Title:“A gut feeling: Biomedical knowledge graphs for interrelating the gut microbiome and mental health”
Abstract: We investigated the association between gut microbiota and mental health by constructing biomedical knowledge graphs sourced from scientific literature, including text and depicted molecular pathway graphs, and public databases, where the information is retrieved using a combination of automated and manual techniques. We constructed three knowledge graphs: Microbiota Knowledge Graph (MiKG), Pre-/Probiotics Knowledge Graph (PPKG), and Ketamine Pathway (KetPath) Knowledge Graph. Querying the integrated knowledge graphs revealed novel insights into the intricate interplay between gut microbiota, neurotransmitters, and mental disorders, ranging from the general level, such as potential new overall strategies for using probiotics in treating mental disorders, to the specific level, such as particular expression patterns of the bdnf gene in certain health conditions.
