[0271] RNA sequencing of CELLO cell lines

[0272] RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) by next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology is a precise and sensitive method for measuring gene expression, where additional kinetics are used to detect alternative splicing, allele-specific expression, non-coding RNA, and Various forms of mutations (SNPs, insertions and deletions, gene fusions). The NGSIlluminaHiSeq machine generates raw base calls as reads of 50 or 100 bp length, which are subjected to several data analysis steps. RNA-seq is performed at 40 to 50 million reads / sample. This number provides relatively high sensitivity for detection of low expressed genes while allowing multiplexing of samples that can be scaled. RNA was prepared from standard kits, while RNA libraries were prepared from polyATruSeq Illumina kits. For each RNA-seq reaction, 100 ng of mRNA / cell line was used. For each specimen, multiple quality control procedures were applied to the RNA-seq data. The Illumina Hi...

[0274] Exom Sequencing of CELLO Cell Lines

[0275] Compound A in vitro test

[0276] Treatment of 281 cells with MDM2 antagonists resulted in IC50 (therapeutic response). Cell lines are derived across a wide range of tumor cell types.

[0277] After careful annotation to remove low-quality cells and germline mutations, of the 281 cell lines evaluated, 210 cell lines showed mutations in TP53. Of the 7 AML cell lines tested, 5 showed mutations in TP53. Cell lines harboring mutant TP53 were far less sensitive to MDM2 antagonist treatment (P-16 ), which is consistent with previously published data. Genome-wide association between baseline mRNA expression and MDM2 antagonist treatment response (IC50) identified a list of 13 genes that were significantly associated with a P-value of 2.38x10 -47 to 9.56x10 -23 (Supplementary Table 2). Functional annotation indicated that 13 important genes from genome-wide association analysis with correlation coefficients ranging from -0.47 t...

[0288] In vitro test gene expression analysis method

[0289] Messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels at baseline were measured by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and microarray using GeneChipHumanGenomeU133Plus2.0Array before MDM2 antagonist treatment. Gene expression analysis of RNA-seq data is summarized here. First, sequence reads were matched to the reference human genome and to other databases of splice junction fragments derived from known exon positions on the reference genome (Cufflinks software). These matching reads are then combined to produce discrete counts of reads (or bases that determine the sequence) per gene. These gene expression counts were then normalized to equalize the total amount of RNA counts per sample and corrected for gene / transcript length (RPKM). All genes with expression values ​​less than RPKM = 1 in all cell lines were removed (this roughly equates to an expression level of less than one copy of RNA molecule / cell). Next, the normalized gene counts...

Abstract

The present application discloses a method to predict responsiveness of a patient, with cancer, to treatment with an MDM2 antagonist of formulae I, II and III as disclosed herein, said method comprising measuring m RNA expression levels of at least MDM2, preferably of a four gene panel comprising MDM2, XPC, BBC3 and CDKN2A, as a biomarker for predicting the response.

Description

Background technique [0001] The TP53 gene encodes a tumor suppressor protein that plays a key protective role during cancer development. P53 is very important in multicellular organisms, where P53 regulates the cell cycle, thereby serving as a tumor suppressor involved in the prevention of cancer. In addition, P53 is a transcription factor that regulates multiple genes involved in cellular control such as apoptosis, DNA repair and senescence. [0002] Under non-stress conditions, p53 protein levels are controlled by MDM2 (mouse double minichromosome 2) via a negative feedback loop in which MDM2 transcription is driven by p53. MDM2 protein binds to TP53 protein and blocks its activation domain. MDM2 also functions as a p53 ubiquitin ligase that marks p53 for ubiquitin-dependent degradation. [0003] In cells overexpressing MDM2, p53 is inactive, resulting in ineffective growth arrest and apoptosis. Blocking the p53--MDM2 interaction restores p53 function and may be a new ap...
