Evaluation of Plasma Extracellular Vesicle MicroRNA Signatures for Lung Adenocarcinoma and Granuloma With Monte-Carlo Feature Selection Method.

ABSTRACT: Extracellular Vesicle (EV) is a compilation of secreted vesicles, including micro vesicles, large oncosomes, and exosomes. It can be used in non-invasive diagnosis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) processed by exosomes can be detected by liquid biopsy. To objectively evaluate the discriminative ability of miRNAs from whole plasma, EV and EV-free plasma, we analyzed the miRNA expression profiles in whole plasma, EV and EV-free plasma of 10 lung adenocarcinoma and 9 granuloma patients. With Monte-Carlo feature selection method, the top discriminative miRNAs in whole plasma, EV and EV-free plasma were identified, and they were quite different. Using the Repeated Incremental Pruning to Produce Error Reduction (RIPPER) method, we learned the classification rules: in whole plasma, granuloma patients did not express hsa-miR-223-3p while the lung adenocarcinoma patients expressed hsa-miR-223-3p; in EV, the hsa-miR-23b-3p was highly expressed in granuloma patients but not lung adenocarcinoma patients; in EV-free plasma, hsa-miR-376a-3p was expressed in granuloma patients but barely expressed in lung adenocarcinoma patients. For prediction performance, whole plasma had the highest weighted accuracy and EV outperformed EV-free plasma. Our results suggested that EV can be used as lung cancer biomarker. However, since it is less stable and not easy to detect, there are still technological difficulties to overcome.

The Key Genes for Perineural Invasion in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Identified With Monte-Carlo Feature Selection Method.

Project description:BackgroundPancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most aggressive form of pancreatic cancer. Its 5-year survival rate is only 3-5%. Perineural invasion (PNI) is a process of cancer cells invading the surrounding nerves and perineural spaces. It is considered to be associated with the poor prognosis of PDAC. About 90% of pancreatic cancer patients have PNI. The high incidence of PNI in pancreatic cancer limits radical resection and promotes local recurrence, which negatively affects life quality and survival time of the patients with pancreatic cancer.ObjectivesTo investigate the mechanism of PNI in pancreatic cancer, we analyzed the gene expression profiles of tumors and adjacent tissues from 50 PDAC patients which included 28 patients with perineural invasion and 22 patients without perineural invasion.MethodUsing Monte-Carlo feature selection and Incremental Feature Selection (IFS) method, we identified 26 key features within which 15 features were from tumor tissues and 11 features were from adjacent tissues.ResultsOur results suggested that not only the tumor tissue, but also the adjacent tissue, was informative for perineural invasion prediction. The SVM classifier based on these 26 key features can predict perineural invasion accurately, with a high accuracy of 0.94 evaluated with leave-one-out cross validation (LOOCV).ConclusionThe in-depth biological analysis of key feature genes, such as TNFRSF14, XPO1, and ATF3, shed light on the understanding of perineural invasion in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Extracellular vesicle-associated microRNA signatures related to lymphovascular invasion in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma.

Project description:Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) is a fundamental step toward the spread of cancer. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) promote cellular communication by shuttling cargo, such as microRNAs (miRNAs). However, whether EV-associated miRNAs serve as biomarkers for LVI remains unclear. This study aimed to identify EV-associated miRNAs related to LVI and validate the miRNA levels from patients with early-stage lung adenocarcinoma (LADC). Blood samples were collected from patients undergoing pulmonary resection for stage I LADC before surgery. The patients were classified into three groups according to the presence of LVI and postoperative recurrence. Serum-derived EVs in the derivation cohort were used for small RNA sequencing, while the selected LVI miRNA candidates were validated via real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction using 44 patient and 16 healthy donor samples as the validation cohorts. Five miRNAs (miR-99b-3p, miR-26a-5p, miR-93-5p, miR-30d-5p, and miR-365b-3p) were assessed, and miR-30d-5p (p = 0.036) levels were significantly downregulated in the LVI-positive group. miR-30d-5p levels in healthy donors were lower than those in LADC patients. Patients with high miR-30d-5p levels had favorable survival compared to those with low miR-30d-5p levels. miR-30d-5p level in EVs may serve as a promising biomarker for detecting LVI in patients with early-stage LADC.

IsoFrog: a reversible jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo feature selection-based method for predicting isoform functions.

