Disseminated cancer cells (DCCs) in secondary organs can remain dormant for years to decades before re-activating into overt metastasis. Microenvironmental signals leading to cancer cell chromatin remodeling and transcriptional reprogramming appear to control onset and escape from dormancy. Here, we reveal that the therapeutic combination of the DNA methylation inhibitor 5-azacytidine (AZA) and the retinoic acid receptor ligands all-trans retinoic acid (atRA) or AM80, an RARα-specific agonist, promotes stable dormancy in cancer cells. Treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) or breast cancer cells with AZA+atRA induces a SMAD2/3/4-dependent transcriptional program that restores transforming growth factor β (TGF-β)-signaling and anti-proliferative function. Significantly, either combination, AZA+atRA or AZA+AM80, strongly suppresses HNSCC lung metastasis formation by inducing and maintaining solitary DCCs in a SMAD4+/NR2F1+ non-proliferative state. Notably, SMAD4 knockdown is sufficient to drive resistance to AZA+atRA-induced dormancy. We conclude that therapeutic doses of AZA and RAR agonists may induce and/or maintain dormancy and significantly limit metastasis development. Awakening of dormant DCCs leads to lethal metastatic disease. Singh et al. show that neo-adjuvant + adjuvant treatment of cancer cells with 5-azacytidine followed by retinoic acid suppresses metastasis by reprogramming malignant cells into dormancy via enhanced TGF-β-SMAD4 signaling.
