Final Program Feb. 27, 2014 Drug Screening
Feb. 27, 2014 Drug Screening : from Phenotypes to Molecular Modeling Final Program Drug Screening : from Phenotypes to Molecular Modeling 1 Feb. 27, 2014 Drug Screening : from Phenotypes to Molecular Modeling Welcome to the first Rhône-Alpes meeting promoting the chemical biology topic : «Drug Screening : from Phenotypes to Molecular Modeling» A few time ago Dr. Ronald Frank, Coordinator of the EU-OPENSCREEN European project wrote : «Why investigate the biological effects of chemical substances? Chemical substances can kill bacteria (but also man!), can block the spread of viruses, hinder the growth of cancer cells, protect plant growth, and many more things. Nature has produced a virtually infinite variety of molecules in environments ranging from the depths of the oceans, to rain forests, to natural oil sources. Additionally, chemists have been continuing to develop novel, artificial compounds. This has produced an immense reservoir of potential drugs that might, for instance, prevent or treat diseases – if only scientists could determine the various effects of these many substances. Across the world, scientists are seeking substances that can solve particular health challenges in a targeted way. This is taking place in private and public laboratories that have, so far, worked mainly in an isolated manner. Only joining forces and overcoming this fragmentation will allow us to learn everything we can about each substance –to understand the mechanisms behind its activity and to recognize potential hazardous effects as early as possible» Chemical Biology is an evolving interdisciplinary research field that studies biological processes using chemical techniques and tools. Chemical entities are introduced into biological systems as nonnatural building blocks, tags, enzyme substrates or ligands (binders); they then selectively modify cellular target molecules to become activated, inhibited or labelled for removal (pull-down) or visualisation. One major focus is on developing chemical substances to be used as probes that interact with defined sites on the surfaces of target cellular molecules, such as proteins, and thereby selectively modulate their biological function. When applied to cells or organisms, the consequences of this perturbation, such as proliferation, differentiation, death etc., are studied in molecular detail. Such chemical probes help scientists to reveal the exact role of cellular components in the complex network of cellular processes and responses. Simultaneously, the value of a compound as potential effective reagent and future product is made apparent. Today we are pleased to welcome in Villeurbanne, France about 80 participants from very different fields belonging to chemistry, cell biology, physical chemistry, etc. We hope that this meeting will help them in discussing their research projects and, hopefully, construct new collaboratives ideas for the best of the chemical biology development in the Rhône-Alpes Region.

Recently, we have been able to quantitatively reconstruct the complete binding process of several molecular systems in terms of binding poses, kinetics, affinities and pathways of binding. The methodology is based on performing high-throughput molecular dynamics simulations of free ligand binding with the aim of recovering binding poses with accuracy of less than 2 Å RMSD compared to crystal structures and associated kinetics. Furthermore we obtain secondary binding sites which can be of importance fragment based drug design approaches. We assess in this talk the current capabilities of the methodology and its accuracy and precision on a set of protein-ligand systems which demonstrate the potential for drug design.

