JEPETTO: a Cytoscape plugin for gene set enrichment and topological analysis based on interaction networks.

ABSTRACT:

Summary

JEPETTO (Java Enrichment of Pathways Extended To TOpology) is a Cytoscape 3.x plugin performing integrative human gene set analysis. It identifies functional associations between genes and known cellular pathways, and processes using protein interaction networks and topological analysis. The plugin integrates information from three separate web servers we published previously, specializing in enrichment analysis, pathways expansion and topological matching. This integration substantially simplifies the analysis of user gene sets and the interpretation of the results. We demonstrate the utility of the JEPETTO plugin on a set of misregulated genes associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Project description:Purpose: To demonstrate an interaction-based method for the refinement of Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) results. Method: Intravitreal injection of miR-124-3p antagomir was used to knockdown the expression of miR-124-3p in mouse retina at postnatal day 3 (P3). Whole retinal RNA was extracted for mRNA transcriptome sequencing at P9. After preprocessing the dataset, GSEA was performed, and the leading-edge subsets were obtained. The Apriori algorithm was used to identify the frequent genes or gene sets from the union of the leading-edge subsets. A new statistic d was introduced to evaluate the frequent genes or gene sets. Reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was performed to validate the expression trend of candidate genes after the knockdown of miR-124-3p. Results: A total of 115,140 assembled transcript sequences were obtained from the clean data. With GSEA, the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, C-type-like lectin receptor signaling pathway, phagosome, necroptosis, JAK-STAT signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, leukocyte transendothelial migration, chemokine signaling pathway, NF-kappa B signaling pathway and RIG-I-like signaling pathway were identified as the top 10 enriched pathways, and their leading-edge subsets were obtained. After being refined by the Apriori algorithm and sorted by the value of the modulus of d , Prkcd, Irf9, Stat3, Cxcl12, Stat1, Stat2, Isg15, Eif2ak2, Il6st, Pdgfra, Socs4 and Csf2ra had the significant number of interactions and the greatest value of d to downstream genes among all frequent transactions. Results of RT-qPCR validation for the expression of candidate genes after the knockdown of miR-124-3p showed a similar trend to the RNA-Seq results. Conclusion: This study indicated that using the Apriori algorithm and defining the statistic d was a novel way to refine the GSEA results. We hope to convey the intricacies from the computational results to the low-throughput experiments, and to plan experimental investigations specifically.
