Furthermore, this application incorporates by reference all materials recorded in compact discs labeled "Copy 1 - Tables Part," ".. Copy 2 - Tables Part" and "Copy 3 - Tables Part," each of which includes "Table 1 (the Qualifier Table).txt" (210 KB, created February 9, 2004). TECHNICAL FIELD [0002] This invention relates to methods, systems and equipment useful for monitoring in vivo activities of CCI-779 or other drugs. BACKGROUND [0003] CCI-779 is an ester analog of the immunosuppressant rapamycin and as such is a potent, selective inhibitor of the mammalian target of rapamycin. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) activates multiple signaling pathways, including phosphorylation of p70s6kinase, which results in increased translation of 5' TOP mRNAs encoding proteins involved in translation and entry into the G1 phase of the cell cycle. By virtue of its inhibitory effects on mTOR and cell cycle control, CCI-779 may function as a cytostatic and immunosuppressive agent. CCI-779 has been used as an anticancer drug and is currently being evaluated for indications in clinical trials for treating various oncology and inflammatory diseases. These diseases include, but are not limited to, renal cell carcinoma (RCC), prostate cancer, gliomas, lung cancer, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 1 WO 2004/072265 PCT/US2004/004118 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] One of the main objectives of clinical phannrmacogenomic studies is to identify suitable markers for monitoring in vivo activities of CCI-779 or other drugs. The present invention employs easily-obtained tissues, such as peripheral blood, as surrogate tissues for the detection of in vivo activities of CCI-779 or other drugs. [0005] In one aspect, the present invention provides methods that are useful for detecting in vivo activities of CCI-779 or other drugs. The methods include comparing an expression profile of at least one drug activity gene in a peripheral blood sample of a patient of interest to a reference expression profile of the gene, where the gene is differentially expressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients who have a non blood disease and are subject to a drug therapy as compared to PBMCs isolated from the patients prior to the drug therapy. In many embodiments, the patient of interest has the non blood disease and is being treated by the drug therapy. [0006] In one embodiment, the drug therapy is an anti-cancer therapy, such as CCI 779 therapy, and the non-blood disease is a solid tumor, such as RCC, prostate cancer, or head/neck cancer. In another embodiment, the drug activity genes of the present invention are selected from Table 5. [0007] The peripheral blood samples used in the present invention can be, without limitation, whole blood samples or samples comprising enriched PBMCs. Other peripheral blood samples that include PBMCs can also be employed in the present invention. [0008] The expression profiles of the drug activity genes can be determined by various means, such as quantitative RT-PCR, Northern Blot, in situ hybridization, slot blotting, nuclease protection assay, nucleic acid arrays, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), radioimmunoassay (RIAs), fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACSs), or Western Blots. In addition, two-dimensional SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and other high-through nucleic acid or protein detection techniques can also be used. [00091 In many embodiments, the reference expression profile and the expression profile being compared are prepared using the same or comparable methodology. In one example, the reference expression profile is an average baseline expression profile of drug activity genes in peripheral blood samples isolated from patient or patients prior to a drug treatment. In another example, the reference expression profile is an expression profile of drug activity genes in peripheral blood samples of the patient of interest. The reference 2 WO 2004/072265 PCT/US2004/004118 expression profile and the expression profile being compared can be obtained from peripheral blood samples isolated at different time points in a drug treatment. [0010] In one embodiment, the drug activity genes used in the present invention are over-expressed (or under-expressed) in PBMCs of patient who have a non-blood disease as compared to PBMCs of humans who do not have the non-blood disease. The drug therapy being investigated can down-regulate (or up-regulate) the expression of the drug activity genes in PBMCs of patients who have the non-blood disease. [0011] In another embodiment, the expression of the drug activity genes in PBMCs can be stimulated (or suppressed) by phytohemagglutinin (PHA). The drug therapy being investigated can down-regulate (or up-regulate) the expression of these genes in PHA treated PBMCs. [00121 In another aspect, the present invention provides other methods that are useful for detecting in vivo activities of CCI-779 or other drugs. The methods include comprises comparing an expression profile of at least one drug activity gene in a peripheral blood sample of a patient of interest to a reference expression profile of the gene, where the RNA transcript(s) of the drug activity gene can hybridize under stringent or nucleic acid array hybridization conditions to one or more qualifiers selected from the Qualifier Table. [0013] In yet another aspect, the present invention provides methods useful for identifying drug activity genes. The methods include detecting the gene expression profile in peripheral blood samples of patients who have a non-blood disease and are subject to a drug therapy, and comparing the gene expression profile to a baseline gene expression profile in peripheral blood samples isolated before the drug therapy. Drug activity genes whose expression levels in peripheral blood samples can be modulated by the drug therapy can therefore be identified. [0014] In still another aspect, the present invention provides kits useful for detecting in vivo activities of CCI-779 or other drugs. In one embodiment, the kits include a plurality of polynucleotides, and each polynucleotide can hybridize under stringent or nucleic acid array hybridization conditions to an RNA transcript, or the complement thereof, of a different respective drug activity gene. In another embodiment, the kits include a plurality of antibodies, and each antibody can bind to a polypeptide encoded by a different respective drug activity gene. The drug activity genes can be selected, without limitation, from Table 5. 3 WO 2004/072265 PCT/US2004/004118 [0015] . In still yet another aspect, the present invention provides nucleic acid arrays useful for detecting in vivo activities of CCI-779 or other drugs. A substantial portion of all polypeptide probes on the nucleic acid array can hybridize under stringent or nucleic acid array hybridization conditions to RNA transcripts, or the complements thereof, of drug activity genes. [0016] Other features, objects, and advantages of the present invention are apparent in the detailed description that follows. It should be understood, however, that the detailed description, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, not limitation. Various changes and modifications within the scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the detailed description. DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0017] The present invention provides methods useful for the detection of in vivo activities of CCI-779 or other drugs. Numerous drug activity genes can be identified by the present invention. The expression profiles of these genes in PBMCs can be modulated by CCI-779 or other drugs. Accordingly, these genes can be used as surrogate markers for monitoring drug activities in vivo. In one embodiment, the methods of the present invention include comparing the expression profile of at least one drug activity gene in a peripheral blood sample of a patient of interest