CAKR: commutative algebra k-mer representations for genomics.

Despite the availability of various sequence analysis models, comparative genomic analysis remains a challenge in genomics, genetics, and phylogenetics. Commutative algebra, a fundamental tool in algebraic geometry and number theory, has rarely been used in data and biological sciences. In this study, we introduce commutative algebra k-mer representations as a nonlinear algebraic framework for analyzing genomic sequences. This representation bridges commutative algebra, algebraic topology, combinatorics, and machine learning to establish a mathematical framework for comparative genomic analysis. We evaluate its effectiveness on three tasks including genetic variant classification, phylogenetic tree reconstruction, and viral classification, typically requiring alignment-based, alignment-free, and machine-learning approaches, respectively. In this work, we show that commutative algebra k-mer representations outperform five state-of-the-art sequence analysis methods across twelve primary datasets, with two additional supplementary fragment-placement benchmarks, especially in viral classification, and maintain relatively stable predictive accuracy as dataset size increases, underscoring scalability and robustness.

Discovery of novel diagnostic biomarkers of hepatocellular carcinoma associated with immune infiltration.

OBJECTIVE: Diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains challenging for clinicians. Machine learning approaches and big data analyses are viable strategies for identifying HCC diagnostic markers. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, we downloaded mRNA expression profiles of HCC from the GEO database and used random forest and machine learning algorithms, such as least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, to screen for reliable diagnostic genes. Disease Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis enrichment analyses were performed to explore differential gene functions and disease pathways. CIBERSORT was performed to calculate the immune cell infiltration of HCC and the correlation between diagnostic genes and immune cells. Cell experiments were performed to evaluate the function of R-spondin 3 (RSPO3) in HCC cells. Immunohistochemical staining was used to evaluate the protein expression of CD138, CD206 and iNOS. RESULTS: The results indicated that extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1), Niemann-Pick C1-Like 1 (NPC1L1) and RSPO3 were down-regulated in HCC compared with the normal group (p < 0.05), which was validated in clinical tissue samples. Moreover, ECM1, NPC1L1 and RSPO3 had high diagnostic values (AUC > 0.75) for HCC in both training and test groups. Immuno-infiltration analysis revealed that ECM1 and RSPO3 were highly positively correlated with neutrophil and macrophage M2 levels, whereas they were negatively correlated with Tregs. RSPO3-si affected cell proliferation and apoptosis in HCC. Furthermore, RSPO3 exhibited a positive correlation with tumour progression, the proportion of plasma cells and M2 macrophages in mice, while showing a negative association with M1 macrophages. CONCLUSION: The present study identified ECM1, NPC1L1 and RSPO3 as new diagnostic biomarkers for HCC based on normal and diseased samples from HCC, meanwhile the pro-oncogenic function of RSPO3 and its regulation on immune infiltration have been confirmed.

Collaborative filtering on a family of biological targets.

Building a QSAR model of a new biological target for which few screening data are available is a statistical challenge. However, the new target may be part of a bigger family, for which we have more screening data. Collaborative filtering or, more generally, multi-task learning, is a machine learning approach that improves the generalization performance of an algorithm by using information from related tasks as an inductive bias. We use collaborative filtering techniques for building predictive models that link multiple targets to multiple examples. The more commonalities between the targets, the better the multi-target model that can be built. We show an example of a multi-target neural network that can use family information to produce a predictive model of an undersampled target. We evaluate JRank, a kernel-based method designed for collaborative filtering. We show their performance on compound prioritization for an HTS campaign and the underlying shared representation between targets. JRank outperformed the neural network both in the single- and multi-target models.

