Most cancer cells harbor multiple drivers whose epistasis and interactions with expression context clouds drug and drug combination sensitivity prediction. We constructed a mechanistic computational model that is context-tailored by omics data to capture regulation of stochastic proliferation and death by pan-cancer driver pathways. Simulations and experiments explore how the coordinated dynamics of RAF/MEK/ERK and PI-3K/AKT kinase activities in response to synergistic mitogen or drug combinations control cell fate in a specific cellular context. In this MCF10A cell context, simulations suggest that synergistic ERK and AKT inhibitor-induced death is likely mediated by BIM rather than BAD, which is supported by prior experimental studies. AKT dynamics explain S-phase entry synergy between EGF and insulin, but simulations suggest that stochastic ERK, and not AKT, dynamics seem to drive cell-to-cell proliferation variability, which in simulations is predictable from pre-stimulus fluctuations in C-Raf/B-Raf levels. Simulations suggest MEK alteration negligibly influences transformation, consistent with clinical data. Tailoring the model to an alternate cell expression and mutation context, a glioma cell line, allows prediction of increased sensitivity of cell death to AKT inhibition. Our model mechanistically interprets context-specific landscapes between driver pathways and cell fates, providing a framework for designing more rational cancer combination therapy. Cancer is a complex and diverse disease. Two people with the same cancer type often respond differently to the same treatment. These differences are primarily driven by the fact that two type-matched tumors can possess distinct sets of mutations and gene expression profiles, provoking differential sensitivity to drugs. Over the past few decades, we have seen a shift away from more broadly cytotoxic drugs to more targeted molecules therapies; but how to match a patient with a specific drug or drug cocktail remains a difficult problem. Here, we build a mechanistic ordinary differential equation model describing the interactions between commonly mutated pan-cancer signaling pathways—receptor tyrosine kinases, Ras/RAF/ERK, PI3K/AKT, mTOR, cell cycle, DNA damage, and apoptosis. We develop methods for how to tailor the model to multi-omics data from a specific biological context, devise a novel stochastic algorithm to induce non-genetic cell-to-cell fluctuations in mRNA and protein quantities over time, and train the model against a wealth of biochemical and cell fate data to gain insight into the systems-level, context-specific control of proliferation and death. One day, we hope models of this kind could be tailored to patient-derived tumor mRNA sequencing data and used to prioritize patient-specific drug regimens.
