Transcriptional regulation of autophagy-lysosomal function in BRAF-driven melanoma progression and chemoresistance

The relationship between autophagy and BRAF signalling is unclear. Here, the authors describe that BRAF inhibition induces the autophagy-lysosomal function in BRAF-mutant melanomas via modulation of the TFEB and ZKSCAN3 transcriptome, which downregulates TGF-β and suppresses melanoma progression.