Exponential or polynomial learning Curves? - case-based studies

Learning curves exhibit a diversity of behaviors such as phase transition. However, the understanding of learning curves is still extremely limited, and existing theories can give the impression that without empirical studies (e.g., cross validation), one can probably do nothing more than qualitative interpretations. In this note, we propose a theory of learning curves based on the idea of reducing learning problems to hypothesis-testing ones. This theory provides a simple approach that is potentially useful for predicting and interpreting (a diversity of) learning curve behaviors qualitatively and quantitatively, and it applies to finite training sample size and finite learning machine and for learning situations not necessarily within the Bayesian framework. We illustrate the results by examining some exponential learning curve behaviors observed in Cohn and Tesauro (1992)'s experiment.

Finding relevant biomolecular features.

Many methods for analyzing biological problems are constrained by problem size. The ability to distinguish between relevant and irrelevant features of a problem may allow a problem to be reduced in size sufficiently to make it tractable. The issue of learning in the presence of large numbers of irrelevant features is an important one in machine learning, and recently, several methods have been proposed to address this issue. A combination of machine learning approaches and statistical analysis methods can be used to identify a set of relevant attributes for currently intractable biological problems. We call our framework F/I/E (Focus-Induce-Extract). As an example of this methodology, this paper reports on the identification of the features of mutations in collagen that are likely to be relevant in the bone disease Osteogenesis imperfecta.

Evaluation of automatically learned intelligent alarm systems.

In this contribution it is investigated whether a combination of mathematical simulation and inductive machine learning can replace the usual knowledge elicitation techniques. To test this a domain was selected for which knowledge based systems had a high performance: intelligent alarm systems. A mathematical model of a breathing circuit and ventilated patient was implemented in PSpice. Airway pressure, gas flows and CO2 concentration were simulated with this model, during normal functioning of the breathing circuit and during several mishaps, for a wide range of simulated patients. With an inductive machine learning program, classification trees were created from the simulated patient data. The classification trees described each breathing circuit mishap in terms of changes in signal feature values with respect to the normal situation and were implemented as alarm system knowledge bases. The alarm systems were tested with data measured at 17 mechanically ventilated animals. During ventilation of the animals several mishaps were introduced. For each animal, 93-100% of all mishaps could be detected correctly by the alarm systems. The false alarm rate ranged on average from one false alarm per h to one false alarm every 2.5 h. It was concluded that the suggested approach to knowledge elicitation was successful.

Classification of faces in man and machine.

We attempt to shed light on the algorithms humans use to classify images of human faces according to their gender. For this, a novel methodology combining human psychophysics and machine learning is introduced. We proceed as follows. First, we apply principal component analysis (PCA) on the pixel information of the face stimuli. We then obtain a data set composed of these PCA eigenvectors combined with the subjects' gender estimates of the corresponding stimuli. Second, we model the gender classification process on this data set using a separating hyperplane (SH) between both classes. This SH is computed using algorithms from machine learning: the support vector machine (SVM), the relevance vector machine, the prototype classifier, and the K-means classifier. The classification behavior of humans and machines is then analyzed in three steps. First, the classification errors of humans and machines are compared for the various classifiers, and we also assess how well machines can recreate the subjects' internal decision boundary by studying the training errors of the machines. Second, we study the correlations between the rank-order of the subjects' responses to each stimulus-the gender estimate with its reaction time and confidence rating-and the rank-order of the distance of these stimuli to the SH. Finally, we attempt to compare the metric of the representations used by humans and machines for classification by relating the subjects' gender estimate of each stimulus and the distance of this stimulus to the SH. While we show that the classification error alone is not a sufficient selection criterion between the different algorithms humans might use to classify face stimuli, the distance of these stimuli to the SH is shown to capture essentials of the internal decision space of humans. Furthermore, algorithms such as the prototype classifier using stimuli in the center of the classes are shown to be less adapted to model human classification behavior than algorithms such as the SVM based on stimuli close to the boundary between the classes.

[Memory, brain, a machine for learning and rememberingy].

