Dataset Information

The DIONESUS algorithm provides scalable and accurate reconstruction of dynamic phosphoproteomic networks to reveal new drug targets.

ABSTRACT: Many drug candidates fail in clinical trials due to an incomplete understanding of how small-molecule perturbations affect cell phenotype. Cellular responses can be non-intuitive due to systems-level properties such as redundant pathways caused by co-activation of multiple receptor tyrosine kinases. We therefore created a scalable algorithm, DIONESUS, based on partial least squares regression with variable selection to reconstruct a cellular signaling network in a human carcinoma cell line driven by EGFR overexpression. We perturbed the cells with 26 diverse growth factors and/or small molecules chosen to activate or inhibit specific subsets of receptor tyrosine kinases. We then quantified the abundance of 60 phosphosites at four time points using a modified microwestern array, a high-confidence assay of protein abundance and modification. DIONESUS, after being validated using three in silico networks, was applied to connect perturbations, phosphorylation, and cell phenotype from the high-confidence, microwestern dataset. We identified enhancement of STAT1 activity as a potential strategy to treat EGFR-hyperactive cancers and PTEN as a target of the antioxidant, N-acetylcysteine. Quantification of the relationship between drug dosage and cell viability in a panel of triple-negative breast cancer cell lines validated proposed therapeutic strategies.

Project description:BackgroundWhile blood transfusion is an essential cornerstone of hematological care, patients requiring repetitive transfusion remain at persistent risk of alloimmunization due to the diversity of human blood group polymorphisms. Despite the promise, user friendly methods to accurately identify blood types from next-generation sequencing data are currently lacking. To address this unmet need, we have developed RBCeq, a novel genetic blood typing algorithm to accurately identify 36 blood group systems.MethodsRBCeq can predict complex blood groups such as RH, and ABO that require identification of small indels and copy number variants. RBCeq also reports clinically significant, rare, and novel variants with potential clinical relevance that may lead to the identification of novel blood group alleles.FindingsThe RBCeq algorithm demonstrated 99·07% concordance when validated on 402 samples which included 29 antigens with serology and 9 antigens with SNP-array validation in 14 blood group systems and 59 antigens validation on manual predicted phenotype from variant call files. We have also developed a user-friendly web server that generates detailed blood typing reports with advanced visualization (https://www.rbceq.org/).InterpretationRBCeq will assist blood banks and immunohematology laboratories by overcoming existing methodological limitations like scalability, reproducibility, and accuracy when genotyping and phenotyping in multi-ethnic populations. This Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud based platform has the potential to reduce pre-transfusion testing time and to increase sample processing throughput, ultimately improving quality of patient care.FundingThis work was supported in part by Advance Queensland Research Fellowship, MRFF Genomics Health Futures Mission (76,757), and the Australian Red Cross LifeBlood.
