Project description:Despite significant advances in HER2-targeted therapies, therapeutic resistance in HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer remains a significant clinical problem, especially in the metastatic setting. “Drug tolerant persisters” (DTPs), a sub-population of cancer cells that survive via reversible, non-genetic mechanisms, are implicated in resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in several cancer models, but DTPs for HER2-targeted TKIs (e.g., lapatinib, neratinib, tucatinib) have not been characterized extensively. Here, we report that HER2+ER+ and HER2+ER- breast cancer lines give rise to distinct types of “lapatinib-DTPs,” characterized by different transcriptional programs and sensitivity to lapatinib/anti-estradiol combination. Lapatinib-DTPs from HER2+/ER+ cells rewire the PI3K/AKT/mTORC1 pathway via transcriptional induction of SGK3 to enable AKT-independent mTORC1 activation and survival. Lentiviral barcoding experiments, combined with single cell RNA-sequencing, suggest that HER2+ cells stochastically cycle through a cell state (“pre-DTP”) capable of transition to DTPs. Collectively, our results provide insight into DTP ontogeny and therapeutic vulnerabilities.

Project description:Acquired drug resistance prevents targeted cancer therapy from achieving stable and complete responses. Emerging evidence implicates a key role for nonmutational mechanisms including changes in cell state during early stages of acquired drug resistance. Targeting nonmutational resistance may therefore present a therapeutic opportunity to eliminate residual surviving tumor cells and impede relapse. A variety of cancer cell lines harbor quiescent, reversibly drug-tolerant âpersisterâ cells which survive cytotoxic drugs including targeted therapies and chemotherapies. These persister cells survive drug through nonmutational mechanisms which are poorly understood. Specifically targeting persister cells is a promising strategy to prevent tumor relapse. We sought to identify therapeutically exploitable vulnerabilities in persister cells using the HER2-amplified breast cancer line BT474 as an experimental model. Similar to other persister cell models, upon treatment with the HER2 inhibitor lapatinib (2uM concentration) for nine or more days, the majority of BT474 cells die, revealing a small population of quiescent surviving persister cells. Removal of lapatinib allows the persister cells to regrow and to re-acquire sensitivity to lapatinib. Subsequent lapatinib treatment re-derives persister cells. The reversibility of persister cell drug resistance indicates a nonmutational resistance mechanism. Here we provide RNAseq gene expression profiling data generated from parental BT474 cells compared to BT474 persister cells generated from nine days of treatment with 2 uM lapatinib. These data can be used to identify genes and pathways which are upregulated in persister cells, revealing potential therapeutic targets. 3 biological replicates of BT474 persister cells, two biological replicates of BT474 parental cells

Drug-tolerant persisters (DTPs), a sub-population of cancer cells that survive via reversible, non-genetic mechanisms, are implicated in resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in several cancer models, but DTPs for HER2-targeted TKIs have not been characterized extensively. We found that upon treatment with the TKI lapatinib, HER2+ breast cancer lines yielded DTPs with luminal-like or mesenchymal-like transcriptional programs and differential sensitivity to lapatinib/anti-estradiol combinations. Lentiviral barcoding and single cell RNA-sequencing indicate that HER2+/ER+ cells cycle stochastically through a pre-DTP state, characterized by a G0-like signature, which uniquely gives rise to DTPs upon lapatinib exposure.

Project description:Bacterial persisters, a subpopulation of genetically susceptible cells that are normally dormant and tolerant to bactericides, have been studied extensively because of their clinical importance. In comparison, much less is known about the determinants underlying fungicide-tolerant fungal persister formation in vivo. Here, we report that during mouse lung infection, Cryptococcus neoformans forms persisters that are highly tolerant to amphotericin B (AmB), the standard of care for treating cryptococcosis. By exploring stationary-phase indicator molecules and developing single-cell tracking strategies, we show that in the lung, AmB persisters are enriched in cryptococcal cells that abundantly produce stationary-phase molecules. The antioxidant ergothioneine plays a specific and key role in AmB persistence, which is conserved in phylogenetically distant fungi. Furthermore, the antidepressant sertraline shows potent activity specifically against cryptococcal AmB persisters. Our results provide evidence for and the determinant of AmB-tolerant persister formation in pulmonary cryptococcosis, which has potential clinical significance.

Project description:We compared untreated HCC1419 cells with Lapatinib resistant HCC1419 cells that were either treated with Lapatinib for only 9 days before harvesting (drug tolerant persisters, DTPs) or were growing in the presence of Lapatinib (>70 days) (drug tolerant expanded persisters, DTEPs). We show that the Notch pathway is significantly over-expressed in DTEPs when compared to untreated cells.
