Project description:Urine metabolomics profiling has potential for non-invasive RCC staging, in addition to providing metabolic insights into disease progression. In this study, we utilized liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and machine learning (ML) for the discovery of urine metabolites associated with RCC progression. Two machine learning questions were posed in the study: Binary classification into early RCC (stage I and II) and advanced RCC stages (stage III and IV), and RCC tumor size estimation through regression analysis. A total of 82 RCC patients with known tumor size and metabolomic measurements were used for the regression task, and 70 RCC patients with complete tumor-nodes-metastasis (TNM) staging information were used for the classification tasks under ten-fold cross-validation conditions. A voting ensemble regression model consisting of elastic net, ridge, and support vector regressor predicted RCC tumor size with a R2 value of 0.58. A voting classifier model consisting of random forest, support vector machines, logistic regression, and adaptive boosting yielded an AUC of 0.96 and an accuracy of 87%. Some identified metabolites associated with renal cell carcinoma progression included 4-guanidinobutanoic acid, 7-aminomethyl-7-carbaguanine, 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid, lysyl-glycine, glycine, citrate, and pyruvate. Overall, we identified a urine metabolic phenotype associated with renal cell carcinoma stage, exploring the promise of a urine-based metabolomic assay for staging this disease.

Project description:Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is diagnosed through expensive cross-sectional imaging, frequently followed by renal mass biopsy, which is not only invasive but also prone to sampling errors. Hence, there is a critical need for a noninvasive diagnostic assay. RCC exhibits altered cellular metabolism combined with the close proximity of the tumor(s) to the urine in the kidney, suggesting that urine metabolomic profiling is an excellent choice for assay development. Here, we acquired liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data followed by the use of machine learning (ML) to discover candidate metabolomic panels for RCC. The study cohort consisted of 105 RCC patients and 179 controls separated into two subcohorts: the model cohort and the test cohort. Univariate, wrapper, and embedded methods were used to select discriminatory features using the model cohort. Three ML techniques, each with different induction biases, were used for training and hyperparameter tuning. Assessment of RCC status prediction was evaluated using the test cohort with the selected biomarkers and the optimally tuned ML algorithms. A seven-metabolite panel predicted RCC in the test cohort with 88% accuracy, 94% sensitivity, 85% specificity, and 0.98 AUC. Metabolomics Workbench Study IDs are ST001705 and ST001706.

Project description:BackgroundClear-cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most- prevalent, chemotherapy resistant and lethal adult kidney cancer. There is a need for novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for ccRCC, due to its heterogeneous molecular profiles and asymptomatic early stage. This study aims to develop classification models to distinguish early stage and late stage of ccRCC based on gene expression profiles. We employed supervised learning algorithms- J48, Random Forest, SMO and Naïve Bayes; with enriched model learning by fast correlation based feature selection to develop classification models trained on sequencing based gene expression data of RNAseq experiments, obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas.ResultsDifferent models developed in the study were evaluated on the basis of 10 fold cross validations and independent dataset testing. Random Forest based prediction model performed best amongst the models developed in the study, with a sensitivity of 89%, accuracy of 77% and area under Receivers Operating Curve of 0.8.ConclusionsWe anticipate that the prioritized subset of 62 genes and prediction models developed in this study will aid experimental oncologists to expedite understanding of the molecular mechanisms of stage progression and discovery of prognostic factors for ccRCC tumors.

