Abstract
BACKGROUND
Clinical studies have shown that miRNAs are closely related to human health. The study of potential associations between miRNAs and diseases will contribute to a profound understanding of the mechanism of disease development, as well as human disease prevention and treatment. MiRNA-disease associations predicted by computational methods are the best complement to biological experiments.
RESULTS
In this research, a federated computational model KATZNCP was proposed on the basis of the KATZ algorithm and network consistency projection to infer the potential miRNA-disease associations. In KATZNCP, a heterogeneous network was initially constructed by integrating the known miRNA-disease association, integrated miRNA similarities, and integrated disease similarities; then, the KATZ algorithm was implemented in the heterogeneous network to obtain the estimated miRNA-disease prediction scores. Finally, the precise scores were obtained by the network consistency projection method as the final prediction results. KATZNCP achieved the reliable predictive performance in leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) with an AUC value of 0.9325, which was better than the state-of-the-art comparable algorithms. Furthermore, case studies of lung neoplasms and esophageal neoplasms demonstrated the excellent predictive performance of KATZNCP.
CONCLUSION
A new computational model KATZNCP was proposed for predicting potential miRNA-drug associations based on KATZ and network consistency projections, which can effectively predict the potential miRNA-disease interactions. Therefore, KATZNCP can be used to provide guidance for future experiments.
