In this paper, the authors propose a metapath-aggregated heterogeneous graph neural network (MHGNN) for drug-target interaction (DTI) prediction. By modeling high-order relations via metapaths, MHGNN is able to capture complex structures and rich semantics in the biological heterogeneous graph. Experimental results demonstrate that MHGNN outperforms 17 state-of-the-art methods in drug repositioning.
Drug-target interaction (DTI) prediction is an essential step in drug repositioning. A few graph neural network (GNN)-based methods have been proposed for DTI prediction using heterogeneous biological data. However, existing GNN-based methods only aggregate information from directly connected nodes restricted in a drug-related or a target-related network and are incapable of capturing high-order dependencies in the biological heterogeneous graph. In this paper, we propose a metapath-aggregated heterogeneous graph neural network (MHGNN) to capture complex structures and rich semantics in the biological heterogeneous graph for DTI prediction. Specifically, MHGNN enhances heterogeneous graph structure learning and high-order semantics learning by modeling high-order relations via metapaths. Additionally, MHGNN enriches high-order correlations between drug-target pairs (DTPs) by constructing a DTP correlation graph with DTPs as nodes. We conduct extensive experiments on three biological heterogeneous datasets. MHGNN favorably surpasses 17 state-of-the-art methods over 6 evaluation metrics, which verifies its efficacy for DTI prediction. The code is available at https://github.com/Zora-LM/MHGNN-DTI.
