Drug Name: Doxorubicin
Drug Method: To identify biomarkers for cytotoxic response assessment, microRNAs (miRNAs) associated with doxorubicin sensitivity were determined by combining global miRNA expression profiling with systematic dose-response screens in 15 human DLBCL cell lines. One candidate, miR-34a, was tested in functional in vitro studies and in vivo in a retrospective clinical cohort. High expression of miR-34a was observed in cell lines sensitive to doxorubicin, and upregulation of miR-34a is documented here to increase doxorubicin sensitivity in in vitro lentiviral transduction assays. High expression of miR-34a had a prognostic impact using overall survival as outcome. With risk stratification of DLBCL samples based on resistance gene signatures (REGS), doxorubicin-responsive samples had statistically significant upregulated miR-34a expression. Classification of the DLBCL samples into subset-specific B cell-associated gene signatures (BAGS) revealed differentiation-specific expression of miR-34a. Our data further support FOXP1 as a target of miR-34a, suggesting that downregulation of FOXP1 may sensitize DLBCL cells to doxorubicin.
