| Abstract | BACKGROUND: (blind field). METHODS: Proteomic profiles of 20 patient-derived glioblastoma xenografts (PDGX), established and genetically characterized at Duke's Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center, were obtained using Reverse Phase Protein Arrays (RPPA). The proteomic profiles of the parent tumors, obtained from Duke's brain tumor repository, were also obtained using RPPA. The RPPA analysis examined the expression of 128 proteins and phosphoproteins in each primary tumor and PDGX. We compared the expression levels of the 128 proteins in each PDGX/primary tumor pair by plotting the expression level on the y-axis and name of the protein/phosphoprotein on the x-axis. RESULTS: For each primary tumor and PDGX pair, the expression of all but 4 to 8 proteins matched. These data indicate that PDGX retain the protemic profile of the parent tumor. Since the proteomic profile provides information on activated growth pathways, these data can be used to develop an arsenal of signal transduction modulators effective in arresting PDGX growth. For example, 5 xenografts exhibited high phosphorylation of EGFR and these PDGX also showed significantly increased phsophorylation of five other proteins, including GSK3-β, HER2, MAPK, Rb, and Src. Thus, a decrease in phosphorylation of these five proteins can be used to monitor the effectiveness of EGFR blockade in silencing EGFR signaling. If the agents found to be effective in silencing EGFR signaling also inhibit xenograft growth, then these agents can be further tested in glioblastoma patients whose tumors have similar molecular features. CONCLUSIONS: A concordance between the proteomic/phosphoproteomic profiles of PDGX and their parent tumor makes the PDGX an excellent preclinical model for personalized drug development.

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
