Computational modelling of resistance and associated treatment response heterogeneity in metastatic cancers

Physics in Medicine and Biology

Abstract

Metastatic cancer patients invariably develop treatment resistance. Different levels of resistance lead to observed heterogeneity in treatment response. The main goal was to evaluate treatment response heterogeneity with a computation model simulating the dynamics of drug-sensitive and drug-resistant cells. Model parameters included proliferation, drug-induced death, transition and proportion of intrinsically resistant cells. The model was benchmarked with imaging metrics extracted from 39 metastatic prostate cancer patients who had 18F-NaF-PET/CT scans performed at baseline and at three cycles into chemotherapy or hormonal therapy. Two initial model assumptions were evaluated: considering only inter-patient heterogeneity and both inter-patient and intra-patient heterogeneity in the proportion of intrinsically resistant cells. The correlation between the median proportion of intrinsically resistant cells and baseline patient-level imaging metrics was assessed with Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. The impact of model parameters on simulated treatment response was evaluated with a sensitivity study. Treatment response after periods of six, nine, and 12 months was predicted with the model. The median predicted range of res...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
