Abstract
Matrix stiffness is a crucial factor in the tumor microenvironment, impacting tumor progression and development. TET2 is vital for epigenetic regulation in melanoma and is significantly reduced in advanced melanomas compared with nevi and thin melanomas. However, it is unclear how TET2 mediates the effect of matrix stiffness on melanoma cells. This study utilized A2058 cell lines and prepared different stiffness collagen hydrogels to evaluate TET2 overexpression (TET2OE) and mutant (TET2M) melanoma cells' activity, proliferation, and invasion. A2058 melanoma cells' viability and invasion decreased with increased matrix stiffness, with TET2OE cells experiencing a more significant impact than TET2M cells. Methylation analysis revealed that TET2 determines gene methylation levels, influencing cell-ECM interactions. Transcriptome analysis confirmed that TET2 promotes matrix stiffness's effect on melanoma cell fate. This research provides promising directions and opportunities for melanoma treatment.
