resistance. Although epigenetic reprogramming has been implicated in resistance, the
mechanisms remain elusive. Herein, we demonstrate that increased chromatin accessibility
is involved in adaptive BRAF inhibitor (BRAFi)-resistance in melanoma cells. We observed
loss of chromatin assembly factor 1 (CAF-1) and its related histone H3 lysine 9 trimethylation
(H3K9me3) with adaptive BRAFi resistance. We further showed that depletion of CAF-1 …
