Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Pharmacology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Pharmacogenomics research necessitates extensive computational analysis of diverse biological databases.
  • Existing systems like COMPARE facilitate correlating anticancer drug sensitivity with genomic data.
  • A significant challenge is the frequent lack of correlation between drug molecular mechanisms and their target gene expression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an online system for identifying genes that influence drug-gene correlations using a novel statistical concept.
  • To enable users to explore functional associations between drug sensitivity and gene expression.
  • To uncover novel therapeutic targets and biological pathways.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an online system based on the statistical concept of 'liquid association'.
  • Integration of the NCI's anticancer drug screen database with a functional genomic database.
  • Implementation of query functions returning clickable tables of associated genes linked to external knowledgebases (Locus Link, OMIM, PubMed).

Main Results:

  • Identification of candidate genes that intervene, confound, or weaken drug-gene correlations.
  • Demonstration of links between methotrexate resistance and DNA component biosynthesis.
  • Revealed association between taxol sensitivity and genes related to human immunodeficiency virus infection.
  • Uncovered a gene expression network related to Alzheimer disease when analyzing the human prion protein.

Conclusions:

  • The developed system enhances the synergistic analysis of drug sensitivity and gene expression data.
  • It facilitates the study of proteins with poorly understood physiological roles.
  • The findings suggest novel pathways and gene interactions relevant to drug response and disease mechanisms.
