Resumen

Gene networks have become a powerful tool for the comprehensive examination of gene expression patterns. Thanks to these networks generated by means of inference algorithms, it is possible to study different biological processes and even identify new biomarkers for such diseases. These biomarkers are essential for the discovery of new treatments for genetic diseases such as cancer. In this work, we introduce an algorithm for genetic network inference based on an ensemble method that improves the robustness of the results by combining two main steps: first, the evaluation of the relationship between pairs of genes using three different co-expression measures, and, subsequently, a voting strategy. The utility of this approach was demonstrated by applying it to a human dataset encompassing breast and prostate cancer-associated stromal cells. Two gene networks were computed using microarray data, one for breast cancer and one for prostate cancer. The results obtained revealed, on the one hand, distinct stromal cell behaviors in breast and prostate cancer and, on the other hand, a list of potential biomarkers for both diseases. In the case of breast tumor, ST6GAL2, RIPOR3, COL5A1, and DEPDC7 were found, and in the case of prostate tumor, the genes were GATA6-AS1, ARFGEF3, PRR15L, and APBA2. These results demonstrate the usefulness of the ensemble method in the field of biomarker discovery.