to a reference expression profile of the same drug activity gene. The patient of interest has a non-blood disease, such as RCC, prostate cancer, or another solid tumor, and is being treated by a drug therapy. A change in the peripheral blood expression profile of the drug activity gene is indicative of the in vivo activity of the drug therapy. In many cases, the reference expression profile can be determined by using baseline peripheral blood samples isolated from patients prior to the drug therapy. Peripheral blood samples amenable to the present invention include, but are not limited to, whole blood samples or samples comprising enriched PBMCs. Expression profiles of drug activity genes can be detected using a variety of methods, such as quantitative RT-PCT, Northern Blot, in situ hybridization, nucleic acid arrays, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), radioimmnunoassay (RIA), FACS (fluorescence-activated cell sorter), or Western Blot. The drug activity genes of the present invention may also be used for assessing the efficiency of a drug therapy. [0018] Various aspects of the invention are described in further detail in the following sections. The use of sections is not meant to limit the invention. Each section 4 WO 2004/072265 PCT/US2004/004118 and subsection may apply to any aspect of the invention. In this application, the use of "or" means "and/or" unless stated otherwise. Also, the use of the singular includes the plural unless stated otherwise. A. General Methods for Identifying Drug Activity Genes [0019] The availability of the human genome sequence, together with new developments in technology, such as DNA microarrays, proteomics and computational biology, allows systemic gene expression studies for various diseases. The present invention employs the systematic gene expression analysis technique to identify genes whose expression in peripheral blood can be modulated by a therapeutic agent such as CCI 779. These genes are herein referred to as "drug activity genes." The genes whose expression levels in peripheral blood can be modified by CCI-779 are refereed to as "CCI 779 activity genes." [0020] Drug activity genes can be identified by comparing peripheral blood gene expression profiles before and after a drug treatment. Numerous methods are available for detecting and comparing gene expression profiles. [0021] For instance, gene expression profiles can be detected by measuring the levels of RNA transcripts in peripheral blood samples. In one embodiment, total RNAs or polyA RNAs are isolated from peripheral blood samples using conventional means. The isolated RNAs can be amplified to produce cDNAs or cRNAs. Peripheral blood gene expression profiles can be determined by measuring the amount of the amplified cDNAs or cRNAs. [0022] Peripheral blood gene expression profiles can also be determined by measuring the levels of polypeptides in peripheral blood samples. The amounts of polypeptides in peripheral samples can be detected using various methods, such as ELISAs, RIAs, FACSs, Western Blots or other immunoassays. In addition, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis/mass spectrometry or other high-throughput protein sequencing and identification methods can be used. [0023] In one embodiment, nucleic acid arrays are used for detecting or comparing gene expression profiles in peripheral blood samples isolated at different stages of a therapeutic treatment. Nucleic acid arrays allow for quantitative detection of the expression levels of a large number of genes at one time. Examples of nucleic acid arrays include, but are not limited to, Genechip ® microarrays from Affymetrix (Santa Clara, CA), cDNA 5 WO 2004/072265 PCT/US2004/004118 microarrays from Agilent Technologies (Palo Alto, CA), and bead arrays described in U.S. Patent Nos. 6,288,220 and 6,391,562. [0024] The polynucleotides to be hybridized to nucleic acid arrays can be labeled with one or more labeling moieties to allow for detection of hybridized polynucleotide complexes. The labeling moieties can include compositions that are detectable by spectroscopic, photochemical, biochemical, bioelectronic, immunochemical, electrical, optical or chemical means. Exemplary labeling moieties include radioisotopes, chemiluminescent compounds, labeled binding proteins, heavy metal atoms, spectroscopic markers such as fluorescent markers and dyes, magnetic labels, linked enzymes, mass spectrometry tags, spin labels, electron transfer donors and acceptors, and the like. Unlabeled polynucleotides can also be employed. The polynucleotides can be DNA, RNA, or a modified form thereof. [0025] Hybridization reactions can be performed in absolute or differential hybridization formats. In the absolute hybridization format, polynucleotides derived from one sample, such as a peripheral blood sample isolated from a cancer patient at a particular treatment stage, are hybridized to the probes in a nucleic acid array. Signals detected after the formation of hybridization complexes correlate to the polynucleotide levels in the sample. In the differential hybridization format, polynueleotides derived from two biological samples, such as one isolated from a cancer patient at a first stage of treatment and the other isolated from the same patient but at a second stage of treatment, are labeled with different labeling moieties. A mixture of these differently labeled polynucleotides is added to a nucleic acid array. The nucleic acid array is then examined under conditions in which the emissions from the two different labels are individually detectable. In one embodiment, the fluorophores Cy3 and Cy5 (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Piscataway N.J.) are used as the labeling moieties for the differential hybridization format. [0026] Signals gathered from nucleic acid arrays can be analyzed using commercially available software, such as those provide by Affymetrix or Agilent Technologies. Controls, such as for scan sensitivity, probe labeling and cDNA/cRNA quantitation, can be included in the hybridization experiments. In many embodiments, the nucleic acid array expression signals are scaled or normalized before being subject to further analysis. For instance, the expression signals for each gene can be normalized to take into account variations in hybridization intensities when more than one array is used under similar test conditions. Signals for individual polynucleotide complex hybridization 6 WO 2004/072265 PCT/US2004/004118 can also be normalized using the intensities derived from internal normalization controls contained on each array. In addition, genes with relatively consistent expression levels across the samples can be used to normalize the expression levels of other genes. In one embodiment, the expression levels of the genes are normalized across the samples such that the mean is zero and the standard deviation is one. In another embodiment, the expression data detected by nucleic acid arrays are subject to a variation filter which excludes genes showing minimal or insignificant variation across all samples. [0027] A variety of peripheral blood samples can be used in the present invention. In one embodiment, the peripheral blood samples are whole blood samples. In another embodiment, the peripheral blood samples comprise enriched PBMCs. By "enriched," it means that the percentage of PBMCs in the sample is higher than that in whole blood. In many cases, the PBMC percentage in an enriched sample is at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or more times higher than that in whole blood. In many other cases, the PBMC percentage in an enriched sample is at least 90%, 95%, 98%, 99%, 99.5%, or more. Blood samples containing enriched PBMCs can be prepared using any method known in the art, such as Ficoll gradients centrifugation or CPTs (cell purification tubes). [0028] Peripheral blood samples used in the present can be isolated at any stage of a drug treatment (including baseline samples isolated before the drug