Phenotypic deconvolution in heterogeneous cancer cell populations using drug-screening data

Alvaro Köhn-Luque

Résumé

Tumor heterogeneity is an important driver of treatment failure in cancer since therapies often select for drug -tolerant or drug-resistant cellular subpopulations that drive tumor growth and recurrence. Profiling the drug -response heterogeneity of tumor samples using traditional genomic deconvolution methods has yielded limited results, due in part to the imperfect mapping between genomic variation and functional characteris-tics. Here, we leverage mechanistic population modeling to develop a statistical framework for profiling phenotypic heterogeneity from standard drug-screen data on bulk tumor samples. This method, called PhenoPop, reliably identifies tumor subpopulations exhibiting differential drug responses and estimates their drug sensitivities and frequencies within the bulk population. We apply PhenoPop to synthetically generated cell populations, mixed cell-line experiments, and multiple myeloma patient samples and demonstrate how it can provide individualized predictions of tumor growth under candidate therapies. This methodology can also be applied to deconvolution problems in a variety of biological settings beyond cancer drug response.
