Project description:BackgroundPredicting meaningful miRNA-disease associations (MDAs) is costly. Therefore, an increasing number of researchers are beginning to focus on methods to predict potential MDAs. Thus, prediction methods with improved accuracy are under development. An efficient computational method is proposed to be crucial for predicting novel MDAs. For improved experimental productivity, large biological datasets are used by researchers. Although there are many effective and feasible methods to predict potential MDAs, the possibility remains that these methods are flawed.ResultsA simple and effective method, known as Nearest Profile-based Collaborative Matrix Factorization (NPCMF), is proposed to identify novel MDAs. The nearest profile is introduced to our method to achieve the highest AUC value compared with other advanced methods. For some miRNAs and diseases without any association, we use the nearest neighbour information to complete the prediction.ConclusionsTo evaluate the performance of our method, five-fold cross-validation is used to calculate the AUC value. At the same time, three disease cases, gastric neoplasms, rectal neoplasms and colonic neoplasms, are used to predict novel MDAs on a gold-standard dataset. We predict the vast majority of known MDAs and some novel MDAs. Finally, the prediction accuracy of our method is determined to be better than that of other existing methods. Thus, the proposed prediction model can obtain reliable experimental results.

Project description:Recently, an increasing number of studies have indicated that long-non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can participate in various crucial biological processes and can also be used as the most promising biomarkers for the treatment of certain diseases such as coronary artery disease and various cancers. Due to costs and time complexity, the number of possible disease-related lncRNAs that can be verified by traditional biological experiments is very limited. Therefore, in recent years, it has been very popular to use computational models to predict potential disease-lncRNA associations. In this study, we constructed three kinds of association networks, namely the lncRNA-miRNA association network, the miRNA-disease association network, and the lncRNA-disease correlation network firstly. Then, through integrating these three newly constructed association networks, we constructed an lncRNA-disease weighted association network, which would be further updated by adopting the KNN algorithm based on the semantic similarity of diseases and the similarity of lncRNA functions. Thereafter, according to the updated lncRNA-disease weighted association network, a novel computational model called PMFILDA was proposed to infer potential lncRNA-disease associations based on the probability matrix decomposition. Finally, to evaluate the superiority of the new prediction model PMFILDA, we performed Leave One Out Cross-Validation (LOOCV) based on strongly validated data filtered from MNDR and the simulation results indicated that the performance of PMFILDA was better than some state-of-the-art methods. Moreover, case studies of breast cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer were implemented to further estimate the performance of PMFILDA, and simulation results illustrated that PMFILDA could achieve satisfying prediction performance as well.

Project description:miRNAs belong to small non-coding RNAs that are related to a number of complicated biological processes. Considerable studies have suggested that miRNAs are closely associated with many human diseases. In this study, we proposed a computational model based on Similarity Constrained Matrix Factorization for miRNA-Disease Association Prediction (SCMFMDA). In order to effectively combine different disease and miRNA similarity data, we applied similarity network fusion algorithm to obtain integrated disease similarity (composed of disease functional similarity, disease semantic similarity and disease Gaussian interaction profile kernel similarity) and integrated miRNA similarity (composed of miRNA functional similarity, miRNA sequence similarity and miRNA Gaussian interaction profile kernel similarity). In addition, the L2 regularization terms and similarity constraint terms were added to traditional Nonnegative Matrix Factorization algorithm to predict disease-related miRNAs. SCMFMDA achieved AUCs of 0.9675 and 0.9447 based on global Leave-one-out cross validation and five-fold cross validation, respectively. Furthermore, the case studies on two common human diseases were also implemented to demonstrate the prediction accuracy of SCMFMDA. The out of top 50 predicted miRNAs confirmed by experimental reports that indicated SCMFMDA was effective for prediction of relationship between miRNAs and diseases.