Despite huge investments Pharmaceutical industry productivity is decreasing. Better understanding of the biological mechanisms and innovation is probably one key for future success. After decades of target-based screening, more biology-integrated assays like phenotypic screening could be a valuable approach. In a second part, an example of phenotypic screening to find anti-fibrotic compounds for treating chronic kidney disease (CKD) will be presented. CKD is a major public health problem mainly causes by diabetes and hypertension. A common feature of these CKD is the fibrotic status which settles down progressively over years. Using a high-content screening approach, renal fibroblast treated by TGFβ1, a major fibrotic factor, clearly induced a fibrotic response based on the increase of extracellular matrix deposition, fibroblast differentiation, and proliferation. These effects are blocked, in dose dependent manner, by an Alk5 inhibitor. 51K compounds were screened at 3 µM using this four colour assay. 47 compounds, not toxic, were founded to block, in dose dependent manner, the three fibrotic parameters all together induced by TGFβ1. 21 compounds distributed into 6 families (≥ 2 hits) and 26 singletons displaying IC50 values from >30µM to 0.1µM. Activity of these 47 hits was confirmed by qPCR on Fibronectin1 and Acta2 genes, indicating that the compounds do not act through post translational modification of fibronectin and αSMA. In order to check the activity of compounds in a human fibroblastic context, MRC5 cells treated with TGFβ1 were incubated with the 47 hits. qPCR analyses performed on fibronectin1, acta2, collagen Iα1 and collagen IVα1, showed that 11 hits were still able to block in human cells the induction by TGFβ1 on these four genes. Interestingly some of these hits did not block the TGFβ1 binding or TGFβ receptor kinase activities. These data support the fact that a phenotypic screening can deliver innovating hits that act on conserved TGFβ1 pathways without directly involving the TGFβ receptors. In a third part, slides about Inventiva a new Partnering Research Company (PRO) will be presented. Communications Drug Screening : from Phenotypes to Molecular Modeling 10 Using NMR and molecular dynamics as a microscope for life science. Application to the determination of protein-‐ligand affinity Olivier WALKER Institut des Sciences Analytiques, 5 rue de la Doua, 69100 Villeurbane, France Molecular interactions are of prime importance to ensure communication within cells. Capturing theses processes requires the use of a method sensitive to both structure and dynamics at an atomic level. As a suitable method, NMR can probe dynamics processes in the liquid state through observables averaged over different time scales. To fill the gap, CPU accelerated molecular dynamics (MD) can provide a valuable piece of information to interpret and decipher NMR data. Through different examples, we will see how NMR, MD and funnel metadynamics(1,2) can help to understand protein-‐ligand interactions and affinity.

However current probes usually suffer from a lack of robustness (false positive signal), from swift degradation by photobleaching, and from poor sensitivity which makes them unsuitable for precise enzymatic activity localization.[1] To overcome the above mentioned problems, we have developed three-component fluorogenic probes which allow very precise and sensitive localization of a specific active enzyme by releasing a unique solid-state fluorophore (Figure 1). Figure 2 : Imaging Leucine Amino Figure 1 : Principle of the three-component probes Peptidase in HeLa cells (25 µM for 2 h) [2] This phenolic fluorophore, known as ELF-97 alcohol, is only fluorescent in solid state, possesses an unusually large Stokes shift, is totally photostable, and can be turned off if its phenolic proton is replaced by another group. However, this compound has not been widely used because of the instability of the chemical link between the fluorophore and the enzyme-susceptible portion of the probe. We have overcome this issue by incorporating a smart spacer ensuring complete probe stability. After catalytic cleavage, a metastable intermediate is generated that cyclizes thereby releasing the fluorophore (Figure 1). The simple four-step synthesis[3] allowed us to create a variety of fluorogenic probes incorporating several spacers, fluorophores, and enzyme-susceptible trigger units. The resulting constructs were first characterized in vitro against their specific purified enzymes, and the most promising ones tested in cellulo. Thus, we were able to tag HeLa cells expressing LecuineAminoPeptidase (Figure 2) with micrograins of fluorescent solid.[4] References: [1] E. Boonacker, C. J.F. Van Noorden J. Histochem.

By use of combination of structural biology study, docking and traditional medicinal chemistry, several members of this novel class were synthesized using single electron transfer chain process (radical nucleophilic substitution, SRN1) and were found to be potent against wildtype HIV-1 reverse transcriptase, with low cytotoxicity but with moderate activity against resistant drug-resistant strains. One promising compound DFMB2 showed a significant EC50 value close to 6.4 nM against wild-type IIIB, a moderate EC50 value close to 54 µM against resistant double mutant (K103N + Y181C) but an excellent selectivity index > 15477 (CC50 > 100 µM) (Figure 1) [1]. Figure 1. Difluoromethylbenzoxazole (DFMB) pyrimidine thioethers as novel NNRTIs Optimisation of these molecules toward activity on NNRTI-resistant HIV are now being pursued, with other modifications on the benzoxazole and pyrimidine rings based on our structural biology, current and new antiviral data and new molecular docking studies.

