MOTIVATION: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in general biological
processes and diseases pathogenesis. Identifying miRNA target genes is an
essential step to fully understand the regulatory effects of miRNAs. Many
computational methods based on the sequence complementary rules and the miRNA and
mRNA expression profiles have been developed for this purpose. It is noted that
there have been many sequence features of miRNA targets available, including the
context features of the target sites, the thermodynamic stability and the
accessibility energy for miRNA-mRNA interaction. However, most of current
computational methods that combine sequence and expression information do not
effectively integrate full spectrum of these features; instead, they perceive
putative miRNA-mRNA interactions from sequence-based prediction as equally
meaningful. Therefore, these sequence features have not been fully utilized for
improving miRNA target prediction. RESULTS: We propose a novel regularized
regression approach that is based on the adaptive Lasso procedure for detecting
functional miRNA-mRNA interactions. Our method fully takes into account the gene
sequence features and the miRNA and mRNA expression profiles. Given a set of
sequence features for each putative miRNA-mRNA interaction and their expression
values, our model quantifies the down-regulation effect of each miRNA on its
targets while simultaneously estimating the contribution of each sequence feature
to predicting functional miRNA-mRNA interactions. By applying our model to the
expression datasets from two cancer studies, we have demonstrated our prediction
results have achieved better sensitivity and specificity and are more
biologically meaningful compared with those based on other methods. AVAILABILITY
