From: Drug sensitivity in cancer cell lines is not tissue-specific
Tissue specificity displayed by caner-specific drugs. (A) Sensitivity of cancer-specific drugs intended for breast cancer (41), colorectal cancer (24) and prostate cancer (38) across the NCI-60 panel covering 59 cancer cell lines derived from nine cancer tissues. The GI50 represents the negative log of the concentration that is required to inhibit the growth of a cell line by 50%. Each box represents the distribution of drug activities in a given cell line. Cell lines are organized in tissue slots. In red, we highlight the cell lines representing the intended tissue of the drugs. (B) Breast cancer subtype-specific analysis. Stratification of targeted agents according to the different breast cancer subtypes. Note that agents might be used for more than one subtype. (C) Sensitivity of HR-positive and triple negative breast cancer drugs with respect to subtype-specific breast cancer cell lines. Red indicates high drug activity while green indicates inactivity for a given cell line.