treatment). For instance, the samples can be isolated from patients at 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, or 16 weeks after initiation of a drug treatment. Other time points can also be used for isolating blood samples for monitoring or assessing in vivo drug activities. [0029] In many embodiments, the patients being treated by a drug therapy of interest have a non-blood disease, such as a solid tumor. Solid tumors amenable to the present invention include, but are not limited, RCC, prostate cancer, head/neck cancer, ovarian cancer, testicular cancer, brain tumor, breast cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, pancreas cancer, stomach cancer, bladder cancer, skin cancer, cervical cancer, uterine cancer, and liver cancer. In one embodiment, the solid tumors have the following characteristics: (1) a mass of hyperproliferating cells of clonal origin, and (2) acquisition of an aggressively invasive phenotype, where cancer cells leave the tissue of origin and establish new tumor metastases at distant sites. In one example, the patients have RCC. [0030] Any cancer or disease treatment can be evaluated by the present invention. Exemplary cancer treatments include the use of cytokines, such as interferon or interleukin 7 WO 2004/072265 PCT/US2004/004118 2. In addition, chemotherapy drugs can be used, either individually or in combination with other drugs, cytokines or therapies. Suitable chemotherapy drugs include, but are not limited to, CCI-779, AN-238, vinblastine, floxuridine, 5-fluorouracil, and tamoxifen. AN238 is a cytotoxic agent which has 2-pyrrolinodoxorubicin linked to a somatostatin (SST) carrier octapeptide. AN238 can be targeted to SST receptors on the surface of RCC tumor cells. Moreover, monoclonal antibodies, antiangiogenesis drugs, and anti-growth factor drugs can be employed to treat cancers. [0031] The gene expression profile in peripheral blood samples isolated at one stage of a drug treatment can be compared to that at another stage of the drug treatment. Drug activity genes that are differentially expressed in PBMCs at one stage of the treatment relative to another stage of treatment can therefore be identified. In one embodiment, the PBMC expression level of a drug activity gene is substantially higher at one stage than at another stage. For instance, an average PBMC expression level of a drug activity gene at one stage can be at least 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, or more times of that at another stage. In another embodiment, the PBMC expression level of a drug activity gene is substantially lower at one stage than at another stage. For instance, an average PBMC expression level of a drug activity gene at one stage can be no greater than 0.67, 0.5, 0.33, 0.25, 0.1, 0.05, or less times of that at another stage. 10032] In yet another embodiment, drug activity genes can be identified using clustering algorithms based on the nucleic acid array gene expression data. For instance, unsupervised cluster analyses can be used to analyze and categorize genes which have differential expression patterns between different drug treatment stages. Algorithms for unsupervised cluster analysis include, but are not limited to, self-organized maps (SOMs), principle component analysis, average linkage clustering, and hierarchical clustering. [0033] Supervised cluster analysis can also be used to organize and identify drug activity genes. Algorithms for supervised cluster analysis include, but are not limited to, nearest neighbors test, support vector machines, and SPLASH. Either two-class or multi class correlation metrics can be used. B. Identification of CCI-779 Activity Genes [0034] In one embodiment, HG-U95Av2 gene chips (manufactured by Affymetrix) were used for detecting and comparing the levels of RNA transcripts in PBMC-enriched peripheral blood samples. Peripheral blood samples were isolated from RCC patients at 8 WO 2004/072265 PCT/US2004/004118 different stages of CCI-779 treatment (See Example 1). The CCI-779 treatment included intravenous administration of 25, 75 or 250 mg of CCI-779 once weekly. Peripheral blood samples were isolated from RCC patients immediately before the initial administration of CCI-779, and then 8 weeks and 16 weeks thereafter. [0035] cRNA were prepared from the isolated PBMC samples and hybridized to HG-U95Av2 genechips. Hybridization signals were collected for each oligonucleotide probe on the genechips. Signals from the oligonucleotide probes of the same qualifier were averaged. Qualifiers that produce different hybridization signals in samples isolated at different treatment time points were identified. Examples of these identified qualifiers are illustrated in Table 1 ("the Qualifier Table"). [0036] In general, each qualifier in the Qualifier Table corresponds to at least one CCI-779 activity gene, and the RNA transcripts of the gene can hybridize under stringent or nucleic acid array hybridization conditions to the qualifier. As used herein, "hybridize to a qualifier" means to hybridize to at least one oligonucleotide probe of the qualifier. In many embodiments, the RNA transcripts of a CCI-779 activity gene can hybridize under stringent or nucleic acid array hybridization conditions to at least 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 or 16 oligonucleotide probes of the corresponding qualifier. [0037] Table 2 lists the expression profiles of some qualifiers that produced different hybridization signals for PBMC samples isolated at different treatment stages. Each expression profile in Table 2 ("Baseline," "8wks Average," or "1 6wks Average") was an average of PBMC samples of 110 RCC patients. Each expression profile under "Baseline," "8wks Average," and "16wks Average" represented the hybridization signals on the respective qualifier for PBMC samples isolated immediately before the initial CCI-779 administration, 8 weeks after the initial administration, and 16 weeks after the initial administration, respectively. The p-value of an ANOVA analysis was provided for each qualifier. The p-value suggests the statistical significance of the difference observed between the expression profiles obtained at different CCI-779 treatment stages. Lesser p values indicate more statistical significance for the differences observed between different treatment stages. Table 2.

In many cases, each CPS consists of an unambiguous fragment, or the complement thereof, of the corresponding SEQ ID NO. In many other cases, each CPS also comprises at least one oligonucleotide probe of the corresponding qualifier. Each SEQ ID NO in Table 3 is a cDNA or genomic sequence, or the complement thereof, of a CCI-779 activity gene 18 WO 2004/072265 PCT/US2004/004118 represented by the qualifier that corresponds to the SEQ ID NO. Accordingly, each SEQ ID NO or its corresponding CPS can hybridize 'under stringent or nucleic acid array hybridization conditions to the RNA transcripts, or the complements thereof, of the represented CCI-779 activity gene. [0039] Each SEQ ID NO may have an Entrez nucleotide sequence database accession number (see Table 4). The Entrez nucleotide sequence database is maintained by the National Center of Biotechnology Information (NCBI), National Library of Medicine, Washington, DC. The database collects sequences from several sources, including GenBank, RefSeq, and PDB. [0040] Any ambiguous residue ("n") in a SEQ ID NO can be determined by numerous methods. In one embodiment, the ambiguous residues in a SEQ ID NO are determined by aligning the SEQ ID NO to a corresponding genomic sequence obtained from a human genome sequence database. In another embodiment, the ambiguous residues in a SEQ ID NO are determined based on the sequence of the corresponding Entrez accession number. In yet another embodiment, the ambiguous residues are determined by re-sequencing the SEQ ID NO. In general, each "n" position in a SEQ ID NO represents at least one nucleotide selected from a, t, g, and c, or contains no nucleotide residue. Table 3.

