    Age-Dependent Loss of HAPLN1 Erodes Vascular Integrity via Indirect Upregulation of Endothelial ICAM1 in Melanoma

    Investigators showed that HAPLN1 in the dermal extracellular matrix was sufficient to maintain the integrity of melanoma-associated blood vessels, as indicated by increased collagen and VE-cadherin expression.

    DPM1 Modulates Desmosomal Adhesion and Epidermal Differentiation through SERPINB5

    In a 3D organotypic human epidermis model, loss of dolichyl-phosphate mannosyltransferase subunit 1 (DPM1) caused impaired differentiation with abnormally increased cornification, reduced thickness of non-corneal layers, and formation of intercellular gaps in the epidermis.

    Abstract

    SPRY1 Deficiency in Keratinocytes Induces Follicular Melanocyte Stem Cells Migration to Epidermis through p53/SCF/C-KIT Signaling

    Scientists demonstrated that after SPRY1 knockout in epidermal keratinocytes, melanocyte stem cells in the hair follicle exit the niche without depleting the pool of these cells.

    High Expression of miR-6785-5p in the Serum Exosomes of Psoriasis Patients Alleviates Psoriasis-Like Skin Damage by Interfering with the MNK2/p-eIF4E Axis in Keratinocytes

    Researchers employed qRT-PCR and fluorescence in situ hybridization to evaluate miR-6785-5p in psoriatic keratinocytes and conducted a microRNA microarray for identifying differentially expressed miRNAs in patient serum exosomes.

    Abstract

    The MITF/Mir-579-3p Regulatory Axis Dictates BRAF-Mutated Melanoma Cell Fate in Response to MAPK Inhibitors

    The authors showed that miR-579-3p was specifically deregulated in BRAF-mutant melanomas and that its expression levels mirrored those of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF).

    Tumor-Intrinsic Galectin-3 Suppresses Melanoma Metastasis

    Investigators explored extracellular galectin-3 expression in human melanoma tissues as well as murine melanoma models to examine its causal role in metastatic behavior.

    Unraveling Lipid Metabolism Reprogramming for Overcoming Drug Resistance in Melanoma

    The authors discuss research progress on lipid metabolism in melanoma, and emphasize the dynamic ability of metabolism during tumorigenesis as a target for improving response to different therapies and for overcoming drug resistance in melanoma.
