Establishment of interpretable cytotoxicity prediction models using machine learning analysis of transcriptome features.

ABSTRACT: Cytotoxicity, usually represented by cell viability, is a crucial parameter for evaluating drug safety in vitro. Accurate prediction of cell viability/cytotoxicity could accelerate drug development in the early stage. In this study, by integrating cellular transcriptome and cell viability data using four machine learning algorithms (support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), and light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM)) and two ensemble algorithms (voting and stacking), highly accurate prediction models of 50% and 80% cell viability were developed with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.90 and 0.84, respectively; these models also showed good performance when utilized for diverse cell lines.
