Data-analysis strategies for image-based cell profiling.

ABSTRACT: Image-based cell profiling is a high-throughput strategy for the quantification of phenotypic differences among a variety of cell populations. It paves the way to studying biological systems on a large scale by using chemical and genetic perturbations. The general workflow for this technology involves image acquisition with high-throughput microscopy systems and subsequent image processing and analysis. Here, we introduce the steps required to create high-quality image-based (i.e., morphological) profiles from a collection of microscopy images. We recommend techniques that have proven useful in each stage of the data analysis process, on the basis of the experience of 20 laboratories worldwide that are refining their image-based cell-profiling methodologies in pursuit of biological discovery. The recommended techniques cover alternatives that may suit various biological goals, experimental designs, and laboratories' preferences.

Project description:We aimed to assess the use of automatic machine learning (AutoML) algorithm based on magnetic resonance (MR) image data to assign prediction scores to patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). We also aimed to develop a 4-group classification system for NPC, superior to the current clinical staging system. Between January 2010 and January 2013, 792 patients with recent diagnosis of NPC, who had MR image data, were enrolled in the study. The AutoML algorithm was used and all statistical analyses were based on the 10-fold test. Primary endpoints included the probabilities of overall survival (OS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), and local-region relapse-free survival (LRFS), and their sum was recorded as the final voting score, representative of progression-free survival (PFS) for each patient. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve generated from the MR image data-based model compared with the tumor, node, and metastasis (TNM) system-based model was 0.796 (P=0.008) for OS, 0.752 (P=0.053) for DMFS, and 0.721 (P=0.025) for LRFS. The Kaplan-Meier (KM) test values for II/I, III/II, IV/III groups in our new machine learning-based scoring system were 0.011, 0.010, and <0.001, respectively, whereas those for II/I, III/II, IV/III groups in the TNM/American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) system were 0.118, 0.121, and <0.001, respectively. Significant differences were observed in the new machine learning-based scoring system analysis of each curve (P < 0.05), whereas the P values of curves obtained from the TNM/AJCC system, between II/I and III/II, were 0.118 and 0.121, respectively, without a significant difference. In conclusion, the AutoML algorithm demonstrated better prognostic performance than the TNM/AJCC system for NPC. The algorithm showed a good potential for clinical application and may aid in improving counseling and facilitate the personalized management of patients with NPC. The clinical application of our new scoring and staging system may significantly improve precision medicine.
