Deep neural network for discovering metabolism-related biomarkers for lung adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Lung cancer is a major cause of illness and death worldwide. Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is its most common subtype. Metabolite-mRNA interactions play a crucial role in cancer metabolism. Thus, metabolism-related mRNAs are potential targets for cancer therapy.

Methods

This study constructed a network of metabolite-mRNA interactions (MMIs) using four databases. We retrieved mRNAs from the Tumor Genome Atlas (TCGA)-LUAD cohort showing significant expressional changes between tumor and non-tumor tissues and identified metabolism-related differential expression (DE) mRNAs among the MMIs. Candidate mRNAs showing significant contributions to the deep neural network (DNN) model were mined. Using MMIs and the results of function analysis, we created a subnetwork comprisi
