Abstract

BACKGROUND: In this study, we aimed to develop a new end-to-end learning model called Graph-Drug-Target Interaction (DTI), which integrates various types of information in the heterogeneous network data, and to explore automatic learning of the topology-maintaining representations of drugs and targets, thereby effectively contributing to the prediction of DTI. Precise predictions of DTI can guide drug discovery and development. Most machine learning algorithms integrate multiple data sources and combine them with common embedding methods. However, the relationship between the drugs and target proteins is not well reported. Although some existing studies have used heterogeneous network graphs for DTI prediction, there are many limitations in the neighborhood information between the nodes in the heterogeneous network graphs. We studied the drug-drug interaction (DDI) and DTI from DrugBank Version 3.0, protein-protein interaction (PPI) from the human protein reference database Release 9, drug structure similarity from Morgan fingerprints of radius 2 and calculated by RDKit, and protein sequence similarity from Smith-Waterman score.
