Identifying drug-drug interactions (DDIs) is essential to prevent adverse effects from polypharmacy. Although deep learning has advanced DDI identification, the gap between powerful models and their lack of clinical application and evaluation has hindered clinical benefits. Here, we developed a Multi-Dimensional Feature Fusion model named MDFF, which integrates one-dimensional simplified molecular input line entry system sequence features, two-dimensional molecular graph features, and three-dimensional geometric features to enhance drug representations for predicting DDIs. MDFF was trained and validated on two DDI datasets, evaluated across three distinct scenarios, and compared with advanced DDI prediction models using accuracy, precision, recall, area under the curve, and F1 score metrics. MDFF achieved state-of-the-art performance across all metrics. Ablation experiments showed that integrating multi-dimensional drug features yielded the best results. More importantly, we obtained adverse drug reaction reports uploaded by Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from 2021 to 2023 and used MDFF to identify potential adverse DDIs. Among 12 real-world adverse drug reaction reports, the predictions of 9 reports were supported by relevant evidence. Additionally, MDFF demonstrated the ability to explain adverse DDI mechanisms, providing insights into the mechanisms behind one specific report and highlighting its potential to assist practitioners in improving medical practice.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of sulforaphane on the prolifera tion and apoptosis of human renal tubular epithelial cells HK- 2 induced by high glucose ,and to investigate its mechanism primarily. METHODS :HK-2 cells were divided into normal group ,high glucose group ,irbesartan group (positive control ,1 μmol/L),sulforaphane low ,medium and high concentration groups (10,20,40 μmol/L). The cells in normal group were cultured in DMEM medium for 96 hours. T he cells in other groups were cultured in high glucose DMEM medium (containing 40 mmol/L glucose )for 48 hours. After inducing cell injury,the cells were added with corresponding drugs for 48 hours. Survival rate and apoptotic rate of cells were detected. mRNA expression of cyclin D 1,caspase-3,Bcl-2 and Bax as well as protein expression of p-mTOR ,p-AMPK,p-Akt and p-PI 3K were also determined. In addition ,HK-2 cells were divided into normal group ,high glucose group ,sulforaphane high concentration group(40 μmol/L),acardicin group (AMPK agonist ,1 mmol/L),sulforaphane high concentration+compound C group (sulforaphane 40 μmol/L+AMPK inhibitor compound C 40 μmol/L),perifoxine group (Akt inhibitor ,19.95 μmol/L)、sulforaphane high concentration+SC 79 group(sulforaphane 40 μmol/L+Akt agonist SC79 4 μmol/L). After cultured with the same method , protein expression of p-mTOR ,p-AMPK,p-Akt and p-PI 3K were detected in HK- 2 cells. RESULTS :Compared with normal group,survival rate of HK- 2 cells,mRNA expression of cyclin D 1 and Bcl- 2 as well as protein expression of p-AMPK were decreased significantly in high glucose group (P<0.05);apoptotic rate ,mRNA expression of caspase- 3 and Bax ,protein expression of p-mTOR ,p-Akt and p-PI 3K in HK- 2 cells were increased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with high glucose group,above indexes of sulforaphane low ,medium and high concentration groups ,irbesartan group were all improved significantly (P<0.05);the improvement of above indexes in sulforaphane medium and high concentration groups were significantly better those of sulforaphane low concentration group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in above indexes between sulforaphane high concentration group and irbesartan group (P>0.05). Compared with sulforaphane high concentration group,there were no significant difference in the protein expression of p-AMPK ,p-mTOR in acardicin group and p-mTOR ,p-Akt and p-PI 3K in perifoxine group (P>0.05);the protein expression of p-AMPK in sulforaphane high concentration+compound C group was decreased significantly (P<0.05),while the protein expression of p-mTOR was increased significantly (P<0.05);the protein expression of p-mTOR 、p-Akt、p-PI3K in sulforaphane high concentration+SC 79 group were increased significantly (P< 0.05). CONCLUSIONS :Sulforaphane can promote the proliferation of renal tubular epithelial cells and inhibit its apoptosis ;its mechanism may be associated with up-regulating the expression of p-AMPK and down-regulating the expression of p-mTOR ,p-Akt and p-PI 3K.
