Project description:Knowing metastasis is the primary cause of cancer-related deaths, incentivized research directed towards unraveling the complex cellular processes that drive the metastasis. Advancement in technology and specifically the advent of high-throughput sequencing provides knowledge of such processes. This knowledge led to the development of therapeutic and clinical applications, and is now being used to predict the onset of metastasis to improve diagnostics and disease therapies. In this regard, predicting metastasis onset has also been explored using artificial intelligence approaches that are machine learning, and more recently, deep learning-based. This review summarizes the different machine learning and deep learning-based metastasis prediction methods developed to date. We also detail the different types of molecular data used to build the models and the critical signatures derived from the different methods. We further highlight the challenges associated with using machine learning and deep learning methods, and provide suggestions to improve the predictive performance of such methods.

Project description:Background and objectiveDiabetes is a life-threatening chronic disease with a growing global prevalence, necessitating early diagnosis and treatment to prevent severe complications. Machine learning has emerged as a promising approach for diabetes diagnosis, but challenges such as limited labeled data, frequent missing values, and dataset imbalance hinder the development of accurate prediction models. Therefore, a novel framework is required to address these challenges and improve performance.MethodsIn this study, we propose an innovative pipeline-based multi-classification framework to predict diabetes in three classes: diabetic, non-diabetic, and prediabetes, using the imbalanced Iraqi Patient Dataset of Diabetes. Our framework incorporates various pre-processing techniques, including duplicate sample removal, attribute conversion, missing value imputation, data normalization and standardization, feature selection, and k-fold cross-validation. Furthermore, we implement multiple machine learning models, such as k-NN, SVM, DT, RF, AdaBoost, and GNB, and introduce a weighted ensemble approach based on the Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUC) to address dataset imbalance. Performance optimization is achieved through grid search and Bayesian optimization for hyper-parameter tuning.ResultsOur proposed model outperforms other machine learning models, including k-NN, SVM, DT, RF, AdaBoost, and GNB, in predicting diabetes. The model achieves high average accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and AUC values of 0.9887, 0.9861, 0.9792, 0.9851, and 0.999, respectively.ConclusionOur pipeline-based multi-classification framework demonstrates promising results in accurately predicting diabetes using an imbalanced dataset of Iraqi diabetic patients. The proposed framework addresses the challenges associated with limited labeled data, missing values, and dataset imbalance, leading to improved prediction performance. This study highlights the potential of machine learning techniques in diabetes diagnosis and management, and the proposed framework can serve as a valuable tool for accurate prediction and improved patient care. Further research can build upon our work to refine and optimize the framework and explore its applicability in diverse datasets and populations.

Project description:Chemicals may lead to acute liver injuries, posing a serious threat to human health. Achieving the precise safety profile of a compound is challenging due to the complex and expensive testing procedures. In silico approaches will aid in identifying the potential risk of drug candidates in the initial stage of drug development and thus mitigating the developmental cost. In current studies, QSAR models were developed for hepatotoxicity predictions using the ensemble strategy to integrate machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms using various molecular features. A large dataset of 2588 chemicals and drugs was randomly divided into training (80%) and test (20%) sets, followed by the training of individual base models using diverse machine learning or deep learning based on three different kinds of descriptors and fingerprints. Feature selection approaches were employed to proceed with model optimizations based on the model performance. Hybrid ensemble approaches were further utilized to determine the method with the best performance. The voting ensemble classifier emerged as the optimal model, achieving an excellent prediction accuracy of 80.26%, AUC of 82.84%, and recall of over 93% followed by bagging and stacking ensemble classifiers method. The model was further verified by an external test set, internal 10-fold cross-validation, and rigorous benchmark training, exhibiting much better reliability than the published models. The proposed ensemble model offers a dependable assessment with a good performance for the prediction regarding the risk of chemicals and drugs to induce liver damage.

