Summary |
Triple-negative breast cancer is associated with the worst prognosis and the highest risk of recurrence among all breast cancer subtypes1. Residual disease, formed by cancer cells persistent to chemotherapy, remains the major clinical challenge towards full cure2,3. There is now consensus that non-genetic processes contribute to chemoresistance in various tumor types, notably through the initial emergence of a reversible chemotolerant state4–6. Understanding non-genetic tumor evolution stands now as a prerequisite for the design of relevant combinatorial approaches to delay recurrence. Here we show that the repressive histone mark H3K27me3 is a determinant of cell fate under chemotherapy exposure, monitoring epigenomes, transcriptomes and lineage with single-cell resolution. We identify a reservoir of persister basal cells with EMT markers and activated TGF-β pathway leading to multiple chemoresistance phenotypes. We demonstrate that, in unchallenged cells, H3K27 methylation is a lock to the expression program of persister cells. Promoters are primed with both H3K4me3 and H3K27me3, and removing H3K27me3 is sufficient for their transcriptional activation. Leveraging lineage barcoding, we show that depleting H3K27me3 alters tumor cell fate under chemotherapy insult - a wider variety of tumor cells tolerate chemotherapy. Our results highlight how chromatin landscapes shape the potential of unchallenged cancer cells to respond to therapeutic stress and pave the way for combinatorial therapy with modulators of chromatin.
