Therapy resistance in breast cancer is increasingly attributed to polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs), which arise through whole-genome doubling and exhibit heightened resilience to standard treatments. Characterized by enlarged nuclei and increased DNA content, these cells tend to be dormant under therapeutic stress, driving disease relapse. Despite their critical role in resistance, strategies to effectively target PGCCs are limited, largely due to the lack of high-throughput methods for assessing their viability. Traditional assays lack the sensitivity needed to detect PGCC-specific elimination, prompting the development of novel approaches. To address this challenge, we developed a high-throughput single-cell morphological analysis workflow designed to differentiate compounds that selectively inhibit non-PGCCs, PGCCs, or both. Using this method, we screened a library of 2,726 FDA Phase 1-approved drugs, identifying promising anti-PGCC candidates, including proteasome inhibitors, FOXM1, CHK, and macrocyclic lactones. Notably, RNA-Seq analysis of cells treated with the macrocyclic lactone Pyronaridine revealed AXL inhibition as a potential strategy for targeting PGCCs. Although our single-cell morphological analysis pipeline is powerful, empirically testing all existing compounds is impractical and inefficient. To overcome this limitation, we trained a machine learning model to predict anti-PGCC efficacy in silico , integrating chemical fingerprints and compound descriptions from prior publications and databases. The model demonstrated a high correlation with experimental outcomes and predicted efficacious compounds in an expanded library of over 6,000 drugs. Among the top-ranked predictions, we experimentally validated two compounds as potent PGCC inhibitors. These findings underscore the synergistic potential of integrating high-throughput empirical screening with machine learning-based virtual screening to accelerate the discovery of novel therapies, particularly for targeting therapy-resistant PGCCs in breast cancer.
