Predicting drug-target interactions using probabilistic matrix factorization.

ABSTRACT: Quantitative analysis of known drug-target interactions emerged in recent years as a useful approach for drug repurposing and assessing side effects. In the present study, we present a method that uses probabilistic matrix factorization (PMF) for this purpose, which is particularly useful for analyzing large interaction networks. DrugBank drugs clustered based on PMF latent variables show phenotypic similarity even in the absence of 3D shape similarity. Benchmarking computations show that the method outperforms those recently introduced provided that the input data set of known interactions is sufficiently large--which is the case for enzymes and ion channels, but not for G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and nuclear receptors. Runs performed on DrugBank after hiding 70% of known interactions show that, on average, 88 of the top 100 predictions hit the hidden interactions. De novo predictions permit us to identify new potential interactions. Drug-target pairs implicated in neurobiological disorders are overrepresented among de novo predictions.

Project description:BackgroundBecause drug-drug interactions (DDIs) may cause adverse drug reactions or contribute to complex-disease treatments, it is important to identify DDIs before multiple-drug medications are prescribed. As the alternative of high-cost experimental identifications, computational approaches provide a much cheaper screening for potential DDIs on a large scale manner. Nevertheless, most of them only predict whether or not one drug interacts with another, but neglect their enhancive (positive) and depressive (negative) changes of pharmacological effects. Moreover, these comprehensive DDIs do not occur at random, but exhibit a weakly balanced relationship (a structural property when considering the DDI network), which would help understand how high-order DDIs work.ResultsThis work exploits the intrinsically structural relationship to solve two tasks, including drug community detection as well as comprehensive DDI prediction in the cold-start scenario. Accordingly, we first design a balance regularized semi-nonnegative matrix factorization (BRSNMF) to partition the drugs into communities. Then, to predict enhancive and degressive DDIs in the cold-start scenario, we develop a BRSNMF-based predictive approach, which technically leverages drug-binding proteins (DBP) as features to associate new drugs (having no known DDI) with other drugs (having known DDIs). Our experiments demonstrate that BRSNMF can generate the drug communities, which exhibit more reasonable sizes, the property of weak balance as well as pharmacological significances. Moreover, they demonstrate the superiority of DBP features and the inspiring ability of the BRSNMF-based predictive approach on comprehensive DDI prediction with 94% accuracy among top-50 predicted enhancive and 86% accuracy among bottom-50 predicted degressive DDIs.ConclusionsOwing to the regularization of the weak balance property of the comprehensive DDI network into semi-nonnegative matrix factorization, our proposed BRSNMF is able to not only generate better drug communities but also provide an inspiring comprehensive DDI prediction in the cold-start scenario.

Project description:MotivationIn silico prediction of drug-target interactions plays an important role toward identifying and developing new uses of existing or abandoned drugs. Network-based approaches have recently become a popular tool for discovering new drug-target interactions (DTIs). Unfortunately, most of these network-based approaches can only predict binary interactions between drugs and targets, and information about different types of interactions has not been well exploited for DTI prediction in previous studies. On the other hand, incorporating additional information about drug-target relationships or drug modes of action can improve prediction of DTIs. Furthermore, the predicted types of DTIs can broaden our understanding about the molecular basis of drug action.ResultsWe propose a first machine learning approach to integrate multiple types of DTIs and predict unknown drug-target relationships or drug modes of action. We cast the new DTI prediction problem into a two-layer graphical model, called restricted Boltzmann machine, and apply a practical learning algorithm to train our model and make predictions. Tests on two public databases show that our restricted Boltzmann machine model can effectively capture the latent features of a DTI network and achieve excellent performance on predicting different types of DTIs, with the area under precision-recall curve up to 89.6. In addition, we demonstrate that integrating multiple types of DTIs can significantly outperform other predictions either by simply mixing multiple types of interactions without distinction or using only a single interaction type. Further tests show that our approach can infer a high fraction of novel DTIs that has been validated by known experiments in the literature or other databases. These results indicate that our approach can have highly practical relevance to DTI prediction and drug repositioning, and hence advance the drug discovery process.AvailabilitySoftware and datasets are available on request.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