High Content Screening (HCS) has enabled great advances both in oncology and biology. It consists in visualizing phenotypes modification of cells after perturbation. This perturbation is generally achieved either by chemical compounds or RNA interference in a highly parallel manner (in 384 well-plates for example). HCS experiments produce huge amount of data, typically tables of millions of rows and tens of columns; each row corresponding to a cell whose phenotype is characterized with different metrics (each column). After analysis, hits, which are the biggest modifiers of the cell phenotype, are extracted. A method of choice, Zscore, which averages the fluorescence for each cell modified by a given compound, has proven great efficiency when fluorescence is used to monitor the phenotype. However it faces a few drawbacks: 1. Zscore is very sensitive to artifacts (aberrant fluorescence of just one cell will affect the score) 2. Low cell number for a given treatment will strongly increase Zscore variability 3. Zscore is associated to a pValue only when fluorescence distribution is Gaussian In situations where the consequences of perturbation are strong and overtake such “artifacts”, Zscore find hits with a low False Discovery Rate. However in conditions closer to the physiological reality (such as rare cells or cells from patient), one need to overcome these pitfalls. Thus, in an attempt to improve the potential of discovery of HCS, we developed a so called Gscore, which is based on the rank of the fluorescence and takes into account the number of cells in a given treatment with an appropriate model. I will show the advantages of the score compared to the widely used Zscore in various situations using virtual screen and real screening data, including a screen of gene knock-down reagents (druggable collection, targeting more than 7000 genes).

Heterocyclic analogs 12 and 2 having thiophenes or benzo[b]thiophenes instead of B ring were prepared and evaluated for their in cellulo tubulin polymerization inhibition3 and their antiproliferative activities. The presence of the sulfur benzoheterocycle proved to have a crucial effect since all the thiophene derivatives were not active. The influence of the attachment position will also be presented: benzo[b]thiophenes having iso-vinylene (i.e. isocombretastatin analogs) or cis-methylene 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzenes at position 2 were more active than the 3-regioisomers. 3 2 MeO MeO A B OMe CA-4 OH OMe 3 MeO OMe S MeO OMe 1 2 S MeO OMe 2 1 Pettit, G.

University of Southern California, Department of Chemistry, 3620 McClintock Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90089-1062 USA C. albicans is the most prevalent human fungal pathogen and is responsible for the most deaths. With only four drug classes available to treat invasive fungal infection, there is an urgent need to find new therapeutic agent, to overcome the emergence of drug-resistant strains, problems related to the toxicity and narrow activity spectrum of existing drug. Bromodomain proteins are chromatin-associated factors that regulate gene transcription and chromatin remodelling. They recognize short peptides acetylated on lysine residues, and are involved in many processes like cancer development, infection and reproduction. Recently, several efforts of academic groups and biopharmaceutical companies have led to the discovery of several potent and selective human bromodomain inhibitors, with promising outcomes in cancers and human pathologies. This project explores the functional role of bromodomain proteins in C. albicans, and their potential as therapeutic targets. We investigate their role in C. albicans biology, and develop an ambitious program to identify yeast-specific bromodomain inhibitors. . Title : STLC-‐resistant cell lines as tools to classify chemically divergent Eg5 targeting agents according to their mode of action and target specificity Isabel Garcia-‐Saez, Salvatore DeBonis, Rose-‐Laure Indorato, Françoise Lacroix, Dimitrios Skoufias Institut de Biologie Structurale, UMR5075 (CNRS-‐CEA-‐UJF). Grenoble 38027, France The microtubule based kinesin Eg5, also known as KIF11, has been recognized as a valid target for the development of new class of anti-‐mitotic inhibitors targeting components of the mitotic spindle with a potential cancer chemotherapeutic value (1). To date, a number of chemically distinct small molecules targeting different binding pockets of Eg5 protein are under evaluation in clinical trials with better responses achieved when hematological malignancies were targeted. One of the Eg5 inhibitors, ARRY-‐520 is set to enter late-‐stage clinical testing in several hundred human patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. We have been addressing the issue of specificity and resistance to Eg5 inhibitors and in particular to S-‐Trityl_L-‐Cysteine (STLC) that we have previously identified based on enzymatic screening. Based on the structure of the STLC-‐Eg5 complex, we have been successful in developing drug resistant cell lines as tools to classify chemically divergent Eg5 targeting agents according to their mode of action and target specificity (2,3). We have also identified Eg5 mutants encountered in a number of selected drug resistant clones of colon carcinoma tumor cells and we are carrying out structure activity studies in one of such mutant. Interestingly, this mutation, instead of being localized in the known allosteric drug-‐binding pocket of Eg5, is in the nucleotide-‐binding site. Our current biochemical data coupled with cell-‐based assays support the hypothesis that the mutant, in the absence of the inhibitor, is in a rigor state (high friction mode) and free of nucleotide. When the mutant is expressed in cells, heavily crosslinked MTs are formed. Strikingly, the MT bundles are released in the presence of the inhibitor. The drug resistant cell lines can therefore be used as a filter to distinguish Eg5 loop L5 binding drugs without prior structural information. Additionally, the cells can be used to analyze whether inhibitors of Eg5 are specific to this potential drug target or whether they bind to additional protein targets in dividing cells. One additional outcome of our results is the proposal of a double hit strategy for the same target protein, e.g. an exposure of tumor cells to a combination of ATP competitive and an ATP uncompetitive Eg5 targeting drugs as a possible treatment strategy to minimize or slow the development of drug resistance due to mutations in one of the drug binding sites.

