Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) directly deliver chemotherapeutic agents into tumor cells based on unique cancer cell biomarkers. A pan-cancer tissue microarray (TMA) data set and gene panel were validated and gene signature analyses were conducted on normal and cancer tissues to refine selection of ADC targets. Correlation of mRNA and protein levels, and human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) expression patterns were assessed. An EdgeSeq biomarker panel (2862 genes) was used across 8531 samples (23 solid cancer types/subtypes; 16 normal tissues) with an established TMA data set, and immune cell and cell cycle gene signatures were analyzed. Discriminating gene expression signatures were defined based on pathological classification of cancer subtypes. Correlative analyses of HER2 and HER3 mRNA (EdgeSeq) and protein expression (immunohistochemistry [IHC]) were performed and compared with publicly available data (The Cancer Genome Atlas [TCGA]; Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia [CCLE]). Gene expression patterns among cancer types in the TMA (EdgeSeq) and TCGA (RNA-seq) were similar. EdgeSeq gene signature analyses aligned with the majority of pathological cancer types/subtypes and identified cancer-specific gene expression patterns. TMA IHC H-scores for HER3 varied across cancer types/subtypes. In a few cancer types, HER3 mRNA and protein expression did not align, including lower liver hepatocellular carcinoma IHC H-score, compared with mRNA. Although all TNBC and ovarian cancer subtypes expressed mRNA, some had lower protein expression. This was seen in TMA and TCGA data sets, but not in CCLE. The EdgeSeq TMA data set can expand upon current biomarker data by including cancers not currently in TCGA. The primary analysis of EdgeSeq and IHC comparison suggested a unique protein-level regulation of HER3 in some tumor subtypes and highlights the importance of investigating protein levels of ADC targets in both tumor and normal tissues.", "claims": [{"id": "claim-method", "statement": "Correlations (R) between each sample data and an average of universal RNA (uRNA) gene expression levels were calculated from 89 samples that passed the sequencing filter.", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:36137139", "locator": "sections[6] \"EdgeSeq data processing\" paragraph 2", "quote": "Correlations (R) between each sample data and an average of universal RNA (uRNA) gene expression levels were calculated from 89 samples that passed the sequencing filter."}], "state": "complete"}, {"id": "claim-data-access", "statement": "All relevant data are within the paper and its Supporting Information files.", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:36137139", "locator": "sections[20] \"Data Availability\" paragraph 2", "quote": "All relevant data are within the paper and its Supporting Information files."}], "state": "complete"}], "gaps": []}, "experiment": {"state": "partial", "objective": "", "steps": [{"id": "read_published_estimate", "order": 1, "name": "Read the published estimate from the source", "kind": "other", "state": "complete", "blocked_on": null, "description": "The claim, method and evidence span published with the source article.", "duration_hours": null, "parameters": {}, "inputs": ["source:pmid:36137139"], "outputs": ["the published estimate and its evidence"], "instruments": [], "reagents": []}, {"id": "obtain_source_data", "order": 2, "name": "Obtain the source data from the named repository", "kind": "data-preparation", "state": "blocked", "blocked_on": "data:accession_absent", "description": "The GEO series accession resolves and its sample accessions are listed.
