Genomic hallmarks of cellular dormancy in cancer and therapeutic implications

Abstract: Therapy resistance in cancer is often driven by a subpopulation of cells that are temporarily arrested in a non-proliferative, quiescent or ‘dormant’ state, which is difficult to capture and whose mutational drivers remain largely unknown. We developed methodology to uniquely identify this state from transcriptomic signals and characterised its prevalence and genomic constraints in solid primary tumours. We show dormancy preferentially emerges in the context of more stable, less mutated genomes which maintain … Show more

“…Cancer is a highly complex and global leading disease that severely impacts the worldwide human population and hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the leading cancer types (2,4,71,72). Many plants produce naturally occurring secondary metabolites known for their anti-cancer activities and appear to be the leading source of new clinical drugs.…”
