Abstract
Drug repositioning is a strategy for identifying new applications of an existing drug that has been previously proven to be safe. Based on several examples of drug repositioning, we aimed to determine the methodologies and relevant steps associated with drug repositioning that should be pursued in the future. Reports on drug repositioning, retrieved from PubMed from January 2011 to December 2020, were classified based on an analysis of the methodology and reviewed by experts. Among various drug repositioning methods, the network-based approach was the most common (38.0%, 186/490 cases), followed by machine learning/deep learningbased (34.3%, 168/490 cases), text mining-based (7.1%, 35/490 cases), semantic-based (5.3%, 26/490 cases), and others (15.3%, 75/490 cases). Although drug repositioning offers several advantages, its implementation is curtailed by the need for prior, conclusive clinical proof. This approach requires the construction of various databases, and a deep understanding of the process underlying repositioning is quintessential. An in-depth understanding of drug repositioning could reduce the time, cost, and risks inherent to early drug development, providing reliable scientific evidence. Furthermore, regarding patient safety, drug repurposing might allow the discovery of new relationships between drugs and diseases.

Abstract
In recent years, with the rapid development of techniques in bioinformatics and life science, a considerable quantity of biomedical data has been accumulated, based on which researchers have developed various computational approaches to discover potential associations between human microbes, drugs and diseases. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in prediction of potential correlations between microbes, drugs and diseases from biological data to computational models. Firstly, we introduced the widely used datasets relevant to the identification of potential relationships between microbes, drugs and diseases in detail. And then, we divided a series of a lot of representative computing models into five major categories including network, matrix factorization, matrix completion, regularization and artificial neural network for in-depth discussion and comparison. Finally, we analysed possible challenges and opportunities in this research area, and at the same time we outlined some suggestions for further improvement of predictive performances as well.

Abstract
New drug development for a disease is a tedious time taking, complex and expensive process. Even if it is done, still the chances for success of newly developed drugs are very low. Modern reports state that repurposing the pre-existing drugs will have more efficient functioning than newly developed drugs. This repurposing process will save time, reduce expenses and provide more success rate. The only limitation for this repurposing is getting a desired pharmacological and characteristic parameter of various drugs from vast data available about a huge number of drugs, their effects, and target mechanisms. This drawback can be avoided by introducing computational methods of analysis. This includes various network analysis types that use various biological processes and relationships with various drugs to make data interpretation a simple process. Some of the data sets now available in standard and simplified forms include gene expression, drug-target interactions, protein networks, electronic health records, clinical trial results, and drug adverse event reports. Integrating various data sets and interpretation methods gives way for a more efficient and easy way to repurpose an exact drug for desired target and effect. In this review, we are going to discuss briefly various computational biological network analysis methods like gene regulatory networks, metabolic networks, protein-protein interaction networks, drug-target interaction networks, drug-disease association networks, drug-drug interaction networks, drug-side effects networks, integrated network-based methods, semantic link networks, and isoform-isoform networks. Along with these, we have also briefly presented limitations, predicting methods, data sets used of various biological networks used of the drug for drug repurposing.

Abstract
Due to the high consumption of cost and time for experimental verification in clinical trials, drug response prediction by computational models have become important challenges. The existing drug response data in diverse cell lines enable prediction of potential sensitive associations. Here, we propose a weight-based modular mapping method, named as WMMDCA, to predict drug-cell line associations. The method fully considers the effects of drugs' chemical structural feature, and adds modular information into the network projection. Leave-one-out cross-validation was used to evaluate the predictive ability of WMMDCA, which showed the best performance among several state-of-the-art methods in not only the whole dataset but also the major tissue types of cell lines. Literature support of highly ranked potential associations was found manually, demonstrating the effectiveness of WMMDCA on drug response prediction.

Explainable artificial intelligence in high-throughput drug repositioning for subgroup stratifications with interventionable potential. J Biomed Inform 2021; 118:103792. [PMID: 33915273 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbi.2021.103792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2020] [Revised: 03/26/2021] [Accepted: 04/21/2021] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
Enabling precision medicine requires developing robust patient stratification methods as well as drugs tailored to homogeneous subgroups of patients from a heterogeneous population. Developing de novo drugs is expensive and time consuming with an ultimately low FDA approval rate. These limitations make developing new drugs for a small portion of a disease population unfeasible. Therefore, drug repositioning is an essential alternative for developing new drugs for a disease subpopulation. This shows the importance of developing data-driven approaches that find druggable homogeneous subgroups within the disease population and reposition the drugs for these subgroups. In this study, we developed an explainable AI approach for patient stratification and drug repositioning. Contrast pattern mining and network analysis were used to discover homogeneous subgroups within a disease population. For each subgroup, a biomedical network analysis was done to find the drugs that are most relevant to a given subgroup of patients. The set of candidate drugs for each subgroup was ranked using an aggregated drug score assigned to each drug. The proposed method represents a human-in-the-loop framework, where medical experts use the data-driven results to generate hypotheses and obtain insights into potential therapeutic candidates for patients who belong to a subgroup. Colorectal cancer (CRC) was used as a case study. Patients' phenotypic and genotypic data was utilized with a heterogeneous knowledge base because it gives a multi-view perspective for finding new indications for drugs outside of their original use. Our analysis of the top candidate drugs for the subgroups identified by medical experts showed that most of these drugs are cancer-related, and most of them have the potential to be a CRC regimen based on studies in the literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Semantic web technology has been applied widely in the biomedical informatics field. Large numbers of biomedical datasets are available online in the resource description framework (RDF) format. Semantic relationship mining among genes, disorders, and drugs is widely used in, for example, precision medicine and drug repositioning. However, most of the existing studies focused on a single dataset. It is not easy to find the most current relationships among disorder-gene-drug relationships since the relationships are distributed in heterogeneous datasets. How to mine their semantic relationships from different biomedical datasets is an important issue. METHODS First, a variety of biomedical datasets were converted into RDF triple data; then, multisource biomedical datasets were integrated into a storage system using a data integration algorithm. Second, nine query patterns among genes, disorders, and drugs from different biomedical datasets were designed. Third, the gene-disorder-drug semantic relationship mining algorithm is presented. This algorithm can query the relationships among various entities from different datasets. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS We focused on mining the putative and the most current disorder-gene-drug relationships about Parkinson's disease (PD). The results demonstrate that our method has significant advantages in mining and integrating multisource heterogeneous biomedical datasets. Twenty-five new relationships among the genes, disorders, and drugs were mined from four different datasets. The query results showed that most of them came from different datasets. The precision of the method increased by 2.51% compared to that of the multisource linked open data fusion method presented in the 4th International Workshop on Semantics-Powered Data Mining and Analytics (SEPDA 2019). Moreover, the number of query results increased by 7.7%, and the number of correct queries increased by 9.5%.