Our objective is to develop new anti-virulence molecules targeting FUR protein (Ferric Uptake Regulator), a global transcriptional regulator that senses iron status and controls the expression of genes involved in iron homeostasis, virulence and oxidative stress. Ubiquitous in Gram negative bacteria (and in some Gram positive) and absent in eukaryotes, FUR is an interesting anti-virulence target, as iron acquisition is one of the major virulence determinants of bacteria through synthesis and secretion of siderophores and toxins. Moreover, the inactivation of fur gene in various pathogens leads to decrease of their virulence [1]. By applying peptide aptamers technology we identified four molecules (F1-F4) interacting with E. coli FUR and able to decrease pathogenic E. coli strain virulence in a fly infection model [2]. These combinatory molecules are constituted from variable 13-aminoacid peptide loop attached at both ends to a scaffold protein (thioredoxin A from E. coli). Furthemore, the aptamer F4 was shown to interact with FUR proteins from other pathogens in yeast two-hybrid assay. We performed the high-throughput screening of 17,680 chemical compounds from Prestwick and ChemBridge libraries, applying an automated luminescence LexA-based yeast two-hybrid test, in order to identify molecules able to disrupt FUR-peptide aptamer complex and interact with FUR from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Fransicella tularensis and E. coli. We suppose that peptide aptamers and small molecules binding to the same molecular surface on FUR protein should trigger the same biological effects, and thus such small molecules will be potential inhibitors of FUR protein. From Prestwick library one compound active on the FUR from Pseudomonas aeruginosa was identified. Upon analysis of hits from ChemBridge library we retained 33 compounds with good specificity profile (i.e. molecules that produced inhibitions of unrelated protein-protein interaction were discarded). The in-vitro and in-vivo studies of FUR proteins inhibition by selected compounds are in progress and results will be presented. [1] Wang et al., Vaccine 27, 2009 [2] Abed, N. et al.

When the mutant is expressed in cells, heavily crosslinked MTs are formed. Strikingly, the MT bundles are released in the presence of the inhibitor. The drug resistant cell lines can therefore be used as a filter to distinguish Eg5 loop L5 binding drugs without prior structural information. Additionally, the cells can be used to analyze whether inhibitors of Eg5 are specific to this potential drug target or whether they bind to additional protein targets in dividing cells. One additional outcome of our results is the proposal of a double hit strategy for the same target protein, e.g. an exposure of tumor cells to a combination of ATP competitive and an ATP uncompetitive Eg5 targeting drugs as a possible treatment strategy to minimize or slow the development of drug resistance due to mutations in one of the drug binding sites.

