The information on CD95 cell type of the NCI60 cell lines (Fig. 3A) was used in a compare analysis against the NCI anticancer drug-screen database of >42,000 compounds to identify compounds with patterns of growth inhibition that correlated with either type I or type II cells. Results for five of the actin-binding compounds (Act 1-5) that came up in the search with total growth inhibition as endpoint and results for five of the tubulin-binding compounds (Tub 1-5) that came up in the search with 50% growth inhibition as endpoint are shown. Cell lines that were less sensitive than the mean (across all 22 cell lines) are denoted by a minus (-), and cell lines that were more sensitive than the mean are designated by a plus (+). Cell lines not differing from the mean are indicated by an o. nd, not determined. Act1, NSC 112167, cucurbitacin I; Act2, NSC 94743, cucurbitacin A; Act3, NSC 112166, cucurbitacin K; Act4, NSC 681481, jasplakinolide analog; Act5, NSC 606195, dolastatin 11; Tub1, NSC 666608, Taxol analog; Tub2, NSC 658831, Taxol analog; Tub3, NSC 650773, combretastatin analog; Tub4, NSC 666606, Taxol analog; Tub5, NSC 659853, 2-methoxyestradiol. P values (two-tailed) were not corrected for numbers of compounds in the database. M conc., mean of effective concentration; Δ conc., range in concentration between the least and most sensitive cell line. Complete 60-cell-line data for these compounds can be found at http://dtp.nci.nih.gov.
