Description
Summary:The use of various cancer cell lines can recapitulate knowntumor-associated mutations and genetically define cancersubsets. This approach also enables comparative surveys ofassociations between cancer mutations and drug responses.Here, we analyzed the effects of ∼40,000 compounds oncancer cell lines that showed diverse mutation-dependentsensitivity profiles. Over 1,000 compounds exhibited uniquesensitivity on cell lines with specific mutational genotypes,and these compounds were clustered into six different classesof mutation-oriented sensitivity. The present analysis providesnew insights into the relationship between somatic mutationsand selectivity response of chemicals, and these results shouldhave applications related to predicting and optimizing therapeuticwindows for anti-cancer agents.
