Identification of a Gene Set Correlated With Immune Status in Ovarian Cancer by Transcriptome-Wide Data Mining.

ABSTRACT: Immune checkpoint blocking (ICB) immunotherapy has achieved great success in the treatment of various malignancies. Although not have been approved for the treatment of ovarian cancer (OC), it has been actively tested for the treatment of OC. However, biomarkers that could indicate the immune status of OC and predict the response to ICB are rare. We downloaded RNAseq and clinical data of OC from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Data analysis revealed both TMB^high and immunity^high were significantly related to better survival of OC. Up-regulated differentially expressed genes (Up-DEGs) were identified by analyzing the gene expression levels. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were performed in the "GSVA" and "limma" package in R software. The correlation of genes with overall survival was also analyzed by conducted Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Four genes, CXCL13, FCRLA, MS4A1, and PLA2G2D were found positively correlated with better prognosis of OC and mainly involved in immune response-related pathways. Finally, TIMER and TIDE were used to predict gene immune function and its association with immunotherapy. We found that these four genes were positively correlated with better response to immune checkpoint blockade-based immunotherapy. Altogether, CXCL13, FCRLA, MS4A1, and PLA2G2D may be used as potential therapeutic genes for reflecting OC immune status and predicting response to immunotherapy.

Data mining for the identification of metabolic syndrome status.

Project description:Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a condition associated with metabolic abnormalities that are characterized by central obesity (e.g. waist circumference or body mass index), hypertension (e.g. systolic or diastolic blood pressure), hyperglycemia (e.g. fasting plasma glucose) and dyslipidemia (e.g. triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol). It is also associated with the development of diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2 and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Therefore, the rapid identification of MS is required to prevent the occurrence of such diseases. Herein, we review the utilization of data mining approaches for MS identification. Furthermore, the concept of quantitative population-health relationship (QPHR) is also presented, which can be defined as the elucidation/understanding of the relationship that exists between health parameters and health status. The QPHR modeling uses data mining techniques such as artificial neural network (ANN), support vector machine (SVM), principal component analysis (PCA), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF) and association analysis (AA) for modeling and construction of predictive models for MS characterization. The DT method has been found to outperform other data mining techniques in the identification of MS status. Moreover, the AA technique has proved useful in the discovery of in-depth as well as frequently occurring health parameters that can be used for revealing the rules of MS development. This review presents the potential benefits on the applications of data mining as a rapid identification tool for classifying MS.

Identification of Prostaglandin Pathway in Dinoflagellates by Transcriptome Data Mining.

Project description:Dinoflagellates, a major class of marine eukaryote microalgae composing the phytoplankton, are widely recognised as producers of a large variety of toxic molecules, particularly neurotoxins, which can also act as potent bioactive pharmacological mediators. In addition, similarly to other microalgae, they are also good producers of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), important precursors of key molecules involved in cell physiology. Among PUFA derivatives are the prostaglandins (Pgs), important physiological mediators in several physiological and pathological processes in humans, also used as "biological" drugs. Their synthesis is very expensive because of the elevated number of reaction steps required, thus the search for new Pgs production methods is of great relevance. One possibility is their extraction from microorganisms (e.g., diatoms), which have been proved to produce the same Pgs as humans. In the present study, we took advantage of the available transcriptomes for dinoflagellates in the iMicrobe database to search for the Pgs biosynthetic pathway using a bioinformatic approach. Here we show that dinoflagellates express nine Pg-metabolism related enzymes involved in both Pgs synthesis and reduction. Not all of the enzymes were expressed simultaneously in all the species analysed and their expression was influenced by culturing conditions, especially salinity of the growth medium. These results confirm the existence of a biosynthetic pathway for these important molecules in unicellular microalgae other than diatoms, suggesting a broad diffusion and conservation of the Pgs pathway, which further strengthen their importance in living organisms.

Integrative transcriptome data mining for identification of core lncRNAs in breast cancer.

Project description:Background:Cumulative evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in tumorigenesis. This study aims to identify lncRNAs that can serve as new biomarkers for breast cancer diagnosis or screening. Methods:First, the linear fitting method was used to identify differentially expressed genes from the breast cancer RNA expression profiles in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Next, the diagnostic value of all differentially expressed lncRNAs was evaluated using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Then, the top ten lncRNAs with the highest diagnostic value were selected as core genes for clinical characteristics and prognosis analysis. Furthermore, core lncRNA-mRNA co-expression networks based on weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) were constructed, and functional enrichment analysis was performed using the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID). The differential expression level and diagnostic value of core lncRNAs were further evaluated by using independent data set from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Finally, the expression status and prognostic value of core lncRNAs in various tumors were analyzed based on Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA). Results:Seven core lncRNAs (LINC00478, PGM5-AS1, AL035610.1, MIR143HG, RP11-175K6.1, AC005550.4, and MIR497HG) have good single-factor diagnostic value for breast cancer. AC093850.2 has a prognostic value for breast cancer. AC005550.4 and MIR497HG can better distinguish breast cancer patients in early-stage from the advanced-stage. Low expression of MAGI2-AS3, LINC00478, AL035610.1, MIR143HG, and MIR145 may be associated with lymph node metastasis in breast cancer. Conclusion:Our study provides candidate biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of breast cancer, as well as a bioinformatics basis for the further elucidation of the molecular pathological mechanism of breast cancer.

A global-scale data set of mining areas.

Project description:The area used for mineral extraction is a key indicator for understanding and mitigating the environmental impacts caused by the extractive sector. To date, worldwide data products on mineral extraction do not report the area used by mining activities. In this paper, we contribute to filling this gap by presenting a new data set of mining extents derived by visual interpretation of satellite images. We delineated mining areas within a 10 km buffer from the approximate geographical coordinates of more than six thousand active mining sites across the globe. The result is a global-scale data set consisting of 21,060 polygons that add up to 57,277 km2. The polygons cover all mining above-ground features that could be identified from the satellite images, including open cuts, tailings dams, waste rock dumps, water ponds, and processing infrastructure. The data set is available for download from https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.910894 and visualization at www.fineprint.global/viewer .

Identification of the immune subtype of ovarian cancer patients by integrated analyses of transcriptome and single-cell sequencing data.

Project description:Ovarian cancer (OC) is one the most life-threatening cancers affecting women's health worldwide. Immunotherapy has become a promising treatment for a variety of cancers, but the therapeutic effects in OC remain limited. In this study, we constructed a macrophage risk score (MRS) based on M1 and M2 macrophages and a gene risk score (GRS) based on the prognostic genes associated with MRS. Next, cell-cell communication analysis was performed using single-cell RNA (scRNA) sequencing data. Survival status and immune characteristics were compared between the high- and low-score groups separated by MRS or GRS. Our results suggested that MRS and GRS can identify the immune subtypes of OC patients with better overall survival (OS) and inflammatory immune microenvironment. Moreover, M1 and M2 macrophages may affect the prognosis of OC patients through signal communication with CD8 T cells. Finally, functional differences between the two groups separated by GRS were elucidated. Taken together, this study constructed two useful models for the identification of immune subtypes in OC, which has a better prognosis and may have a sensitive response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). The hub genes for the construction of GRS may be potential synergetic targets for immunotherapy in OC patients.

Project description:Meta-analysis is becoming an increasingly popular and powerful tool to integrate findings across studies and OMIC dimensions. But there is the danger that hidden dependencies between putatively "independent" studies can cause inflation of type I error, due to reinforcement of the evidence from false-positive findings. We present here a simple method for conducting meta-analyses that automatically estimates the degree of any such non-independence between OMIC scans and corrects the inference for it, retaining the proper type I error structure. The method does not require the original data from the source studies, but operates only on summary analysis results from these in OMIC scans. The method is applicable in a wide variety of situations including combining GWAS and or sequencing scan results across studies with dependencies due to overlapping subjects, as well as to scans of correlated traits, in a meta-analysis scan for pleiotropic genetic effects. The method correctly detects which scans are actually independent in which case it yields the traditional meta-analysis, so it may safely be used in all cases, when there is even a suspicion of correlation amongst scans.

Gene expression data analysis using closed item set mining for labeled data.

Project description:This article presents an approach to microarray data analysis using discretised expression values in combination with a methodology of closed item set mining for class labeled data (RelSets). A statistical 2 x 2 factorial design analysis was run in parallel. The approach was validated on two independent sets of two-color microarray experiments using potato plants. Our results demonstrate that the two different analytical procedures, applied on the same data, are adequate for solving two different biological questions being asked. Statistical analysis is appropriate if an overview of the consequences of treatments and their interaction terms on the studied system is needed. If, on the other hand, a list of genes whose expression (upregulation or downregulation) differentiates between classes of data is required, the use of the RelSets algorithm is preferred. The used algorithms are freely available upon request to the authors.

Data mining to understand health status preceding traumatic brain injury.

Project description:The use of precision medicine is poised to increase in complex injuries such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), whose multifaceted comorbidities and personal circumstances create significant challenges in the domains of surveillance, management, and environmental mapping. Population-wide health administrative data remains a rather unexplored, but accessible data source for identifying clinical associations and environmental patterns that could lead to a better understanding of TBIs. However, the amount of data structured and coded by the International Classification of Disease poses a challenge to its successful interpretation. The emerging field of data mining can be instrumental in helping to meet the daunting challenges faced by the TBI community. The report outlines novel areas for data mining relevant to TBI, and offers insight into how the above approach can be applied to solve pressing healthcare problems. Future work should focus on confirmatory analyses, which subsequently can guide precision medicine and preventive frameworks.

Identification of Somatic Mutation-Driven Immune Cells by Integrating Genomic and Transcriptome Data.

Project description:Tumor somatic mutations in protein-coding regions may generate neoantigens which may trigger antitumor immune cell response. Increasing evidence supports that immune cell response may profoundly influence tumor progression. However, there are no calculated tools to systematically identify immune cells driven by specific somatic mutations. It is urgent to develop a calculated method to comprehensively detect tumor-infiltrating immune cells driven by the specific somatic mutations in cancer. We developed a novel software package (SMDIC) that enables the automated identification of somatic mutation-driven immune cell. SMDIC provides a novel pipeline to discover mutation-specific immune cells by integrating genomic and transcriptome data. The operation modes include inference of the relative abundance matrix of tumor-infiltrating immune cells, detection of differential abundance immune cells with respect to the gene mutation status, conversion of the abundance matrix of significantly dysregulated cells into two binary matrices (one for upregulated and one for downregulated cells), identification of somatic mutation-driven immune cells by comparing the gene mutation status with each immune cell in the binary matrices across all samples, and visualization of immune cell abundance of samples in different mutation status for each gene. SMDIC provides a user-friendly tool to identify somatic mutation-specific immune cell response. SMDIC may contribute to understand the mechanisms underlying anticancer immune response and find targets for cancer immunotherapy. The SMDIC was implemented as an R-based tool which was freely available from the CRAN website https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=SMDIC.
