Painting with a molecular brush: genomic/proteomic interfacing to define the drug action profile of novel solid-tumor selective anticancer agents.

    XK469 is an investigational anticancer agent that exhibits antiproliferative activity in tumor-bearing animal models. We examined the drug-action profile of this agent at the molecular level regarding alterations induced in gene expression and proteins in HCT-116 human colon adenocarcinoma cells. We used a unique cDNA microarray (GeneMap(TM) Cancerarray) comprising 1152 human tumor-related genes and 2-D gel electrophoresis, respectively, following a 24-hour exposure to a drug concentration that killed a two-log fraction of HCT-116 clonogenic cells. Functional gene cluster profile (FGCP) analysis of the 71 out of 1152 genes that displayed a >2-fold increase or decrease in expression (over untreated control) identified a drug-specific involvement of the MAPK signal transduction pathway. MAPK signaling together with the involvement of ubiquitin proteins from 2-D gel electrophoresis suggest a novel drug-action profile at the molecular level for the in vitro antiproliferative activity of XK469.
