Additionally, dabrafenib caused autophagy in melanoma and this autophagic process was regulated by miR-26a via modifying HMGB1 expression. Furthermore, silencing HMGB1-inhibited autophagy induced by dabrafenib in melanoma cells. Last, we verified that treatment with a miR-26a mimic and HMGB1 shRNA could increase the efficacy of dabrafenib in melanoma cells.Conclusion: Taken together, we showed that miR-26a is involved in the regulation of dabrafenib efficacy via a HMGB1-dependent autophagy pathway in melanoma cells. These results shed light on a novel treatment for conventional dabrafenib-based chemotherapy for melanoma.Keywords: melanoma, miR-26a, HMGB1, dabrafenib, autophagy, apoptosis
