ARACNe: Reverse Engineering Regulatory Networks • Computing Mutual Information • Start with a large collection of Microarray Gene Expression Profiles • Select two genes, a TF and a candidate target t: • Use expression across multiple experiments to measure TF Target t
ARACNe: Reverse Engineering Regulatory Networks • Computing Mutual Information • Start with a large collection of transcription start site (TSS) activity levels • Select a TF and a candidate target TSS t: • Use expression across multiple experiments to measure TF Target t
ARACNe Filtering indirect interaction: applying Data Processing Inequality TF1 TF2 Target TF1 TF2 Target X
ARACNe TF2 TF1 TF2 TF2 TF1 TF1 TFN TFN TFN T1 T1 T1 TM T2 TM TM Remove Non Statistically Significant Interactions T2 T2 Apply the DPI Compute all pairwise Mutual Information (One of the two nodes must be a TF)
Challenges in applying ARACNe to FANTOM5 data Normalization Joining tag counts into TSSs Using multiple tissues together
MA plot of normalized TSS activity shows good normalization Note: samples were NOT normalized compared to each other, but each one compare to reference
Correlation clustering shows significant negative correlations Strong Negative Correlation Assorted samples Hematopoietic
Possible solution to tissue driven mutual information Calculate MI only form the subset of samples in which both the TF and the target TSS are expressed
In spite of caveats MI agrees with chip-seq http://amp.pharm.mssm.edu/lib/chea.jsp
Interrogating Gene regulatory networks Analyzing data using ARACNe network
MARINa: Master Regulator Inference analysis A Master Regulator is a gene that is necessary and/or sufficient to induce a specific cellular transformation or differentiation event. TFx Phenotype 1 Phenotype 2 Repressed TFx Targets TFx? Activated TFx Targets TF Regulon If TFx were a Master Regulator of Ph1→Ph2 transformation, then its regulated genes should distribute as follows: Activated TFx Targets Repressed TFx Targets Gene Expression Under-expressed in Ph2 vs. Ph1 Over-expressed in Ph2 vs. Ph1 Lefebvre C. et al (2010), Molecular Systems Biology, Jun 8;6:377.

MARINA initial results for ARHGAP24 differential TSS activity
Future directions • Apply ARACNe to the whole dataset to find differential regulation of TSS activity in the same gene • Apply MARINA to find master regulator of mutually exclusive TSS in the same gene • Use additional algorithms to analyze regulatory networks in developmental stages, and in the time-course data
