Abstract

Autophagy and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress are involved in the development, progression, and chemoresistance of melanoma. We recently reported that oncogenic serine/threonine-protein kinase BRAF induces chronic ER stress, hence increasing baseline autophagy and promoting chemoresistance. The attenuation of ER stress restores basal autophagic activity and resensitizes melanoma cells to apoptosis.
