Predicting Cellular Drug Sensitivity using Conditional Modulation of Gene Expression

Show abstract
Selecting drugs most effective against a tumors specific transcriptional signature is an important challenge in precision medicine. To assess oncogenic therapy options, cancer cell lines are dosed with drugs that can differentially impact cellular viability. Here we show that basal gene expression patterns can be conditioned by learned small molecule structure to better predict cellular drug sensitivity, achieving an R2 of 0.7190{+/-}0.0098 (a 5.61% gain). We find that 1) transforming gene expression values by learned small molecule representations outperforms raw feature concatenation, 2) small molecule structural features meaningfully contribute to learned representations, and 3) an affine transformation best integrates these representations. We analyze conditioning parameters to determine how small molecule representations modulate gene expression embeddings. This ongoing work formalizes in silico cellular screening as a conditional task in precision oncology applications that can improve drug selection for cancer treatment.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
