    Abstract The advent of mRNA vaccines represents a significant advance in the field of vaccinology. While several vaccine approaches (mRNA, DNA, recombinant protein, and viral-vectored vaccines) had been investigated at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, mRNA vaccines quickly gained popularity due to superior immunogenicity at a low dose, strong safety/tolerability profiles, and the possibility of rapid vaccine mass manufacturing and deployment to rural regions. In addition to inducing protective neutralizing antibody responses, mRNA vaccines can also elicit high-magnitude cytotoxic T-cell responses comparable to natural viral infections; thereby, drawing significant interest from cancer immunotherapy experts. This mini-review will highlight key developmental milestones and lessons we have learned from mRNA vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a specific emphasis on clinical trial data gathered so far for mRNA vaccines against melanoma and other forms of cancer.

    Abstract The immunotherapy era has ushered in enormous promise for cancer, largely led by progress in melanoma management. However a significant fraction of melanoma patients suffers early progression or relapse due to treatment resistance. Immunologically cold tumors are often refractory to immunotherapies and are associated with a lack of interferon signalling and antigen presentation. In their new article, Xu et al. (2022) demonstrate that the epigenetic modifier enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) regulates expression of the innate immune signalling factor STING and that dual targeting of EZH2 and STING induces interferon signalling, major histocompatibility complex expression and synergistically reduces tumor growth in a preclinical model. Strategies such as this stand to improve therapeutic opportunities for otherwise refractory tumor contexts.

    Abstract One effort to combat the rising incidence of malignant melanoma is focused on early detection by the clinical and dermoscopic screening of melanocytic nevi. However, the interaction between nevi, which are congenital or acquired benign melanocytic proliferations, and melanoma is still enigmatic. On the one hand, the majority of melanomas are thought to form de novo, as only a third of primary melanomas are associated with a histologically identifiable nevus precursor. On the other hand, an increased number of melanocytic nevi is a strong risk factor for developing melanoma, including melanomas that do not derive from nevi. The formation of nevi is modulated by diverse factors, including pigmentation, genetic risk factors, and environmental sun exposure. While the molecular alterations that occur during the progression of a nevus to melanoma have been well characterized, many unanswered questions remain surrounding the process of nevus to melanoma evolution. In this review, we discuss clinical, histological, molecular, and genetic factors that influence nevus formation and progression to melanoma.

    Abstract Therapeutic antibodies that target immune checkpoints have revolutionized cancer therapy. While these checkpoints restrain T cell activation in response to antigen engagement, checkpoint inhibitors de-repress such tumor-associated T cells, and have generated major clinical responses in multiple tumor types. Nonetheless, the vast majority of cancers remain resistant to this therapeutic approach as currently deployed, either through intrinsic or acquired resistance mechanisms. One key question involves the identity of the tumor targets which effector T cells recognize. Tumor-specific mutant epitopes (often called neoantigens) represent a favored example, whose recognition has been demonstrated in certain contexts. While potentially helpful in identifying likely therapeutic opportunities (such as cancers harboring DNA repair defects), numerous cancers are relatively deficient in neoantigen loads. This commentary discusses the prospect that a phenomenon of "epitope spreading" may occur in certain high mutation contexts, giving rise to T cell responses against non-mutated/wild-type lineage proteins. Recent evidence is also discussed that suggests this mechanism may be exploited to purposely trigger epitope spreading and induce systemic tumor eradication in neoantigen-deficient cancers.

    Abstract Epigenetic regulation is a crucial component of DNA maintenance and cellular identity. As our understanding of the vast array of proteins that contribute to chromatin accessibility has advanced, the role of epigenetic remodelers in disease has become more apparent. G9a is a histone methyltransferase that contributes to immune cell differentiation and function, neuronal development, and has been implicated in diseases, including cancer. In melanoma, recurrent mutations and amplifications of G9a have led to its identification as a therapeutic target. The pathways that are regulated by G9a provide an insight into relevant biomarkers for patient stratification. Future work is aided by the breadth of literature on G9a function during normal differentiation and development, along with similarities to EZH2, another histone methyltransferase that forms a synthetic lethal relationship with members of the SWI/SNF complex in certain cancers. Here, we review the literature on G9a, its role in melanoma, and lessons from EZH2 inhibitor studies.

    Abstract Resistance to targeted therapy and immunotherapy remains a major obstacle in improving care for patients with advanced melanoma. MicroRNAs play important roles in regulating gene networks involved in disease progression and resistance to therapy in cancers such as melanoma. MicroRNA miR-211 contributes to melanocyte and melanoma biology and has been implicated in targeted therapy resistance. Lee et al. (2020) report a novel mechanism by which miR-211 promotes resistance to BRAF

    Abstract The MiT/TFE family of proteins are important regulators of a number of metabolic processes. One of their most important roles is activating the autophagy pathway in the setting of nutrient deprivation or buildup of toxic metabolites. Their proper and improper functioning in this role has been linked to several types of disease, including cancer and multiple forms of neurodegeneration. In this review we will briefly outline what is known about individual family members' roles in regulating autophagy across a variety of contexts.
