PRMDA: personalized recommendation-based MiRNA-disease association prediction.

ABSTRACT: Recently, researchers have been increasingly focusing on microRNAs (miRNAs) with accumulating evidence indicating that miRNAs serve as a vital role in various biological processes and dysfunctions of miRNAs are closely related with human complex diseases. Predicting potential associations between miRNAs and diseases is attached considerable significance in the domains of biology, medicine, and bioinformatics. In this study, we developed a computational model of Personalized Recommendation-based MiRNA-Disease Association prediction (PRMDA) to predict potential related miRNA for all diseases by implementing personalized recommendation-based algorithm based on integrated similarity for diseases and miRNAs. PRMDA is a global method capable of prioritizing candidate miRNAs for all diseases simultaneously. Moreover, the model could be applied to diseases without any known associated miRNAs. PRMDA obtained AUC of 0.8315 based on leave-one-out cross validation, which demonstrated that PRMDA could be regarded as a reliable tool for miRNA-disease association prediction. Besides, we implemented PRMDA on the HMDD V1.0 and HMDD V2.0 databases for three kinds of case studies about five important human cancers in order to test the performance of the model from different perspectives. As a result, 92%, 94%, 88%, 96% and 88% out of the top 50 candidate miRNAs predicted by PRMDA for Colon Neoplasms, Esophageal Neoplasms, Lymphoma, Lung Neoplasms and Breast Neoplasms, respectively, were confirmed by experimental reports.

Project description:BackgroundCumulative evidence from biological experiments has confirmed that miRNAs have significant roles to diagnose and treat complex diseases. However, traditional medical experiments have limitations in time-consuming and high cost so that they fail to find the unconfirmed miRNA and disease interactions. Thus, discovering potential miRNA-disease associations will make a contribution to the decrease of the pathogenesis of diseases and benefit disease therapy. Although, existing methods using different computational algorithms have favorable performances to search for the potential miRNA-disease interactions. We still need to do some work to improve experimental results.ResultsWe present a novel combined embedding model to predict MiRNA-disease associations (CEMDA) in this article. The combined embedding information of miRNA and disease is composed of pair embedding and node embedding. Compared with the previous heterogeneous network methods that are merely node-centric to simply compute the similarity of miRNA and disease, our method fuses pair embedding to pay more attention to capturing the features behind the relative information, which models the fine-grained pairwise relationship better than the previous case when each node only has a single embedding. First, we construct the heterogeneous network from supported miRNA-disease pairs, disease semantic similarity and miRNA functional similarity. Given by the above heterogeneous network, we find all the associated context paths of each confirmed miRNA and disease. Meta-paths are linked by nodes and then input to the gate recurrent unit (GRU) to directly learn more accurate similarity measures between miRNA and disease. Here, the multi-head attention mechanism is used to weight the hidden state of each meta-path, and the similarity information transmission mechanism in a meta-path of miRNA and disease is obtained through multiple network layers. Second, pair embedding of miRNA and disease is fed to the multi-layer perceptron (MLP), which focuses on more important segments in pairwise relationship. Finally, we combine meta-path based node embedding and pair embedding with the cost function to learn and predict miRNA-disease association. The source code and data sets that verify the results of our research are shown at https://github.com/liubailong/CEMDA .ConclusionsThe performance of CEMDA in the leave-one-out cross validation and fivefold cross validation are 93.16% and 92.03%, respectively. It denotes that compared with other methods, CEMDA accomplishes superior performance. Three cases with lung cancers, breast cancers, prostate cancers and pancreatic cancers show that 48,50,50 and 50 out of the top 50 miRNAs, which are confirmed in HDMM V2.0. Thus, this further identifies the feasibility and effectiveness of our method.

Project description:Nowadays, as more and more associations between microRNAs (miRNAs) and diseases have been discovered, miRNA has gradually become a hot topic in the biological field. Because of the high consumption of time and money on carrying out biological experiments, computational method which can help scientists choose the most likely associations between miRNAs and diseases for further experimental studies is desperately needed. In this study, we proposed a method of Graph Regression for MiRNA-Disease Association prediction (GRMDA) which combines known miRNA-disease associations, miRNA functional similarity, disease semantic similarity, and Gaussian interaction profile kernel similarity. We used Gaussian interaction profile kernel similarity to supplement the shortage of miRNA functional similarity and disease semantic similarity. Furthermore, the graph regression was synchronously performed in three latent spaces, including association space, miRNA similarity space, and disease similarity space, by using two matrix factorization approaches called Singular Value Decomposition and Partial Least-Squares to extract important related attributes and filter the noise. In the leave-one-out cross validation and five-fold cross validation, GRMDA obtained the AUCs of 0.8272 and 0.8080 ± 0.0024, respectively. Thus, its performance is better than some previous models. In the case study of Lymphoma using the recorded miRNA-disease associations in HMDD V2.0 database, 88% of top 50 predicted miRNAs were verified by experimental literatures. In order to test the performance of GRMDA on new diseases with no known related miRNAs, we took Breast Neoplasms as an example by regarding all the known related miRNAs as unknown ones. We found that 100% of top 50 predicted miRNAs were verified. Moreover, 84% of top 50 predicted miRNAs in case study for Esophageal Neoplasms based on HMDD V1.0 were verified to have known associations. In conclusion, GRMDA is an effective and practical method for miRNA-disease association prediction.
