Background: Patients with high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) are commonly diagnosed at late disease stages and after primary tumors have disseminated in the peritoneum. The overexpression of tight junction proteins has been associated with poor prognosis in this setting, potentially reflecting the tumor´s adaptive changes in the disease cascade.
Methods: By performing immunohistochemistry in a large single-center cohort of a total of 705 HGSC, we test the hypothesis that the protein expression of PReferentially expressed Antigen of MElanoma (PRAME) contains prognostic, predictive or clinically translatable information.

Melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer with a high tendency for metastasis and resistance to conventional therapies. This study explores the role of preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma (PRAME), a cancer-testis antigen, in melanoma progression, focusing on its function in melanoma-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) and its impact on benign melanocytes. We show that PRAME is highly expressed in melanoma cell lines, tissues, and patient plasma and is present in EVs.

Cutaneous melanoma can lead to metastasis, and it is associated with high mortality. Currently, there are no widely accepted immunohistochemistry markers for melanoma prognosis in routine staging. Preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma (PRAME) is a possible biomarker for prognosis in several noncutaneous neoplasms.

In a thorough review of the literature, the complex roles of PRAME (preferentially expressed Antigen of Melanoma) and BAP1 (BRCA1-associated protein 1) have been investigated in uveal melanoma (UM) and cutaneous melanoma. High PRAME expression in UM is associated with poor outcomes and correlated with extraocular extension and chromosome 8q alterations. BAP1 mutations in the UM indicate genomic instability and a poor prognosis.
