CRBPDL: Identification of circRNA-RBP interaction sites using an ensemble neural network approach.

ABSTRACT: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are non-coding RNAs with a special circular structure produced formed by the reverse splicing mechanism. Increasing evidence shows that circular RNAs can directly bind to RNA-binding proteins (RBP) and play an important role in a variety of biological activities. The interactions between circRNAs and RBPs are key to comprehending the mechanism of posttranscriptional regulation. Accurately identifying binding sites is very useful for analyzing interactions. In past research, some predictors on the basis of machine learning (ML) have been presented, but prediction accuracy still needs to be ameliorated. Therefore, we present a novel calculation model, CRBPDL, which uses an Adaboost integrated deep hierarchical network to identify the binding sites of circular RNA-RBP. CRBPDL combines five different feature encoding schemes to encode the original RNA sequence, uses deep multiscale residual networks (MSRN) and bidirectional gating recurrent units (BiGRUs) to effectively learn high-level feature representations, it is sufficient to extract local and global context information at the same time. Additionally, a self-attention mechanism is employed to train the robustness of the CRBPDL. Ultimately, the Adaboost algorithm is applied to integrate deep learning (DL) model to improve prediction performance and reliability of the model. To verify the usefulness of CRBPDL, we compared the efficiency with state-of-the-art methods on 37 circular RNA data sets and 31 linear RNA data sets. Moreover, results display that CRBPDL is capable of performing universal, reliable, and robust. The code and data sets are obtainable at https://github.com/nmt315320/CRBPDL.git.

Project description:BACKGROUND: It has now become clear that gene-gene interactions and gene-environment interactions are ubiquitous and fundamental mechanisms for the development of complex diseases. Though a considerable effort has been put into developing statistical models and algorithmic strategies for identifying such interactions, the accurate identification of those genetic interactions has been proven to be very challenging. METHODS: In this paper, we propose a new approach for identifying such gene-gene and gene-environment interactions underlying complex diseases. This is a hybrid algorithm and it combines genetic algorithm (GA) and an ensemble of classifiers (called genetic ensemble). Using this approach, the original problem of SNP interaction identification is converted into a data mining problem of combinatorial feature selection. By collecting various single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) subsets as well as environmental factors generated in multiple GA runs, patterns of gene-gene and gene-environment interactions can be extracted using a simple combinatorial ranking method. Also considered in this study is the idea of combining identification results obtained from multiple algorithms. A novel formula based on pairwise double fault is designed to quantify the degree of complementarity. CONCLUSIONS: Our simulation study demonstrates that the proposed genetic ensemble algorithm has comparable identification power to Multifactor Dimensionality Reduction (MDR) and is slightly better than Polymorphism Interaction Analysis (PIA), which are the two most popular methods for gene-gene interaction identification. More importantly, the identification results generated by using our genetic ensemble algorithm are highly complementary to those obtained by PIA and MDR. Experimental results from our simulation studies and real world data application also confirm the effectiveness of the proposed genetic ensemble algorithm, as well as the potential benefits of combining identification results from different algorithms.

Project description:Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that seriously affects the quality of people. Unfortunately, the pathogenesis of OA has not been fully known. Therefore, this study aimed to construct a ceRNA regulatory network related to OA to explore the pathogenesis of OA. Methods: Differentially expressed circRNAs (DEcircRNAs), microRNAs (DEmiRNAs), and mRNAs (DEmRNAs) were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus microarray data (GSE175959, GSE105027, and GSE169077). The miRNA response elements and target mRNAs were identified using bioinformatics approaches. Additionally, a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network was established using Cytoscape version 3.8.0. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses of mRNAs in the network were conducted to explore the possible mechanisms underlying OA development. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis was performed to determine the hub genes. Based on the hub genes, a sub network was constructed using Cytoscape 3.8.0 version. Finally, connectivity map (CMap) and drug-gene interaction database (DGIdb) analyses were performed to identify the potential therapeutic targets for OA. Results: Altogether, five DEcircRNAs, 89 DEmiRNAs, and 345 DEmRNAs were identified. Moreover, a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA network was established using three circRNAs, seven miRNAs, and 37 mRNAs. GO and KEGG analyses demonstrated that the mRNAs in the network could be related to the occurrence and development of OA. PPI analysis was performed and six key genes, namely serpin family H member 1 [SERPINH1], collagen type VIII alpha 2 chain [COL8A2], collagen type XV alpha 1 chain [COL15A1], collagen type VI alpha 3 chain [COL6A3], collagen type V alpha 1 chain [COL5A1], and collagen type XI alpha 1 chain [COL11A1], were identified. Furthermore, a circRNA-miRNA-hub gene subnetwork was established in accordance with two circRNAs (hsa_circ_0075320 and hsa_circ_0051428), two miRNAs (hsa-miR-6124 and hsa-miR-1207-5p), and six hub genes (COL11A1, SERPINH1, COL6A3, COL5A1, COL8A2, and COL15A1). Finally, three chemicals (noscapine, diazepam, and TG100-115) based on CMap analysis and two drugs (collagenase Clostridium histolyticum and ocriplasmin) based on DGIdb were discovered as potential treatment options for OA. Conclusion: This study presents novel perspectives on the pathogenesis and treatment of OA based on circRNA-related competitive endogenous RNA regulatory networks.
