Omics Integration Analysis Unravel the Landscape of Driving Mechanisms of Colorectal Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most malignant cancers and results in a substantial rate of morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis of this malignancy in early stages increases the chance of effective treatment. High-throughput data analyses reveal omics signatures and also provide the possibility of developing computational models for early detection of this disease. Such models would be able to use as complementary tools for early detection of different types of cancers including CRC. In this study, using gene expression data, the Flux balance analysis (FBA) applied to decode metabolic fluxes in cancer and normal cells. Moreover, transcriptome and genome analyses revealed driver agents of CRC in a biological network scheme. By applying comprehensive publicly available data from TCGA, different aspect of CRC regulome including the regulatory effect of gene expression, methylation, microRNA, copy number aberration and point mutation profile over protein levels investigated and the results provide a regulatory picture underlying CRC. Compiling omics profiles indicated snapshots of changes in different omics levels and flux rate of CRC. In conclusion, considering obtained CRC signatures and their role in biological operating systems of cells, the results suggest reliable driver regulatory modules that could potentially serve as biomarkers and therapeutic targets and furthermore expand our understanding of driving mechanisms of this disease.

Project description:Drug sensitivity prediction models for human cancer cell lines constitute important tools in identifying potential computational biomarkers for responsiveness in a pre-clinical setting. Integrating information derived from a range of heterogeneous data is crucial, but remains non-trivial, as differences in data structures may hinder fitting algorithms from assigning adequate weights to complementary information that is contained in distinct omics data. In order to counteract this effect that tends to lead to just one data type dominating supposedly multi-omics models, we developed a novel tool that enables users to train single-omics models separately in a first step and to integrate them into a multi-omics model in a second step. Extensive ablation studies are performed in order to facilitate an in-depth evaluation of the respective contributions of singular data types and of combinations thereof, effectively identifying redundancies and interdependencies between them. Moreover, the integration of the single-omics models is realized by a range of distinct classification algorithms, thus allowing for a performance comparison. Sets of molecular events and tissue types found to be related to significant shifts in drug sensitivity are returned to facilitate a comprehensive and straightforward analysis of potential computational biomarkers for drug responsiveness. Our two-step approach yields sets of actual multi-omics pan-cancer classification models that are highly predictive for a majority of drugs in the GDSC data base. In the context of targeted drugs with particular modes of action, its predictive performances compare favourably to those of classification models that incorporate multi-omics data in a simple one-step approach. Additionally, case studies demonstrate that it succeeds both in correctly identifying known key biomarkers for sensitivity towards specific drug compounds as well as in providing sets of potential candidates for additional computational biomarkers.
