Efficient Identification of Multiple Pathways: RNA-Seq Analysis of Livers from 56Fe Ion Irradiated Mice

ABSTRACT: Background: mRNA interactions with each other and other signaling molecules define different biological pathways and functions. Researchers have been investigating various tools to analyze these types of interactions. In particular, gene co-expression network methods have proved useful in finding and analyzing these molecular interactions. Many different analytical pipelines to identify these interactions networks have been proposed with the aim of identifying an optimal partition of the network where the individual modules are neither too small to make any general inference or too large to be biologically interpretable. Results: In this study, we propose a new pipeline to perform gene co-expression network analysis. The proposed pipeline uses WGCNA, a widely used software to perform different aspects of gene co-expression network analysis and modularity maximization algorithm to analyze novel RNA-Seq data to understand the effects of low-dose 56Fe ion irradiation on the formation of hepatocellular carcinoma in mice. The network results along with experimental validation show that using WGCNA combined with Modularity provide a more biologically interpretable network in our dataset. Our pipeline showed better performance than the existing clustering algorithm in WGCNA in finding modules and identified a module with mitochondrial subunits that are supported by mitochondrial complex assay. Conclusions: We present a pipeline that can reduce the problem of parameter selection with the existing algorithm in WGCNA for comparable RNA-Seq datasets which may assist in future research to discover novel mRNA interactions and their downstream molecular effects.

A weighted gene co-expression network analysis reveals lncRNA abnormalities in the peripheral blood associated with ultra-high-risk for psychosis

Project description:The primary study aim was to identify long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) abnormalities associated with ultra-high-risk (UHR) for psychosis based on a weighted gene co-expression network analysis.UHR patients were screened by the structured interview for prodromal syndromes (SIPS). We performed a WGCNA analysis on lncRNA and mRNA microarray profiles generated from the peripheral blood samples in fourteen treatment-seeking patients with UHR who never received psychiatric medication and eighteen demographically matched typically developing controls. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and canonical correlation analysis were then applied to reveal functions and correlation between lncRNAs and mRNAs.The lncRNAs were organized into co-expressed modules by WGCNA, two modules of which were strongly associated with UHR. The mRNA networks were constructed and two disease-associated mRNA modules were identified. A functional enrichment analysis showed that mRNAs were highly enriched for immune regulation and inflammation. Moreover, a significant correlation between lncRNAs and mRNAs were verified by a canonical correlation analysis.We identified novel lncRNA modules related to UHR. These results contribute to our understanding of the molecular basis of UHR from the perspective of systems biology and provide a theoretical basis for early intervention in the assumed development of schizophrenia.

Integrated proteomics and network analysis identifies protein hubs and network alterations in Alzheimer’s disease

Project description:We performed a systems-level study of disease-associated proteome changes in human frontal cortex of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients using an integrated approach that combines mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics, differential expression analysis, and co-expression network analysis. Our analyses of 16 human brain tissues from AD patients and age-matched controls showed organization of the cortical proteome into a network of 24 biologically meaningful modules of co-expressed proteins. Of these, 5 modules are positively correlated to AD phenotypes with hub proteins that are up-regulated in AD, and 6 modules are negatively correlated to AD phenotypes with hub proteins that are down-regulated in AD.

Transcriptome analysis of psoriasis in a large case-control sample: RNA-seq provides insights into disease mechanisms

Project description:To increase our understanding of psoriasis, we utilized RNA-seq to assay the transcriptomes of lesional psoriatic and normal skin. We sequenced polyadenylated RNA-derived cDNAs from 92 psoriatic and 82 normal punch biopsies, generating an average of ~38 million single-end 80-bp reads per sample. Comparison of 42 samples* examined by both RNA-seq and microarray [GSE13355] revealed marked differences in sensitivity, with transcripts identified only by RNA-seq having much lower expression than those also identified by microarray. RNA-seq identified many more differentially expressed transcripts enriched in immune system processes. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) revealed multiple modules of coordinately expressed epidermal differentiation genes, overlapping significantly with genes regulated by the long non-coding RNA TINCR, its target gene, staufen-1 (STAU1), the p63 target gene ZNF750, and its target KLF4. Other coordinately expressed modules were enriched for lymphoid and/or myeloid signature transcripts and genes induced by IL-17 in keratinocytes. Dermally-expressed genes were significantly down-regulated in psoriatic biopsies, most likely due to expansion of the epidermal compartment. These results demonstrate the power of WGCNA to elucidate gene regulatory circuits in psoriasis, and emphasize the influence of tissue architecture in both differential expression and co-expression analysis. *The list of 42 samples examined by both RNA-seq and microarray is provided in the 'MAoverlappedsamples.txt'. 92 psoriatic and 82 normal skin samples

