Pathway Enrichment using Molecular Biology of the Cell Ontology (MBCO):
For pathway enrichment analysis we used the Molecular Biology of the Cell Ontology (MBCO, version 1.1), a focused cell biological ontology (Hansen at al. 2017, mbc-ontology.org). MBCO pathways typically span three to four levels, where the detail of the described biology increases with increasing level numbers. For the data presented here we used only level-3 pathways, since these pathways specify function at the gene level.
All significant MBCO level-3 pathways that were predicted for the top 600 up- and down-regulated genes after averaging the predicted DEGs for each drug across all cell lines are shown.
Up/Down:
This column documents if the pathway was predicted based on the up- or downregulated genes.
Pathway:
Name of the predicted MBCO level-3 pathway.
Enrichment p-value:
P-values were calculated by analyzing the significance of the overlap between all annotated pathway genes and up- or downregulated genes using Fisher’s exact test.
Enrichment rank:
For each drug pathways predicted from up- or downregulated genes were ranked by increasing p-values.
Pathway F1 score AUC:
If a cardiotoxic TKI up- or downregulates a pathway that was identified to be upregulated or downregulated, respectively, at higher ranks by cardiotoxic TKIs than by non-cardiotoxic TKIs, the calculated F1 score AUC for the pathway of interest is shown (for details see Hansen J et al. 2023).
Cardiotoxicity of pathway:
Based on the F1 AUC score, the pathway is up- or downregulated by cardiotoxic TKIs.
Pathway genes:
Within a pathway of interest all annotated genes that are up- or downregulated (as indicated in the column Up/Down) by a drug of interest are shown.
Drug Induced pathways associated with cardiotoxicity
Pathways:
Cardiotoxic pathway that is up- or downregulated at higher ranks by cardiotoxic TKIs as compared to non-cardiotoxic TKIs.
Up/Down:
A pathway is up- or downregulated by cardiotoxic TKIs.
Enrichment rank cutoff:
Pathway predicted from up- or downregulated genes induced by a drug of interest in a cell line of interest were ranked by increasing p-values. F1 score statistics were calculated at each enrichment rank cutoff, as described below.
Precision:
All cardiotoxic and non-cardiotoxic TKI treatments in any cell line that up- or downregulate a pathway of interest with an enrichment rank that is equal or lower to the enrichment rank cutoff are counted. Precision is the ratio of the counted cardiotoxic TKI treatments to total of counted cardiotoxic and non-cardiotoxic TKI treatments for pathway of interest.
Recall:
Indicates the ratio of the counted cardiotoxic TKI treatments for pathway of interest, as described above, to all cardiotoxic treatments.
F1 score (beta=0.25):
A weighted harmonic mean between the precision and recall gives the F1 score. Selecting the weighting factor beta as 0.25, the precision was emphasized over the recall, since we were interested in pathways that indicative of a cardiotoxic response.
F1 score AUC (corrected):
F1 scores over the ranks 1 to 30 were used to calculate the F1 score AUC rank. To emphasize identification of SCPs that are either up- or downregulated by cardiotoxic or non-cardiotoxic TKIs, we introduced a penalty if a pathway was identified as both up- and downregulated by cardiotoxic TKIs.
F1 score AUC rank:
Indicates the rank of all identified corrected F1 score AUCs for both up- and downregulated pathways.
Cardiotoxic TKIs:
List of all cardiotoxic TKIs that up- or downregulate a pathway of interest in the given cell line(s) at the given enrichment rank cutoff or a lower rank.

Arrhythmia MATLAB model
iPSC-CMs:
Cardiomyocytes (CM) derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). Fibroblasts collected from healthy volunteers are reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells, then the iPSCs are differentiated into ventricular cardiomyocytes that spontaneously beat. For details see Schaniel et al Stem Cell Reports (16(12):3036-3049. doi: 10.1016/j.stemcr.2021.10.005.).
Gene-model parameter relationship:
Mapping between drug-induced alterations in gene expression levels and changes in model parameters for simulations.
Action potential:
Waveform of cellular membrane voltage versus time. The increase in membrane voltage and subsequent decrease in voltage initiate the contraction and relaxation phases of the cardiac cycle. Action potentials in mature ventricular myocytes require electrical stimulation but occur spontaneously in most iPSC-CM preparations.
Calcium transients:
Transient elevation of intracellular calcium, and subsequent reduction, in response to action potentials.
Sarcomere length change:
Measure of iPSC-CM contraction that quantifies the distance between adjacent subcellular molecular landmarks. Decreases and increases in sarcomere length correspond to contraction and relaxation, respectively.

An IPSC-CM line obtained from subject 2 for details see Schaniel C et al. (2021).
MSN09-4:
An iPSC-CM line obtained from subject 9 for details see Schaniel C et al. (2021).

Hypertrophy model:
One main script and four dependent functions that together compute both the dynamic and the steady-state activity profiles of several intracellular signals associated with hypertrophy, or inappropriate cardiomyocyte growth.