Project description:IntroductionThe identification of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) at risk of progressing to kidney failure (KF) is important for clinical decision-making. In this study we assesed whether urinary peptidome (UP) analysis may help classify patients with CKD and improve KF risk prediction.MethodsThe UP was analyzed using capillary electrophoresis coupled to mass spectrometry in a case-cohort sample of 1000 patients with CKD stage G3 to G5 from the French CKD-Renal Epidemiology and Information Network (REIN) cohort. We used unsupervised and supervised machine learning to classify patients into homogenous UP clusters and to predict 3-year KF risk with UP, respectively. The predictive performance of UP was compared with the KF risk equation (KFRE), and evaluated in an external cohort of 326 patients.ResultsMore than 1000 peptides classified patients into 3 clusters with different CKD severities and etiologies at baseline. Peptides with the highest discriminative power for clustering were fragments of proteins involved in inflammation and fibrosis, highlighting those derived from α-1-antitrypsin, a major acute phase protein with anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic properties, as the most significant. We then identified a set of 90 urinary peptides that predicted KF with a c-index of 0.83 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.81-0.85) in the case-cohort and 0.89 (0.83-0.94) in the external cohort, which were close to that estimated with the KFRE (0.85 [0.83-0.87]). Combination of UP with KFRE variables did not further improve prediction.ConclusionThis study shows the potential of UP analysis to uncover new pathophysiological CKD progression pathways and to predict KF risk with a performance equal to that of the KFRE.

Project description:We developed a novel prediction model for recurrence and survival in patients with localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after surgery and a novel statistical method of machine learning (ML) to improve accuracy in predicting outcomes using a large Asian nationwide dataset, updated KOrean Renal Cell Carcinoma (KORCC) database that covered data for a total of 10,068 patients who had received surgery for RCC. After data pre-processing, feature selection was performed with an elastic net. Nine variables for recurrence and 13 variables for survival were extracted from 206 variables. Synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) was used for the training data set to solve the imbalance problem. We applied the most of existing ML algorithms introduced so far to evaluate the performance. We also performed subgroup analysis according to the histologic type. Diagnostic performances of all prediction models achieved high accuracy (range, 0.77-0.94) and F1-score (range, 0.77-0.97) in all tested metrics. In an external validation set, high accuracy and F1-score were well maintained in both recurrence and survival. In subgroup analysis of both clear and non-clear cell type RCC group, we also found a good prediction performance.

Project description:Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the sixth most common cancer in men and is often asymptomatic, leading to incidental detection in advanced disease stages that are associated with aggressive histology and poorer outcomes. Various cancer biomarkers are found in urine samples from patients with RCC. In this study, we propose to investigate the use of Attenuated Total Reflection-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) on dried urine samples for distinguishing RCC. We analyzed dried urine samples from 49 patients with RCC, confirmed by histopathology, and 39 healthy donors using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. The vibrational bands of the dried urine were identified by comparing them with spectra from dried artificial urine, individual urine components, and dried artificial urine spiked with urine components. Urea dominated all spectra, but smaller intensity peaks, corresponding to creatinine, phosphate, and uric acid, were also identified. Statistically significant differences between the FTIR spectra of the two groups were obtained only for creatinine, with lower intensities for RCC cases. The discrimination of RCC was performed through Principal Component Analysis combined with Linear Discriminant Analysis (PCA-LDA) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Using PCA-LDA, we achieved a higher discrimination accuracy (82%) (using only six Principal Components to avoid overfitting), as compared to SVM (76%). Our results demonstrate the potential of urine ATR-FTIR combined with machine learning techniques for RCC discrimination. However, further studies, especially of other urological diseases, must validate this approach.

Project description:Parkinson's disease (PD) exhibits heterogeneity in terms of symptoms and prognosis, likely due to diverse neuroanatomical alterations. This study employs a contrastive deep learning approach to analyze Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data from 932 PD patients and 366 controls, aiming to disentangle PD-specific neuroanatomical alterations. The results reveal that these neuroanatomical alterations in PD are correlated with individual differences in dopamine transporter binding deficit, neurodegeneration biomarkers, and clinical severity and progression. The correlation with clinical severity is verified in an external cohort. Notably, certain proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid are strongly associated with PD-specific features, particularly those involved in the immune function. The most notable neuroanatomical alterations are observed in both subcortical and temporal regions. Our findings provide deeper insights into the patterns of brain atrophy in PD and potential underlying molecular mechanisms, paving the way for earlier patient stratification and the development of treatments to slow down neurodegeneration.
