Pathway-focused analysis of gene expression data reveals correlations in folate metabolism. These findings, observed in leukemia and radiation-exposed cells, highlight the utility of direct data analysis and conceptual models.

Area of Science:

  • Systems biology
  • Genomics
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Vast amounts of gene expression data are available from public repositories like the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO).
  • Pathway-specific gene-gene correlation analyses across these datasets are underexplored but potentially valuable.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore folate gene expression data through direct analysis and mathematical modeling.
  • To investigate gene-gene correlations within and between de novo purine synthesis (DNPS) and de novo thymidylate synthesis (DNTS) pathways.

Main Methods:

  • Direct analysis using gene-gene scatter plots and time course plots.
  • Indirect analysis using a folate model with Vmax parameters perturbed by gene expression modulations to predict DNPS and DNTS fluxes.

Main Results:

  • Observed positive correlations within and between DNPS and DNTS folate cycles in gene expression data.
  • Correlations consistent with high proliferative fractions in leukemia patients and DNA damage response in radiation-exposed cells.
  • Folate model predictions generally paralleled direct findings, offering additional correlation insights for specific datasets.

Conclusions:

  • Pathway-focused correlation analyses of microarray data are informative, whether using a mathematical model or not.
  • Conceptual models are crucial for interpreting gene expression data.
  • Mathematical model-based analyses should complement, not replace, direct data examination.
