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

“…After prolonged drug exposure, such tolerant responses morph into persistence, whereby the increased DNA damage repair is entirely reversed. The central regulator of mitophagy PINK1 drives this reduction in DNA repair via the cytoplasmic relocalization of the cell identity master HNF4A, thus hampering HNF4A transcriptional activation of DNA repair genes. …”