Abstract
Drug similarities play an important role in modern biology and medicine, as they help scientists gain deep insights into drugs' therapeutic mechanisms and conduct wet labs that may significantly improve the efficiency of drug research and development. Nowadays, a number of drug-related databases have been constructed, with which many methods have been developed for computing similarities between drugs for studying associations between drugs, human diseases, proteins (drug targets) and more. In this review, firstly, we briefly introduce the publicly available drug-related databases. Secondly, based on different drug features, interaction relationships and multimodal data, we summarize similarity calculation methods in details. Then, we discuss the applications of drug similarities in various biological and medical areas. Finally, we evaluate drug similarity calculation methods with common evaluation metrics to illustrate the important roles of drug similarity measures on different applications.

Abstract
Psychiatric and neurological disorders (PNDs) affect millions worldwide and only a few drugs achieve complete therapeutic success in the treatment of these disorders. Due to the high cost of developing novel drugs, drug repositioning represents a promising alternative method of treatment. In this manuscript, we used a network medicine approach to investigate the molecular characteristics of PNDs and identify novel drug candidates for repositioning. Using IBM Watson for Drug Discovery, a powerful machine learning text-mining application, we built knowledge networks containing connections between PNDs and genes or drugs mentioned in the scientific literature published in the past 50 years. This approach revealed several drugs that target key PND-related genes, which have never been used to treat these disorders to date. We validate our framework by detecting drugs that have been undergoing clinical trial for treating some of the PNDs, but have no published results in their support. Our data provides comprehensive insights into the molecular pathology of PNDs and offers promising drug repositioning candidates for follow-up trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Development of new drugs is a time-consuming and costly process, and the cost is still increasing in recent years. However, the number of drugs approved by FDA every year per dollar spent on development is declining. Drug repositioning, which aims to find new use of existing drugs, attracts attention of pharmaceutical researchers due to its high efficiency. A variety of computational methods for drug repositioning have been proposed based on machine learning approaches, network-based approaches, matrix decomposition approaches, etc. RESULTS: We propose a novel computational method for drug repositioning. We construct and decompose three-dimensional tensors, which consist of the associations among drugs, targets and diseases, to derive latent factors reflecting the functional patterns of the three kinds of entities. The proposed method outperforms several baseline methods in recovering missing associations. Most of the top predictions are validated by literature search and computational docking. Latent factors are used to cluster the drugs, targets and diseases into functional groups. Topological Data Analysis (TDA) is applied to investigate the properties of the clusters. We find that the latent factors are able to capture the functional patterns and underlying molecular mechanisms of drugs, targets and diseases. In addition, we focus on repurposing drugs for cancer and discover not only new therapeutic use but also adverse effects of the drugs. In the in-depth study of associations among the clusters of drugs, targets and cancer subtypes, we find there exist strong associations between particular clusters. CONCLUSIONS The proposed method is able to recover missing associations, discover new predictions and uncover functional clusters of drugs, targets and diseases. The clustering of drugs, targets and diseases, as well as the associations among the clusters, provides a new guiding framework for drug repositioning.

Abstract
Genome rearrangements are the evolutionary events on level of genomes. It is a global view on evolution research of species to analyze the genome rearrangements. We introduce a new method called RGRPT (recovering the genome rearrangements based on phylogenetic tree) used to identify the genome rearrangements. We test the RGRPT using simulated data. The results of experiments show that RGRPT have high sensitivity and specificity compared with other tools when to predict rearrangement events. We use RGRPT to predict the rearrangement events of six mammalian genomes (human, chimpanzee, rhesus macaque, mouse, rat, and dog). RGRPT has recognized a total of 1,157 rearrangement events for them at 10 kb resolution, including 858 reversals, 16 translocations, 249 transpositions, and 34 fusions/fissions. And RGRPT has recognized 475 rearrangement events for them at 50 kb resolution, including 332 reversals, 13 translocations, 94 transpositions, and 36 fusions/fissions. The code source of RGRPT is available from https://github.com/wangjuanimu/data-of-genome-rearrangement.