Screening for bioactive molecules at the CMBA platform Emmanuelle Soleilhac1, Caroline Barette1, Magda Mortier1, Catherine Pillet1, Laurence Lafanechère2 et Marie-Odile Fauvarque1 1 Université Grenoble-Alpes, F-38000 Grenoble; CEA-DSV-iRTSV-BGE-Gen&Chem-CMBA, F38054 Grenoble; INSERM, U1038, F-38054 Grenoble, France. 2 Institut Albert Bonniot, CRI, INSERM/Université Grenoble-Alpes U823, équipe Polarité, développement et cancer, F-38706 La Tronche Cedex, France. Bioactive molecules are chemicals modifying the activity of a biological target in vitro or in vivo. Such molecules are critical for both drug discovery and the development of chemical tools to study protein function in a temporal and putatively reversible manner. On the one hand, molecules selected from biochemical or enzymatic in vitro assays are used to disrupt full, or part, of protein activity. On the other hand, phenotypic screening based on in cellulo assays greatly enhances the probability to select molecule active in a living organism. Moreover, subsequent determination of their target can provide new information on proteins and signalling pathways regulating physiological or pathological processes such as cell growth and differentiation, inflammation, cancerogenesis… The CMBA screening platform is an open facility managing about 30,000 compounds which helps in developing robust miniaturized assays and performs large scale automated screens (HTS). The CMBA also develops high content analysis (HCA) of complex cell phenotypes by automated microscopy. This methodology is typically used for the high content screening (HCS) of small collection of structurally or functionally related molecules. Beside our activity of service, we aim at searching for molecules specifically interfering with members of the deubiquitinating enzymes family (DUBs) which mutations are associated with various diseases including chronic inflammation, cancer and neurodegeneration. To date, most of the hundred known DUBs have unknown substrates and only a handle of molecules targeting DUBs have been published. We address this issue by combining genetics, cell biology and chemogenomics approaches. Ongoing collaborative projects at the CMBA platform Caroline Barette1, Emmanuelle Soleilhac1, Magda Mortier1, Catherine Pillet1, Stéphane Ségard2, Céline Charavay2, Marie-Odile Fauvarque1 and collaborators 1 Université Grenoble-Alpes, F-38000 Grenoble; CEA-DSV-iRTSV-BGE-Gen&Chem-CMBA, F38054 Grenoble; INSERM, U1038, F-38054 Grenoble, France. 2 Université Grenoble-Alpes, F-38000 Grenoble; CEA-DSV-iRTSV-BGE-GIPSE, F-38054 Grenoble; INSERM, U1038, F-38054 Grenoble, France. This poster will briefly present ongoing screening projects with members of academic (or private) laboratories. It will emphasize the fact that CMBA activity covers a large number of different research fields in BioEnergy, Plant cell biology, Cancer or Infectiology (anti-bacterial, anti-viral or antifungal). In these projects, members of the platform provide their expertise in the setting of extremely various kinds of experimental in vitro or in cellulo assays adapted for HTS (High-Throughput Screening) or HCS (High-Content Screening). In addition, data analysis takes advantage of an inhouse computing program, called TAMIS, that has been developed in close partnership with the GIPSE. Magnetogenic small-‐molecule probes for the detection of (bio-‐)chemical analytes Fayçal Touti, Jacek Kolanowksi, Corentin Gondrand, Jens Hasserodt Chemistry Laboratory, University of Lyon – ENS, Lyon, France Binary ferrous complexes can be made to respond to an analyte exercising a chemical or catalytic reactivity by [1] changing their electronic spin from zero to two. This effectively results in the sample developing a significant magnetic susceptibility by an off-‐on mode. Our new line of magnetogenic probes operate at physiological conditions [2] (water and pH 7), an important advance also in the field of coordination chemistry. Their binary response (total conversion) relies on the sping-‐loaded quality of their aminal-‐based pendant arm, i.e. in an energy-‐rich molecular moiety whose fragmentation is inhibited by a blocking group on its periphery that can react with the targeted chemical analyte. We have demonstrated this to work with a chemical reactant (H2, Pd/C), and two enzymes: penicillin [2] amidase and nitroreductase. We also present for the first time a new pair of bispidine ferrous complexes that have [3] a true magnetic off-‐on relationship and that will serve for the design of an alternative magnetogenic probe system. We are in fact the first to report a low-‐spin iron(II) complex (four in total) based on the bispidine platform. [1] (a) J. Hasserodt; J. L. Kolanowski; F.

