초록

지금까지 생체 네트워크 분석 연구는 정적(static)인 개념으로만 다루어졌다. 그러나 실제 생명현상이 발생하는 세포 내에서는 세포의 상태 및 외부 환경에 따라 일부 단백질과 그 상호작용만이 선택적으로 활성화된다. 따라서 생체 네트워크의 구조가 시간의 흐름에 따라 변화하는 동적(dynamic)인 개념이 적용되어야 하며, 이런 개념은 질병의 진행 추이를 분석하는데 효율적이다. 본 논문에서는 동적인 네트워크 방법을 알츠하이머 질병에 적용하여 질병이 진행되는 단계에 따라 변화하는 단백질 상호작용 네트워크의 구조적, 기능적 특징에 대하여 분석하고자 한다. 우선, 유전자 발현데이터를 기반으로 각 질병의 진행 상태에 따른 부분 네트워크(정상, 초기, 중기, 말기)를 구축하였다. 이를 기반으로, 네트워크의 구조적 특성 분석을 수행하였다. 또한 기능적 특성 분석을 위해 유전자 군집(module)을 탐색하고, 군집별 유전자 기능(Gene Ontology) 분석을 수행했다. 그 결과, 네트워크의 특성들은 각 질병의 단계와 잘 대응되며, 동적 네트워크 분석법이 중요한 생물학적 이벤트를 설명하는데 이용될 수 있음을 보였다. 결론적으로 제안된 연구 방법을 통하여 그동안 알려지지 않았던 질병유발에 관련된 주요 네트워크 변화를 관측할 수 있고, 질병에 관여하는 복잡한 분자 수준의 발생 기작과 진행 과정을 이해하는데 중요한 정보를 획득할 수 있다.

Biological networks have been handled with the static concept. However, life phenomena in cells occur depending on the cellular state and the external environment, and only a few proteins and their interactions are selectively activated. Therefore, we should adopt the dynamic network concept that the structure of a biological network varies along the flow of time. This concept is effective to analyze the progressive transition of the disease. In this paper, we applied the proposed method to Alzheimer's disease to analyze the structural and functional characteristics of the disease network. Using gene expression data and protein-protein interaction data, we constructed the sub-networks in accordance with the progress of disease (normal, early, middle and late). Based on this, we analyzed structural properties of the network. Furthermore, we found module structures in the network to analyze the functional properties of the sub-networks using the gene ontology analysis (GO). As a result, it was shown that the functional characteristics of the dynamics network is well compatible with the stage of the disease which shows that it can be used to describe important biological events of the disease. Via the proposed approach, it is possible to observe the molecular network change involved in the disease progression which is not generally investigated, and to understand the pathogenesis and progression mechanism of the disease at a molecular level.