Multilayer network construction and analysis pipeline for gene expression data

Project description:Molecular networks are key to understanding the complexity of biological systems. Despite the advances in network construction and analysis techniques, challenges remain in incorporating multidimensional interactions into a hybrid network model and reducing the complexity of large networks into functional modules or influential nodes. Here, we introduce CREAM, a user-friendly application that empowers biologists to construct multilayer networks by integrating gene expression data with various known interactions predicted by experimental and computational techniques, and to identify functional modules and prognostic biomarkers within these networks. When applied to multiple cancer types, CREAM outperforms state-of-the-art module detection methods in identifying biologically relevant modules. Further investigation of colon adenocarcinoma revealed numerous well-known cancer regulators and a promising new therapeutic target, miR-8485. Our in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated its inhibitory effects on colon cancer cell proliferation and migration. Overall, CREAM is expected to significantly advance network-based precision medicine research.

A co-expression analysis of the placental transcriptome in association with maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and newborn birth weight

Project description:We conducted a genome-wide placental transcriptome study aiming at the identification of functional pathways representing the molecular link between maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and fetal growth. We used RNA microarray (Agilent 8 X 60 K), medical records, and questionnaire data from 183 mother-newborn pairs from the ENVIRONAGE birth cohort study (Flanders, Belgium). We applied a weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and identified genes modules and hub genes that were associated with maternal BMI as well as newborn birth weight. Modules of interest were further characterized by gene ontology (GO) and pathway enrichment analyses. We assessed the mediating effects of modules and hub genes in the association between maternal BMI and newborn weight.

Sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) from Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve muscle transcriptome

Project description:This dataset was gene expression from natural sockeye salmon populations used to test the preservation of coexpression networks that were found in lake whitefish. Here is the abstract of the manuscript:BackgroundM-BM- : A functional understanding of processes involved in adaptive divergence is one of the awaiting opportunities afforded by high throughput transcriptomic technologies. Functional analysis of co-expressed genes has succeeded in the biomedical field in identifying key drivers of disease pathways. However, in ecology and evolutionary biology, functional interpretation of transcriptomic data is still limited. ResultsM-BM- : Here we used Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) to identify modules of co-expressed genes in muscle and brain tissue of a lake whitefish backcross progeny. Modules were connected to gradients of known adaptive traits involved in the ecological speciation process between benthic and limnetic ecotypes. Key drivers, i.e. hub genes of functional modules related to reproduction, growth, and behavior were identified, and module preservation was assessed in natural populations. Using this approach, we identified modules of co-expressed genes involved in phenotypic divergence and their key drivers, and further characterized the underlying regulatory structure governing these complex traits. ConclusionsM-BM- : Functional analysis of transcriptomic data can significantly contribute to the understanding of the mechanisms underlying ecological speciation. Our findings point to BMP and Calcium signaling as common pathways involved in coordinated evolution of trophic behavior, trophic morphology (gill rakers), and reproduction. Results also point to housekeeping pathways implicating hemoglobins and constitutive stress response (HSP70) governing growth in lake whitefish. Here are 49 female sockeye salmon transcriptomes as measured by the 16k cGRASP microarray.

Transcriptome analysis and weighted gene co-expression network reveal candidate genes and pathways responses to lactate dehydrogenase inhibition (oxamate) in hyperglycemic human renal proximal epithelial tubular cells

Project description:Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of both chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In this study, we performed transcriptome gene expression profiling of kidney tissues in human renal proximal epithelial tubular cell line (HK-2) treated with high D-glucose (HG) for 7 days before the addition of 40 mM oxamate for a further 24 hours in the presence of HG. Afterwards, we analyzed the differentially expressed (DE) genes and investigated gene relationships based on weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Accordingly, enrichment analyses of GO terms and KEGG pathways showed that several pathways (e.g., lysosome (hsa04142) and p53 signaling pathway (hsa04115)) may be involved in a response of HK-2 cells to oxamate. Moreover, via WGCNA, we identified two modules: both the turquoise and blue modules were enriched in pathways associated with lysosome. However, the P53 signaling pathway was only found using all 3,884 DE genes. Furthermore, the key hub genes IGFBP3 interacted with 6 up-regulated and 12 down-regulated DE genes in the network that were enriched in the P53 signaling pathway. This is the first study reporting co-expression patterns of a gene network after lactate dehydrogenase inhibition in HK-2 cells. Our results may contribute to our understanding of the underlying molecular mechanism of in vitro reprogramming under hyperglycemic stress that orchestrates the survival and functions of HK-2 cells.
