lncRNA-Disease Association Prediction Based On Weight Matrix And Projection Score

Abstract

Background: with the development of medical science, lncRNA, originally considered as a noise gene, has been found to participate in a variety of biological activities. Nowadays, more and more studies show that lncRNA is involved in various human diseases, such as gastric cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, etc. However, obtaining lncRNA-disease association only through biological experiments not only costs manpower and material resources, but also gains little. Therefore, it is very important to develop effective computational models for predicting lncRNA-disease association. Results: In this paper, a new lncRNA-disease association prediction model LDAP-WMPS based on weight distribution and projection score is proposed. Based on the existing research results of disease semantic similarity, the integrated lncRNA similarity matrix and the integrated disease similarity matrix are calculated according to the disease semantic similarity and the association information between data. On this basis, the weight algorithm is combined with the improved projection algorithm to predict the lncRNA-disease association through the known lncRNA-miRNA association and miRNA-disease association. The simulation results show that under the loocv framework, the AUC of LDAP-WMPS can reach 0.8822. Better than the latest results. Through the case study of adenocarcinoma and colorectal cancer, it is proved that LDAP-WMPS can effectively infer lncRNA-disease association. Conclusions: The simulation results show that LDAP-WMPS has good prediction performance, which is an important supplement to the research of lncRNA-disease association prediction without lncRNA-disease association data.
