Genome-wide mRNA and microRNA profiling of the NCI 60 cell-line screen and comparison of FdUMP[10] with fluorouracil, floxuridine, and topoisomerase 1 poisons.

ABSTRACT: A profile of microRNA (miRNA) and mRNA expression patterns across the NCI-60 cell-line screen was analyzed to identify expression signatures that correlate with sensitivity to FdUMP[10], fluorouracil (5FU), floxuridine (FdU), topotecan, and irinotecan. Genome-wide profile analyses revealed FdUMP[10] resembles FdU most closely and shows dissimilarities with 5FU. FdUMP[10] had the largest dynamic range of any of these drugs across the NCI-60 indicative of cancer cell-specific activity. Genes involved in endocytosis, such as clathrin (CLTC), SNF8, annexin A6 (ANXA6), and amyloid protein-binding 2 (APPBP2) uniquely correlated with sensitivity to FdUMP[10], consistent with a protein-mediated cellular uptake of FdUMP[10]. Genes involved in nucleotide metabolism were enriched for the three fluoro
