Phrase mining of textual data to analyze extracellular matrix protein patterns across cardiovascular disease.

ABSTRACT: Extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins have been shown to play important roles regulating multiple biological processes in an array of organ systems, including the cardiovascular system. Using a novel bioinformatics text-mining tool, we studied six categories of cardiovascular disease (CVD), namely, ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathies, cerebrovascular accident, congenital heart disease, arrhythmias, and valve disease, anticipating novel ECM protein-disease and protein-protein relationships hidden within vast quantities of textual data. We conducted a phrase-mining analysis, delineating the relationships of 709 ECM proteins with the 6 groups of CVDs reported in 1,099,254 abstracts. The technology pipeline known as Context-Aware Semantic Online Analytical Processing was applied to semantic
