Improved lung cancer classification by employing diverse molecular features of microRNAs.

ABSTRACT: MiRNAs are edited or modified in multiple ways during their biogenesis pathways. It was reported that miRNA editing was deregulated in tumors, suggesting the potential value of miRNA editing in cancer classification. Here we extracted three types of miRNA features from 395 LUAD and control samples, including the abundances of original miRNAs, the abundances of edited miRNAs, and the editing levels of miRNA editing sites. Our results show that eight classification algorithms selected generally had better performances on combined features than on the abundances of miRNAs or editing features of miRNAs alone. One feature selection algorithm, i.e., the DFL algorithm, selected only three features, i.e., the frequencies of hsa-miR-135b-5p, hsa-miR-210-3p and hsa-mir-182_48u (an edited miRNA), from 316 training samples. Seven classification algorithms achieved 100% accuracies on these three features for 79 independent testing samples. These results indicate that the additional information of miRNA editing is useful in improving the classification of LUAD samples.

Project description:BackgroundRadiomics, defined as quantitative features extracted from images, provide a non-invasive means of assessing malignant versus benign pulmonary nodules. In this study, we evaluate the consistency with which perinodular radiomics extracted from low-dose computed tomography images serve to identify malignant pulmonary nodules.Materials and methodsUsing the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST), we selected individuals with pulmonary nodules between 4mm to 20mm in diameter. Nodules were segmented to generate four distinct datasets; 1) a Tumor dataset containing tumor-specific features, 2) a 10 mm Band dataset containing parenchymal features between the segmented nodule boundary and 10mm out from the boundary, 3) a 15mm Band dataset, and 4) a Tumor Size dataset containing the maximum nodule diameter. Models to predict malignancy were constructed using support-vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) approaches. Ten-fold cross validation with 10 repetitions per fold was used to evaluate the performance of each approach applied to each dataset.ResultsWith respect to the RF, the Tumor, 10mm Band, and 15mm Band datasets achieved areas under the receiver-operator curve (AUC) of 84.44%, 84.09%, and 81.57%, respectively. Significant differences in performance were observed between the Tumor and 15mm Band datasets (adj. p-value <0.001). However, when combining tumor-specific features with perinodular features, the 10mm Band + Tumor and 15mm Band + Tumor datasets (AUC 87.87% and 86.75%, respectively) performed significantly better than the Tumor Size dataset (66.76%) or the Tumor dataset. Similarly, the AUCs from the SVM and LASSO were 84.71% and 88.91%, respectively, for the 10mm Band + Tumor.ConclusionsThe combined 10mm Band + Tumor dataset improved the differentiation between benign and malignant lung nodules compared to the Tumor datasets across all methodologies. This demonstrates that parenchymal features capture novel diagnostic information beyond that present in the nodule itself. (data agreement: NLST-163).