Following a previous paper describing how memory appeared in the nervous system in mammalians, during evolution, and how its significant growth led to hominization, the present paper intends to show the prevailing place it occupies in human brain. Memory, an attribute of cortex, is an engraving of neuronal circuits created during information analysis of data input in the cortex. It is created either by repetition of information or by increase in brain activity, under the influence of a central brain system. In the brain of human newborns, immature and unprogrammed, but endowed with a great capacity for learning, the whole organization and programming will be possible through learning and remembering. Communication pathways between functions are memory pathways. Brain becomes a memory machine and every cortical area is a memory territory. Its lesion results in a disturbance corresponding exactly to forgetting what has been stored in that territory.

Penalised regression improves imputation of cell-type specific expression using RNA-seq data from mixed cell populations compared to domain-specific methods.

Gene expression studies often use bulk RNA sequencing of mixed cell populations because single cell or sorted cell sequencing may be prohibitively expensive. However, mixed cell studies may miss expression patterns that are restricted to specific cell populations. Computational deconvolution can be used to estimate cell fractions from bulk expression data and infer average cell-type expression in a set of samples (e.g., cases or controls), but imputing sample-level cell-type expression is required for more detailed analyses, such as relating expression to quantitative traits, and is less commonly addressed. Here, we assessed the accuracy of imputing sample-level cell-type expression using a real dataset where mixed peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and sorted (CD4, CD8, CD14, CD19) RNA sequencing data were generated from the same subjects (N=158), and pseudobulk datasets synthesised from eQTLgen single cell RNA-seq data. We compared three domain-specific methods, CIBERSORTx, bMIND and debCAM/swCAM, and two cross-domain machine learning methods, multiple response LASSO and ridge, that had not been used for this task before. We also assessed the methods according to their ability to recover differential gene expression (DGE) results. LASSO/ridge showed higher sensitivity but lower specificity for recovering DGE signals seen in observed data compared to deconvolution methods, although LASSO/ridge had higher area under curves than deconvolution methods. Machine learning methods have the potential to outperform domain-specific methods when suitable training data are available.

Proteomics uncovers ICAM2 (CD102) as a novel serum biomarker of proliferative lupus nephritis.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to identify novel, non-invasive biomarkers for lupus nephritis (LN) through serum proteomics. METHODS: Serum proteins were detected in patients with LN and healthy control (HC) groups through liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The key networks associated with LN were screened out using Cytoscape software, followed by pathway enrichment analysis. The best candidate biomarkers were selected by machine learning models, further validated in a larger independent cohort. Finally, the expression of these candidate markers was verified in kidney tissue samples, and the mechanism was explored by knocking down the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 2 (ICAM2) through in vitro cell transfection with siRNA. RESULTS: Following the serum proteomic screening of LN, a key network of 20 proteins was identified. Machine learning models were used to select ICAM2 (CD102), metalloproteinase inhibitor 1 (TIMP1) and thrombospondin 1 (THSB1) for validation in independent cohorts. ICAM2 exhibited the highest area under the curve (AUC) value in distinguishing LN from HC (AUC=0.92) and was significantly correlated with activity index, proteinuria, albumin and anti-dsDNA antibody levels. Particularly, ICAM2 was significantly elevated in proliferative LN and was associated with specific pathological attributes, outperforming conventional parameters in distinguishing proliferative LN from non-proliferative LN. ICAM2 expression was also elevated in renal tissue samples from patients with proliferative LN. In vitro, knockdown of ICAM2 expression can inhibit the activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway and alleviate the injury of glomerular endothelial cells. CONCLUSION: ICAM2 (CD102) may serve as a potential serum biomarker for proliferative LN that reflects renal pathology activity, potentially contributing to the progression of LN through the PI3K/Akt pathway.

SSB deficiency-induced R-loop accumulation triggers podocyte inflammation in DKD.

