The authors used single cell RNA-sequencing of patient tumors to identify three prognostic surface markers (LYPD3, TACSTD2, and LY6D) which correlated with myocardin-related transcription factor (nMRTF) and resistance to Smoothened inhibitors. The nMRTF cell state resembled transit-amplifying cells of the hair follicle matrix, with AP-1 and TGFß cooperativity driving nMRTF activation.
