Abstract
An advanced graph neural network (GNN) is of great promise to facilitate predicting Poly ADPribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi). Recent studies design models by leveraging graph representations and molecular descriptor representations, unfortunately, still face challenges in comprehensively capturing spatial relationships and contextual information between atoms. Moreover, combining molecular descriptors with graph representations may introduce information redundancy or lead to the loss of intrinsic molecular structures. To this end, we proposed a novel Residual Reconstruction Enhanced Graph Isomorphism Network (R2eGIN) learning model. Specifically, we first designed a residual GIN to learn molecular representations, reduced the impact of vanishing gradients, and enabled the model to capture long-range dependencies. Then, the reconstruction block, by predicting adjacency matrices and node features, was adopted to reconstruct the input graph. To prove the effectiveness of the proposed model, extensive experiments were conducted on 4 data sets of PARPi and compared with 7 existing models. Our evaluation of R2eGIN, conducted using 4 PARPi data sets, shows that the proposed model is comparable to or even outperforms other state-of-the-art models for PARPi prediction. Furthermore, R2eGIN can revolutionize the drug repurposing process through a substantial reduction in the time and costs commonly encountered in traditional drug development methods.
期刊介绍:
Bioinformatics and Biology Insights is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on bioinformatics methods and their applications which must pertain to biological insights. All papers should be easily amenable to biologists and as such help bridge the gap between theories and applications.