[0413] The biological mechanisms underlying the CCI-779 modulation of the expression levels of the CCI-779 activity genes have yet to be elucidated. Without being limited to any specific theory, the modulation may be attributed to the direct effect of CCI 779 on PBMCs or other blood cells. It may also be caused by the effect of CCI-779 on renal cell carcinoma tumors, which in turn induce the change of the gene expression profile in the peripheral blood cells. [0414] Some of the CCI-779 activity genes are RCC disease genes that are differentially expressed in PBMCs of RCC patients relative to tumor-free humans. These genes include, for example, TUBB, CTSL, SCYA2, PAI2, UNK_AI679353, SCYA7, IL1RI, THBS1, NCF1, ATP2B1, GRO2, PRF1, DBP, FCGR3B, ADFP, GRO3, C1QR, RNASE2, CBP2, HK3, FOS, PDI2, UNK U12471 (THBSl), EREG, SPPl, STX1A, TKTL1, DUX1, SPINKI, UNK_AL049963 (LOC64116), BNIP3, GRO1, IL1B, F3, UNK AL049250, EDN1, FCGR1A, MUC3, B7, SCYA20, IL1RN, and ZNF261. Over the course of CCI-779 therapy, at least one subset of these genes, which are elevated or suppressed in RCC patients, return to the normal baseline levels. [0415] Table 6 shows examples of RCC disease genes whose expression profiles in PBMCs can be modulated by CCI-779. Modulation of the expression profiles of these genes in ex vivo conditions is also indicated. 113 WO 2004/072265 PCT/US2004/004118 [0416] In one experiment, peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated from tumor free humans were treated with CCI-779 ex vivo. Comparison of the genes sensitive to CCI 779 treatment ex vivo with the CCI-779 activity genes of the present invention revealed a common set of genes. These genes represent surrogate markers of CCI-779 drug activity in vivo as well as ex vivo. [0417] As appreciated by those skilled in the art, the above-described methodology can be employed to identify genes whose expression profiles in PBMCs can be modulated by other drugs. 114 WO 2004/072265 PCT/US2004/004118 .cl 2 'ta 00 .2~~~~- -. 5Q- 3 75o ~ , ~ blfbi bD " b 0) 0) xi 7~d~ ~JC U) 04 ~r m mn MN I f -N cl (N ( ..

Monitoring CCI-779 Drug Activities [0418] The CCI-779 activity genes identified in the present invention can be used to monitor CCI-779 drug activities in a patient who is subject to a CCI-779 treatment. Peripheral blood samples can be isolated at different stages of the CCI-779 treatment. The expression profile of one or more CCI-779 activity genes in these peripheral blood samples can be determined and compared to a reference expression profile. A change in the gene expression profile indicates in vivo activities of CCI-779. In one embodiment, the patent has RCC or another solid tumor. [0419] Numerous methods are available for detecting gene expression profiles. In one aspect, the expression profiles of CCI-779 activity genes are determined by measuring the levels of RNA transcripts of these genes in peripheral blood samples. Suitable methods for this purpose include, but are not limited to, RT-PCT, Northern Blot, in situ hybridization, slot-blotting, nuclease protection assay, and nucleic acid arrays. The peripheral blood samples can be, without limitation, whole blood samples or samples containing enriched PBMCs. [0420] In one embodiment, RNA isolated from peripheral blood samples can be first amplified to cDNA or cRNA. The amplification can be specific or non-specific. Suitable amplification methods include, but are not limited to, reverse transcriptase PCR, isothermal amplification, ligase chain reaction, and Qbeta replicase. The amplified nucleic acid products can be detected or quantitated, for instance, through hybridization to labeled probes. [04211 Amplification primers and hybridization probes for a CCI-779 activity gene can be prepared from the gene sequence or its corresponding CPS using numerous methods. Gene sequences suitable for this purpose include, but are not limited to, exons, introns, or the 3' or 5' untranslated regions, or any combination thereof. In one embodiment, probes/primers are designed based on the sequence in or near the 3' protein-coding region of a CCI-779 activity gene. For instance, the nucleotide sequence encoding the last 100 to 300 amino acid residues in the C-terminus region of the CCI-779 activity gene product can be selected to design probes or primers. Where a CCI-779 activity gene is a hypothetical or putative gene whose expression is supported only by EST or mRNA data, or where the genomic location(s) of a CCI-779 activity gene has not been determined or the gene may correspond to multiple genomic loci, the probes/primers for the gene can be designed based on the corresponding CPS, or the oligonucleotide probes of the corresponding qualifier. 119 WO 2004/072265 PCT/US2004/004118 Table 5 lists example sequences that are useful for designing probes/primers for detecting the expression profiles of CCI-779 activity genes. [0422] The length of the probes/primers can be selected to achieve the desired hybridization or amplification effect. For instance, each probe can comprise at least 15, 20, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 275, 300, 325, 350, 400 or more nucleotides. In one embodiment, each probe/primer has relatively high sequence complexity and does not have any ambiguous residue (undetermined "n", residues). In another embodiment, the probes/primers can hybridize to the target gene[ such as its RNA transcripts or the complements thereof, under stringent or highly stringent conditions. [0423] As used herein, "stringent conditions" are at least as stringent as, for example, conditions G-L shown in Table 7. "Highly stringent conditions" are at least as stringent as conditions A-F shown in Table 7. As used in Table 7, hybridization is carried out under the hybridization conditions (Hybridization Temperature and Buffer) for about four hours, followed by two 20-minute washes under the corresponding wash conditions (Wash Temp. and Buffer). Table 7. Stringency Conditions Poly Stringency nucleotide Hybrid Hybridization Wash Temp.

