O-3: Drug Repositioning by Merging Gene Expression Data Analysis and Cheminformatics Target Prediction Approaches
The transcriptional responses of drug treatments combined with a protein target prediction algorithm was utilised to associate compounds to biological genomic space. This enabled us to predict efficacy of compounds in cMap and LINCS against 181 databases of diseases extracted from GEO. 18/30 of top drugs predicted for leukemia (e.g. Leflunomide and Etoposide) and breast cancer (e.g. Tamoxifen a...
متن کاملDrug repurposing for aging research using model organisms
Many increasingly prevalent diseases share a common risk factor: age. However, little is known about pharmaceutical interventions against aging, despite many genes and pathways shown to be important in the aging process and numerous studies demonstrating that genetic interventions can lead to a healthier aging phenotype. An important challenge is to assess the potential to repurpose existing dr...
متن کاملUsing Gene networks to drug target identification
The complete genome sequences have provided a plethora of potential drug targets. Gene network technique holds the promise of providing a conceptual framework for analysis of the profusion of biological data being generated on potential drug targets and providing insights to understand the biological regulatory mechanisms in diseases, which are playing an increasingly important role in searchin...
متن کاملA Target Repurposing Approach Identifies N-myristoyltransferase as a New Candidate Drug Target in Filarial Nematodes
Myristoylation is a lipid modification involving the addition of a 14-carbon unsaturated fatty acid, myristic acid, to the N-terminal glycine of a subset of proteins, a modification that promotes their binding to cell membranes for varied biological functions. The process is catalyzed by myristoyl-CoA:protein N-myristoyltransferase (NMT), an enzyme which has been validated as a drug target in h...
متن کاملDvD: An R/Cytoscape pipeline for drug repurposing using public repositories of gene expression data
SUMMARY Drug versus Disease (DvD) provides a pipeline, available through R or Cytoscape, for the comparison of drug and disease gene expression profiles from public microarray repositories. Negatively correlated profiles can be used to generate hypotheses of drug-repurposing, whereas positively correlated profiles may be used to infer side effects of drugs. DvD allows users to compare drug and ...
