BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play an important role in
pathological initiation, progression and maintenance. Because identification in
the laboratory of disease-related miRNAs is not straightforward, numerous
network-based methods have been developed to predict novel miRNAs in silico.
Homogeneous networks (in which every node is a miRNA) based on the targets shared
between miRNAs have been widely used to predict their role in disease phenotypes.
Although such homogeneous networks can predict potential disease-associated
miRNAs, they do not consider the roles of the target genes of the miRNAs. Here,
we introduce a novel method based on a heterogeneous network that not only
considers miRNAs but also the corresponding target genes in the network model.
RESULTS: Instead of constructing homogeneous miRNA networks, we built
heterogeneous miRNA networks consisting of both miRNAs and their target genes,
using databases of known miRNA-target gene interactions. In addition, as recent
studies demonstrated reciprocal regulatory relations between miRNAs and their
target genes, we considered these heterogeneous miRNA networks to be undirected,
assuming mutual miRNA-target interactions. Next, we introduced a novel method
(RWRMTN) operating on these mutual heterogeneous miRNA networks to rank candidate
disease-related miRNAs using a random walk with restart (RWR) based algorithm.
Using both known disease-associated miRNAs and their target genes as seed nodes,
the method can identify additional miRNAs involved in the disease phenotype.
Experiments indicated that RWRMTN outperformed two existing state-of-the-art
methods: RWRMDA, a network-based method that also uses a RWR on homogeneous
(rather than heterogeneous) miRNA networks, and RLSMDA, a machine learning-based
method. Interestingly, we could relate this performance gain to the emergence of
"disease modules" in the heterogeneous miRNA networks used as input for the
algorithm. Moreover, we could demonstrate that RWRMTN is stable, performing well
when using both experimentally validated and predicted miRNA-target gene
interaction data for network construction. Finally, using RWRMTN, we identified
76 novel miRNAs associated with 23 disease phenotypes which were present in a
recent database of known disease-miRNA associations. CONCLUSIONS: Summarizing,
using random walks on mutual miRNA-target networks improves the prediction of
novel disease-associated miRNAs because of the existence of "disease modules" in
these networks.