When hybridizing a polynucleotide to a target polynucleotide of unknown sequence, the hybrid length is assumed to be that of the hybridizing 120 WO 2004/072265 PCT/US2004/004118 polynucleotide. When polynucleotides of known sequence are hybridized, the hybrid length can be determined by aligning the sequences of the polynucleotides and identifying the region or regions of optimal sequence complementarity. H: SSPE (1xSSPE is 0.15M NaC1, 10mM NaH 2
PO
4 , and 1.25mM EDTA, pH 7.4) can be substituted for SSC (lxSSC is 0.15M NaC1 and 15mM sodium citrate) in the hybridization and wash buffers. TB* - TR*: The hybridization temperature for hybrids anticipated to be less than 50 base pairs in length should be 5-10'C less than the melting temperature (Tm) of the hybrid, where Tm is determined according to the following equations. For hybrids less than 18 base pairs in length, Tm(oC) = 2(# of A + T bases) + 4(# of G + C bases). For hybrids between 18 and 49 base pairs in length, Tm(oC) = 81.5 + 16.6(logmoNa
+
) + 0.41(%G + C) - (600/N), where N is the number of bases in the hybrid, and Na + is the molar concentration of sodium ions in the hybridization buffer (Na + for lxSSC = 0.165M). [0424] In one embodiment, the probes/primers for a CCI-779 activity gene are selected from regions which significantly diverge from the sequences of other:genes. Such regions can be determined by checking the probe/primer sequences against a human genome sequence database, such as the Entrez database at the NCBI. One algorithm suitable for this purpose is the BLAST algorithm. This algorithm involves first identifying high scoring sequence pairs (HSPs) by identifying short words of length W in the query sequence, which either match or satisfy some positive-valued threshold score T when aligned with a word of the same length in a database sequence. T is referred to as the neighborhood word score threshold. These initial neighborhood word hits act as seeds for initiating searches to find longer HSPs containing them. The word hits are then extended in both directions along each sequence to increase the cumulative alignment score. Cumulative scores are calculated using, for nucleotide sequences, the parameters M .(reward score for a pair of matching residues; always >0) and N (penalty score for mismatching residues; always <0). The BLAST algorithm parameters W, T, and X determine the sensitivity and speed of the alignment. These parameters can be adjusted for different purposes, as appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art. [0425] In one aspect, quantitative RT-PCR (such as TaqMan, ABI) is used for detecting and comparing the peripheral blood expression profiles of CCI-779 activity genes. Quantitative RT-PCR involves reverse transcription (RT) of RNA to eDNA followed by relative quantitative PCR (RT-PCR). [0426] In PCR, the number of molecules of the amplified target DNA increases by a factor approaching two with every cycle of the reaction until some reagent becomes limiting. Thereafter, the rate of amplification becomes increasingly diminished until there is not an increase in the amplified target between cycles. If one plots a graph on which the 121 WO 2004/072265 PCT/US2004/004118 cycle number is on the X axis and the log of the concentration of the amplified target DNA is on the Y axis, one observes that a curved line of characteristic shape is formed by connecting the plotted points. Beginning with the first cycle, the slope of the line is positive and constant. This is said to be the linear portion of the curve. After some reagent becomes limiting, the slope of the line begins to decrease and eventually becomes zero. At this point the concentration of the amplified target DNA becomes asymptotic to some fixed value. This is said to be the plateau portion of the curve. , [04271 The concentration of the target DNA in the linear portion of the PCR is proportional to the starting concentration of the target before the PCR was begun. By determining the concentration of the PCR products of the target DNA in PCR reactions that have completed the same number of cycles and are in their linear ranges, it is possible to determine the relative concentrations of the specific target sequence in the original DNA mixture. If the DNA mixtures are cDNAs synthesized from RNAs isolated from different tissues or cells, the relative abundances of the specific mRNA from which the target sequence was derived may be determined for the respective tissues or cells. This direct proportionality between the concentration of the PCR products and the relative mRNA abundances is true in the linear range portion of the PCR reaction. [0428] The final concentration of the target DNA in the plateau portion of the curve is determined by the availability of reagents in the reaction mix and is independent of the original concentration of target DNA. Therefore, the sampling and quantifying of the amplified PCR products can be carried out when the PCR reactions are in the linear portion of their curves. In addition, relative concentrations of the amplifiable cDNAs can be normalized to some independent standard, which may be based on either internally existing RNA species or externally introduced RNA species. The abundance of a particular mRNA species may also be determined relative to the average abundance of all mRNA species in the sample. [0429] In one embodiment, the PCR amplification utilizes internal PCR standards that are approximately as abundant as the target. This strategy is effective if the products of the PCR amplifications are sampled during their linear phases. If the products are sampled when the reactions are approaching the plateau phase, then the less abundant product may become relatively over-represented. Comparisons of relative abundances made for many different RNA samples, such as is the case when examining RNA samples for differential expression, may become distorted in such a way as to make differences in relative 122 WO 2004/072265 PCT/US2004/004118 abundances of RNAs appear less than they actually are. This can be improved if the internal standard is much more abundant than the target. If the internal standard is more abundant than the target, then direct linear comparisons may be made between RNA samples. 10430] A problem inherent in clinical samples is that they are of variable quantity or quality. This problem can be overcome if the RT-PCR is performed as a relative quantitative RT-PCR with an internal standard in which the internal standard is an amplifiable cDNA fragment that is larger than the target cDNA fragment and in which the abundance of the mRNA encoding the internal standard is roughly 5-100 times higher than the mRNA encoding the target. This assay measures relative abundance, not absolute abundance of the respective mRNA species. [0431] In another embodiment, the relative quantitative RT-PCR uses an external standard protocol. Under this protocol, the PCR products are sampled in the linear portion of their amplification curves. The number of PCR cycles that are optimal for sampling can be empirically determined for each target eDNA fragment. In addition, the reverse transcriptase products of each RNA population isolated from the various samples can be normalized for equal concentrations of amplifiable cDNAs. While empirical determination of the linear range of the amplification curve and normalization of cDNA preparations are tedious and time-consuming processes, the resulting RT-PCR assays may, in certain cases, be superior to those derived from a relative quantitative RT-PCR with an internal standard. [0432] Nucleic acid arrays can also be used to detect and compare the expression patterns of CCI-779 activity genes in peripheral blood samples isolated at different CCI-779 treatment stages. Probes suitable for detecting the CCI-779 activity genes can