Aberrant extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and stiffening is a physical hallmark of several solid cancers associated with therapy failure. BRAF-mutant melanomas treated BRAF MEK inhibitors almost invariably develop resistance that frequently transcriptional reprogramming de-differentiated cell state. Melanoma cells secrete their own ECM proteins, an event promoted by oncogenic inhibition. Yet, the contribution cancer cell-derived tumor mechanics to drug adaptation remains poorly...

Fibroblastic reticular cells (FRC) are immunologically specialized myofibroblasts that control the elasticity of lymph node, in part through their contractile properties. Swelling tumor-draining nodes is a hallmark lymphophilic cancers such as cutaneous melanoma. Melanoma displays high intratumoral heterogeneity with coexistence melanoma variable differentiation phenotypes from melanocytic to dedifferentiated states. Factors secreted by promote premetastatic node reprograming and tumor...
Cladribine is an oral synthetic purine analog that depletes lymphocytes and induces a dose-dependent reduction of T B cells. It was approved for the therapy highly active relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Given cladribine's mechanism action, increased risk malignancies suspected from number cancers occurred in 3.5 mg/kg-treated arm (CLARITY study). We showed cladribine inhibits cell proliferation on three melanoma lines tested, irrespectively their mutational oncogenic status...
Abstract Extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffening, resulting from increased collagen deposition and cross-linking, is a key biophysical factor of the tumor microenvironment. Cutaneous melanoma deadly metastatic cancer. Its aggressiveness stems high intratumoral heterogeneity, plasticity cells, which transit melanocytic state to dedifferentiated therapy-resistant invasive phenotypes, characterized by mesenchymal and/or neural crest stem cell-like features. Phenotypic regulated stroma-derived...
<title>Abstract</title> Tumor progression is accompanied by fibrosis, which associated with diminished anti-tumor immune infiltrate. Here, we demonstrate that tumor infiltrating myeloid cells respond to the stiffened fibrotic microenvironment (TME) initiating a TGF-beta (TGFβ)-directed, collagen biosynthesis program. A collateral effect of this programming an untenable metabolic milieu for productive CD8 T cell responses, as collagen-synthesizing macrophages consume environmental arginine,...
Abstract Resistance to BRAF and MEK inhibitors in V600E mutant melanomas remains a major obstacle that limits patient benefit. Microenvironment components including the extracellular matrix (ECM) can support tumor cell adaptation tolerance targeted therapies, however underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated process of matrix-mediated drug resistance (MM-DR) response inhibition melanoma. We demonstrate physical structural cues from fibroblast-derived ECM abrogate...
