Colorectal Cancer Cells Enter a Diapause-like DTP State to Survive Chemotherapy.

ABSTRACT: Cancer cells enter a reversible drug-tolerant persister (DTP) state to evade death from chemotherapy and targeted agents. It is increasingly appreciated that DTPs are important drivers of therapy failure and tumor relapse. We combined cellular barcoding and mathematical modeling in patient-derived colorectal cancer models to identify and characterize DTPs in response to chemotherapy. Barcode analysis revealed no loss of clonal complexity of tumors that entered the DTP state and recurred following treatment cessation. Our data fit a mathematical model where all cancer cells, and not a small subpopulation, possess an equipotent capacity to become DTPs. Mechanistically, we determined that DTPs display remarkable transcriptional and functional similarities to diapause, a reversible state of suspended embryonic development triggered by unfavorable environmental conditions. Our study provides insight into how cancer cells use a developmentally conserved mechanism to drive the DTP state, pointing to novel therapeutic opportunities to target DTPs.

Colorectal cancer cells possess an equipotent capacity to enter a developmental pausing-like state to survive chemotherapy

Project description:Cancer cells enter a reversible drug tolerant persister (DTP) state to evade death from both chemotherapies and targeted agents. It is increasingly appreciated that the DTP state is an important driver of therapy failure and tumor relapse. We combined cellular barcoding and mathematical modeling in patient-derived colorectal cancer xenograft models to identify and characterize the cancer cells capable of generating DTPs in response to standard-of-care chemotherapy. Barcode analysis revealed no loss in clonal complexity of tumors that entered the DTP state and recurred following treatment cessation. Our data fits a mathematical model in which all cancer cells, and not a small subpopulation, possess an equipotent capacity to enter the DTP state. Mechanistically, we determined that DTPs display remarkable transcriptional and functional similarities to diapause, a reversible state of suspended embryonic development triggered by unfavorable environmental conditions.

Cancer cells enter an adaptive persistence to survive radiotherapy and repopulate tumor 1

Project description:Tumor cell repopulation represents a critical factor in the failure of radiotherapy. Analogous to the concept of “drug-tolerant persistence (DTP)” in stress of chemo- or targeted therapy, here, we show that cancer cells enter a “radiation-tolerant persistence (RTP)” to survive radiotherapy and repopulate tumor. These RTP cells exhibit a distinct phenotype characterized by enlargement of cell sizes and nucleus, complex karyotype, cell cycle arrest and engagement of quiescence. A fraction of RTPs unexpectedly give birth to mitotic-competent progeny cells via a viral budding-mimicking cell division. To gain insight into the molecular mechanisms how RTPs generating progenies and repopulating tumors, we applied single cell SMART RNA-sequencing and 10x RNA-sequencing to different status of human colorectal cancer cells HCT116 before and exposed to irradiation. For the first time, we profiled two transitional transcriptional waves throughout budding process and characterized two gene panels associated with budding of RTPs, illustrating the therapeutic potential for blocking tumor repopulation after radiation.
