Across CCLE and GDSC cell-line panels, response to Erlotinib is significantly associated with the shRNA pathway dependency of multiple pathways, with PANCREAS cell lines showing a particularly strong set of associations.
The most reproducible Erlotinib response-associated pathways across cancer lineages are Pyrimidine nucleoside monophosphate biosynthetic process, Nucleoside phosphate catabolic process, and tRNA wobble position uridine thiolation, each associated with drug response in up to 7 lineages. Since the analysis identifies associations rather than directional relationships, both response-to-biomarker and biomarker-to-response views are provided.
Each biomarker is linked to its corresponding Q-omics profile. The scatter plot shows the strongest observed association, Erlotinib response versus Pyrimidine nucleoside monophosphate biosynthetic process shRNA pathway dependency in PANCREAS (Pearson r = 0.42).
