Project description:Omics data integration is becoming necessary to investigate the still unknown genomic mechanisms of complex diseases. During the integration process, many challenges arise such as data heterogeneity, the smaller number of individuals in comparison to the number of parameters, multicollinearity, and interpretation and validation of results due to their complexity and lack of knowledge about biological mechanisms. To overcome some of these issues, innovative statistical approaches are being developed. In this work, we applied penalized regression methods (LASSO and ENET) to explore relationships between common genetic variants, DNA methylation and gene expression measured in bladder tumor samples and have proposed a permutation-based method to concomitantly assess significance and correct by multiple testing with the MaxT algorithm. The overall analysis flow consisted of three steps: (1) SNPs/CpGs were selected per each gene probe within 1Mb window upstream and downstream the gene; (2) LASSO and ENET were applied to assess the association between each expression probe and the selected SNPs/CpGs in three multivariable models (SNP, CPG, and Global models, the latter integrating SNPs and CPGs); and (3) the significance of each model was assessed using the permutation-based MaxT method. We identified 48 genes whom expression levels were associated with both SNPs and GPGs. Importantly, we replicated results for 36 (75%) of them in an independent data set (TCGA). We checked the performance of the proposed method with a simulation study and further supported our results with a biological interpretation based on an enrichment analysis. The approach we propose allows reducing computational time and is flexibly and easy to implement when analyzing several omics data. Our results highlight the importance of integrating omics data by applying appropriate statistical strategies to discover new insights into the complexity of disease genetic mechanisms. Gene expression data were obtained from 44 tumor samples using the Affymetrix DNA Microarray Human Gene 1.0 ST Array with 32,321 probes.

Bisulphite modification of 46 tumor DNA samples using EZ-96 DNA METHYLATIONGOLD KIT (Zymo Research, Irvin, CA, USA), CpG methylation data was generated using the Infinum Human Methylation 27 BeadChip Kit that detected the CpG sites with two probes, one designed against the unmethylated site (signal U) and the other against the methylated site (signal M).

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer is an aggressive type of breast cancer with very little treatment options. TNBC is very heterogeneous with large alterations in the genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic landscapes leading to various subtypes with differing responses to therapeutic treatments. We applied a multi-omics data integration method to evaluate the correlation of important regulatory features in TNBC BRCA1 wild-type MDA-MB-231 and TNBC BRCA1 5382insC mutated HCC1937 cells compared with normal epithelial breast MCF10A cells. The data includes DNA methylation, RNAseq, protein, phosphoproteomics, and histone post-translational modification. Data integration methods identified regulatory features from each omics method had greater than 80% positive correlation within each TNBC subtype. Key regulatory features at each omics level were identified distinguishing the three cell lines and were involved in important cancer related pathways such as TGFbeta signaling, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, and Wnt/beta-catenin signaling.

Project description:Solving environmental and social challenges such as climate change requires a shift from our current non-renewable manufacturing model to a sustainable bioeconomy. To lower carbon emissions in the production of fuels and chemicals, plant biomass feedstocks can replace petroleum using microorganisms as biocatalysts. The anaerobic thermophile Clostridium thermocellum is a promising bacterium for bioconversion due to its capability to efficiently degrade lignocellulosic biomass. However, the complex metabolism of C. thermocellum is not fully understood, hindering metabolic engineering to achieve high titers, rates, and yields of targeted molecules. In this study, we developed an updated genome-scale metabolic model of C. thermocellum that accounts for recent metabolic findings, has improved prediction accuracy, and is standard-conformant to ensure easy reproducibility. We illustrated two applications of the developed model. We first formulated a multi-omics integration protocol and used it to understand redox metabolism and potential bottlenecks in biofuel (e.g., ethanol) production in C. thermocellum. Second, we used the metabolic model to design modular cells for efficient production of alcohols and esters with broad applications as flavors, fragrances, solvents, and fuels. The proposed designs not only feature intuitive push-and-pull metabolic engineering strategies, but also present novel manipulations around important central metabolic branch-points. We anticipate the developed genome-scale metabolic model will provide a useful tool for system analysis of C. thermocellum metabolism to fundamentally understand its physiology and guide metabolic engineering strategies to rapidly generate modular production strains for effective biosynthesis of biofuels and biochemicals from lignocellulosic biomass.
