Title
Gene Ontology Fuzzy-Enrichment Analysis To Investigate Drug Mode-Of-Action
Abstract
We investigated the possibility of gaining information on the mode of action of a set of compounds by means of Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis.To this aim, we developed a new method, based on fuzzy-sets, which is able to compute sets of genes that are consistently differentially expressed when treating cells with the analyzed compounds. Then a Gene Ontology enrichment analysis is performed on these sets.The method has been tested on several different groups of drugs, whose similarity in mode of action has been predicted by a gene-expression based, unsupervised, approach and verified by searching literature.The obtained results show that GO terms that are over-represented in these fuzzy sets provide a quick and "easy-to-interpret" view of the mode of action of the analyzed drugs.
