Predicting cancer-relevant proteins using an improved molecular similarity ensemble approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, we proposed an improved algorithm for identifying proteins relevant to cancer. The algorithm was named two-layer molecular similarity ensemble approach (TL-SEA). We applied TL-SEA to analyzing the correlation between anticancer compounds (against cell lines K562, MCF7 and A549) and active compounds against separate target proteins listed in BindingDB. Several associations between cancer types and related proteins were revealed using this chemoinformatics approach. An analysis of the literature showed that 26 of 35 predicted proteins were correlated with cancer cell proliferation, apoptosis or differentiation. Additionally, interactions between proteins in BindingDB and anticancer chemicals were also predicted. We discuss the roles of the most important predicted proteins in cancer biology and conclude that TL-SEA could be a useful tool for inferring novel proteins involved in cancer and revealing underlying molecular mechanisms.

Introduction: Lung cancer is the main cause of mortality in both genders worldwide. This disease is caused by the uncontrollable growth and development of cells in both or one of the lungs. Although the early diagnosis of this cancer is not an easy task, the earlier it is diagnosed, the higher will be the chance of treating. The objective of this study was to develop an optimized prediction mod...
