An integrative multi-omics approach to characterize interactions between tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT: Tuberculosis-diabetes mellitus (TB-DM) is linked to a distinct inflammatory profile, which can be assessed using multi-omics analyses. Here, a machine learning algorithm was applied to multi-platform data, including cytokines and gene expression in peripheral blood and eicosanoids in urine, in a Brazilian multi-center TB cohort. There were four clinical groups: TB-DM(n = 24), TB only(n = 28), DM(HbA1c ≥ 6.5%) only(n = 11), and a control group of close TB contacts who did not have TB or DM(n = 13). After cross-validation, baseline expression or abundance of MMP-28, LTE-4, 11-dTxB2, PGDM, FBXO6, SECTM1, and LINCO2009 differentiated the four patient groups. A distinct multi-omic-derived, dimensionally reduced, signature was associated with TB, regardless of glycemic status. SECTM1 and FBXO6 mRNA levels were positively correlated with sputum acid-fast bacilli grade in TB-DM. Values of the biomarkers decreased during the course of anti-TB therapy. Our study identified several markers associated with the pathophysiology of TB-DM that could be evaluated in future mechanistic investigations.

Project description:Genetic interactions occur when a combination of mutations results in a surprising phenotype. These interactions capture functional redundancy, and thus are important for predicting function, dissecting protein complexes into functional pathways, and exploring the mechanistic underpinnings of common human diseases. Synthetic sickness and lethality are the most studied types of genetic interactions in yeast. However, even in yeast, only a small proportion of gene pairs have been tested for genetic interactions due to the large number of possible combinations of gene pairs. To expand the set of known synthetic lethal (SL) interactions, we have devised an integrative, multi-network approach for predicting these interactions that significantly improves upon the existing approaches. First, we defined a large number of features for characterizing the relationships between pairs of genes from various data sources. In particular, these features are independent of the known SL interactions, in contrast to some previous approaches. Using these features, we developed a non-parametric multi-classifier system for predicting SL interactions that enabled the simultaneous use of multiple classification procedures. Several comprehensive experiments demonstrated that the SL-independent features in conjunction with the advanced classification scheme led to an improved performance when compared to the current state of the art method. Using this approach, we derived the first yeast transcription factor genetic interaction network, part of which was well supported by literature. We also used this approach to predict SL interactions between all non-essential gene pairs in yeast (http://sage.fhcrc.org/downloads/downloads/predicted_yeast_genetic_interactions.zip). This integrative approach is expected to be more effective and robust in uncovering new genetic interactions from the tens of millions of unknown gene pairs in yeast and from the hundreds of millions of gene pairs in higher organisms like mouse and human, in which very few genetic interactions have been identified to date.

Project description:Recent technological advances and international efforts, such as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), have made available several pan-cancer datasets encompassing multiple omics layers with detailed clinical information in large collection of samples. The need has thus arisen for the development of computational methods aimed at improving cancer subtyping and biomarker identification from multi-modal data. Here we apply the Integrative Network Fusion (INF) pipeline, which combines multiple omics layers exploiting Similarity Network Fusion (SNF) within a machine learning predictive framework. INF includes a feature ranking scheme (rSNF) on SNF-integrated features, used by a classifier over juxtaposed multi-omics features (juXT). In particular, we show instances of INF implementing Random Forest (RF) and linear Support Vector Machine (LSVM) as the classifier, and two baseline RF and LSVM models are also trained on juXT. A compact RF model, called rSNFi, trained on the intersection of top-ranked biomarkers from the two approaches juXT and rSNF is finally derived. All the classifiers are run in a 10x5-fold cross-validation schema to warrant reproducibility, following the guidelines for an unbiased Data Analysis Plan by the US FDA-led initiatives MAQC/SEQC. INF is demonstrated on four classification tasks on three multi-modal TCGA oncogenomics datasets. Gene expression, protein expression and copy number variants are used to predict estrogen receptor status (BRCA-ER, N = 381) and breast invasive carcinoma subtypes (BRCA-subtypes, N = 305), while gene expression, miRNA expression and methylation data is used as predictor layers for acute myeloid leukemia and renal clear cell carcinoma survival (AML-OS, N = 157; KIRC-OS, N = 181). In test, INF achieved similar Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) values and 97% to 83% smaller feature sizes (FS), compared with juXT for BRCA-ER (MCC: 0.83 vs. 0.80; FS: 56 vs. 1801) and BRCA-subtypes (0.84 vs. 0.80; 302 vs. 1801), improving KIRC-OS performance (0.38 vs. 0.31; 111 vs. 2319). INF predictions are generally more accurate in test than one-dimensional omics models, with smaller signatures too, where transcriptomics consistently play the leading role. Overall, the INF framework effectively integrates multiple data levels in oncogenomics classification tasks, improving over the performance of single layers alone and naive juxtaposition, and provides compact signature sizes.

Project description:1. Rationale: Stroke is still a major cause of death and disability worldwide. A better comprehension of stroke pathophysiology is fundamental to reduce its dramatic outcome. The use of high-throughput unbiased omics approaches, such as proteomics and transcriptomics, might aid to deepen the knowledge of stroke at the molecular level. Moreover, the integration of omics data is needed to depict the existing interaction between different molecular units and interpret the results in a global biological context. 2. Objective: Our aim was to identify and verify protein and gene expression changes that occur in the human brain after ischemia through an integrative approach to join and combine the information of both omics analyses. The translational potential of our results was explored in a pilot study with blood samples from ischemic stroke patients. 3. Methods and results: Proteomics and transcriptomics discovery studies were performed in human brain samples from deceased stroke patients, unveiling 128 proteins and 2716 genes significantly dysregulated after cerebral ischemia. Afterwards, integrative bioinformatics analyses joining both datasets exposed several canonical pathways altered in the ischemic area, such as neurotransmitters release or matrisome regulation, highlighting the most influential molecules in these pathways. To conduct the verification phase, 28 genes and 9 proteins were selected to be validated in independent human brain samples by means of orthogonal techniques. Our results were confirmed for NCDN, RAB3C, ST4A1, DNM1L, A1AG1, A1AT, JAM3, VTDB, ANXA1, ANXA2 and IL8. Finally, the blood circulating levels of the validated protein candidates were explored in ischemic stroke patients over the acute phase of the disease. Protein fluctuations along the first week after onset were detected for A1AG1 and A1AT. 4. Conclusion: The results presented here expand the knowledge of stroke pathology, revealing new key molecules that can be further explored as biomarkers and/or therapeutic targets of ischemic stroke.