Project description:Navigating the complex landscape of high-dimensional omics data with machine learning models presents a significant challenge. The integration of biological domain knowledge into these models has shown promise in creating more meaningful stratifications of predictor variables, leading to algorithms that are both more accurate and generalizable. However, the wider availability of machine learning tools capable of incorporating such biological knowledge remains limited. Addressing this gap, we introduce BioM2, a novel R package designed for biologically informed multistage machine learning. BioM2 uniquely leverages biological information to effectively stratify and aggregate high-dimensional biological data in the context of machine learning. Demonstrating its utility with genome-wide DNA methylation and transcriptome-wide gene expression data, BioM2 has shown to enhance predictive performance, surpassing traditional machine learning models that operate without the integration of biological knowledge. A key feature of BioM2 is its ability to rank predictor variables within biological categories, specifically Gene Ontology pathways. This functionality not only aids in the interpretability of the results but also enables a subsequent modular network analysis of these variables, shedding light on the intricate systems-level biology underpinning the predictive outcome. We have proposed a biologically informed multistage machine learning framework termed BioM2 for phenotype prediction based on omics data. BioM2 has been incorporated into the BioM2 CRAN package (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/BioM2/index.html).

Project description:MotivationSingle-cell clustering plays a crucial role in distinguishing between cell types, facilitating the analysis of cell heterogeneity mechanisms. While many existing clustering methods rely solely on gene expression data obtained from single-cell RNA sequencing techniques to identify cell clusters, the information contained in mono-omic data is often limited, leading to suboptimal clustering performance. The emergence of single-cell multi-omics sequencing technologies enables the integration of multiple omics data for identifying cell clusters, but how to integrate different omics data effectively remains challenging. In addition, designing a clustering method that performs well across various types of multi-omics data poses a persistent challenge due to the data's inherent characteristics.ResultsIn this paper, we propose a graph-regularized multi-view ensemble clustering (GRMEC-SC) model for single-cell clustering. Our proposed approach can adaptively integrate multiple omics data and leverage insights from multiple base clustering results. We extensively evaluate our method on five multi-omics datasets through a series of rigorous experiments. The results of these experiments demonstrate that our GRMEC-SC model achieves competitive performance across diverse multi-omics datasets with varying characteristics.Availability and implementationImplementation of GRMEC-SC, along with examples, can be found on the GitHub repository: https://github.com/polarisChen/GRMEC-SC.

Project description:Early diagnosis of lung cancer to increase the survival rate, which is currently at a low range of mid-30%, remains a critical need. Despite this, multi-omics data have rarely been applied to non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) diagnosis. We developed a multi-omics data-affinitive artificial intelligence algorithm based on the graph convolutional network that integrates mRNA expression, DNA methylation, and DNA sequencing data. This NSCLC prediction model achieved a 93.7% macro F1-score, indicating that values for false positives and negatives were substantially low, which is desirable for accurate classification. Gene ontology enrichment and pathway analysis of features revealed that two major subtypes of NSCLC, lung adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma, have both specific and common GO biological processes. Numerous biomarkers (i.e., microRNA, long non-coding RNA, differentially methylated regions) were newly identified, whereas some biomarkers were consistent with previous findings in NSCLC (e.g., SPRR1B). Thus, using multi-omics data integration, we developed a promising cancer prediction algorithm.

Project description:Recent extensions of single-cell studies to multiple data modalities raise new questions regarding experimental design. For example, the challenge of sparsity in single-omics data might be partly resolved by compensating for missing information across modalities. In particular, deep learning approaches, such as deep generative models (DGMs), can potentially uncover complex patterns via a joint embedding. Yet, this also raises the question of sample size requirements for identifying such patterns from single-cell multi-omics data. Here, we empirically examine the quality of DGM-based integrations for varying sample sizes. We first review the existing literature and give a short overview of deep learning methods for multi-omics integration. Next, we consider eight popular tools in more detail and examine their robustness to different cell numbers, covering two of the most common multi-omics types currently favored. Specifically, we use data featuring simultaneous gene expression measurements at the RNA level and protein abundance measurements for cell surface proteins (CITE-seq), as well as data where chromatin accessibility and RNA expression are measured in thousands of cells (10x Multiome). We examine the ability of the methods to learn joint embeddings based on biological and technical metrics. Finally, we provide recommendations for the design of multi-omics experiments and discuss potential future developments.

