When cells are damaged by ultraviolet light, environmental exposures or chemotherapy, they’re supposed to pause and assess the threat. Cancer cells, however, often keep pushing forward, rapidly adapting, rerouting drugs, rewiring repair pathways and clearing damage more efficiently, allowing tumors to become resistant to chemotherapy.

Researchers at Sylvester have discovered a surprising way to turn that resistance against cancer cells. Their findings are published in Genes & Development.

The new study uncovers how blocking a key protein, p300, forces damaged cancer cells into a state of uncontrolled transcriptional activity. This creates a novel form of cellular stress that can make chemo-resistant tumors sensitive again to treatment.

“It’s a fresh angle on the long-standing problem of chemotherapy resistance, and an encouraging path toward restoring the power of widely used chemotherapy drugs,” said Ramiro Verdun, Ph.D., research professor in the Division of Hematology.

In lab models and patient-derived xenografts, platinum chemotherapy alone had limited effect, and blocking p300 alone had a modest impact. But when combined, the two treatments worked synergistically, selectively eliminating tumor cells and restoring chemotherapy sensitivity.

“What excites us most is the opportunity this creates to rethink treatment for patients who’ve run out of options,” said Ramin Shiekhattar, Ph.D.
