Association prediction of lncRNAs and diseases using multiview graph convolution neural network.

ABSTRACT: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate physiological processes via interactions with macromolecules such as miRNAs, proteins, and genes, forming disease-associated regulatory networks. However, predicting lncRNA-disease associations remains challenging due to network complexity and isolated entities. Here, we propose MVIGCN, a graph convolutional network (GCN)-based method integrating multimodal data to predict these associations. Our framework constructs a heterogeneous network combining disease semantics, lncRNA similarity, and miRNA-lncRNA-disease interactions to address isolation issues. By modeling topological features and multiscale relationships through deep learning with attention mechanisms, MVIGCN prioritizes critical nodes and edges, enhancing prediction accuracy.
