Objectives and methodology:
The Holistic Rare Disease project (HoliRD) aims to build Diseases Maps for as many Rare Diseases as possible and to model them to systematize research in drug repurposing. In order to achieve this purpose several databases such as ORPHANET, OMIM, HPO, PubMed, KEGG, STRING, as well as the literature is used to collect all the up-to-date knowledge of the diseases under study and defining a Disease Map that contains the functional relationships among the known disease genes, as well as the functional consequences of their activity. Then, a mechanistic model that accounts for the activity of such map is used. The HiPathia algorithm, which has successfully proven to predict cell activities related to cancer hallmarks (Hidalgo et al., Oncotarget 2017; 8:5160-5178; Hidalgo et al., Biol Direct. 2018;13:16) as well as the effect of protein inhibitions on cell survival (Cubuk et al., Cancer Res. 2018; 78:6059-6072) is used to simulate the activity of the disease map.
Finally, machine learning algorithms are used to find other proteins, already target of drugs with another indication, which display a potential causal effect on the activity of the previously defined disease map. The drugs that target these proteins are potential candidates for repurposing.
Schematic representation of the method used.
Examples of the use of this approach can be found in Esteban-Medina et al., BMC Bioinformatics. 2019, 20(1):370. CBA

HiPathia is a signal propagation algorithm that considers pathways as collections of circuits defined as sub-pathways or sequences of proteins connecting signal receptor proteins to effector proteins. HiPathia uses expression values genes as proxies of the level of activation of the corresponding protein in the circuit. Taking into account the inferred protein activity and the interactions between the proteins (activation or inhibition) defined in the pathway, the level of activity of a circuit is estimated using a signal propagation algorithm. Ultimately, effector proteins are annotated with a cellular function. CBA
In order to enable a better visualization of the RD Map the HiPathia viewer has been used. The circuits that define the RD Map are marked in RED (please ignore the color legend). The pathways that contain these circuits are highlighted in the right window with a red arrow. The only purpose of this report is to represent the components (genes and interaction) and functions of the circuits that compose the RD Map.

Hipathia uses KEGG pathway for the graphical representation of the circuits. The original pathways can also be visualized in the KEGG repository

Prediction of relevance of gene targets from approved drugs extracted from DRUGBANK database (release 5.1.4)
The HoliRD approach takes the mechanistic model of the disease map as the proxy for the molecular basis of the disease outcome. Then, a Multi-Output Random Forest (MORF) regressor, a machine learning algorithm that predicts the circuit activities across the whole disease map, is trained on GTEx gene expression data to find proteins (which are targets for drugs with indications for other diseases) that correctly predict the behavior of the disease map. The drugs targeting the best predictor proteins are candidate for drug repurposing. The relevance score accounts for the accuracy of the prediction contributed by each individual protein. Relevance are absolute values and do not account for the direction of the prediction, that is, if the interaction is an activation or an inhibition. CBA
From a total of 683 targets for approved drugs (AT) in the DRUGBANK database (release 5.1.4) the machine learning algorithm selected the 25 most relevant ones (top AT).

Matrix correlation of the expression of top AT with the activity of the circuits that compose the RD Map.
In order to understand the nature of the interaction (activation or inhibition) between the most relevant targets and the circuits of the disease map a correlation plot was derived. The plot represents the correlation between the expression level of the most relevant targets and the activity levels of the circuits in the disease map inferred by HiPathia across the GTEx data set. Additionally, the top of the figure represents the effect (pharmacological action) of the drugs.
Hint: a drug with an inhibitory effect in a given target will potentially produce an inhibitory effect in circuits positively correlated (and, it is likely that activation in circuits negatively correlated with the target.)
