Drug-Induced Death Signaling Strategy Rapidly Predicts Cancer Response to Chemotherapy
Open accessAbstract
There is a lack of effective predictive biomarkers to precisely assign optimal therapy to cancer patients. While most efforts are directed at inferring drug response phenotype based on genotype, there is very focused and useful phenotypic information to be gained from directly perturbing the patient's living cancer cell with the drug(s) in question. To satisfy this unmet need, we developed the Dynamic BH3 Profiling technique to measure early changes in net pro-apoptotic signaling at the mitochondrion ("priming") induced by chemotherapeutic agents in cancer cells, not requiring prolonged ex vivo culture. We find in cell line and clinical experiments that early drug-induced death signaling measured by Dynamic BH3 Profiling predicts chemotherapy response across many cancer types and many agents, including combinations of chemotherapies. We propose that Dynamic BH3 Profiling can be used as a broadly applicable predictive biomarker to predict cytotoxic response of cancers to chemotherapeutics in vivo.

In the citing paper
“BCL2-homology domain (BH3) profiling 41 demonstrated that cytochrome c release following mitochondrial exposure to pro-apoptotic BH3-only peptides (e.g. BIM BH3, PUMA BH3) was similar in control and Tbk1-null B16 cells (Extended Data Fig. 9a).”

In the citing paper
“Montero et al. recently reported a functional approach called ‘dynamic BH3 profiling’, in which therapeutics are applied to cell lines or clinical tumor isolates, and then the percentage of cells that undergo mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP) is measured after introduction of a pro-apoptotic BH3 peptide29.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
