RESUMO

Cancer initiation and progression are associated with multiple molecular mechanisms. The knowledge of these mechanisms is expanding and should be converted into guidelines for tackling the disease. Here, we discuss the formalization of biological knowledge into a comprehensive resource: the Atlas of Cancer Signalling Network (ACSN) and the Google Maps-based tool NaviCell, which supports map navigation. The application of ACSN for omics data visualization, in the context of signalling maps, is possible via the NaviCell Web Service module and through the NaviCom tool. It allows generation of network-based molecular portraits of cancer using multilevel omics data. We review how these resources and tools are applied for cancer preclinical studies. Structural analysis of the maps together with omics data helps to rationalize the synergistic effects of drugs and allows design of complex disease stage-specific druggable interventions. The use of ACSN modules and maps as signatures of biological functions can help in cancer data analysis and interpretation. In addition, they empowered finding of associations between perturbations in particular molecular mechanisms and the risk to develop a specific type of cancer. These approaches are helpful, among others, to study the interplay between molecular mechanisms of cancer. It opens an opportunity to decipher how gene interactions govern the hallmarks of cancer in specific contexts. We discuss a perspective to develop a flexible methodology and a pipeline to enable systematic omics data analysis in the context of signalling network maps, for stratifying patients and suggesting interventions points and drug repositioning in cancer and other diseases.

RESUMO

The processes leading to, or avoiding cell death are widely studied, because of their frequent perturbation in various diseases. Cell death occurs in three highly interconnected steps: Initiation, signaling and execution. We used a systems biology approach to gather information about all known modes of regulated cell death (RCD). Based on the experimental data retrieved from literature by manual curation, we graphically depicted the biological processes involved in RCD in the form of a seamless comprehensive signaling network map. The molecular mechanisms of each RCD mode are represented in detail. The RCD network map is divided into 26 functional modules that can be visualized contextually in the whole seamless network, as well as in individual diagrams. The resource is freely available and accessible via several web platforms for map navigation, data integration, and analysis. The RCD network map was employed for interpreting the functional differences in cell death regulation between Alzheimer's disease and non-small cell lung cancer based on gene expression data that allowed emphasizing the molecular mechanisms underlying the inverse comorbidity between the two pathologies. In addition, the map was used for the analysis of genomic and transcriptomic data from ovarian cancer patients that provided RCD map-based signatures of four distinct tumor subtypes and highlighted the difference in regulations of cell death molecular mechanisms.
