IDENTIFYING RELEVANT PATHWAYS AND BIOMARKERS IN CROHN’S DISEASE USING CONTEXTUALIZED METABOLIC NETWORK MODEL

Candidate markers for Crohn’s Disease (CD) may be identified via gene expression-based construction of metabolic networks (MN). These can computationally describe gene-protein-reaction associations for entire tissues and also predict the flux of reactions (rate of turnover of specific molecules via a metabolic pathway). Recon3D is the most comprehensive human MN to date. We used publicly available CD transcriptomic data along with Recon3D to identify metabolites as potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers.
