Project description:With the advent of automatic cell imaging and machine learning, high-content phenotypic screening has become the approach of choice for drug discovery due to its ability to extract drug-specific multi-layered data, which could be compared to known profiles. In the field of epigenetics, such screening methods have suffered from a lack of tools sensitive to selective epigenetic perturbations. Here we describe a novel approach, Microscopic Imaging of Epigenetic Landscapes (MIEL), which captures the nuclear staining patterns of epigenetic marks (e.g., acetylated and methylated histones) and employs machine learning to accurately distinguish between such patterns. We validated the fidelity and robustness of the MIEL platform across multiple cells lines and using dose-response curves, to insure the robustness of this approach for high content high throughput drug discovery. Focusing on alternative, non-cytotoxic, glioblastoma treatments, we demonstrated that the MIEL assay can identify epigenetically active drugs and classify them by molecular function. Furthermore, we show MIEL was able to accurately rank candidate drugs by their ability to produce a set of desired epigenetic alterations consistent with increased sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents or with induction of glioblastoma differentiation.

Project description:We established a platform for high-throughput confocal fluorescence microscopy and automated image analysis to perform large-scale drug response profiling with patient derived organoids (PDOs). Using PDO lines newly established from colorectal cancer patients with a standardized workflow, we performed chemical perturbations with more than 500 experimental and clinically used compounds. Subsequently, we captured approx. six million images by confocal microscopy. To analyze drug-induced PDO re-organization on a single organoid level we developed SCOPE, a software framework for automated PDO high-throughput image analysis. We observed a rich variety of divergent and reoccurring compound induced phenotypes in organoids. Perturbation of cellular processes, including signaling by MEK, GSK3β, cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs) and others, led to recurring and distinct architectural changes. Highlighting the clinical relevance, PDO viability was heterogeneous after perturbation with anticancer drugs and matched clinical response of corresponding colorectal cancer patients. Our work opens new avenues for image-based profiling for accelerated drug discovery and clinical decision-making.

Project description:Patient derived organoids (PDOs) closely resemble individual tumor biology. They are thus promising models for drug discovery and precision medicine. Here, we describe high-throughput imaging and automated image analysis of PDOs. We generated PDOs from colorectal cancer patients. Subsequently, we treated them with >500 substances to capture almost 6 million images by confocal microscopy. We developed a software framework to analyze how perturbations alter the organization of multicellular PDOs. Therewith, we observed a rich spectrum of reoccurring phenotypes. Targeting cellular processes, including signaling by MEK, GSK3 or CDKs, led to distinct architectural changes. Also, we detected compound-induced phenotypes only present in subsets of PDOs with specific molecular alterations. Finally, PDO response to anticancer drugs matched the clinical course of corresponding patients. The presented high-throughput imaging workflow and data allow compound profiling with complex multicellular organoid models for drug discovery and personalized medicine. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying different lines of patient-derived colorectal cancer organoids.

Project description:Discovery of a Drug Candidate for GLIS3-Associated Diabetes
| PRJNA463329 | ENA
Project description:Today, novel candidate therapeutics are identified in an environment which is intrinsically different from the clinical context in which they are ultimately evaluated. We present a strategy that allows biological relevance to be assessed in the early stages of drug discovery. Using molecular phenotyping and an in vitro model of diabetic cardiomyopathy, we show that by quantifying pathway reporter gene expression, molecular phenotyping can cluster compounds based on pathway profiles and dissect associations between pathway activities and disease phenotypes simultaneously. Molecular phenotyping identified a class of calcium-signaling modulators that can reverse disease-regulated pathways and phenotypes, which was validated by structurally distinct compounds of relevant classes. The technique was applicable to compounds with a range of binding specificities and detected false-positive hits missed by classical phenotypic assays. Our results advocate application of molecular phenotyping in drug discovery, promoting biological relevance as a key selection criterion early in the drug development cascade.

Project description:The assessment of major organ toxicities through in silico predictive models plays a crucial role in drug discovery. Computational tools can predict chemical toxicities using the knowledge gained from experimental studies which drastically reduces the attrition rate of compounds during drug discovery and developmental stages. The purpose of in silico predictions for drug leads and anticipating toxicological endpoints of absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity, clinical adverse impacts and metabolism of pharmaceutically active substances has gained widespread acceptance in academia and pharmaceutical industries. With unrestricted accessibility to powerful biomarkers, researchers have an opportunity to contemplate the most accurate predictive scores to evaluate drug's adverse impact on various organs.A multiparametric model involving physico-chemical properties, quantitative structure-activity relationship predictions and docking score was found to be a more reliable predictor for estimating chemical toxicities with potential to reflect atomic-level insights. These in silico models provide informed decisions to carry out in vitro and in vivo studies and subsequently confirms the molecules clues deciphering the cytotoxicity, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics and organ toxicity properties of compounds. Even though the drugs withdrawn by USFDA at later phases of drug discovery which should have passed all the state-of-the-art experimental approaches and currently acceptable toxicity filters, there is a dire need to interconnect all these molecular key properties to enhance our knowledge and guide in the identification of leads to drug optimization phases. Current computational tools can predict ADMET and organ toxicities based on pharmacophore fingerprint, toxicophores and advanced machine-learning techniques.