INTRODUCTION: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is fundamentally a podocytopathy in which sterile inflammation plays a central pathogenic role, yet the upstream triggers that initiate inflammatory cascades in podocytes remain elusive. R-loops are critical regulators of genomic stability, and their pathological accumulation triggers DNA damage and innate immune activation. Whether R-loop dysregulation contributes to podocyte-driven inflammation in DKD is unknown. METHODS: We integrated single-cell transcriptomic profiling, dual machine learning algorithms, and functional experiments to dissect the R-loop regulatory network in the diabetic kidney. RESULTS: Integrated analysis of human diabetic kidney single-cell RNA-seq data revealed a globally compromised R-loop regulatory network selectively within podocytes. Intersection of podocyte-specific transcriptomic shifts with validated R-loop regulators identified 93 candidate genes, from which dual machine learning algorithms pinpointed SSB (Sjögren syndrome antigen B) as the principal podocyte-selective R-loop resolver and a superior diagnostic biomarker (AUC = 0.983). SSB expression was selectively downregulated in diabetic podocytes and showed the strongest positive correlation with the R-loop resolution module. Mechanistically, SSB loss impaired RNA splicing and stability pathways, leading to aberrant R-loop accumulation that activated the cGAS-dependent inflammatory signaling in podocytes. In two murine DKD models and high glucose-challenged podocytes, SSB was markedly reduced. Remarkably, SSB knockdown in podocytes alone sufficed to trigger R-loop accumulation and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, whereas both RNase H1-mediated R-loop removal and cGAS co-depletion blunted this response. DISCUSSION: These findings suggest that an SSB-governed R-loop -cGAS -inflammatory signaling axis may link genomic instability to podocyte inflammation and contribute to DKD progression, nominating R-loop homeostasis as a previously unrecognized potential therapeutic target.

Identification of NR4A2 as a Potential Predictive Biomarker for Atherosclerosis.

INTRODUCTION/OBJECTIVE: Atherosclerosis, a leading cause of death globally, is characterized by the buildup of immune cells and lipids in medium to large-sized arteries. However, its precise mechanism remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to explore innovative and reliable biomarkers as a viable approach for the identification and management of atherosclerosis. METHODS: The atherosclerosis-related datasets GSE100927 and GSE66360 were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The Limma package in the R programming language was utilized, applying the criteria of |logFC| > 1 and P < 0.05. Subsequently, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were performed on the 127 identified DEGs using R. Machine learning techniques were then applied to these data to explore and pinpoint potential biomarkers. The diagnostic potential of these markers was assessed via Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Finally, western blot, real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR), and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were employed to confirm the key biomarkers. RESULTS: Our research indicated that a total of 127 DEGs linked to atherosclerosis were successfully identified. Through the application of machine learning methods, eight critical genes were highlighted. Among these, Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 4 Group A Member-2 (NR4A2) emerged as the most promising marker for further investigation. CIBERSORT analysis revealed that NR4A2 expression levels were significantly correlated with multiple immune cell types, including B cells, plasma cells, and macrophages. Additional validation experiments confirmed that NR4A2 expression was indeed elevated in atherosclerotic plaques, supporting its potential as a biomarker for atherosclerosis. CONCLUSION: Our study identified NR4A2 as a potential immune-related biomarker for the diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis.

CCT2 defines a highly cisplatin-resistant and poor-prognosis subtype of lung adenocarcinoma.

Cisplatin-based chemotherapy is a standard treatment for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), yet acquired cisplatin resistance remains a marked cause of treatment failure. The molecular mechanisms driving cisplatin resistance in LUAD have not been fully elucidated. The present study integrated bulk transcriptomic data, genomic mutation profiles and single-cell RNA sequencing data to systematically investigate cisplatin resistance in LUAD. Resistance-associated genes were identified through differential expression, survival analysis and database integration. Unsupervised clustering was used to define cisplatin resistance-associated subtypes. Functional characteristics were explored using pathway enrichment, immune infiltration, tumor mutation burden and weighted gene co-expression network analysis. A machine learning framework incorporating 101 algorithms was applied to identify key genes and construct a prognostic model. Single-cell analyses and in vitro experiments were performed to validate the biological role of the core gene. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to identify potential therapeutic compounds. A total of two molecular subtypes with distinct cisplatin resistance levels and prognostic outcomes were identified. The high-resistance subtype exhibited enhanced cell cycle activity, DNA repair signaling and immune heterogeneity. Machine learning analysis revealed a five-gene signature, with chaperonin-containing TCP1 subunit 2 (CCT2) emerging as a key regulator of cisplatin resistance. Single-cell analyses showed that CCT2 was predominantly enriched in resistant epithelial cell subpopulations. Functional experiments demonstrated that CCT2 knockdown significantly inhibited cell proliferation and enhanced cisplatin sensitivity in LUAD cell lines. A number of candidate compounds targeting CCT2 exhibited stable binding in silico. The present findings identified CCT2 as a key mediator of cisplatin resistance in LUAD and provided potential therapeutic strategies to overcome chemotherapy resistance.

