Predicting Functional Pathways of Nevi rapineinduced Rash Adverse Drug Reaction in HIV-infected Thai Patients using Network-based Approach
Abstract:
The integration of multiple biological interaction networks helps us to identify plausible
mechanisms which may involve with a cellular phenomenon under scrutiny. In recent
years, biomarkers for predicting adverse reaction of Nevi rapine in HIV-infected patients
have been reported and successfully applied to screen patients. However, underlying
mechanisms that may orchestrate such phenomenon can be hard to identify because
biological mechanisms are complex. This study presents the development of networkbased
integration for identifying plausible underlying mechanisms based on the given
set of biomarkers. Sets of biological network including Human disease network (HDN),
HIV-1 and human protein interaction network (HIV-1, HPPI), and human protein
interaction network (HPPI) were used to reconstruct the baseline interaction network.
The biomarkers of Nevirapine adverse reaction of Thai HIV -infected patients were
overlaid onto the baseline interaction network. The sub-networks that relate to adverse
drug reaction were then extracted from the integrated network. This sub-network can be
used to identify gene and protein c1usters that may associate with the adverse drug
reaction. The result suggests that the integration of human disease network and protein
interaction network can be effectively used to identify plausible underlying mechanisms
of given biomarkers from a genomic study.
