Screening of a kinase inhibitor library identified novel targetable kinase pathways in triple-negative breast cancer
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly invasive breast cancer subtype that is challenging to treat due to inherent heterogeneity and absence of estrogen, progesterone, and human epidermal growth factor 2 receptors. Kinase signaling networks drive cancer growth and development, and kinase inhibitors are promising anti-cancer strategies in diverse cancer subtypes. Kinase inhibitor screens are an efficient, valuable means of identifying compounds that suppress cancer cell growth in vitro, facilitating the identification of kinase vulnerabilities to target therapeutically. The Kinase Chemogenomic Set is a well-annotated library of 187 kinase inhibitor compounds that indexes 215 kinases of the 518 in the known human kinome representing various kinase networks and signaling pathways, several of which are understudied. Our screen revealed 14 kinase inhibitor compounds effectively inhibited TNBC cell growth and proliferation. Upon further testing, three compounds, THZ531, THZ1, and PFE-PKIS 29, had the most significant and consistent effects across a range of TNBC cell lines. These cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)12/CDK13, CDK7, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitors, respectively, decreased metabolic activity in TNBC cell lines and promote a gene expression profile consistent with the reversal of the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, indicating these kinase networks potentially mediate metastatic behavior. These data identified novel kinase targets and kinase signaling pathways that drive metastasis in TNBC.

Direct model labels (unvalidated)
Per-model category and study-design labels from the labeling rounds. They are machine output, unvalidated, and the disagreement between models ships as data. No study design here is MEDLINE-validated yet.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedLabeled directly by 2 models reading the full record.
