Project description:immunotherapy offers a better prognosis for pancreatic cancer patients. As a direct extension of this work, various new therapy methods that are under exploration and clinical trials could be assessed or evaluated using the newly developed mathematical prognosis model.
Project description:In this study, we investigated miRNA expression profiles in ileal mucosa from CD patients in different settings (post-operative recurrent (POR) CD, newly diagnosed CD and late stage CD)) and controls.
Project description:The paper "Metabolomic Machine Learning Predictor for Diagnosis and Prognosis of Gastric Cancer" addresses the need for non-invasive diagnostic tools for gastric cancer (GC). Traditional methods like endoscopy are invasive and expensive. The authors conducted a targeted metabolomics analysis of 702 plasma samples to develop machine learning models for GC diagnosis and prognosis. The diagnostic model, using 10 metabolites, achieved a sensitivity of 0.905, outperforming conventional protein marker-based methods. The prognostic model effectively stratified patients into risk groups, surpassing traditional clinical models.
I have successfully reproduced the diagnosis model from the paper. This machine learning-based system differentiates GC patients from non-GC controls using metabolomics data from plasma samples analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The model focuses on 10 metabolites, including succinate, uridine, lactate, and serotonin. Employing LASSO regression and a random forest classifier, the model achieved an AUROC of 0.967, with a sensitivity of 0.854 and specificity of 0.926. This model significantly outperforms traditional diagnostic methods and underscores the potential of integrating machine learning with metabolomics for early GC detection and treatment.

Project description:In breast cancer patients, tumor heterogeneity is associated with prognosis and therapeutic response; however, the epigenetic diversity that exists in primary tumors remains unknown. Using a single-cell sequencing assay for transposase-accessible chromatin (scATAC-seq), we obtained the chromatin accessibility profiles of 12,452 cells from 16 breast cancer patients including 11 luminal, 1 luminal-HER2, 1 HER2+, and 3 triple-negative subtypes. Via this profiling process, tumors were classified into cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment, highlighting the heterogeneity of disease-related pathways including estrogen receptor (ER) signaling. Furthermore, the coexistence of cancer cell clusters with different ER binding motif enrichments was identified in a single ER+ tumor. In a cluster with reduced ER motif enrichment, we identified GRHL2, a transcription factor, as the most enriched motif, and it cooperated with FOXA1 to initiate endocrine resistance. Coaccessibility analysis revealed that GRHL2 binding elements potentially regulate genes associated with endocrine resistance, metastasis, and poor prognosis in patients that received hormonal therapy. Overall, our study suggests that epigenetic heterogeneity could lead to endocrine resistance and poor prognosis in breast cancer patients and it offers a large-scale resource for further cancer research.
Project description:Immunotherapy has improved the prognosis of patients with advanced non-small cell lung
cancer (NSCLC), but only a small subset of patients achieved clinical benefit. The purpose of our study was to integrate multidimensional data using a machine learning method to predict the therapeutic efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) monotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC.The authors retrospectively enrolled 112 patients with stage IIIB-IV NSCLC receiving ICIs monotherapy. The random forest (RF) algorithm was used to establish efficacy prediction models based on five different input datasets, including precontrast computed tomography (CT) radiomic data, postcontrast CT radiomic data, combination of the two CT radiomic data, clinical data, and a combination of radiomic and clinical data. The 5-fold cross-validation was used to train and test the random forest classifier. The performance of the models was assessed according to the area under the curve (AUC) in the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Among these models(RF MLP LR XGBoost), our reproduced onnx models have better performance, especially for random forest. The response variable with a value (1/0) indicates the (efficacy/inefficacy) of PD-1/PD-L1 monotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC
