| description | (1) Background: Recent advances in precision oncology research rely on indicating specific genetic alterations associated with treatment sensitivity. Developing ex vivo systems to identify cancer patients who will respond to a specific drug remains important. (2) Methods: cells from 12 patients with glioblastoma were isolated, cultured, and subjected to high-content screening. Multi-parameter analyses assessed the c-Met level, cell viability, apoptosis, cell motility, and migration. A drug repurposing screen and large-scale drug sensitivity screening data across 59 cancer cell lines and patient-derived cells were obtained from 125 glioblastoma samples. (3) Results: High-content analysis of patient-derived cells provided robust and accurate drug responses to c-Met-targeted agents. Only the cells of one glioblastoma patient (PDC6) showed elevated c-Met level and high susceptibility to the c-Met inhibitors. Multi-parameter image analysis also reflected a decreased c-Met expression and reduced cell growth and motility by a c-Met-targeting antibody. In addition, a drug repurposing screen identified Abemaciclib as a distinct CDK4/6 inhibitor with a potent c-Met-inhibitory function. Consistent with this, we present large-scale drug sensitivity screening data showing that the Abemaciclib response correlates with the response to c-Met inhibitors. (4) Conclusions: Our study provides a new insight into high-content screening platforms supporting drug sensitivity prediction and novel therapeutics screening. |
