An Artificial Intelligent Signal Amplification System for in vivo Detection of miRNA.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNA) have been identified as oncogenic drivers and tumor suppressors in every major cancer type. In this work, we design an artificial intelligent signal amplification (AISA) system including double-stranded SQ (S, signal strand; Q, quencher strand) and FP (F, fuel strand; P, protect strand) according to thermodynamics principle for sensitive detection of miRNA in vitro and in vivo. In this AISA system for miRNA detection, strand S carries a quenched imaging marker inside the SQ. Target miRNA is constantly replaced by a reaction intermediate and circulatively participates in the reaction, similar to enzyme. Therefore, abundant fluorescent substances from S and SP are dissociated from excessive SQ for in vitro and in vivo visualization. The versatility and feasibility for disease diagnosis using this system were demonstrated by constructing two types of AISA system to detect Hsa-miR-484 and Hsa-miR-100, respectively. The minimum target concentration detected by the system in vitro (10 min after mixing) was 1/10th that of the control group. The precancerous lesions of liver cancer were diagnosed, and the detection accuracy were larger than 94% both in terms of location and concentration. The ability to establish this design framework for AISA system with high specificity provides a new way to monitor tumor progression and to assess therapeutic responses.

Project description:Background: Currently, Parkinson's disease (PD) diagnosis is mainly based on medical history and physical examination, and there is no objective and consistent basis. By the time of diagnosis, the disease would have progressed to the middle and late stages. Pilot studies have shown that a unique smell was present in the skin sebum of PD patients. This increases the possibility of a noninvasive diagnosis of PD using an odor profile. Methods: Fast gas chromatography (GC) combined with a surface acoustic wave sensor with embedded machine learning (ML) algorithms was proposed to establish an artificial intelligent olfactory (AIO) system for the diagnosis of Parkinson's through smell. Sebum samples of 43 PD patients and 44 healthy controls (HCs) from Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, China, were smelled by the AIO system. Univariate and multivariate methods were used to identify the significant volatile organic compound (VOC) features in the chromatograms. ML algorithms, including support vector machine, random forest (RF), k nearest neighbor (KNN), AdaBoost (AB), and Naive Bayes (NB), were used to distinguish PD patients from HC based on the VOC peaks in the chromatograms of sebum samples. Results: VOC peaks with average retention times of 5.7, 6.0, and 10.6 s, respectively, corresponding to octanal, hexyl acetate, and perillic aldehyde, were significantly different in PD and HC. The accuracy of the classification based on the significant features was 70.8%. Based on the odor profile, the classification had the highest accuracy and F1 of the five models with 0.855 from NB and 0.846 from AB, respectively, in the process of model establishing. The highest specificity and sensitivity of the five classifiers were 91.6% from NB and 91.7% from RF and KNN, respectively, in the evaluating set. Conclusions: The proposed AIO system can be used to diagnose PD through the odor profile of sebum. Using the AIO system is helpful for the screening and diagnosis of PD and is conducive to further tracking and frequent monitoring of the PD treatment process.

Project description:BackgroundAbout 30% of cell lines have been cellular cross-contaminated and misidentification, which can result in invalidated experimental results and unusable therapeutic products. Cell morphology under the microscope was observed routinely, and further DNA sequencing analysis was performed periodically to verify cell line identity, but the sequencing analysis was costly, time-consuming, and labor intensive. The purpose of this study was to construct a novel artificial intelligence (AI) technology for "cell face" recognition, in which can predict DNA-level identification labels only using cell images.MethodsSeven commonly used cell lines were cultured and co-cultured in pairs (totally 8 categories) to simulated the situation of pure and cross-contaminated cells. The microscopy images were obtained and labeled of cell types by the result of short tandem repeat profiling. About 2 million patch images were used for model training and testing. AlexNet was used to demonstrate the effectiveness of convolutional neural network (CNN) in cell classification. To further improve the feasibility of detecting cross-contamination, the bilinear network for fine-grained identification was constructed. The specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy of the model were tested separately by external validation. Finally, the cell semantic segmentation was conducted by DilatedNet.ResultsThe cell texture and density were the influencing factors that can be better recognized by the bilinear convolutional neural network (BCNN) comparing to AlexNet. The BCNN achieved 99.5% accuracy in identifying seven pure cell lines and 86.3% accuracy for detecting cross-contamination (mixing two of the seven cell lines). DilatedNet was applied to the semantic segment for analyzing in single-cell level and achieved an accuracy of 98.2%.ConclusionsThe deep CNN model proposed in this study has the ability to recognize small differences in cell morphology, and achieved high classification accuracy.