be stably attached to known discrete regions on a support substrate. These probes maintain their positions relative to the respective discrete regions during hybridization and subsequent washes. Construction of nucleic acid arrays is well known in the art. Suitable substrates for making nucleic acid arrays include, but are not limited to, glasses, silica, ceramics, nylons, quartz wafers, gels, metals, papers, beads, tubes, fibers, films, membranes, column matrixes, or microtiter plate wells. [0433] A nucleic acid array of the present invention can comprise at least 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 150, 200, 250, or more different polynucleotide probes, each different probe capable of hybridizing to a different respective CCI-779 activity gene. Multiple probes for the same gene can be used on a single nucleic 123 WO 2004/072265 PCT/US2004/004118 acid array. Examples of probes suitable for this invention are listed in the Qualifier Table. Probes for other drug activities genes can also be included in the nucleic acid arrays of this invention. The probe density on the array can be in any range. For instance, the density may be 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, or more probes/cm 2 . [0434] In one embodiment, a substantial portion of all polynucleotide probes on a nucleic acid array of the present invention are probes for CCI-779 or other drug activity genes. For instance, at least 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, or more of all probes on the nucleic acid array can hybridize under stringent or nucleic acid array hybridization conditions to RNA transcripts, or the complements thereof, of drug activity genes. [0435] In another embodiment, nuclease protection assays are used to quantify RNAs derived from the peripheral blood samples. There are many different versions of nuclease protection assays. The common characteristic of these nuclease protection assays is that they involve hybridization of an antisense nucleic acid with the RNA to be quantified. The resulting hybrid double-stranded molecule is then treated with a nuclease which digests single-stranded nucleic acids more efficiently than double-stranded molecules. The amount of antisense nucleic acid that survives digestion is a measure of the amount of the target RNA species to be quantified. An example of nuclease protection assays is the RNase protection assay manufactured by Ambion, Inc. (Austin, Texas). [0436] In another aspect, the peripheral blood expression profiles of CCI-779 activity genes are determined by measuring the levels of polypeptides encoded by these genes. Methods suitable for this purpose include, but are not limited to, immunoassays such as ELISA, RIA, FACS, dot blot, Western Blot, immunohistochemistry, and antibody-based radioimaging. Other methods such as 2-dimensional SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis can also be used. [0437] One exemplary method suitable for detecting the levels of target proteins in peripheral blood samples is ELISA. In an exemplifying ELISA, antibodies capable of binding to the target proteins encoded by one or more CCI-779 activity genes are immobilized onto a selected surface exhibiting protein affinity, such as wells in a polystyrene or polyvinylchloride microtiter plate. Then, peripheral blood samples to be tested are added to the wells. After binding and washing to remove non-specifically bound immunocomplexes, the bound antigen(s) can be detected. Detection can be achieved by the addition of a second antibody which is specific for the target proteins and is linked to a detectable label. Detection may also be achieved by the addition of a -second antibody, 124 WO 2004/072265 PCT/US2004/004118 followed by the addition of a third antibody that has binding affinity for the second antibody, with the third antibody being linked to a detectable label. Before being added to the microtiter plate, cells in the peripheral blood samples can be lysed using various methods known in the art. Proper extraction procedures can be used to separate the target proteins from potentially interfering substances. [0438] In another exemplifying ELISA, the peripheral blood samples suspected of containing the target proteins are immobilized onto the well surface and then contacted with the antibodies of the invention. After binding and washing to remove non-specifically bound immunocomplexes, the bound antigen is detected. Where the initial antibodies are linked to a detectable label, the immunocomplexes can be detected directly. The immunocomplexes can also be detected using a second antibody that has binding affinity for the first antibody, with the second antibody being linked to a detectable label. [0439] Another exemplary ELISA involves the use of antibody competition in the detection. In this ELISA, the target proteins are immobilized on the well surface. The labeled antibodies are added to the well, allowed to bind to the target proteins, and detected by means of their labels. The amount of the target proteins in an unknown sample is then determined by mixing the sample with the labeled antibodies before or during incubation with coated wells. The presence of the target proteins in the unknown sample acts to reduce the amount of antibody available for binding to the well and thus reduces the ultimate signal. [0440] Different ELISA formats can have certain features in common, such as coating, incubating or binding, washing to remove non-specifically bound species, and detecting the bound immunocomplexes. For instance, in coating a plate with either antigen or antibody, the wells of the plate can be incubated with a solution of the antigen or antibody, either overnight or for a specified period of hours. The wells of the plate are then washed to remove incompletely adsorbed material. Any remaining available surfaces of the wells are then "coated" with a nonspecific protein that is antigenically neutral with regard to the test samples. Examples of these nonspecific proteins include bovine serum albumin (BSA), casein and solutions of milk powder. The coating allows for blocking of nonspecific adsorption sites on the immobilizing surface and thus reduces the background caused by nonspecific binding of antisera onto the surface. 10441] In ELISAs, a secondary or tertiary detection means van also be used. After binding of a protein or antibody to the well, coating with a non-reactive material to reduce 125 WO 2004/072265 PCT/US2004/004118 background, and washing to remove unbound material, the immobilizing surface is contacted with the control or clinical or biological sample to be tested under conditions effective to allow immunocomplex (antigen/antibody) formation. These conditions may include, for example, diluting the antigens and antibodies with solutions such as BSA, bovine gamma globulin (BGG) and phosphate buffered saline (PBS)/Tween and incubating the antibodies and antigens at room temperature for about 1 to 4 hours or at 4 0 C overnight. Detection of the immunocomplex then requires a labeled secondary binding ligand or antibody, or a secondary binding ligand or antibody in conjunction with a labeled tertiary antibody or third binding ligand. [04421 Following all incubation steps in an ELISA, the contacted surface can be washed so as to remove non-complexed material. For instance, the surface may be washed with a solution such as PBS/Tween, or borate buffer. Following the formation of specific immunocomplexes between the test sample and the originally bound material, and subsequent washing, the occurrence of the amount of immunocomplexes can be determined. [0443] To provide a detection means, the second or third antibody can have an associated label. In one embodiment, the label is an enzyme that generates color development upon incubating with an appropriate chromogenic