摘要

众多实验表明，microRNA（miRNA）的异常表达与人类复杂疾病的产生和演化有关.识别miRNA与疾病间的关联有助于促进临床医学的发展.然而，传统的实验方法往往耗时耗力、效率低下，因此迫切需要高效的计算方法对miRNA与疾病间的潜在关联进行预测.本文提出了一种基于异质图注意力网络的端到端的计算模型来预测miRNA与疾病的关联.该方法通过多头注意力机制捕获异质邻居的结构和属性信息，并将其与中心顶点的属性信息进行融合，从而构建出更具表达能力的miRNA和疾病的特征嵌入，进而通过全连接层对miRNA与疾病间的潜在关联进行预测.5折交叉验证结果显示，该模型分别在HMDD v2.0和HMDD v3.0数据集上取得了93.52%和94.82%的AUC值.此外，关于食管肿瘤的病例研究结果显示，该模型预测的前50个miRNA中有48个得到了证实.上述实验结果表明，该模型可作为一种可靠的工具预测候选疾病的相关miRNA.

Abstract

Lots of experiments have shown that the abnormal expression of microRNA(miRNA) is related to the evolution and progression of human complex diseases. Identifying associations between miRNAs and diseases is beneficial to promote the development of clinical medicine. However

traditional experimental methods are often time-consuming and inefficient

so there is an urgent need for efficient computational methods to predict the potential associations between miRNAs and diseases. In this paper

we propose an end-to-end computational model based on heterogeneous graph attention network to predict the associations between miRNAs and diseases. This model captures the structure and attribute information of heterogeneous neighbors via the multi-head attention mechanism

and fuses them with the attribute information of the central vertex to generate more representative feature embeddings of miRNAs and diseases

and then predicts the potential associations between miRNAs and diseases through a fully connected layer. The 5-fold cross-validation results show that our model achieves 93.52% and 94.82% AUC values based on HMDD v2.0 and HMDD v3.0 datasets

respectively. In addition

the case study on esophageal neoplasms shows that 48 of the top 50 miRNAs predicted by our model are confirmed. The above experimental results indicate that our model can be used as a reliable tool to predict candidate disease-related miRNAs.