Project description:MotivationA single gene may yield several isoforms with different functions through alternative splicing. Continuous efforts are devoted to developing machine-learning methods to predict isoform functions. However, existing methods do not consider the relevance of each feature to specific functions and ignore the noise caused by the irrelevant features. In this case, we hypothesize that constructing a feature selection framework to extract the function-relevant features might help improve the model accuracy in isoform function prediction.ResultsIn this article, we present a feature selection-based approach named IsoFrog to predict isoform functions. First, IsoFrog adopts a reversible jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo (RJMCMC)-based feature selection framework to assess the feature importance to gene functions. Second, a sequential feature selection procedure is applied to select a subset of function-relevant features. This strategy screens the relevant features for the specific function while eliminating irrelevant ones, improving the effectiveness of the input features. Then, the selected features are input into our proposed method modified domain-invariant partial least squares, which prioritizes the most likely positive isoform for each positive MIG and utilizes diPLS for isoform function prediction. Tested on three datasets, our method achieves superior performance over six state-of-the-art methods, and the RJMCMC-based feature selection framework outperforms three classic feature selection methods. We expect this proposed methodology will promote the identification of isoform functions and further inspire the development of new methods.Availability and implementationIsoFrog is freely available at https://github.com/genemine/IsoFrog.

MCPeSe: Monte Carlo penalty selection for graphical lasso.

Project description:MotivationGraphical lasso (Glasso) is a widely used tool for identifying gene regulatory networks in systems biology. However, its computational efficiency depends on the choice of regularization parameter (tuning parameter), and selecting this parameter can be highly time consuming. Although fully Bayesian implementations of Glasso alleviate this problem somewhat by specifying a priori distribution for the parameter, these approaches lack the scalability of their frequentist counterparts.ResultsHere, we present a new Monte Carlo Penalty Selection method (MCPeSe), a computationally efficient approach to regularization parameter selection for Glasso. MCPeSe combines the scalability and low computational cost of the frequentist Glasso with the ability to automatically choose the regularization by Bayesian Glasso modeling. MCPeSe provides a state-of-the-art 'tuning-free' model selection criterion for Glasso and allows exploration of the posterior probability distribution of the tuning parameter.Availability and implementationR source code of MCPeSe, a step by step example showing how to apply MCPeSe and a collection of scripts used to prepare the material in this article are publicly available at GitHub under GPL (https://github.com/markkukuismin/MCPeSe/).Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Brain-Derived Extracellular Vesicle microRNA Signatures Associated with In Utero and Postnatal Oxycodone Exposure.

Project description:Oxycodone (oxy) is a semi-synthetic opioid commonly used as a pain medication that is also a widely abused prescription drug. While very limited studies have examined the effect of in utero oxy (IUO) exposure on neurodevelopment, a significant gap in knowledge is the effect of IUO compared with postnatal oxy (PNO) exposure on synaptogenesis-a key process in the formation of synapses during brain development-in the exposed offspring. One relatively unexplored form of cell-cell communication associated with brain development in response to IUO and PNO exposure are extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs are membrane-bound vesicles that serve as carriers of cargo, such as microRNAs (miRNAs). Using RNA-Seq analysis, we identified distinct brain-derived extracellular vesicle (BDEs) miRNA signatures associated with IUO and PNO exposure, including their gene targets, regulating key functional pathways associated with brain development to be more impacted in the IUO offspring. Further treatment of primary 14-day in vitro (DIV) neurons with IUO BDEs caused a significant reduction in spine density compared to treatment with BDEs from PNO and saline groups. In summary, our studies identified for the first time, key BDE miRNA signatures in IUO- and PNO-exposed offspring, which could impact their brain development as well as synaptic function.

Diagnostic potential of extracellular vesicle-associated microRNA-10b and tumor markers for lung adenocarcinoma.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) in extracellular vesicles (EVs) are potential diagnostic markers. The purpose of the present study was to investigate potential EV miRNA biomarkers for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Potential miRNAs were identified by searching public databases and verified by examining clinical samples. The diagnostic value of EV-associated miR-10b, plasma miR-10b and tumor markers (TMs), including α-fetoprotein (AFP), neuron-specific enolase, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cytokeratin 19 fragment 21-1 (CYFRA211), pro-gastrin-releasing-peptide, carbohydrate antigen (CA)125, CA153, CA199 and CA724, was evaluated via receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. By searching the Gene Expression Omnibus and The Cancer Genome Atlas databases, miR-10b was identified as a potential biomarker. The analysis of clinical samples suggested that EV-associated miR-10b from plasma was significantly differentially expressed between LUAD and control samples. EV-associated miR-10b could function as a diagnostic marker for LUAD, with an AUC of 0.998, which was higher than the AUCs for TMs such as AFP, CEA, CYFRA211, CA125, CA153, CA199, CA724, pro-gastrin-releasing-peptide and neuron-specific enolase. In conclusion, EV-associated miR-10b may be a potential diagnostic biomarker for LUAD that is superior to plasma miR-10b and TMs.

