Machine learning using convolutional neural networks for SERS analysis of biomarkers in medical diagnostics.

ABSTRACT: Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has wide diagnostic applications because of narrow spectral features that allow multiplexed analysis. Machine learning (ML) has been used for non-dye-labeled SERS spectra but has not been applied to SERS dye-labeled materials with known spectral shapes. Here, we compare the performances of spectral decomposition, support vector regression, random forest regression, partial least squares regression, and convolutional neural network (CNN) for SERS "spectral unmixing" from a multiplexed mixture of 7 SERS-active "nanorattles" loaded with different dyes for mRNA biomarker detection. We showed that CNN most accurately determined relative contributions of each distinct dye-loaded nanorattle. CNN and comparative models were then used to analyze SERS spectra from a singleplexed, point-of-care assay detecting an mRNA biomarker for head and neck cancer in 20 samples. The CNN, trained on simulated multiplexed data, determined the correct dye contributions from the singleplex assay with RMSE_label = 6.42 × 10^-2. These results demonstrate the potential of CNN-based ML to advance SERS-based diagnostics.

Project description:BackgroundAtherosclerosis, a complex chronic vascular disorder with multifactorial etiology, stands as the primary culprit behind consequential cardiovascular events, imposing a substantial societal and economic burden. Nevertheless, our current understanding of its pathogenesis remains imprecise. In this investigation, our objective is to establish computational models elucidating molecular-level markers associated with atherosclerosis. This endeavor involves the integration of advanced machine learning techniques and comprehensive bioinformatics analyses.Materials and methodsOur analysis incorporated data from three publicly available the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets: GSE100927 (104 samples, 30,558 genes), which includes atherosclerotic lesions and control arteries from carotid, femoral, and infra-popliteal arteries of deceased organ donors; GSE43292 (64 samples, 23,307 genes), consisting of paired carotid endarterectomy samples from 32 hypertensive patients, comparing atheroma plaques and intact tissues; and GSE159677 (30,498 single cells, 33,538 genes), examining single-cell transcriptomes of calcified atherosclerotic core plaques and adjacent carotid artery tissues from patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy. Utilizing single-cell sequencing, highly variable atherosclerotic monocyte subpopulations were systematically identified. We analyzed cellular communication patterns with temporal dynamics. The bioinformatics approach Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) identified key modules, constructing a Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network from module-associated genes. Three machine-learning models derived marker genes, formulated through logistic regression and validated via convolutional neural network(CNN) modeling. Subtypes were clustered based on Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA) scores, validated through immunoassays.ResultsThree pivotal atherosclerosis-associated genes-CD36, S100A10, CSNK1A1-were unveiled, offering valuable clinical insights. Profiling based on these genes delineated two distinct isoforms: C2 demonstrated potent microbicidal activity, while C1 engaged in inflammation regulation, tissue repair, and immune homeostasis. Molecular docking analyses explored therapeutic potential for Estradiol, Zidovudine, Indinavir, and Dronabinol for clinical applications.ConclusionThis study introduces three signature genes for atherosclerosis, shaping a novel paradigm for investigating clinical immunological medications. It distinguishes the high biocidal C2 subtype from the inflammation-modulating C1 subtype, utilizing identified signature gene as crucial targets.

Project description:In the present work, we address the problem of utilizing machine learning (ML) methods to predict the thermal properties of polymers by establishing "structure-property" relationships. Having focused on a particular class of heterocyclic polymers, namely polyimides (PIs), we developed a graph convolutional neural network (GCNN), being one of the most promising tools for working with big data, to predict the PI glass transition temperature T g as an example of the fundamental property of polymers. To train the GCNN, we propose an original methodology based on using a "transfer learning" approach with an enormous "synthetic" data set for pretraining and a small experimental data set for its fine-tuning. The "synthetic" data set contains more than 6 million combinatorically generated repeating units of PIs and theoretical values of their T g values calculated using the well-established Askadskii's quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) computational scheme. Additionally, an experimental data set for 214 PIs was also collected from the literature for training, fine-tuning, and validation of the GCNN. Both "synthetic" and experimental data sets are included into a PolyAskInG database (Polymer Askadskii's Intelligent Gateway). By using the PolyAskInG database, we developed GCNN which allows estimation of T g of PI with a mean absolute error (MAE) of about 20 K, which is 1.5 times lower than in the case of Askadskii QSPR analysis (33 K). To prove the efficiency and usability of the proposed GCNN architecture and training methodology for predicting polymer properties, we also employed "transfer learning" to develop alternative GCNN pretrained on proxy-characteristics taken from the popular quantum-chemical QM9 database for small compounds and fine-tuned on an experimental T g values data set from PolyAskInG database. The obtained results indicate that pretraining of GCNN on the "synthetic" polymer data set provides MAE which is almost twice as low as that in the case of using the QM9 data set in the pretraining stage (∼41 K). Furthermore, we address the questions associated with the influence of the differences in the size of the experimental and "synthetic" data sets (so-called "reality gap" problem), as well as their chemical composition on the training quality. Our results state the overall priority of using polymer data sets for developing deep neural networks, and GCNN in particular, for efficient prediction of polymer properties. Moreover, our work opens up a challenge for the theoretically supported generation of large "synthetic" data sets of polymer properties for the training of the complex ML models. The proposed methodology is rather versatile and may be generalized for predicting other properties of different polymers and copolymers synthesized through the polycondensation reaction.
