Abstract

Emerging cancer therapies target signaling networks that are overexpressed in cancers. We have developed a phosphoprotein detection panel mapped around the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling cascade using microring resonator arrays. We used the panel to monitor signaling dynamics in response to treatment with targeted therapeutics on xenograft explants of glioblastoma tumors. Distinct phosphoprotein profiles were observed as a function of mutational status of the xenograft samples, and the extent of pathway inhibition was dependent on treatment times. This panel detection technology offers substantially higher throughput than global pathway monitoring techniques, such as mass spectrometry-based proteomics or next generation sequencing.
