DiSMVC: a multi-view graph collaborative learning framework for measuring disease similarity.

ABSTRACT:

Motivation

Exploring potential associations between diseases can help in understanding pathological mechanisms of diseases and facilitating the discovery of candidate biomarkers and drug targets, thereby promoting disease diagnosis and treatment. Some computational methods have been proposed for measuring disease similarity. However, these methods describe diseases without considering their latent multi-molecule regulation and valuable supervision signal, resulting in limited biological interpretability and efficiency to capture association patterns.

Results

In this study, we propose a new computational method named DiSMVC. Different from existing predictors, DiSMVC designs a supervised graph collaborative framework to measure disease similarity. Multiple bio-entity associations related to genes and miRNAs are integrated via cross-view graph contrastive learning to extract informative disease representation, and then association pattern joint learning is implemented to compute disease similarity by incorporating phenotype-annotated disease associations. The experimental results show that DiSMVC can draw discriminative characteristics for disease pairs, and outperform other state-of-the-art methods. As a result, DiSMVC is a promising method for predicting disease associations with molecular interpretability.

Project description:BackgroundResting-state brain networks represent the interconnectivity of different brain regions during rest. Utilizing brain network analysis methods to model these networks can enhance our understanding of how different brain regions collaborate and communicate without explicit external stimuli. However, analyzing resting-state brain networks faces challenges due to high heterogeneity and noise correlation between subjects. This study proposes a brain structure learning-guided multi-view graph representation learning method to address the limitations of current brain network analysis and improve the diagnostic accuracy (ACC) of mental disorders.MethodsWe first used multiple thresholds to generate different sparse levels of brain networks. Subsequently, we introduced graph pooling to optimize the brain network representation by reducing noise edges and data inconsistency, thereby providing more reliable input for subsequent graph convolutional networks (GCNs). Following this, we designed a multi-view GCN to comprehensively capture the complexity and variability of brain structure. Finally, we employed an attention-based adaptive module to adjust the contributions of different views, facilitating their fusion. Considering that the Smith atlas offers superior characterization of resting-state brain networks, we utilized the Smith atlas to construct the graph network.ResultsExperiments on two mental disorder datasets, the Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange (ABIDE) dataset and the Mexican Cocaine Use Disorders (SUDMEX CONN) dataset, show that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art methods, achieving nearly 75% ACC and 70% area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) on both datasets.ConclusionsThese findings demonstrate that our method of combining multi-view graph learning and brain structure learning can effectively capture crucial structural information in brain networks while facilitating the acquisition of feature information from diverse perspectives, thereby improving the performance of brain network analysis.

Project description:BackgroundTimely and accurate prediction of disease progress is crucial for facilitating early intervention and treatment for various chronic diseases. However, due to the complicated and longitudinal nature of disease progression, the capacity and completeness of clinical data required for training deep learning models remains a significant challenge. This study aims to explore a new method that reduces data dependency and achieves predictive performance comparable to existing research.MethodsThis study proposed DAPNet, a deep learning-based disease progression prediction model that solely utilizes the comorbidity duration (without relying on multi-modal data or comprehensive medical records) and disease associations from biomedical knowledge graphs to deliver high-performance prediction. DAPNet is the first to apply multi-view graph contrastive learning to disease progression prediction tasks. Compared with other studies on comorbidities, DAPNet innovatively integrates molecular-level disease association information, combines disease co-occurrence and ICD10, and fully explores the associations between diseases; RESULTS: This study validated DAPNet using a de-identified clinical dataset derived from medical claims, which includes 2,714 patients and 10,856 visits. Meanwhile, a kidney dataset (606 patients) based on MIMIC-IV has also been constructed to fully validate its performance. The results showed that DAPNet achieved state-of-the-art performance on the severe pneumonia dataset (F1=0.84, with an improvement of 8.7%), and outperformed the six baseline models on the kidney disease dataset (F1=0.80, with an improvement of 21.3%). Through case analysis, we elucidated the clinical and molecular associations identified by the DAPNet model, which facilitated a better understanding and explanation of potential disease association, thereby providing interpretability for the model.ConclusionsThe proposed DAPNet, for the first time, utilizes comorbidity duration and disease associations network, enabling more accurate disease progression prediction based on a multi-view graph contrastive learning, which provides valuable insights for early diagnosis and treatment of patients. Based on disease association networks, our research has enhanced the interpretability of disease progression predictions.
