TDR Targets 6: driving drug discovery for human pathogens through intensive chemogenomic data integration.

ABSTRACT: The volume of biological, chemical and functional data deposited in the public domain is growing rapidly, thanks to next generation sequencing and highly-automated screening technologies. These datasets represent invaluable resources for drug discovery, particularly for less studied neglected disease pathogens. To leverage these datasets, smart and intensive data integration is required to guide computational inferences across diverse organisms. The TDR Targets chemogenomics resource integrates genomic data from human pathogens and model organisms along with information on bioactive compounds and their annotated activities. This report highlights the latest updates on the available data and functionality in TDR Targets 6. Based on chemogenomic network models providing links between inhibitors and targets, the database now incorporates network-driven target prioritizations, and novel visualizations of network subgraphs displaying chemical- and target-similarity neighborhoods along with associated target-compound bioactivity links. Available data can be browsed and queried through a new user interface, that allow users to perform prioritizations of protein targets and chemical inhibitors. As such, TDR Targets now facilitates the investigation of drug repurposing against pathogen targets, which can potentially help in identifying candidate targets for bioactive compounds with previously unknown targets. TDR Targets is available at https://tdrtargets.org.

Project description:Antibody-drug conjugate therapy has attracted considerable attention in recent years. Since the selection of appropriate targets is a critical aspect of antibody-drug conjugate research and development, a big data research for discovery of candidate targets per tumor type is outstanding and of high interest. Thus, the purpose of this study was to identify and prioritize candidate antibody-drug conjugate targets with translational potential across common types of cancer by mining the Human Protein Atlas, as a unique big data resource. To perform a multifaceted screening process, XML and TSV files including immunohistochemistry expression data for 45 normal tissues and 20 tumor types were downloaded from the Human Protein Atlas website. For genes without high protein expression across critical normal tissues, a quasi H-score (range, 0-300) was computed per tumor type. All genes with a quasi H - score ≥ 150 were extracted. Of these, genes with cell surface localization were selected and included in a multilevel validation process. Among 19670 genes that encode proteins, 5520 membrane protein-coding genes were included in this study. During a multistep data mining procedure, 332 potential targets were identified based on the level of the protein expression across critical normal tissues and 20 tumor types. After validation, 23 cell surface proteins were identified and prioritized as candidate antibody-drug conjugate targets of which two have interestingly been approved by the FDA for use in solid tumors, one has been approved for lymphoma, and four have currently been entered in clinical trials. In conclusion, we identified and prioritized several candidate targets with translational potential, which may yield new clinically effective and safe antibody-drug conjugates. This large-scale antibody-based proteomic study allows us to go beyond the RNA-seq studies, facilitates bench-to-clinic research of targeted anticancer therapeutics, and offers valuable insights into the development of new antibody-drug conjugates.
