Comprehensive transcriptomic analysis of molecularly targeted drugs in cancer for target pathway evaluation.

(Last updated: 09/13/2019)

This website provides cancer researchers gene expression database and related analysis tools to evaluate potential mode-of-action of chemical compounds in comparison with clinically-used anticancer agents The website is provided by Screening Committee of Anticancer Drugs (SCADS) in Scientific Support Programs for Cancer Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan.

[I] JFCR_LinCAGE (database of link between chemotherapeutic agents and gene expression)

Human colon adenocarcinoma HT-29 cells were treated with anticancer compounds at various concentrations for 6 or 16 h. Gene expression changes were analyzed with GeneChip Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (Affymetrix).

Clustering of compounds

Hierarchical cluster analysis based on the collection of gene signatures of 83 anticancer compounds (129 treatment samples). In total 4869 probe sets were used for clustering. The values in the heatmap are the logarithm of sample-to-control ratio of intensity values. Neither normalizing nor scaling was performed. Up- and down-regulated genes are colored in red and green, respectively.

[II] Connectivity scoring analysis

Based on our gene expression data of anticancer agents and the C-map algorithm (Lamb et al. 2006), we provide this calculation program (connectivity scoring analysis) to compare gene signatures of test compounds to those of antitumor agents in our database for prediction of their likely modes of action.
