Leveraging Ingenuity for Predictive Systems Biology: An Approach To Broad-Spectrum, Host-Directed Drug Target Discovery In Infectious Diseases
Presenters: Dr. Ramon Felciano, Co-founder and Senior Vice President, Applied Research and Partnering, Ingenuity Systems
Date: Wednesday May 29, 2013
Time: 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time / 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time
Knowledge of immune system and host-pathogen pathways can inform development of targeted therapies and molecular diagnostics based on a mechanistic understanding of disease pathogenesis and the host response. We used the Ingenuity plaform to investigate the feasibility of rapid target discovery for novel broad-spectrum molecular therapeutics was investigated through comprehensive systems biology modeling and analysis of pathogen and host-response pathways and mechanisms. We used this approach to identify and prioritize candidate host targets based on strength of mechanistic evidence characterizing the role of the target in pathogenesis and tractability desiderata that include optimal delivery of new indications through potential repurposing of existing compounds or therapeutics. We will describe our approach, experimental results, and the key technology innovations now publically available in IPA.

IPA the Fast Path to Toxicity Targets of Interest [36:55 minutes]
Presented by Dr. Aaron Erdely, Health Effects Laboratory Division, NIOSH
and Kaushal Parekh, Associate Staff Ontology Engineer, Ingenuity Systems
and Kaushal Parekh, Associate Staff Ontology Engineer, Ingenuity Systems
Metal-rich particulate matter inhalation exposure results in
target organ toxicity but also adverse systemic effects including
cardiovascular dysfunction and immunosuppression. As a preliminary search
for induction of systemic mechanisms, generation of comprehensive
transcriptome datasets by DNA microarray, along with gene network
analysis, was performed from circulating whole blood cells, aorta, and
lung then compared to determine related biological signaling following
inhalation exposure.
Also demonstrated are some exciting new features in the new 2013 IPA Spring Release. Learn how IPA can help you quickly filter down to specific toxicity targets of interest.

Ingenuity Knowledge-Based Tools for Comprehensive Interpretation of Variant & Gene Expression Data [56:16 minutes]
Presented by Jean-Noel Billaud and Megan Laurance
Ingenuity Staff Scientists Jean-Noel Billaud and Megan Laurance present strategies for integrated analysis and interpretation of variant and gene expression data generated from cell lines representative of 2 breast cancer subtypes: Claudin-Low and Luminal. These subtypes represent different disease entities associated with specific molecular alterations and histo-clinical features. Interrogating these samples at both the variant and transcript level with Ingenuity's Variant Analysis and IPA software presents a powerful approach to drawing clear molecular
paths from variants and gene expression changes to phenotypes relevant to these disease subtypes including Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition and Metastasis.
A Bioinformatician’s Guide to Lung Cancer: Wnt7a Signaling and Beyond [40:13 minutes]
Presented by Dr. Michael Edwards, Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado Health Sciences, Denver
This webinar discusses an important antitumor pathway in lung cancer (Wnt7a signaling) as a framework to explain the bioinformatic analysis process using IPA. Topics covered include biological function and pathway analysis, network construction, and identifying and interpreting upstream regulators. Presented by Dr. Michael Edwards, Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado Health Sciences, Denver.
Differential Expression of Focus Genes Associated Feed Efficiency [41:26 minutes]
Presented by Dr. Walter Bottje, Professor, Dept. of Poultry Science, University of Arkansas
This webinar discusses global RNA expression in breast muscle obtained from a male broiler line phenotyped for high or low feed efficiency (FE) was investigated using microarray analysis. By using an overlay function of IPA in which canonical pathways can be projected onto a set of genes, differentially expressed focus genes were identified.
