Abstract :

Obesity is a global epidemic affecting over 1.5 billion people and one of the risk factor for several diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus. We have constructed a comprehensive map of the molecules reported to be implicated in obesity. A new semi-automated text mining system was developed to complement deep curation strategy to screen over 80,863 abstracts. Our map shows bow-tie architecture with 804 nodes and 971 edges classified into 510 proteins, 115 genes, 62 complexes, 23 RNA molecules, 83 simple molecules, 3 phenotype, and 3 drugs. This network fits into power law distribution and shows scale free nature with distinct topological properties. We classify this network into 5 modules and identify new links between newly found genes such as fat mass and obesity associated with well studied examples such as insulin and leptin. Comparison of network with randomized maps reveals interesting aspects about molecular patho-physiology of obesity. We attempt to perturb this network using molecule docking approach using FDA approved drugs such as orlistat, rimnobant, sibutramine etc. We find that these drugs bind strongly to several of their targets as well as off targets in the obesity network. Several of side-effects reported by these drugs such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and loose motions can be explained and predicted using our strategy of network based docking. Our results help in identifying potential drug targets and also serve as a model to test off-targets for existing drug
