Imbalance in such profiles that constitute networks leads to aberrant states such as cancer in which cell, tissue and functioning are compromised. Bifx Africa-India Joint Virtual Conference 2011
It thus becomes pertinent to question cancer as an aberrant state defined by disrupted networks in the transformed cell / tissue i.e. Resolve the transformed state as a function of systems networks rather than address it on a reductionist level as being driven by a single gene Bifx Africa-India Joint Virtual Conference 2011
Applying the principles of systems biology Systems Biology Hypothesis-driven Global data acquisition Integrate data from different platforms/diff types of data Delineate biological network dynamics Formulate models that can be validated Bifx Africa-India Joint Virtual Conference 2011
An example in point studied recently in our lab is that of the identification of a gene signature associated with serous ovarian adenocarcinoma Bifx Africa-India Joint Virtual Conference 2011
Serous ovarian adenocarcinoma is one of the most aggressive • Gynecological cancers and is associated with a • very poor prognosis for most patients • It is often termed as “Silent Killer” because of lack of early symptoms of • disease and rapid progression to a metastatic stage Bifx Africa-India Joint Virtual Conference 2011
Integrative Approaches for the identification and assessment of Cancer Biomarkers Poor correlation in biomarkers identified between previous studies - Limited sample size - Limited normal tissue – primary Vs.metastases - Discrepancy across microarray platforms - Limited validation Bifx Africa-India Joint Virtual Conference 2011

Systems Networks Analysis Applying ARACNe Algorithm for the Reconstruction of Accurate Cellular Networks • 30 SeOvCa signature genes were considered as nodes around which • interactions were predicted as individual or interacting hubs. • The MI (Mututal Information) was fixed at 0.20 • DPI (Data Processing Inequality) was set at 0.10.
