Respective contributions of MIAME, GeneOntology and UMLS for transcriptome analysis
Fouzia Moussouni, Anita Burgun, Franck Le Duff, Emilie Guérin, Olivier Loréal INSERM U522 and Medical Informatics Laboratory, CHU Pontchaillou Rennes, FRANCE
2
Transcriptome & DNA microarray
study of transcriptionnal response of the cell Normal Pathologic Response to chemics or foods treatment Response to a growth factor Response to genetic disturbances
3
? Pathological situations studied at INSERM U522 IRON overload
DNA mutation(s) Hemochromatosis… Chronic liver diseases Mechanisms ? Fibrosis Cirrhosis Hepatocarcinoma
4
One may deposit thousands of genes
1 measure 1 Expression Level 1 Spot intensity Intensive data generation 1 gene but multiple facets ! Available knowledge on the expressed genes, that need to be capturized and organized. Experimental Raw Data
5
One gene but multiple descriptions
Nucleic Sequence components - promoters, introns, exons, transcripts, regulators, … Chromosomal localization, Functional proteins and known genes products, Tissue distribution, Known gene interactions, Expression level in physiologic and pathologic conditions, Known gene variations, Clinical Implications, Literature and bibliographic data on a gene.
6
Need of an integrated gene expression environment (for the liver!)
External Sources ? ? ? Integration Data cleaning ! Gene Expression warehouse Analysis Clinical Data experimental data Micro-arrays Substractive banks SAGE

MIAME Experience Array Samples Hybridization Measures
MIAME will provide a standard framework to represent the minimum information that must be reported about microarray experiments : Experience Array Samples Hybridization Measures Normalisation and control Work in progress ... Minimum information about a microarray experiment (MIAME) toward standards for microarray data', A. Brazma, at al., Nature Genetics, vol 29 (December 2001), pp
10
GeneOntology (GO) GO is an ontology for molecular biology and Genomics, But GO is not populated with : GOA gene sequences gene products, ...
11
UMLS The Unified Medical Language System
(UMLS) is intended to help health professionals and researchers to use biomedical information from different sources.
12
Examples from iron metabolism are studied
How pathologic disease states related to iron metabolism alteration are described in GO and UMLS ?
13
Iron metabolism diseases
BIOLOGICAL MODEL FOR IRON METABOLISM IRON METABOLISM GENES PATHOLOGIC STATES alteration Iron metabolism diseases Other diseases hyperferritinemia cataract Other diseases hyperferritinemia cataract Iron overload aceruloplasminemia Iron deficiency
14
Iron overload during Aceruloplasminemia
Iron overload due to a gene alteration Iron overload during Aceruloplasminemia Ceruloplasmin Gene mutation Feroxydase activity in plasma Fe Fe3+ NO Iron binding with plasmatic transferrin NO THE IRON STAYS INSIDE THE CELL !!

A second scenario related to iron metabolism genes alteration
Cataract and hyperferritinemia L_Ferritin gene mRNA mutation L_Ferritin Translation in excess IRE IRP L_Ferritin protein in excess CATARACT and HYPERFERRITINEMIA !

Biologically Active Substance
UMLS view Cataract and hyperferritinemia Iron compound Metalloprotein AA, Peptide or Prorein Biologically Active Substance Ferritin Cataract L_Ferritin H_Ferritin RNAbinding Protein Iron Sulfur Prot AA, Peptide or Protein Co-occurs In Medline IRE Co-occurs In Medline (freq 26) In the UMLS, Ferritin Is a child of iron compound, and Metalloprotein Is the parent of H-ferritin and L-ferritin Is categorized (is assigned to 2 Semantic Types) Amino-Acid, Peptide or protein, and Biologically Active Substance It can be noticed that Ferritin co-occurs in Medline with Cataract, co-occurrence relationships being represented in the UMLS (COC file) Similarly, Ferritin co-occurs in Medline with RNA binding Protein, and Iron sulfur protein, which are the parents of IRP IRE is not present in the UMLS Notice that Ferritin, L-ferritin, etc are represented as Proteins, not as genes Concl: all the terms but IRE are found in the UMLS. Hierarchical relationships are usable. Co-occurrence relationships are represented in the UMLS resource, they are interesting. However, they are not semantically defined, and precise representation of the pathological process is not provided IRP

GO/ GOAnnotations view Link in GO Annotations DB
Cataract and hyperferritinemia Cell component Ferritin Ligand binding Prot or carrier Ferric iron binding Ferritin Light Chain Link in GO Annotations DB Iron homeostasis Ferritin Heavy Chain Iron transport Metabolism IRE IRP In the GO, only Ferritin is represented and classified Cell component. H-ferritin and L-ferritin are not present in GO. In GO Annotations, Ferritin hight chain is associated with 5 GO terms: Ferritin, Ligand binding protein or carrier, Ferric iron binding, Iron homeostasis, Iron transport IRP is associated with 2 GO terms: Metabolism, and Hydrolyase Concl: Only few concepts are represented in GO. GOA files provide associated relationships between gene products and GO concepts. However, they are not semantically defined, and precise representation of the pathological process is not provided Hydro-lyase Cataract

? Recapitulative UMLS GOA MIAME
And more generally … Recapitulative Information on disease states, clinical treatments and followups. Normal vs. pathologic UMLS DNA Chips ? Information on biological samples, experiments and results MIAME We need precise and dynamic models to get the whole picture Information on Roles of the genes in Biological and metabolic states GOA