In silico prediction method for plant Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat- and pathogen effector interactions.

Plant Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins play a crucial role in effector recognition and activation of Effector triggered immunity following pathogen infection. Genome sequencing advancements have led to the identification of a myriad of NLRs in numerous agriculturally important plant species. However, deciphering which NLRs recognize specific pathogen effectors remains challenging. Predicting NLR-effector interactions in silico will provide a more targeted approach for experimental validation, critical for elucidating function, and advancing our understanding of NLR-triggered immunity. In this study, NLR-effector protein complex structures were predicted using AlphaFold2-Multimer for all experimentally validated NLR-effector interactions reported in literature. Binding affinities- and energies were predicted using 97 machine learning models from Area-Affinity. We show that AlphaFold2-Multimer predicted structures have acceptable accuracy and can be used to investigate NLR-effector interactions in silico. Binding affinities for 58 NLR-effector complexes ranged between -8.5 and -10.6 log(K), and binding energies between -11.8 and -14.4 kcal/mol-1, depending on the Area-Affinity model used. For 2427 "forced" NLR-effector complexes, these estimates showed larger variability, enabling identification of novel NLR-effector interactions with 99% accuracy using an Ensemble machine learning model. The narrow range of binding energies- and affinities for "true" interactions suggest a specific change in Gibbs free energy, and thus conformational change, is required for NLR activation. This is the first study to provide a method for predicting NLR-effector interactions, applicable to all pathosystems. Finally, the NLR-Effector Interaction Classification (NEIC) resource can streamline research efforts by identifying NLRs important for plant-pathogen resistance, advancing our understanding of plant immunity.

Chromatin structures from integrated AI and polymer physics model.

The physical organization of the genome in three-dimensional space regulates many biological processes, including gene expression and cell differentiation. Three-dimensional characterization of genome structure is critical to understanding these biological processes. Direct experimental measurements of genome structure are challenging; computational models of chromatin structure are therefore necessary. We develop an approach that combines a particle-based chromatin polymer model, molecular simulation, and machine learning to efficiently and accurately estimate chromatin structure from indirect measures of genome structure. More specifically, we introduce a new approach where the interaction parameters of the polymer model are extracted from experimental Hi-C data using a graph neural network (GNN). We train the GNN on simulated data from the underlying polymer model, avoiding the need for large quantities of experimental data. The resulting approach accurately estimates chromatin structures across all chromosomes and across several experimental cell lines despite being trained almost exclusively on simulated data. The proposed approach can be viewed as a general framework for combining physical modeling with machine learning, and it could be extended to integrate additional biological data modalities. Ultimately, we achieve accurate and high-throughput estimations of chromatin structure from Hi-C data, which will be necessary as experimental methodologies, such as single-cell Hi-C, improve.

Subphenogroups of acute heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: comprehensive proteomics and pathway analysis.

