A high-throughput screen of 133 FDA-approved drugs, integrating image-based analysis and drug-sensitivity assays, identified the proteasome inhibitors bortezomib and carfilzomib as potent cytotoxic agents. Proteomic analysis, coupled with translation and cell cycle assays, showed that these inhibitors suppress TNBC organoid growth by downregulating ribosomal protein expression, leading to impaired translation and disrupted cell cycle progression. Furthermore, drug response dynamics confirmed their efficacy in overcoming clinical drug resistance. Transcriptomic profiling revealed that proteasome inhibitors counteract doxorubicin-induced, inflammation-driven resistance through dual anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative effects.

Although these changes have been documented, their impact on BRAF<sup>V600E</sup>-mutated melanoma cell behavior and drug response remains unclear. In this study, we utilized both <em>in vitro</em> and <em>in vivo</em> models to fill this critical gap by investigating how collagen remodeling associated with advanced age modulates BRAF<sup>V600E</sup>-mutated melanoma response to vemurafenib. Our findings indicate that <em>in vitro</em>—using a 3D culture matrix model—old collagen promotes increased proliferation of 1205Lu cells and protects both 1205Lu and SKMEL28 cells from vemurafenib effects. This was associated with elevated YAP expression, suggesting a role for mechanotransduction in drug resistance. The 3D collagen matrix spheroid model revealed that aged collagen enhances the invasive properties of 1205Lu cells, which correlated with an upregulation of the AXL receptor. <em>In vivo</em>, vemurafenib reduced tumor growth in athymic mice xenografted with melanoma cells embedded in young collagen matrices, but not in those with aged collagen. Collectively, our data suggest that age-related alterations in type I collagen contribute to reduced efficacy of anti-BRAF<sup>V600E</sup> therapies in BRAF<sup>V600E</sup>-mutated melanoma.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8966,"journal":{"name":"Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy","volume":"190 ","pages":"Article 118351"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144663027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
