Global gene expression profiling of human colorectal cancer cell lines

ABSTRACT: The development of anticancer drugs relies on preclinical models closely recapitulating the molecular profile observed patients. We report here the transcriptional profiles of 155 stable cell lines derived from colorectal cancer and related tissues. For these lines, also mutational and pharmacological profiles are available, which enables their stratification into clinically relevant subgroups.

Project description:Identification of novel molecular subgroups Background: International consensus recognises four medulloblastoma molecular subgroups - WNT, SHH, Group 3 and Group 4 - each defined by their characteristic genome-wide transcriptomic and DNA methylomic profiles. Subgroups harbor distinct clinico-pathological and molecular features, underpin current disease sub-classification and initial subgroup-directed therapies are underway in clinical trials (i.e. reduced risk-adapted treatments for favorable-risk WNT patients; SMO inhibitors for SHH patients). However, significant biological heterogeneity and differences in survival are apparent within each subgroup, which remain to be resolved. Methods: We undertook comprehensive molecular profiling and unsupervised class discovery (non-negative matrix factorization, t-SNE) of test and validation cohorts to identify consensus primary molecular subgroups within childhood medulloblastoma (<16.0 years), and characterize their clinical and biological significance. Survival modeling was performed in clinically-annotated centrally-reviewed patients (>3.0 years). Findings: Seven robust and reproducible primary molecular subgroups of childhood medulloblastoma were identified, characterized by distinct biological/clinical features. For instance, SHH comprised two age-dependent subgroups, while Grp3 and Grp4 each split into two subgroups with significantly different survival rates. Survival analysis identified secondary features predictive of outcome. Cross-validated subgroup-dependent models incorporating these novel subgroups along with secondary features and established disease risk-factors, outperformed current disease risk-stratification schemes. These schema stratified patients into four clinical risk-groups - favorable-risk (91% 5-year survival, 25% of patients), standard-risk (81%, 23%), high-risk (42%, 38%) and very high-risk (28%, 13%) - to be considered for treatment reduction, intensification or novel therapies respectively. Interpretation: The discovery of seven novel, clinically-significant, subgroups significantly improves disease risk-stratification and provides a new foundation for future research and clinical investigations.