Monte Carlo SURE-based parameter selection for parallel magnetic resonance imaging reconstruction.

Project description:Regularizing parallel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reconstruction significantly improves image quality but requires tuning parameter selection. We propose a Monte Carlo method for automatic parameter selection based on Stein's unbiased risk estimate that minimizes the multichannel k-space mean squared error (MSE). We automatically tune parameters for image reconstruction methods that preserve the undersampled acquired data, which cannot be accomplished using existing techniques.We derive a weighted MSE criterion appropriate for data-preserving regularized parallel imaging reconstruction and the corresponding weighted Stein's unbiased risk estimate. We describe a Monte Carlo approximation of the weighted Stein's unbiased risk estimate that uses two evaluations of the reconstruction method per candidate parameter value.We reconstruct images using the denoising sparse images from GRAPPA using the nullspace method (DESIGN) and L1 iterative self-consistent parallel imaging (L1 -SPIRiT). We validate Monte Carlo Stein's unbiased risk estimate against the weighted MSE. We select the regularization parameter using these methods for various noise levels and undersampling factors and compare the results to those using MSE-optimal parameters.Our method selects nearly MSE-optimal regularization parameters for both DESIGN and L1 -SPIRiT over a range of noise levels and undersampling factors.The proposed method automatically provides nearly MSE-optimal choices of regularization parameters for data-preserving nonlinear parallel MRI reconstruction methods.

MERIT: Controlling Monte-Carlo error rate in large-scale Monte-Carlo hypothesis testing.

Project description:The use of Monte-Carlo (MC) p$$ p $$ -values when testing the significance of a large number of hypotheses is now commonplace. In large-scale hypothesis testing, we will typically encounter at least some p$$ p $$ -values near the threshold of significance, which require a larger number of MC replicates than p$$ p $$ -values that are far from the threshold. As a result, some incorrect conclusions can be reached due to MC error alone; for hypotheses near the threshold, even a very large number (eg, 106$$ 1{0}^6 $$ ) of MC replicates may not be enough to guarantee conclusions reached using MC p$$ p $$ -values. Gandy and Hahn (GH)6-8 have developed the only method that directly addresses this problem. They defined a Monte-Carlo error rate (MCER) to be the probability that any decisions on accepting or rejecting a hypothesis based on MC p$$ p $$ -values are different from decisions based on ideal p$$ p $$ -values; their method then makes decisions by controlling the MCER. Unfortunately, the GH method is frequently very conservative, often making no rejections at all and leaving a large number of hypotheses "undecided". In this article, we propose MERIT, a method for large-scale MC hypothesis testing that also controls the MCER but is more statistically efficient than the GH method. Through extensive simulation studies, we demonstrate that MERIT controls the MCER while making more decisions that agree with the ideal p$$ p $$ -values than GH does. We also illustrate our method by an analysis of gene expression data from a prostate cancer study.

Streaming Variational Monte Carlo.

Project description:Nonlinear state-space models are powerful tools to describe dynamical structures in complex time series. In a streaming setting where data are processed one sample at a time, simultaneous inference of the state and its nonlinear dynamics has posed significant challenges in practice. We develop a novel online learning framework, leveraging variational inference and sequential Monte Carlo, which enables flexible and accurate Bayesian joint filtering. Our method provides an approximation of the filtering posterior which can be made arbitrarily close to the true filtering distribution for a wide class of dynamics models and observation models. Specifically, the proposed framework can efficiently approximate a posterior over the dynamics using sparse Gaussian processes, allowing for an interpretable model of the latent dynamics. Constant time complexity per sample makes our approach amenable to online learning scenarios and suitable for real-time applications.

Addressing nonlinearities in Monte Carlo.

Project description:Monte Carlo is famous for accepting model extensions and model refinements up to infinite dimension. However, this powerful incremental design is based on a premise which has severely limited its application so far: a state-variable can only be recursively defined as a function of underlying state-variables if this function is linear. Here we show that this premise can be alleviated by projecting nonlinearities onto a polynomial basis and increasing the configuration space dimension. Considering phytoplankton growth in light-limited environments, radiative transfer in planetary atmospheres, electromagnetic scattering by particles, and concentrated solar power plant production, we prove the real-world usability of this advance in four test cases which were previously regarded as impracticable using Monte Carlo approaches. We also illustrate an outstanding feature of our method when applied to acute problems with interacting particles: handling rare events is now straightforward. Overall, our extension preserves the features that made the method popular: addressing nonlinearities does not compromise on model refinement or system complexity, and convergence rates remain independent of dimension.