Project description:BackgroundPredicting miRNA-disease associations (MDAs) is time-consuming and expensive. It is imminent to improve the accuracy of prediction results. So it is crucial to develop a novel computing technology to predict new MDAs. Although some existing methods can effectively predict novel MDAs, there are still some shortcomings. Especially when the disease matrix is processed, its sparsity is an important factor affecting the final results.ResultsA robust collaborative matrix factorization (RCMF) is proposed to predict novel MDAs. The L2,1-norm are introduced to our method to achieve the highest AUC value than other advanced methods.Conclusions5-fold cross validation is used to evaluate our method, and simulation experiments are used to predict novel associations on Gold Standard Dataset. Finally, our prediction accuracy is better than other existing advanced methods. Therefore, our approach is effective and feasible in predicting novel MDAs.

Project description:A microbe is a microscopic organism which may exists in its single-celled form or in a colony of cells. In recent years, accumulating researchers have been engaged in the field of uncovering microbe-disease associations since microbes are found to be closely related to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of many complex human diseases. As an effective supplement to the traditional experiment, more and more computational models based on various algorithms have been proposed for microbe-disease association prediction to improve efficiency and cost savings. In this work, we developed a novel predictive model of Graph Regularized Non-negative Matrix Factorization for Human Microbe-Disease Association prediction (GRNMFHMDA). Initially, microbe similarity and disease similarity were constructed on the basis of the symptom-based disease similarity and Gaussian interaction profile kernel similarity for microbes and diseases. Subsequently, it is worth noting that we utilized a preprocessing step in which unknown microbe-disease pairs were assigned associated likelihood scores to avoid the possible negative impact on the prediction performance. Finally, we implemented a graph regularized non-negative matrix factorization framework to identify potential associations for all diseases simultaneously. To assess the performance of our model, cross validations including global leave-one-out cross validation (LOOCV) and local LOOCV were implemented. The AUCs of 0.8715 (global LOOCV) and 0.7898 (local LOOCV) proved the reliable performance of our computational model. In addition, we carried out two types of case studies on three different human diseases to further analyze the prediction performance of GRNMFHMDA, in which most of the top 10 predicted disease-related microbes were verified by database HMDAD or experimental literatures.

Project description:MotivationIt is more and more common to perform multi-omics analyses to explore the genome at diverse levels and not only at a single level. Through integrative statistical methods, multi-omics data have the power to reveal new biological processes, potential biomarkers and subgroups in a cohort. Matrix factorization (MF) is an unsupervised statistical method that allows a clustering of individuals, but also reveals relevant omics variables from the various blocks.ResultsHere, we present PIntMF (Penalized Integrative Matrix Factorization), an MF model with sparsity, positivity and equality constraints. To induce sparsity in the model, we used a classical Lasso penalization on variable and individual matrices. For the matrix of samples, sparsity helps in the clustering, while normalization (matching an equality constraint) of inferred coefficients is added to improve interpretation. Moreover, we added an automatic tuning of the sparsity parameters using the famous glmnet package. We also proposed three criteria to help the user to choose the number of latent variables. PIntMF was compared with other state-of-the-art integrative methods including feature selection techniques in both synthetic and real data. PIntMF succeeds in finding relevant clusters as well as variables in two types of simulated data (correlated and uncorrelated). Next, PIntMF was applied to two real datasets (Diet and cancer), and it revealed interpretable clusters linked to available clinical data. Our method outperforms the existing ones on two criteria (clustering and variable selection). We show that PIntMF is an easy, fast and powerful tool to extract patterns and cluster samples from multi-omics data.Availability and implementationAn R package is available at https://github.com/mpierrejean/pintmf.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Project description:MotivationIdentification of disease-associated miRNAs (disease miRNAs) is critical for understanding disease etiology and pathogenesis. Since miRNAs exert their functions by regulating the expression of their target mRNAs, several methods based on the target genes were proposed to predict disease miRNA candidates. They achieved only limited success as they all suffered from the high false-positive rate of target prediction results. Alternatively, other prediction methods were based on the observation that miRNAs with similar functions tend to be associated with similar diseases and vice versa. The methods exploited the information about miRNAs and diseases, including the functional similarities between miRNAs, the similarities between diseases, and the associations between miRNAs and diseases. However, how to integrate the multiple kinds of information completely and consider the biological characteristic of disease miRNAs is a challenging problem.ResultsWe constructed a bilayer network to represent the complex relationships among miRNAs, among diseases and between miRNAs and diseases. We proposed a non-negative matrix factorization based method to rank, so as to predict, the disease miRNA candidates. The method integrated the miRNA functional similarity, the disease similarity and the miRNA-disease associations seamlessly, which exploited the complex relationships within the bilayer network and the consensus relationship between multiple kinds of information. Considering the correlation between the candidates related to various diseases, it predicted their respective candidates for all the diseases simultaneously. In addition, the sparseness characteristic of disease miRNAs was introduced to generate more reliable prediction model that excludes those noisy candidates. The results on 15 common diseases showed a superior performance of the new method for not only well-characterized diseases but also new ones. A detailed case study on breast neoplasms, colorectal neoplasms, lung neoplasms and 32 other diseases demonstrated the ability of the method for discovering potential disease miRNAs.Availability and implementationThe web service for the new method and the list of predicted candidates for all the diseases are available at http://www.bioinfolab.top.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Project description:In recent years, miRNAs have been verified to play an irreplaceable role in biological processes associated with human disease. Discovering potential disease-related miRNAs helps explain the underlying pathogenesis of the disease at the molecular level. Given the high cost and labor intensity of biological experiments, computational predictions will be an indispensable alternative. Therefore, we design a new model called probability matrix factorization (PMFMDA). Specifically, we first integrate miRNA and disease similarity. Next, the known association matrix and integrated similarity matrix are utilized to construct a probability matrix factorization algorithm to identify potentially relevant miRNAs for disease. We find that PMFMDA achieves reliable performance in the frameworks of global leave-one-out cross validation (LOOCV) and 5-fold cross validation (AUCs are 0.9237 and 0.9187, respectively) in the HMDD (V2.0) dataset, significantly outperforming a few state-of-the-art methods including CMFMDA, IMCMDA, NCPMDA, RLSMDA, and RWRMDA. In addition, case studies show that PMFMDA has good predictive performance for new associations, and the evidence can be identified by literature mining.

