and, therefore, oncogenic potential. TrkAIII expression was more frequent in metastatic CMMs, predominated over fully spliced TrkA mRNA expression in \u224850% and was invariably linked to intracellular phosphorylated TrkA immunoreactivity. Phosphorylated TrkA species resembling TrkAIII were also detected in metastatic CMM extracts. In A375 cells, reductive stress induced UPR activation and promoted TrkAIII expression and, in transient transfectants, promoted TrkAIII and Akt phosphorylation, enhancing resistance to reductive stress-induced death, which was prevented by lestaurtinib and entrectinib. In contrast, fully spliced TrkA was dysfunctional in A375 cells. The data identify fully spliced TrkA dysfunction as a novel mechanism for reducing melanoma suppression, support a causal relationship between reductive stress, UPR activation, alternative TrkAIII splicing and TrkAIII activation and characterise a targetable oncogenic pro-survival role for TrkAIII in CMM.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cells12020237","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,6]],"date-time":"2023-01-06T02:20:30Z","timestamp":1672971630000},"page":"237","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The