Box 151150, D-66041 Saarbrücken, Germany Protein kinases are key regulators of cell signaling and their inhibition is one of the major interesting axes in the research for new cancer treatments. Casein Kinase 2 (CK2) is involved in numerous cell pathways that promote cell survival, enhance anti-apoptotic signals, support the neovascularization and stabilize the oncokinome. Moreover cancer cells are considered as “CK2addict” as a high level of CK2 expression is correlated with a bad prognosis for patients.1 For all these reasons, CK2 is an important target for the development of new cancer chemotherapies. CK2 is a unique and ubiquitous protein kinase composed of two catalytic (α or/and α’) and two regulatory (β) subunits. CK2α is constitutively active but the complex with CK2β changes the in vitro and in vivo substrate selectivity. Live cell imaging studies have demonstrated that both subunits can move independently within living cells. Their dynamic association or dissociation is a key element in the regulation of CK2-dependent cell pathway: an unbalanced expression of α and β subunits have been observed in a large variety of tumor cells. A large number of studies underlined the importance of the β regulatory subunit for cell viability, embryonic development, epithelial to mesenchymal transition.2 An effective inhibitor of the α/β interaction is also necessary to further investigate the in vivo role of the β subunit. A cyclic peptide was previously described as the first β antagonist but no in cellulo efficiency was observed.3 By using a virtual screening approach, followed by medicinal chemistry work and completed with mechanistic studies, the first small molecule inhibitor of the α/β protein/protein interaction was identified.

NAD biosynthesis in prokaryotes: A Target for antibacterial agents Debora Reichmann, Alice Chan, Olivier Hamelin, Caroline Barette, Sandrine Ollagnier de Choudens Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an essential cofactor playing a crucial role in several biological redox reactions1. In the NAD biosynthesis a common precursor exists among all organisms, the quinolinc acid (QA). Interestingly the pathway to generate QA differs between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In most eukaryotes and some bacteria the degradation of tryptophan occurs whereas in prokaryotes and plants L-aspartate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) are involved. First, L-aspartate is converted by the Laspartate oxidase NadB (flavoprotein) to iminoaspartate (IA) followed by a condensation reaction with DHAP to form QA, carried out by the quinolinate synthase NadA. In addition to this de novo pathway most organisms are able to use a salvage pathway where NAD is recycled. In contrast, for two pathogens Mycobacterium leprae and Heliobacter pylori no such salvage pathway exists2. Therefore in these pathogens, proteins in the de novo pathway are interesting targets for antibacterical agents. The quest for an inhibitor, efficiently in vivo and in vitro, included high throughput screenings (HTS) and chemical production of product analogs. The results obtained for both approaches will be presented. The inhibitor 4,5dithiohydroxyphthalic acid (DTHPA) was found to inactivate NadA both in vitro and in vivo3. 1 Begley T.P. et al., Vitam.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that 170 million people are infected worldwide. The current therapeutical treatments consist of a combination of pegylated interferon alpha (peg-IFN) and Ribavirin (RBV). Unfortunately, the response rate is low, especially among patients infected by HCV genotype 1, the most frequent genotype. The HCV RNA-dependent RNA polymerase NS5B constitutes an interesting target because of its key role in viral replication and being not functional in mammalian cells.We recently identified through a screening process that the naturally occurring 2benzylidenebenzofuran-3-ones, namely (aurones) as new inhibitors of NS5B. The aurone active site, identified by site-directed mutagenesis, is located in Thumb Pocket I of HCV RdRp. Molecular docking studies were used to determine how aurones bind to NS5B and to predict their range of inhibitory activity. Several aurones were found to have potent inhibitory effects on HCV RdRp, with excellent selectivity index (inhibition activity versus cellular cytotoxicity). More very recent promising results obtained on aurones dimers will be presented. The potent NS5B inhibitory activity combined with their low toxicity make aurones attractive drug candidates against HCV infection.

