Protein Networks

Protein Networks

An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways

Signaling cascades usually lack linearity. Multiple pathways interact and regulate one another, allowing cells to integrate and respond to diverse environmental stimuli.
Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...

Protein-protein Interfaces

Protein-protein Interfaces

Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a...

Diversity in Cell Signaling Responses

Diversity in Cell Signaling Responses

The physiological function of a cell and cellular communication are outcomes of a range of extrinsic signals, intracellular signaling pathways, and cellular responses. No two cell types express the same repertoire of signaling components. Receptors are highly selective for their cognate ligands, but once activated, they can alter multiple cellular processes such as DNA transcription, protein synthesis, and metabolic activity.
Graded and Abrupt Responses
Some signaling systems generate...

Background:

Understanding heterogeneous patterns of bio-molecular pathway associations across different biological conditions is crucial.
Existing methods may not fully capture complex associations in biological systems.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and present a statistical inference framework for heterogeneous pathway associations.
To apply this framework to analyze differences between refractory and relapsed acute myeloid leukemia patients.

Main Methods:

Utilizing Gaussian-directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) for modeling pathway associations.
Developing computational and methodological details for posterior inference.
Applying the method to reverse phase protein array (RPPA) data.

Main Results:

The proposed Gaussian-DAG model effectively captures heterogeneous association patterns.
Demonstrated the method's utility in distinguishing between patient subgroups.
Successfully applied to both synthetic and real-world acute myeloid leukemia data.

Conclusions:

The Gaussian-DAG approach provides a robust framework for statistical inference in complex biological systems.
This method offers valuable insights into disease mechanisms by analyzing pathway associations.
The findings have implications for understanding patient stratification in diseases like acute myeloid leukemia.
