Abstract:
In order to choose optimal personalized anticancer
treatments, transcriptomic data should be analyzed within the
frame of biological networks. The best known human biological
network (in terms of the interactions between its different
components) is metabolism. Cancer cells have been known to have
specific metabolic features for a long time and currently there
is a growing interest in characterizing new cancer specific
metabolic hallmarks. In this article it is presented a method
to find personalized therapeutic windows using RNA-seq data and
Genome Scale Metabolic Models. This method is implemented in
the python library, pyTARG. Our predictions showed that the
most anticancer selective (affecting 27 out of 34 considered
cancer cell lines and only 1 out of 6 healthy mesenchymal stem
cell lines) single metabolic reactions are those involved in
cholesterol biosynthesis. Excluding cholesterol biosynthesis,
all the considered cell lines can be selectively affected by
targeting different combinations (from 1 to 5 reactions) of
only 18 metabolic reactions, which suggests that a small subset
of drugs or siRNAs combined in patient specific manners could
be at the core of metabolism based personalized treatments.
