Abstract

Purpose The discovery of effective biomarkers is a fundamental goal of molecular medicine. Developing a systems-biology understanding of radiosensitivity can enhance our ability of identifying radiation-specific biomarkers. Methods and Materials Radiosensitivity, as represented by the Survival Fraction at 2 Gy (SF2) was modeled in 48 human cancer cell lines. We apply a linear regression algorithm that integrates gene expression with biological variables including: ras status (mut/wt), tissue of origin (TO) and p53 status (mut/wt). Results The biomarker discovery platform is a network representation of the top 500 genes identified by linear regression. This network was reduced to a 10-hub network that includes: c-Jun, HDAC1, RELA (p65 subunit of NFKB), PKC-beta, SUMO-1, c-Abl, STAT1, AR, CDK1 and IRF1. Nine targets associated with radiosensitization drugs link to the network, demonstrating clinical relevance. Furthermore, the model identifies four significant radiosensitivity clusters of terms and genes. Ras was a dominant variable in the analysis along with TO and their interaction with gene expression but not p53. Overrepresented biological pathways differed between clusters but included: DNA repair, cell cycle, apoptosis and metabolism. The c-Jun network hub was validated using a knockdown approach in 8 human cell lines representing lung, colon and breast cancers. Conclusions We developed a novel radiation-biomarker discovery platform using a systems biology modeling approach. We propose this platform will play a central role in the integration of biology into clinical radiation oncology practice.

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.