BACKGROUND: Heterogeneity of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) results in significant challenges for treatment development. Identifying and characterising distinct HFpEF phenogroups may aid in tailoring therapeutic strategies for these patients. The objective of this study was to assess proteomic patterns of HFpEF phenogroups identified through a machine-learning-based clustering model, with the aim of uncovering specific biological pathways associated with each phenogroup. METHODS: This study represents a post-hoc analysis of the ongoing Prospective mUlticenteR obServational stUdy of patIenTs with Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction (PURSUIT-HFpEF) study, which is a multicentre prospective observational study of hospitalised patients with acute decompensated HFpEF. Of the overall cohort (N=1238), this study analysed 198 patients with HFpEF with available proteomics data. These patients were classified into four phenogroups using the machine-learning-based clustering model. The SomaScan assay V.4.1 was used to measure levels of >7000 plasma proteins, and subsequent pathway analysis was conducted to determine the biological differences among the phenogroups. RESULTS: We identified four distinct phenogroups: Phenogroup 1 ('rhythm trouble'), Phenogroup 2 ('ventricular-arterial uncoupling'), Phenogroup 3 ('low output and systemic congestion') and Phenogroup 4 ('systemic failure'). The proteomics revealed distinct protein expression profiles among the phenogroups, with ribonuclease 4, tax1-binding protein 1, regenerating islet-derived protein 3-gamma and alpha-1-antichymotrypsin being the most significant markers to specific identified phenogroups. Pathway analysis suggested differences in immune response, autonomic activation, cellular homeostasis and tissue repair mechanisms across the phenogroups. CONCLUSIONS: Using a comprehensive plasma proteomics approach, our study identified distinct proteomic profiles of HFpEF phenogroups, which in turn suggest specific underlying biological processes. These profiles suggest the involvement of inflammatory activation, tissue injury and regenerative responses, immune modulation and systemic stress signalling as key components of HFpEF pathophysiology.

Computerized segmentation of whole-body bone scintigrams and its use in automated diagnostics.

Bone scintigraphy or whole-body bone scan is one of the most common diagnostic procedures in nuclear medicine used in the last 25 years. Pathological conditions, technically poor image resolution and artefacts necessitate that algorithms use sufficient background knowledge of anatomy and spatial relations of bones in order to work satisfactorily. A robust knowledge based methodology for detecting reference points of the main skeletal regions that is simultaneously applied on anterior and posterior whole-body bone scintigrams is presented. Expert knowledge is represented as a set of parameterized rules which are used to support standard image-processing algorithms. Our study includes 467 consecutive, non-selected scintigrams, which is, to our knowledge the largest number of images ever used in such studies. Automatic analysis of whole-body bone scans using our segmentation algorithm gives more accurate and reliable results than previous studies. Obtained reference points are used for automatic segmentation of the skeleton, which is applied to automatic (machine learning) or manual (expert physicians) diagnostics. Preliminary experiments show that an expert system based on machine learning closely mimics the results of expert physicians.

The Path-A metabolic pathway prediction web server.

Pathway Analyst (Path-A) is a publicly available web server (http://path-a.cs.ualberta.ca) that predicts metabolic pathways. It takes a FASTA format file containing a set of query protein sequences from a single organism (a partial or complete proteome) and identifies those sequences that are likely to participate in any of its supported metabolic pathways (currently 10). Path-A uses a number of machine-learning and sequence analysis techniques (e.g. SVM, BLAST and HMM) to predict pathways. Each machine-learned classifier exploits similarity between sequences in the pathways of its model organisms and sequences in the query set. It predicts the pathways that are present in the query organism and annotates each predicted reaction and catalyst, using the appropriate sequences from the query set. Path-A also provides a browsable and searchable database of the pathways for the model organisms that are used to make its predictions. Path-A's predictor sets (using different classifier technologies) have been evaluated using standard cross-validation techniques on a dataset of 10 metabolic pathways across 13 model organisms--a total of 125 organism-specific pathways. The most accurate classifier technology obtained a mean precision of 78.3% and a mean recall of 92.6% in predicting all catalyst proteins, of all reactions, in all pathways present in the dataset. Although Path-A currently only supports metabolic pathways, the underlying prediction techniques are general enough for other types of pathways. Consequently, it is our intent to extend Path-A to predict other types of pathways, including signalling pathways.