Project description:Accurate prognostic prediction is crucial for treatment decision-making in lung papillary adenocarcinoma (LPADC). The aim of this study was to predict cancer-specific survival in LPADC using ensemble machine learning and classical Cox regression models. Moreover, models were evaluated to provide recommendations based on quantitative data for personalized treatment of LPADC. Data of patients diagnosed with LPADC (2004-2018) were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. The set of samples was randomly divided into the training and validation sets at a ratio of 7:3. Three ensemble models were selected, namely gradient boosting survival (GBS), random survival forest (RSF), and extra survival trees (EST). In addition, Cox proportional hazards (CoxPH) regression was used to construct the prognostic models. The Harrell's concordance index (C-index), integrated Brier score (IBS), and area under the time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve (time-dependent AUC) were used to evaluate the performance of the predictive models. A user-friendly web access panel was provided to easily evaluate the model for the prediction of survival and treatment recommendations. A total of 3615 patients were randomly divided into the training and validation cohorts (n = 2530 and 1085, respectively). The extra survival trees, RSF, GBS, and CoxPH models showed good discriminative ability and calibration in both the training and validation cohorts (mean of time-dependent AUC: > 0.84 and > 0.82; C-index: > 0.79 and > 0.77; IBS: < 0.16 and < 0.17, respectively). The RSF and GBS models were more consistent than the CoxPH model in predicting long-term survival. We implemented the developed models as web applications for deployment into clinical practice (accessible through https://shinyshine-820-lpaprediction-model-z3ubbu.streamlit.app/ ). All four prognostic models showed good discriminative ability and calibration. The RSF and GBS models exhibited the highest effectiveness among all models in predicting the long-term cancer-specific survival of patients with LPADC. This approach may facilitate the development of personalized treatment plans and prediction of prognosis for LPADC.

Project description:High-dimensional omics data contain intrinsic biomedical information that is crucial for personalised medicine. Nevertheless, it is challenging to capture them from the genome-wide data, due to the large number of molecular features and small number of available samples, which is also called "the curse of dimensionality" in machine learning. To tackle this problem and pave the way for machine learning-aided precision medicine, we proposed a unified multi-task deep learning framework named OmiEmbed to capture biomedical information from high-dimensional omics data with the deep embedding and downstream task modules. The deep embedding module learnt an omics embedding that mapped multiple omics data types into a latent space with lower dimensionality. Based on the new representation of multi-omics data, different downstream task modules were trained simultaneously and efficiently with the multi-task strategy to predict the comprehensive phenotype profile of each sample. OmiEmbed supports multiple tasks for omics data including dimensionality reduction, tumour type classification, multi-omics integration, demographic and clinical feature reconstruction, and survival prediction. The framework outperformed other methods on all three types of downstream tasks and achieved better performance with the multi-task strategy compared to training them individually. OmiEmbed is a powerful and unified framework that can be widely adapted to various applications of high-dimensional omics data and has great potential to facilitate more accurate and personalised clinical decision making.

Project description:This study proposed a deep learning (DL) algorithm to predict survival in patients with colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) based on multi-omics integration. The survival-sensitive model was constructed using an autoencoder for DL implementation based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data of patients with COAD. The autoencoder framework was compared to PCA, NMF, t-SNE, and univariable Cox-PH model for identifying survival-related features. The prognostic robustness of the inferred survival risk groups was validated using three independent confirmation cohorts. Differential expression analysis, Pearson's correlation analysis, construction of miRNA-target gene network, and function enrichment analysis were performed. Two risk groups with significant survival differences were identified in TCGA set using the autoencoder-based model (log-rank p-value = 5.51e-07). The autoencoder framework showed superior performance compared to PCA, NMF, t-SNE, and the univariable Cox-PH model based on the C-index, log-rank p-value, and Brier score. The robustness of the classification model was successfully verified in three independent validation sets. There were 1271 differentially expressed genes, 10 differentially expressed miRNAs, and 12 hypermethylated genes between the survival risk groups. Among these, miR-133b and its target genes (GNB4, PTPRZ1, RUNX1T1, EPHA7, GPM6A, BICC1, and ADAMTS5) were used to construct a network. These genes were significantly enriched in ECM-receptor interaction, focal adhesion, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, and glucose metabolism-related pathways. The risk subgroups obtained through a multi-omics data integration pipeline using the DL algorithm had good robustness. miR-133b and its target genes could be potential diagnostic markers. The results would assist in elucidating the possible pathogenesis of COAD.
