An integrative epigenome-based strategy for unbiased profiling of clinical kinase inhibitors
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: More than 500 kinases are implicated in the control of most cellular process in mammals, and deregulation of their activity is linked to cancer and inflammatory disorders. 68 clinical kinase inhibitors (CKIs) have been approved for clinical use and hundreds are in various stages of development. However, CKIs inhibit other kinases in addition to the intended target(s), causing both enhanced clinical effects and undesired side effects that are only partially predictable based on in vitro selectivity profiling. Here, we report an integrative approach grounded on the use of chromatin modifications as unbiased, information-rich readouts of the effects of CKIs on macrophage activation. This approach allowed us to identify similarities and differences among CKIs with identical intended targets, to recognize novel CKI specificities and to pinpoint CKIs that may be repurposed to control inflammation, thus supporting the utility of this strategy to improve selection and use of CKIs in clinical settings
