31 case / 8 control samples elsewhere in the study have incomplete or conflicting evidence; they are not included above

Patient pairs verified in indexed sample metadata: 0

A case/control comparison meeting these requirements is not confirmed.

Counts describe samples, not independent patients. Pair verification uses explicit subject identifiers in indexed sample metadata. Zero verified pairs does not establish that the study is unpaired; reported matched-normal design alone is insufficient.

Summary

A computational platform, the Boolean network explorer (BoNE), has recently been developed to infuse AI-enhanced precision into drug discovery; it enables querying and navigating invariant Boolean Implication Networks of disease maps for prioritizing high-value targets. Here we used BoNE to query an Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)-map and prioritize two nuclear receptors, PPARa/g. Balanced agonism of PPARa/g was predicted to impact macrophage processes, ameliorate colitis in network-prioritized animal models, ‘reset’ the gene expression network from disease to health, and achieve a favorable therapeutic index that tracked other FDA-approved targets. Predictions were validated using a balanced and potent PPARa/g-dual agonist (PAR5359) in two pre-clinical murine models, i.e., Citrobacter rodentium-induced infectious colitis and DSS-induced colitis. Mechanistically, we show that such balanced dual agonism promotes bacterial clearance more efficiently than individual agonists both in vivo and in vitro; PPARa is required and its agonism is sufficient to induce the pro-inflammatory cytokines and cellular ROS, which are essential for bacterial clearance and immunity, whereas PPARg-agonism blunts these responses, delays microbial clearance and induces the anti-inflammatory cytokine, IL10. Balanced agonism achieved controlled inflammation while protecting the gut barrier and ‘reversal’ of the transcriptomic network. Furthermore, dual agonism effectively reversed the defective bacterial clearance observed in PBMCs derived from IBD patients. These findings not only deliver a macrophage modulator for use as barrier-protective therapy in IBD, but also highlight the potential of BoNE to accelerate and enhance the precision of drug discovery.

Overall design

Mice were orally challenged with C. rodentium at 5 x 108 CFU in 0.1 ml of PBS. Distal colon samples were collected to assess histology and levels of mRNA (by qPCR and RNA Seq). PPARa agonist (GW7647, 20 ug/kg body weight/day), PPARg agonist (Pioglitazone, 20mg/kg body weight/day), PPARa/g dual agonist (PAR5359, 1 mg/kg body weight/day) were administered via intraperitoneal route in 200 ul total volume (DMSO less than 4%). Total RNA was isolated using TRIzol reagent (Life Technologies) and Quick-RNA MiniPrep Kit (Zymo Research, USA). Sequencing was performed.

Applied Review Decisions

No active review decisions affect this ranking.

Derived Classifications

  • Organism differs from search intent Mus musculus Search intent expects Homo sapiens. Organism came from Normalization rules.
  • Disease context Experimental colitis, inflammatory bowel disease Disease context came from Normalization rules.
  • Likely case group Treated 31 samples
  • Likely control group Untreated 8 samples

Intent Interpretation

  • Downgrade or exclusion reason Downgraded for tissue search because it is a treatment/control experiment. Derived from current-intent ranking reasons.

Ranking Facts

Supporting evidence

  • Comparison: Treatment vs control. Specimen: Tissue. Comparison suitability: 0%.
  • Prioritized assay: bulk RNA-seq is the active assay expectation.
  • Interpreted disease metadata: Experimental colitis, Infectious disease or host response, Inflammatory bowel disease.
  • Processed data is available for downstream review.
  • External evidence: PubMed links 1 publication; 1 DOI available: PMID 35288651.

Cautions

  • Downgraded for tissue search because it is a treatment/control experiment.
  • Treatment/control experiment downgraded because this ranking targets tumor-vs-normal tissue comparisons.
  • Overall score capped because comparison suitability is weak for the selected search intent.
  • Overall score capped because non-human datasets are outside the selected human ranking intent.
  • Comparison suitability score is below the Phase 1 recommended threshold.
