| Summary |
Advancements in precision oncology over the past decades have led to new therapeutic interventions, but the efficacy of such treatments is generally limited by an adaptive process that fosters drug resistance. Beyond genetic mutations, recent research has shed light on the role of non-genetic plasticity in transient drug tolerance and the acquisition of stable resistance. However, the dynamics of cell state transitions occurring in the adaptation to cancer therapies remain elusive and require a systems-level longitudinal framework. Here we demonstrate that resistance develops through trajectories of cell state transitions accompanied by a progressive increase in cell fitness, which we denote the 'resistance continuum'. This cellular adaptation involves a step-wise assembly of gene expression programs and epigenetically reinforced cell states underpinned by phenotypic plasticity, adaptation to stress and metabolic reprogramming. Our results support the notion that EMT/stemness programs, often considered as a proxy for phenotypic plasticity, enable adaptation, rather than a full resistance mechanism. Through systematic genetic perturbations, we identify an acquisition of metabolic dependencies, exposing vulnerabilities that can be potentially exploited therapeutically. The concept of the resistance continuum highlights the dynamic nature of cellular adaptation and calls for complementary therapies directed at the mechanisms underlying adaptive cell state transitions.

| Overall design |
Kuramochi cell populations adapted (olaparib resistant) to 10 uM (T10), 40 uM (T40) and 320 uM (T320) of olaparib and untreated cells (C) were collected for whole exome sequencing to evaluate copy number alterations and single nucleotide variants.
