Abstract
Present chemotherapeutic drugs have limited efficacy and sever side effects. Considering the complexity of cancer, an effective strategy is to discover multiple new drug targets. Cancer testis antigens are vital of cancer cell progression and drugs targeting these proteins should have no toxicity. We have performed network analysis of cancer testis antigens and assessed nodes as drug targets based on its position in the network. We have analyzed the protein interaction network of 700 human CT antigens based on available information on STRING 9.1 database. CT antigen network consisted of eight independent components. Four major hubs and two minor were identified that play nodal role in flow of information across the largest network. We have predicted 30 potential drug targets by analyzing topological parameters such as betweenness centrality, cluster coefficient and probable protein complexes. Structural and functional roles of potential drug targets were analyzed. Analysis of CT antigen network enables us to identify a set of candidate proteins that if targeted could be detrimental for cancerous cell without affecting any normal cell. The list of putative proteins is a starting point for experimental validation and further discovery of new anti-cancer drugs.