substrate. Thus, for example, one may contact and incubate the first or second immunocomplex with a urease, glucose oxidase, alkaline phosphatase or hydrogen peroxidase-conjugated antibody for a period of time and under conditions that favor the development of further immunocomplex formation (e.g., incubation for 2 hours at room temperature in a PBS-containing solution such as PBS-Tween). [0444] After incubation with the labeled antibody, and subsequent to washing to remove unbound material, the amount of label is quantified, e.g., by incubation with a chromogenic substrate such as urea and bromocresol purple or 2,2'-azido-di-(3-ethyl) benzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) and H 2 0 2 , in the case of peroxidase as the enzyme label. Quantitation can be achieved by measuring the degree of color generation, e.g., using a spectrophotometer. [0445] Another method suitable for this invention is RIA (radioimmunoassay). An exemplary RIA is based on the competition between radiolabeled-polypeptides and unlabeled polypeptides for binding to a limited quantity of antibodies. Suitable radiolabels include, but are not limited to, 1125. In one embodiment, a fixed concentration of '1 25 -labeled polypeptide is incubated with a series of dilution of an antibody specific to the polypeptide. 126 WO 2004/072265 PCT/US2004/004118 When the unlabeled polypeptide is added to the system, the amount of the 1 125 -polypeptide that binds to the antibody is decreased. A standard curve can therefore be constructed to represent the amount of antibody-bound I1 25 -polypeptide as a function of the concentration of the unlabeled polypeptide. From this standard curve, the concentration of the polypeptide in unknown samples can be determined. [0446] Suitable antibodies for this invention include, but are not limited to, polyclonal antibodies, monoclonal antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, single chain antibodies, Fab fragments, or fragments produced by a Fab expression library. Methods for making these antibodies are well known in the art. [0447] In one embodiment, the antibodies of the present invention can bind to the corresponding CCI-779 activity gene products or other desired antigens with a binding affinity constant Ka of at least 104 M- 1 , 105 M -1 , 106 M -1 , 107 M -1 , 108 M- 1 , or more. [0448] The antibodies of this invention can be labeled with one or more detectable moieties to allow for detection of antibody-antigen complexes. The detectable moieties can include compositions. detectable by spectroscopic, enzymatic, photochemical, biochemical, bioelectronic, immunochemical, electrical, optical or chemical means. The detectable moieties include, but are not limited to, radioisotopes, chemiluminescent compounds, labeled binding proteins, heavy metal atoms, spectroscopic markers such as fluorescent markers and dyes, magnetic labels, linked enzymes, mass spectrometry tags, spin labels, electron transfer donors and acceptors, and the like. [0449] Moreover, the levels of polypeptides in peripheral blood samples can be determined by detecting the biological activities associated with the polypeptides. If a biological function/activity of a polypeptide is known, suitable in vitro bioassays can be designed to evaluate the biological fmunction/activity, which in turn can be used to determine the amount of the polypeptide in the sample. [0450] Comparison between the expression profile of a patient of interest and a reference expression profile can be conducted manually or electronically. The reference expression profile can be a baseline expression profile representing gene expression in peripheral blood samples isolated prior to a drug treatment. The reference profile can also be an expression profile in peripheral blood samples isolated after initiation of the drug treatment. The reference expression profile can be determine using sample isolated from the patient of interest or other reference patient or patients. In many embodiments, the 127 WO 2004/072265 PCT/US2004/004118 process or methodology that is used to determine the reference expression profile and the expression profile being compared is identical or comparable. [0451] In one example, comparison is carried out by comparing each component in the expression profile of the patient of interest to the corresponding component in the reference expression profile(s). The component can be the expression level of a drug activity gene, a ratio between the expression levels of two drug activity genes, or another measure capable of representing gene expression patterns. The expression level of a gene can be an absolute level, or a normalized or relative level. The difference between two corresponding components can be assessed by fold changes, absolute differences, or other suitable means. [04521 Comparison between expression profiles can also be conducted using pattern recognition or comparison programs. In addition, the serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) technology, the GEMTOOLS gene expression analysis program (Incyte Pharmaceuticals), the GeneCalling and Quantitative Expression Analysis technology (Curagen), and other suitable methods, programs or systems can be used. [0453] Multiple drug activity genes can be used in the comparison of expression profiles. For instance, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 30, 40, 50, or more drug activity genes can be used. [0454] In one embodiment, the drug activity gene(s) used in the comparison can be selected to have relatively small p-values or large differential expression ratios. In one example, the drug activity genes used in the comparison have p-values (e.g., under an ANOVA analysis) of no greater than 0.05, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0005, 0.0001, or less. In another example, the expression level after or during a drug treatment is increased or decreased by at least 2-fold, 3-fold, 4-fold, 5-fold, or more over the baseline expression level. [0455] In another embodiment, comparison of the expression profiles is performed electronically, such as by using a computer system. The computer system includes a processor coupled to a memory or storage medium which stores data representing the expression profiles being compared. In one example, the memory or storage medium is readable or rewritable. The stored expression data can be changed, retrieved, or otherwise manipulated. The memory can also store one or more programs capable of causing the processor to compare the expression profiles. In one embodiment, the processor is coupled to a nucleic acid array scanner which sends signals to the processor for analysis. 128 WO 2004/072265 PCT/US2004/004118 [0456] In vivo activities of other drugs can be similarly monitored using the drug activities genes of the present invention, as appreciated by those skilled in the art. [04571 At least a subset of the drug activity genes of the present invention may be used as disease regression indicators. This subset of genes may be responsive to the effect of CCI-779 or other drugs on RCC or other diseases. In one example, CCI-779 or another drug may cause regression of tumors, and the decrease in tumor size or activity may cause a decreased immune response which is reflected in gene expression changes in the peripheral blood cells. Consequently, the drug activity genes of the present invention can be used as molecular markers for monitoring the efficacy of CCI-779 or other drugs for treating RCC or other diseases. In many cases, diseases amendable to the present invention include those whose regression can produce changed immune responses. [0458] It should be understood that the above-described embodiments and the following examples are given by way of illustration, not limitation. Various changes and modifications within the scope of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the present description. E. Examples Example 1. Isolation of RNA and Preparation of Labeled Microarray Targets [0459] PBMCs from the CCI-779 clinical trials were isolated from whole blood samples (8mL) and collected into CPT tubes according to the standard procedure. PBMCs were purified over Ficoll gradients, washed two times with PBS and counted. Total RNA was isolated from PBMC pellets using the RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). Labeled target for oligonucleotide arrays was prepared using a modification of the procedure described in Lockhart, et al., Nature Biotechnology 14: 1675-80 (1996). 