MechAInistic: An LLM-guided Multi-Agent System for Reasoning over Genome-Scale Constraint-Based Metabolic Models
- 基于大模型的多智能体架构,将问题转化为可执行工作流。
- 在类风湿性关节炎和多发性硬化症数据中发现关键代谢靶点。
- 适合生物医学研究者快速生成可追溯的治疗假说。
基于约束的代谢建模是研究细胞状态与疾病机制的重要方法,但其应用需要较高的计算专业能力及多步骤分析协调。我们开发了MechAInistic,通过大语言模型支持的多智能体系统,将自然语言问题转化为可执行、模型驱动的工作流,并生成结构化报告。该系统支持通路比较、扰动分析、药物靶点探索及跨代谢模型状态的文献关联解释。我们在两个配对的免疫细胞代谢模型案例中评估了该系统:针对类风湿性关节炎患者与健康对照的未成熟B细胞,识别出线粒体代谢重编程,并提出以德维米斯他(Devimistat/CPI-613)为中心的治疗假说;在多发性硬化症与健康对照的CD4+ Th17细胞研究中,确定了依赖NADP的异柠檬酸脱氢酶为最优单靶点,并提出伊沃西地尼(ivosidenib)作为已获批药物的再利用候选。结果表明,MechAInistic能将自然语言生物学问题转化为可追踪的、基于模型的治疗假说生成工作流。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Constraint-based metabolic modeling is a powerful way to study the mechanistic basis of cellular states and disease, but its effective use demands substantial computational expertise and careful coordination of multi-step analyses. We developed MechAInistic to lower this barrier and enable researchers to ask complex biological questions in natural language. Harnessing large language models, MechAInistic is a multi-agent system organized around an Architect-Reviewer pattern that transforms a natural-language question into an executable, model-grounded workflow and generates a structured report. The system supports a variety of tasks, including pathway comparison, perturbation analysis, drug-target exploration, and literature-grounded interpretation across paired metabolic model states. We developed and evaluated MechAInistic using two paired immune-cell metabolic-model use cases for therapeutic hypothesis generation. For Naive B cells from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) paired with healthy controls, MechAInistic identified mitochondrial metabolic rewiring and nominated Devimistat/CPI-613 as an investigational OGDH-centered hypothesis. In a paired CD4+ Th17 cell study from multiple sclerosis (MS) and healthy controls, the same workflow identified NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase as the optimal single target and proposed ivosidenib as an FDA-approved repurposing candidate. Together, these results show that MechAInistic converts natural-language biological questions into executable, model-grounded workflows for traceable therapeutic hypothesis generation.
