cTRAP: identifying candidate causal perturbations from differential gene expression data
Bernardo P. de Almeida & Nuno Saraiva-Agostinho
2024-10-29
Introduction
cTRAP is an R package designed to compare differential gene expression results with those from known cellular perturbations (such as gene knockdown, overexpression or small molecules) derived from the Connectivity Map (CMap; Subramanian et al., Cell 2017). Such analyses allow not only to infer the molecular causes of the observed difference in gene expression but also to identify small molecules that could drive or revert specific transcriptomic alterations.
To illustrate the package functionalities, we will use an example based on a gene knockdown dataset from the ENCODE project for which there is available RNA-seq data. After performing differential expression analyses to the matched-control sample, we will compare the respective transcriptomic changes with the ones caused by all CMap’s gene knockdown perturbations to identify which ones have similar or inverse transcriptomic changes to the observed ones. As a positive control, we expect to find the knock-down of the gene depleted in the ENCODE experiment as one of the most similar transcriptomic perturbations.
Getting started
To load the cTRAP package into your R environment type:
## Registered S3 method overwritten by 'quantmod':
## method from
## as.zoo.data.frame zoo
Load CMap perturbation data
We will use our differential gene expression metric to compare with CMap’s gene knock-down perturbations in the same cell line (HepG2). Note that this comparison can also be done to perturbations in a different cell line (or in all cell lines using the average result across cell lines).
To summarise conditions and check available data in CMap, we can use the following commands to download CMap metadata:
# Load CMap metadata (automatically downloaded if not found)
cmapMetadata <- loadCMapData("cmapMetadata.txt", type="metadata")
## cmapMetadata.txt not found: downloading data...
## Extracting cmapMetadata.txt.gz...
## Loading CMap metadata from cmapMetadata.txt...
# Summarise conditions for all CMap perturbations

Now, we will filter the metadata to CMap gene knockdown perturbations in HepG2 and load associated gene information and differential gene expression data based on the given filename (the file is automatically downloaded if it does not exist).
Differential gene expression data for each CMap perturbation are available in normalised z-score values (read Subramanian et al., Cell 2017 for more details). As the file is big (around 20GB), a prompt will ask to confirm whether to download the file. If you prefer, you can also download the file yourself:
# Filter CMap gene knockdown HepG2 data to be loaded
cmapMetadataKD <- filterCMapMetadata(
cmapMetadata, cellLine="HepG2",
perturbationType="Consensus signature from shRNAs targeting the same gene")
# Load filtered data (data will be downloaded if not found)
cmapPerturbationsKD <- prepareCMapPerturbations(
metadata=cmapMetadataKD, zscores="cmapZscores.gctx",
geneInfo="cmapGeneInfo.txt")
If interested in small molecules, the differential gene expression z-scores from CMap can be downloaded for each small molecule perturbation:
# Filter CMap gene small molecule HepG2 data to be loaded
cmapMetadataCompounds <- filterCMapMetadata(
cmapMetadata, cellLine="HepG2", perturbationType="Compound")
# Load filtered data (data will be downloaded if not found)
cmapPerturbationsCompounds <- prepareCMapPerturbations(
metadata=cmapMetadataCompounds, zscores="cmapZscores.gctx",
geneInfo="cmapGeneInfo.txt", compoundInfo="cmapCompoundInfo.txt")
Comparison with CMap perturbations
The rankSimilarPerturbations function compares the differential expression metric (the t-statistic, in this case) against the CMap perturbations’ z-scores using the available methods:
- Spearman’s correlation
- Pearson’s correlation
- Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), where the most up- and down-regulated n genes from the user’s differential expression profile are used as gene sets (by default, n = 150 genes)
To compare against CMap knockdown perturbations using all the previous methods:
compareKD <- rankSimilarPerturbations(diffExprStat, cmapPerturbationsKD)
To compare against selected CMap small molecule perturbations:
compareCompounds <- rankSimilarPerturbations(diffExprStat,
cmapPerturbationsCompounds)
The output table contains the results of the comparison with each perturbation tested, including the test statistics (Spearman’s correlation coefficient, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and/or GSEA score), the respective p-value and the Benjamini-Hochberg-adjusted p-value (for correlation statistics only). When performing multiple methods, the rank product’s rank will be included to summarise other method’s rankings.
# Most positively associated perturbations (note that EIF4G1 knockdown is the
# 7th, 1st and 2nd most positively associated perturbation based on Spearman's
# correlation, Pearson's correlation and GSEA, respectively)

The Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) score is based on the Weighted Connectivity Score (WTCS), a composite and bi-directional version of the weighted Kolmogorov-Smirnov enrichment statistic (ES) (Subramanian et al., Cell 2017).
To calculate the GSEA score, GSEA is run for the most up- and down-regulated genes from the user’s differential expression profile. The GSEA score is the mean between EStop and ESbottom (however, if EStop and ESbottom have the same sign, the GSEA score is 0).
If a perturbation has a similar differential expression profile to our data (higher GSEA score), we expect to see the most up-regulated (down-regulated) genes in the perturbation enriched in the top (bottom) n differentially expressed genes from our data.

Relationship plots
To analyse the relationship between the user-provided differential expression profile with that associated with a specific perturbation, scatter plots (for Spearman and Pearson analyses) and GSEA plots are available.
For instance, let’s plot the relationship between EIF4G1 shRNA knockdown from ENCODE with the CMap knockdown perturbations:
# Plot relationship with EIF4G1 knockdown from CMap
plot(compareKD, EIF4G1knockdown, "spearman")
plot(compareKD, EIF4G1knockdown, "pearson")
plot(compareKD, EIF4G1knockdown, "gsea")
# Plot relationship with most negatively associated perturbation
plot(compareKD, compareKD[order(-spearman_rank)][1, 1], "spearman")
plot(compareKD, compareKD[order(-pearson_rank)][1, 1], "pearson")
plot(compareKD, compareKD[order(-GSEA_rank)][1, 1], "gsea")
For small molecules:
# Plot relationship with most positively associated perturbation
plot(compareCompounds, compareCompounds[order(spearman_rank)][1, 1], "spearman")
plot(compareCompounds, compareCompounds[order(pearson_rank)][1, 1], "pearson")
plot(compareCompounds, compareCompounds[order(GSEA_rank)][1, 1], "gsea")
# Plot relationship with most negatively associated perturbation
plot(compareCompounds, compareCompounds[order(-spearman_rank)][1,1], "spearman")
plot(compareCompounds, compareCompounds[order(-pearson_rank)][1, 1], "pearson")
plot(compareCompounds, compareCompounds[order(-GSEA_rank)][1, 1], "gsea")
Predict targeting drugs
Compounds that target the phenotypes associated with the user-provided differential expression profile can be inferred by comparing against gene expression and drug sensitivity associations. The gene expression and drug sensitivity datasets derived from the following sources were correlated using Spearman’s correlation across the available cell lines.
To use an expression and drug sensitivity association based on CTRP 2.1 (GDSC 7 and NCI60 could be used instead) to infer targeting drugs for the user’s differential expression profile:
listExpressionDrugSensitivityAssociation()
## [1] "GDSC 7" "CTRP 2.1" "NCI60"
ctrp <- listExpressionDrugSensitivityAssociation()[[2]]
assoc <- loadExpressionDrugSensitivityAssociation(ctrp)

Compounds are ranked by their relative targeting potential based on the input differential expression profile (i.e. the 1st-ranked compound has higher targeting potential than the 2nd-ranked one).
Candidate targeting drugs can be plotted against the similarity ranking of their perturbations towards the user’s differential expression profile. Note that the highlighted values are the same compounds for the following plots annotated with their name, gene target and mechanism of action (MOA), respectively.
# Label by compound name

Molecular descriptor enrichment analysis
Next, from our candidate targeting drugs, we will analyse the enrichment of 2D and 3D molecular descriptors based on CMap and NCI60 compounds. This allows to check if targeting drugs are particularly enriched in specific drug descriptors and may be useful to think about the relevance of these descriptors for targeting a phenotype of interest.
descriptors <- loadDrugDescriptors("CMap", "2D")
## compound_descriptors_CMap_2D.qs not found: downloading data...
drugSets <- prepareDrugSets(descriptors)
dsea <- analyseDrugSetEnrichment(drugSets, predicted)
