From proteomics toward systems biology: integration of different types of proteomics data into network models

Abstract

Living organisms are comprised of various systems at different levels, i.e., organs, tissues, and cells. Each system carries out its diverse functions in response to environmental and genetic perturbations, by utilizing biological networks, in which nodal components, such as, DNA, mRNAs, proteins, and metabolites, closely interact with each other. Systems biology investigates such systems by producing comprehensive global data that represent different levels of biological information, i.e., at the DNA, mRNA, protein, or metabolite levels, and by integrating this data into network models that generate coherent hypotheses for given biological situations. This review presents a systems biology framework, called the 'Integrative Proteomics Data Analysis Pipeline' (IPDAP), which generates mechanistic hypotheses from network models reconstructed by integrating diverse types of proteomic data generated by mass spectrometry-based proteomic analyses. The devised framework includes a serial set of computational and network analysis tools. Here, we demonstrate its functionalities by applying these tools to several conceptual examples.

Approaching clinical proteomics: current state and future fields of application in fluid proteomics

“…In a recent report, Rho et al (156) presented a systems biology framework, called the ''integrative proteomics data analysis pipeline'' (IPDAP), which generates mechanistic hypotheses from network models reconstructed by integrating diverse types of proteomic data generated by MS-based proteomic analyses. This framework includes a series of computational and network analysis tools and helps to translate data to biological knowledge.…”

Extracting biomarkers of commitment to cancer development: potential role of vibrational spectroscopy in systems biology

“…Cellular changes that occur with carcinogenesis may cause post-translational protein modifications in their quantity, activity, interaction and localization, so-called 'proteomic fingerprints'. These can be considered as fundamental members of systems biology, making the proteome a prime candidate in the search potential cancer screening biomarkers [104,105].…”

Identification of epistasis in ischemic stroke using multifactor dimensionality reduction and entropy decomposition

“…Thus, our findings should be replicated using larger subgroups of ischemic stroke patients for practical applications. Network analyses (10) and functional studies will also be necessary to better understand the underlying mechanism of the epistasis.…”
