Abstract

Identifying reliable drug response biomarkers is a significant challenge in cancer research. We present CARE, a computational method focused on targeted therapies, to infer transcriptomic signatures of drug efficacy from cell line compound screens. CARE outputs genome-wide scores to measure how the drug target gene interacts with other genes to affect drug efficacy in the compound screens. When evaluated using transcriptome data from clinical studies, CARE can predict the therapy outcome better than signatures from other methods. Moreover, the CARE signatures for the BRAF inhibitor are associated with an anti-PD1 clinical response, suggesting a common efficacy signature between targeted therapies and immunotherapies. When searching for genes in lapatinib resistance, CARE identified PRKD3 as the top candidate. PRKD3 inhibition, by both siRNA and compounds, significantly sensitized breast cancer cells to lapatinib. Thus, CARE should enable large-scale inference of response biomarkers and drug combinations for targeted therapies using compound screen data.
