Abstract
Background: The development of novel drug combination therapy is one of the hot research areas to treat complex diseases. However, current drug combination research still using relatively inefficient experimental screening methods. Though some researchers have already developed in-silico tools for predicting drugs combination synergy, they only focused on two drugs combinations. In this study, we tried to predict three drugs combination synergy using machine learning approaches, and compared models’ performance by different algorithms and datasets. It’s the first study to explore predicting the synergy response of three-drug combinations.
Methods: In our datasets, we included three drugs combination synergy responses, drug dosages for 560 combination levels, gene expression and mutation data for 13 cell lines. We mainly used tree models for feature selection. We tried modern tree models, Support Vector Machine, and Deep Neural Network for model selection. We also explored whether include extra cell lineage information, gene expression and mutation data in the dataset would improve the model’s performance. Furthermore, we developed a novel LightGBM-based vote model and compared its performance with other models.
Results: Adding extra cell lineage or gene expression / mutation data would improve the model’s performance. The LightGBM model showed best performance among traditional models, while our novel vote model beat it and even achieved better results according to the cross-validation results.
