Early tolerance and late persistence as alternative drug responses in cancer by Simona Punzi, Davide Cittaro, Guido Gatti, Gemma Crupi, Oronza A. Botrugno, Antonino Alex Cartalemi, Alon Gutfreund, Caterina Oneto, Valentina Giansanti, Chiara Battistini, Giovanni Santacatterina, Lucrezia Patruno, Ilaria Villanti, Martina Palumbo, Daniel J. Laverty, Francesca Giannese, Alex Graudenzi, Giulio Caravagna, Marco Antoniotti, Zachary Nagel, Ugo Cavallaro, Luisa Lanfrancone, Timothy A. Yap, Giulio Draetta, Nathalie Balaban, Giovanni Tonon

“…While resistance and persistence have been described, whether drug-induced tolerance exists in cancer cells remains largely unknown. Here, we show that human cancer cells elicit a tolerant response when exposed to commonly used chemotherapy regimens, propelled by the pervasive activation of autophagy, leading to the comprehensive activation of DNA damage repair pathways. …”