Contact imaging plate reader for parallelized time-lapse screening Vincent Haguet1,2,3, Itebeddine Ghorbel1,2,3, Xavier Gidrol1,2,3 1 CEA, DSV, iRTSV, BGE, 17 rue des Martyrs, 38054 Grenoble Cedex 9, France INSERM, U1038, Grenoble, France 3 UJF-Grenoble 1, Grenoble, France 2 We developed a small-size plate reader providing time-lapse microscopy of live cell cultures in a standard microtiter plate to achieve screens of cells inside a CO2 incubator. The imaging instrument is based on a contact imaging architecture, i.e., the image of cells is numerically recorded by an image sensor placed under the sample, in the absence of any intermediary objective or other optical part. An array of 96 image sensors were arranged on a printed circuit board so that each well of a flat-bottomed 96-well microtiter plate can be imaged by the image sensor placed underneath (Figure 1). The resulting images of the cultures are 2.8x2.1-mm large with 1.75-µm pixel-size resolution, which offers a very large field of view of the cells with a ~10x magnification. Time-lapse image acquisitions of cell cultures reveal dynamics of cell behavior, such as the number of cells as well as the position and shape of every cell at every time point. Screening the evolution of these parameters allows investigating the dynamic effect of drugs or the environment on cellular mechanisms, optimizing the culture conditions, as well as potentially uncovering previously unknown behavior of the cell line. We recently realized with the plate reader a test screen for cell migrations using 96 wound healing assays (Figure 2). Dynamics of the wound closures were obtained by parallelized timelapse contact imaging microscopy and specifically developed automated image analysis. The performance of global segmentation was validated on a set of images showing wounds in confluent epithelial cell cultures. Automated wound localization was compared with manual segmentation performed by seven cell biology experts by determining the root-mean-square error between the segmented interfaces and region-oriented analysis. Evaluations of intra and interbiologist variabilities showed that automated segmentations are as accurate and robust as the cell biologist’s ones. B A Figure 1.

Curien, 43 Bd du 11 Novembre 1918, 69622 Villeurbanne Cedex, France, email : [email protected], website : www.icbms.fr/chimiotheque The compound library aims to create added scientific value at the interface of chemistry and biology from the wealth of chemically diverse compounds produced by the department laboratories in the course of their research. It was created in 2001 and offers a collection of nearly 3000 organic compounds with high structural diversity and drug like properties1, most of them not being purchasable through chemicals suppliers. They are available in solid form or as DMSO solutions, formatted in standard 96-well microplates suitable for manual or automated screening. Our work consists of collecting compounds from synthetic chemistry groups (mainly ICBMS and ISPB, Institut des Sciences Pharmaceutiques et Biologiques de Lyon) and find collaborations with both academic and industrial partners interested in particular biological targets to screen the library. Promising hit compounds can lead to new pharmacological tools or future drug candidates through structure optimization process, molecular modeling and analogues synthesis. Référence: 1 1. C.A.

Alternative splicing and resistance to cancer targeted therapies Benoit-Pilven C.1,*, Rey A.1,*, Tranchevent LC.1, Mortada H.1 , Chautard E.1 , Neil-Bernet H.1 , Corbo L.1 , Eymin B.2 , and Auboeuf D.1 1 2 Cancer Research Centre of Lyon, Lyon, France Institut Albert Bonniot, Grenoble, France Targeted therapies are commonly used to treat cancer but they often fail due to resistance to the treatment of some tumours. Resistance can happen via different mechanisms, and alternative splicing appears to be one of them. Indeed, alternative splicing is the process of creating distinct proteins from a single gene, and recent reports indicate that therapeutic targets often produce isoforms that do not respond to the targeted therapy. We propose to better define the role of alternative splicing in cancer drug resistance with a systems biology approach and experimental validations on breast and lung cancer cell lines. The main objectives are to develop a computational method that will help users to analyse the role of alternative splicing of therapeutic targets in resistance and to develop a proof-of-concept in cancer cell lines by predicting which cell lines exhibit de novo resistance to a given treatment, owing to alternative splicing. The first outcome is a web interface freely available for users to analyse the therapeutic target variants up to the protein level to assess the effect of splicing on protein domains and therefore on function. Another outcome is an experimentally validated method to predict which cell lines are resistant to which treatment. This represents a first step towards the development of more advanced methods that will take into account all possible alterations observed in human cancers in order to refine the population stratification for clinical trials and possibly in the future modify the way cancer is treated with multiple targeted therapies.
