Abstract 4884: Targeted Investigational Oncology Agents (IOA) in the NCI60: a Phenotypic Systems-Based Resource
Cancer research(2023)
Abstract
The NCI60 human tumor cell line panel is a useful tool in the discovery and development of new anticancer agents. The publicly available cell-line characterization and compound screening data from the NCI60 screen have contributed to identifying cellular mechanisms of potential new anticancer agents. Mean-graph sensitivity/resistance patterns in the NCI60 screen serve as a fingerprint for molecular target identification and mechanism of action (MOA). A new NCI60 resource was developed based on screening of 175 FDA-approved oncology drugs (AOD) plus >825 investigational oncology agents (IOA), representing >250 therapeutic targets and MOAs. Compounds targeting different components in a biochemical pathway tend to show high correlations in their GI50 patterns through COMPARE analysis forming clusters with similar NCI60 mean-graph patterns. COMPARE evaluation of compounds that target components in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway form correlation clusters linked by both target and pathway. Only 3 of 15 AKT inhibitors in the IOA set are not found in the connected cluster with a COMPARE correlation of 0.7 including the multi-kinase inhibitors perifosine and AT-13148. The AKT cluster includes both allosteric (MK-2206) and competitive inhibitors highlighting the NCI60 is a functional cell assay. More than 75% of PI3K inhibitors (32/42 agents), including the selective PI3K alpha and PI3K beta inhibitors, form a highly connected cluster at a 0.7 COMPARE correlation. The heat map view showed that >50% of the non-connected PI3K outliers were inactive in the NCI60 assay. The mTOR inhibitors (12/20) form a connected cluster at 0.7 COMPARE correlation, with half of the non-connected mTOR singletons representative of the rapamycin class of inhibitors. The BRAF/MEK/ERK pathway compounds (37) form a highly connected correlation cluster (13/15 BRAF, 14/15 MEK, 8/9 ERK inhibitors) at a 0.75 COMPARE correlation. The NCI60 heat maps for BRAF inhibitors show a consistent pattern of the melanoma cell lines and 2 of the colon cancer lines (COLO 205, HT29). The ERK inhibitors display sensitivity patterns similar to the BRAF agents with additional activity observed against a leukemia (HL-60), ovarian (OVCAR-5) and renal (A498) cell line and 3 other colon cell lines (HCC-298, HCT-116, SW-620). This data analysis resource will be available to the public (https://ioa.cancer.gov). NCI60 compound suppliers can incorporate their test compound(s) data to use the interactive visualization tools with AOD and IOA agents.