Project description:Microbes with abnormal levels have important impacts on the formation and development of various complex diseases. Identifying possible Microbe-Disease Associations (MDAs) helps to understand the mechanisms of complex diseases. However, experimental methods for MDA identification are costly and time-consuming. In this study, a new computational model, RNMFMDA, was developed to find possible MDAs. RNMFMDA contains two main processes. First, Reliable Negative MDA samples were selected based on Positive-Unlabeled (PU) learning and random walk with restart on the heterogeneous microbe-disease network. Second, Logistic Matrix Factorization with Neighborhood Regularization (LMFNR) was developed to compute the association probabilities for all microbe-disease pairs. To evaluate the performance of the proposed RNMFMDA method, we compared RNMFMDA with five state-of-the-art MDA prediction methods based on five-fold cross-validations on microbes, diseases, and MDAs. As a result, RNMFMDA obtained the best AUCs of 0.6332, 0.8669, and 0.9081, respectively for the three five-fold cross validations, significantly outperforming other models. The promising prediction performance may be attributed to the following three features: highly quality negative MDA sample selection, LMFNR-based MDA prediction model, and various biological information integration. In addition, a few predicted microbe-disease pairs with high association scores are worthy of further experimental validation.

Project description:This paper presents a procedure for the patient-specific prediction of epileptic seizures. To this end, a combination of nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) and smooth basis functions with robust regression is applied to power spectra of intracranial electroencephalographic (iEEG) signals. The resulting time and frequency components capture the dominant information from power spectra, while removing outliers and noise. This makes it possible to detect structure in preictal states, which is used for classification. Linear support vector machines (SVM) with L1 regularization are used to select and weigh the contributions from different number of not equally informative channels among patients. Due to class imbalance in data, synthetic minority over-sampling technique (SMOTE) is applied. The resulting method yields a computationally and conceptually simple, interpretable model of EEG signals of preictal and interictal states, which shows a good performance for the task of seizure prediction on two datasets (the EPILEPSIAE and on the public Epilepsyecosystem dataset).
