Obesity-related drug-gene interaction analysis is a crucial method for understanding how genetic factors influence drug responses in obese patients, particularly concerning treatment strategies that target obesity-related conditions. At Protheragen, our service for obesity-related drug-gene interaction analysis integrates bioinformatics and network pharmacology to analyze key genes and signaling pathways involved in obesity and related metabolic disorders.

Unlock the Genetic Code to Personalized Obesity Treatment with Our Drug-Gene Interaction Analysis

The obesity-related drug-gene interaction analysis service at Protheragen focuses on identifying differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with obesity, particularly those involved in lipid metabolism, insulin resistance, and inflammation. By leveraging bioinformatics tools and mining public databases like GEO and FerrDb, our service constructs comprehensive networks of drug-gene interactions, including transcription factors and miRNAs. Key genes such as IL-6, VEGFA, PTGS2, and STAT3 are integrated into protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks using Cytoscape to highlight potential therapeutic targets. Additionally, the analysis explores the interplay between the immune system and metabolism, identifying immune cells like macrophages and T cells that influence drug responses, aiming to reduce inflammation associated with obesity.

Our team utilizes data mining tools to extract gene and drug interaction information from public databases, constructing drug-gene interaction networks. With the help of tools, key genes are integrated into protein-protein interaction networks, further revealing obesity-related signaling pathways and potential drug targets.

Data Acquisition

Gene expression data from public repositories like GEO and databases such as FerrDb are collected. For example, datasets like GSE2508 and GSE25401 provide human adipose tissue gene profiles.

Differential Gene Expression Analysis

Using tools like the 'limma' package in R, DEGs are identified by comparing obese and non-obese samples. This analysis filters genes based on fold-change and p-values, narrowing down those relevant to obesity.

Network Construction

PPI networks are created using the STRING database, highlighting key genes linked to obesity-related pathways, which are further analyzed for drug-gene interactions using Cytoscape.

Drug Interaction Prediction

Using databases such as DGIdb, candidate drugs that can potentially target the identified key genes are predicted. Examples of such drugs include statins and anti-inflammatory agents targeting IL-6 and other critical markers.
