## Abstract The tumor microenvironment is thought to play an important role in invasion and metastasis. Previously, we have shown that signaling from melanoma cells can alter the gene expression profiles of fibroblasts __in vitro__ and __in vivo__. To investigate whether the capacity to signal fibr
