DTINet: A Network Integration Approach for Drug-Target Interaction Prediction

📢💥🆕 Updates: A Python implementation of DTINet can be found in this GitHub repo: PyDTINet.

DTINet is a computational pipeline to predict novel drug-target interactions (DTIs) from heterogeneous network. DTINet focuses on learning a low-dimensional vector representation of features for each node in the heterogeneous network, and then predicts the likelihood of a new DTI based on these representations via a vector space projection scheme. See our paper on Nature Communications.

Quick start

We provide an example script to run experiments on our dataset:

  • Run run_DTINet.m: predict drug-target interactions, and evaluate the results with cross-validation.

Note: See the "Tutorial" section below for a detailed instruction on how to specify parameters of DTINet, or how to run DTINet on your own dataset.

Code and data

src/ directory

  • DTINet.m: predict drug-target interactions (DTIs)
  • DCA.m: compact feature learning by integrating heterogeneous network
  • diffusionRWR.m: network diffusion algorithm (random walk with restart)
  • compute_similarity.m: compute Jaccard similarity based on interaction/association network
  • auc.m: evaluation script
  • run_DCA.m: example code of running DCA.m for feature learning
  • run_DTINet.m: example code of running DTINet.m for drug-target prediction
  • train_mf.mexa64: pre-built binary file of inductive matrix completion algorithm (downloaded from here)
  • download_imc.sh: download the inductive matrix completion source and build the executable library from source.

data/ directory

  • drug.txt: list of drug names
  • protein.txt: list of protein names
  • disease.txt: list of disease names
  • se.txt: list of side effect names
  • drug_dict_map: a complete ID mapping between drug names and DrugBank ID
  • protein_dict_map: a complete ID mapping between protein names and UniProt ID
  • mat_drug_se.txt : Drug-SideEffect association matrix
  • mat_protein_protein.txt : Protein-Protein interaction matrix
  • mat_protein_drug.txt : Protein-Drug interaction matrix
  • mat_drug_protein.txt : Drug_Protein interaction matrix (transpose of the above matrix)
  • mat_drug_protein_remove_homo.txt: Drug_Protein interaction matrix, in which homologous proteins with identity score >40% were excluded (see the paper).
  • mat_drug_drug.txt : Drug-Drug interaction matrix
  • mat_protein_disease.txt : Protein-Disease association matrix
  • mat_drug_disease.txt : Drug-Disease association matrix
  • Similarity_Matrix_Drugs.txt : Drug similarity scores based on chemical structures of drugs
  • Similarity_Matrix_Proteins.txt : Protein similarity scores based on primary sequences of proteins Note: drugs, proteins, diseases and side-effects are organized in the same order across all files, including name lists, ID mappings and interaction/association matrices.

feature/ directory

We provided the pre-trained vector representations for drugs and proteins, which were used to produce the results in our paper.

  • drug_vector_d100.txt
  • protein_vector_d400.txt

Third-party software

Our implementation requires the Inductive Matrix Completion (IMC) library. We provided an executable binary file (src/train_mf.mexa64) for convenience. The executable binary file was built on a typical Ubuntu 14.04 (64 bit) system.

We also provided the source code of IMC (src/leml-imf-src.zip) since the downloads from the IMC website is currently unavailable. If you are using other Linux platforms or have issues using the provided binary file, please consider building the library from source code by running bash install_imc.sh in the src/ folder.

Tutorial

  1. Put interaction/association matrices in the data/ folder.
  2. Create a network/ folder under DTINet/ and run compute_similarity.m, which will compute the Jaccard similarity of drugs and proteins, based on interaction/association matrices.
  3. Specify parameters (number of dimensions of feature vectors, restart probability, the maximum number of iterations) and run run_DCA.m, which will learn the feature vectors of drugs and proteins and save them in the feature/ folder.
  4. Set the path of feature vectors and corresponding parameters in run_DTINet.m and execute it. This script will predict the drug-target interactions and evaluate the results using a ten-fold cross-validation.

Supplementary Information

supplementary/ directory

  • Supplementary_Data_1.xlsx: The list of top 150 novel drug-target interactions predicted by DTINet, which was trained based all on drugs and targets that have at least one known interacting pair. Known drug-target pairs (corresponding to those non-zero entries in the drug-target interaction matrix) and novel predicted DTIs that share homologous proteins (with sequence identity scores >40%) with known DTIs were excluded from the list.
  • Supplementary_Data_2.xlsx: The entire list of novel drug-target interactions predicted by DTINet, which was trained based on all drugs and targets that have at least one known interacting pair.
  • Supplementary_Data_3.xlsx: Examples of the novel predictions which can be supported by the previous known evidence in the literature.