2 jig total RNA was converted to cDNA by priming with an oligo-dT primer containing a T7 DNA polymerase promoter at the 5' end. The cDNA was used as the template for in vitro transcription using a T7 DNA polymerase kit (Ambion, Woodlands, TX) and biotinylated CTP and UTP (Enzo). Labeled cRNA was fragmented in 40 mM Tris-acetate pH 8.0, 100 mM KOAc, 30 mM MgOAc for 35 minutes at 94 0 C in a final volume of 40 tl. Example 2. Hybridization to Affymetrix Microarrays and Detection of Fluorescence 129 WO 2004/072265 PCT/US2004/004118 [0460] Individual samples were hybridized to HgU95A genechip (Affymetrix). No samples were pooled. 110 RCC patients were involved in the study. Each patient received 25, 75, or 250 mg of CCI-779 once weekly through intravenous infusion. Blood samples were collected inunmmediately before the first CCI-779 infusion, eight weeks after the first infusion, and sixteen weeks after the first infusion. [0461] 10 gg of labeled target was diluted in 1 x MES buffer with 100 tg/ml herring sperm DNA and 50 gg/ml acetylated BSA. To normalize arrays to each other and to estimate the sensitivity of the oligonucleotide arrays, in vitro synthesized transcripts of 11 bacterial genes were included in each hybridization reaction as described in Hill et al., Science, 290: 809-812 (2000). The abundance of these transcripts ranged from 1:300,000 (3 ppm) to 1:1000 (1000 ppm) stated in terms of the number of control transcripts per total transcripts. As determined by the signal response from these control transcripts, the sensitivity of detection of the arrays ranged between about 1:300,000 and 1:100,000 copies/million. Labeled probes were denatured at 99 0 C for 5 minutes and then 45 0 C for 5 minutes, and hybridized to oligonucleotide arrays comprised of over 12,500 human gene probes (HgU95A, Affymetrix). Arrays were hybridized for 16 hours at 450C. The hybridization buffer was comprised of 100 mM MES, 1 M [Na ], 20 mM EDTA, and 0.01% Tween 20. After hybridization, the cartridges were washed extensively with non-stringent wash buffer (6 x SSPET), such as three 10-minute washes at room temperature. These hybridization and wash conditions are herein collectively referred to as "nucleic acid array hybridization conditions." The washed cartridges were then stained with phycoerythrin coupled to streptavidin. [0462] 12 x MES stock contains 1.22 M MES and 0.89 M [Na ]. For 1000 ml, the stock can be prepared by mixing 70.4 g MES free acid monohydrate, 193.3 g MES sodium salt and 800 ml of molecular biology grade water, and adjusting volume to 1000 ml. The pH should be between 6.5 and 6.7. 2 x hybridization buffer can be prepared by mixing 8.3 mL of 12 x MES stock, 17.7 mL of 5 M NaC1, 4.0 mL of 0.5 M EDTA, 0.1 mL of 10% Tween 20 and 19.9 mL of water. 6 x SSPET contains 0.9 M NaC1, 60 mM NaH 2
PO
4 , 6 mM EDTA, pH 7.4, and 0.005% Triton X-100. In some cases, the wash buffer can be replaced with a more stringent wash buffer. 1000 ml stringent wash buffer can be prepared by mixing 83.3 mL of 12 x MES stock, 5.2 mL of 5 M NaC1, 1.0 mL of 10% Tween 20 and 910.5 mL of water. 130 WO 2004/072265 PCT/US2004/004118 Example 3. Gene Expression Data Analysis [0463] Data analysis was performed on raw fluorescent intensity values using GENECHIP 3.2 software (Affymetrix). GeneChip 3.2 software uses an algorithm to calculate the likelihood as to whether a gene is "absent" or "present" as well as a specific hybridization intensity value or "average difference" for each transcript represented on the array. The algorithms used in these calculations are described in the Affymetrix GeneChip Analysis Suite User Guide (Affymetrix). The "average difference" for each transcript was normalized to "frequency" values according to the procedures of Hill et al., Science, 290: 809-812 (2000). This was accomplished by referring the average difference values on each chip to a calibration curve constructed from the average difference values for the 11 control transcripts with known abundance that were spiked into each hybridization solution. This process also served to normalize between arrays. [0464] Specific transcripts were evaluated further if they met the following criteria. First, genes that were designated "absent" by the GENECHIP 3.2 software in all samples were excluded from the analysis. Second, in comparisons of transcript levels between arrays, a gene was required to be present in at least one of the arrays. Third, for comparisons of transcript levels between groups, an ANOVA was applied to identify a subset of transcripts that had a significant (p< 0.05) differences in frequency values. [0465] A ANOVA was used to compare PBMC expression profiles measured immediately before the first infusion of CCI-779, to PBMC expression profiles measured at eight and sixteen weeks after the first infusion. In the comparisons, a p value < 0.05 was used to indicate statistical significance. Transcripts that were altered, on average, by 2-fold or more between any two time points can be selected. Example 4. Ex Vivo Assays [0466] Drug modulable transcripts in the surrogate tissue, such as peripheral blood, can provide early evidence of drug exposure in vivo. PBMC ex vivo assays that mimic peripheral blood gene expression in disease states as well as the in vivo response to drug treatments can further validate the surrogate markers identified in in vivo studies. In 131 WO 2004/072265 PCT/US2004/004118 addition, ex vivo assays that overlay with disease-associated biomarkers may provide evidence for markers of drug-dependent disease amelioration. [0467] Many factors should be considered in designing suitable ex vivo assays. These factors include, but are not limited to, PBMC seeding density, culture media and other conditions, vehicle control, dose response, time course, and dose schedule (e.g., preincubation, coincubation, or postincubation). [0468] In one embodiment, phytohemagglutinin (PHA) was used to stimulate gene expression in PBMCs. The genes whose expression can be stimulated by PHA in PBMCs had a substantial overlap with disease-associated transcripts in RCC PBMCs that appear to result from T-cell activation. In some cases, PHA-stimulated PBMCs mimicked anti CD3/anti-CD28 stimulated T-cell profiles in BioExpress. In addition, CCI-779 inhibited certain PHA-inducible transcripts in a dose-dependent manner. The inhibition by CCI-779 appeared to be specific, rather than global. In one example, CTSL, SCYA2, FABP5, SCYA7, ATP2B1, and IL1R1 genes were directly repressed by 300 nm CCI-779 in PHA stimulated PBMCs in an ex vivo assay. Databases of disease-associated profiles and ex vivo activation signatures can be created to identity most appropriate culture conditions for identification of drug modulated biomarkers in specific disease settings. [0469] The foregoing description of the present invention provides illustration and description, but is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise one disclosed. Modifications and variations are possible consistent with the above teachings or may be acquired from practice of the invention. Thus, it is noted that the scope of the invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents. 132
