Adverse Drug Reaction Discovery Using a Tumor-Biomarker Knowledge Graph.

ABSTRACT: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are a major public health concern, and early detection is crucial for drug development and patient safety. Together with the increasing availability of large-scale literature data, machine learning has the potential to predict unknown ADRs from current knowledge. By the machine learning methods, we constructed a Tumor-Biomarker Knowledge Graph (TBKG) which contains four types of node: Tumor, Biomarker, Drug, and ADR using biomedical literatures. Based on this knowledge graph, we not only discovered potential ADRs of antitumor drugs but also provided explanations. Experiments on real-world data show that our model can achieve 0.81 accuracy of three cross-validation and the ADRs discovery of Osimertinib was chosen for the clinical validation. Calculated ADRs of Osimertinib by our model consisted of the known ADRs which were in line with the official manual and some unreported rare ADRs in clinical cases. Results also showed that our model outperformed traditional co-occurrence methods. Moreover, each calculated ADRs were attached with the corresponding paths of "tumor-biomarker-drug" in the knowledge graph which could help to obtain in-depth insights into the underlying mechanisms. In conclusion, the tumor-biomarker knowledge-graph based approach is an explainable method for potential ADRs discovery based on biomarkers and might be valuable to the community working on the emerging field of biomedical literature mining and provide impetus for the mechanism research of ADRs.

Project description:BackgroundAlzheimer's disease (AD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, continues to increase in prevalence without any effective treatments to date. In this context, knowledge graphs (KGs) have emerged as a pivotal tool in biomedical research, offering new perspectives on drug repurposing and biomarker discovery by analyzing intricate network structures. Our study seeks to build an AD-specific knowledge graph, highlighting interactions among AD, genes, variants, chemicals, drugs, and other diseases. The goal is to shed light on existing treatments, potential targets, and diagnostic methods for AD, thereby aiding in drug repurposing and the identification of biomarkers.ResultsWe annotated 800 PubMed abstracts and leveraged GPT-4 for text augmentation to enrich our training data for named entity recognition (NER) and relation classification. A comprehensive data mining model, integrating NER and relationship classification, was trained on the annotated corpus. This model was subsequently applied to extract relation triplets from unannotated abstracts. To enhance entity linking, we utilized a suite of reference biomedical databases and refine the linking accuracy through abbreviation resolution. As a result, we successfully identified 3,199,276 entity mentions and 633,733 triplets, elucidating connections between 5,000 unique entities. These connections were pivotal in constructing a comprehensive Alzheimer's Disease Knowledge Graph (ADKG). We also integrated the ADKG constructed after entity linking with other biomedical databases. The ADKG served as a training ground for Knowledge Graph Embedding models with the high-ranking predicted triplets supported by evidence, underscoring the utility of ADKG in generating testable scientific hypotheses. Further application of ADKG in predictive modeling using the UK Biobank data revealed models based on ADKG outperforming others, as evidenced by higher values in the areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.ConclusionThe ADKG is a valuable resource for generating hypotheses and enhancing predictive models, highlighting its potential to advance AD's disease research and treatment strategies.

Project description:BackgroundThe global pandemics of severe acute respiratory syndrome, Middle East respiratory syndrome, and COVID-19 have caused unprecedented crises for public health. Coronaviruses are constantly evolving, and it is unknown which new coronavirus will emerge and when the next coronavirus will sweep across the world. Knowledge graphs are expected to help discover the pathogenicity and transmission mechanism of viruses.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to discover potential targets and candidate drugs to repurpose for coronaviruses through a knowledge graph-based approach.MethodsWe propose a computational and evidence-based knowledge discovery approach to identify potential targets and candidate drugs for coronaviruses from biomedical literature and well-known knowledge bases. To organize the semantic triples extracted automatically from biomedical literature, a semantic conversion model was designed. The literature knowledge was associated and integrated with existing drug and gene knowledge through semantic mapping, and the coronavirus knowledge graph (CovKG) was constructed. We adopted both the knowledge graph embedding model and the semantic reasoning mechanism to discover unrecorded mechanisms of drug action as well as potential targets and drug candidates. Furthermore, we have provided evidence-based support with a scoring and backtracking mechanism.ResultsThe constructed CovKG contains 17,369,620 triples, of which 641,195 were extracted from biomedical literature, covering 13,065 concept unique identifiers, 209 semantic types, and 97 semantic relations of the Unified Medical Language System. Through multi-source knowledge integration, 475 drugs and 262 targets were mapped to existing knowledge, and 41 new drug mechanisms of action were found by semantic reasoning, which were not recorded in the existing knowledge base. Among the knowledge graph embedding models, TransR outperformed others (mean reciprocal rank=0.2510, Hits@10=0.3505). A total of 33 potential targets and 18 drug candidates were identified for coronaviruses. Among them, 7 novel drugs (ie, quinine, nelfinavir, ivermectin, asunaprevir, tylophorine, Artemisia annua extract, and resveratrol) and 3 highly ranked targets (ie, angiotensin converting enzyme 2, transmembrane serine protease 2, and M protein) were further discussed.ConclusionsWe showed the effectiveness of a knowledge graph-based approach in potential target discovery and drug repurposing for coronaviruses. Our approach can be extended to other viruses or diseases for biomedical knowledge discovery and relevant applications.
