Tumor cells respond to a host of factors from the local microenvironment. Microenvironmental fatty acids can be used by melanoma cells for fuel, but their effects on transcription and epigenetics are still unclear. Here, we show that the fatty acid {beta}-oxidation (FAO) pathway integrates signaling and epigenetics to drive melanoma progression. Using transgenic zebrafish and human cell lines, we find that octanoate, a medium-chain fatty acid, increases tumorigenesis. Octanoate is metabolized via the FAO/ACLY axis into acetyl-CoA, leading to increased histone acetylation. Transcriptomic and epigenetic analyses demonstrate a convergence of inflammatory gene signatures in octanoate-treated melanoma cells. This signature is mediated by TLR4/MyD88 signaling, which is activated by saturated fatty acids like octanoate. Genetic inactivation of either FAO enzymes or TLR4/MyD88 inhibits alterations in histone acetylation, and rescues octanoate-tumor promoting effects. Together, these data demonstrate clear evidence linking fatty acid metabolism and epigenetics to melanoma pathogenesis through TLR4 signaling.
