摘要

Elucidating the interactions between piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) and diseases is crucial for diagnosis and treatment. Although several computational approaches have been developed to investigate piRNA-disease associations, sparse datasets present challenges in capturing the complex relationships between piRNAs and diseases. To develop a more accurate prediction model for associations between piRNAs and diseases. We integrated piRNA sequence information, disease-related semantic terms, and existing piRNA-disease association networks to construct a heterogeneous graph. Utilizing the Mamba module, we developed an innovative sequence embedding model, MambaTextCNN, to extract features from piRNA sequences, which we used as node attributes within the heterogeneous graph. A heterogeneous graph convolution method was then applied to identify potential associations between piRNAs and diseases, with cross-attention mechanisms further enhancing node features. Finally, by incorporating positive unlabeled learning techniques, we developed the piRNA-disease association prediction model MambaCAttnGCN+. In 5-fold cross-validation, MambaCAttnGCN + achieved AUCs of 0.94 and 0.953 on two datasets, outperforming seven other state-of-the-art models. Additionally, a comparison of three distinct approaches for representing sequence node features, revealed through ablation experiments that features extracted by MambaTextCNN were the most effective. MambaCAttnGCN + represents a valuable predictive tool for future research on piRNA-disease associations in biomedicine.
