Tumor cell-intrinsic mtDNA instability drives cGAS-dependent temporal remodeling of the melanoma immune microenvironment

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) instability is an emerging feature of cancer, yet its biological effects on the tumor microenvironment (TME) and tumor progression remain incompletely defined. Using melanocyte-specific conditional silencing of mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) in an autochthonous BrafV600E/Pten-/- melanoma model, we demonstrate that tumor cell-intrinsic mtDNA instability…
