Predicting Protein-Protein Interactions Using Symmetric Logistic Matrix Factorization.

ABSTRACT: Accurate assessment of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) is critical to deciphering disease mechanisms and developing novel drugs, and with rapidly growing PPI data, the need for more efficient predictive methods is emerging. We propose here a symmetric logistic matrix factorization (symLMF)-based approach to predict PPIs, especially useful for large PPI networks. Benchmarked against two widely used datasets (Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Homo sapiens benchmarks) and their extended versions, the symLMF-based method proves to outperform most of the state-of-the-art data-driven methods applied to human PPIs, and it shows a performance comparable to those of deep learning methods despite its conceptual and technical simplicity and efficiency. Tests performed on humans, yeast, and tissue (brain and liver)- and disease (neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders)-specific datasets further demonstrate the high capability to capture the hidden interactions. Notably, many "de novo predictions" made by symLMF are verified to exist in PPI databases other than those used for training/testing the method, indicating that the method could be of broad utility as a simple, yet efficient and accurate, tool applicable to PPI datasets.

Project description:BackgroundComputational fusion approaches to drug-target interaction (DTI) prediction, capable of utilizing multiple sources of background knowledge, were reported to achieve superior predictive performance in multiple studies. Other studies showed that specificities of the DTI task, such as weighting the observations and focusing the side information are also vital for reaching top performance.MethodWe present Variational Bayesian Multiple Kernel Logistic Matrix Factorization (VB-MK-LMF), which unifies the advantages of (1) multiple kernel learning, (2) weighted observations, (3) graph Laplacian regularization, and (4) explicit modeling of probabilities of binary drug-target interactions.ResultsVB-MK-LMF achieves significantly better predictive performance in standard benchmarks compared to state-of-the-art methods, which can be traced back to multiple factors. The systematic evaluation of the effect of multiple kernels confirm their benefits, but also highlights the limitations of linear kernel combinations, already recognized in other fields. The analysis of the effect of prior kernels using varying sample sizes sheds light on the balance of data and knowledge in DTI tasks and on the rate at which the effect of priors vanishes. This also shows the existence of "small sample size" regions where using side information offers significant gains. Alongside favorable predictive performance, a notable property of MF methods is that they provide a unified space for drugs and targets using latent representations. Compared to earlier studies, the dimensionality of this space proved to be surprisingly low, which makes the latent representations constructed by VB-ML-LMF especially well-suited for visual analytics. The probabilistic nature of the predictions allows the calculation of the expected values of hits in functionally relevant sets, which we demonstrate by predicting drug promiscuity. The variational Bayesian approximation is also implemented for general purpose graphics processing units yielding significantly improved computational time.ConclusionIn standard benchmarks, VB-MK-LMF shows significantly improved predictive performance in a wide range of settings. Beyond these benchmarks, another contribution of our work is highlighting and providing estimates for further pharmaceutically relevant quantities, such as promiscuity, druggability and total number of interactions.
