MetaNetwork Enhances Biological Insights from Quantitative Proteomics Differences by Combining Clustering and Enrichment Analyses

ABSTRACT: Interpreting proteomics data remains challenging due to the large number of proteins that are quantified by modern mass spectrometry methods. Weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA) can identify groups of biologically related proteins using only protein intensity values by constructing protein correlation networks. However, WGCNA is not widespread in proteomic analyses due to challenges in implementing workflows. To facilitate adoption of WGCNA by the proteomics field, we created MetaNetwork, an open-sourced, R-based application to perform sophisticated WGCNA workflows with no coding skill requirements for the end user. We demonstrate MetaNetwork’s utility by employing it to identify groups of proteins associated with prostate cancer from a proteomics analysis of tumor and adjacent normal tissue samples. We found a decrease in epithelial cell-type specific biomarkers, a known hallmark of prostate tumors. We further identified changes in module eigenproteins indicative of dysregulation in protein translation and trafficking pathways. These results demonstrate the value of using MetaNetwork to improve the biological interpretation of quantitative proteomics experiments for experiments including fifteen or more samples.

Project description:The frequent occurrence of persistent or relapsed disease following induction chemotherapy in AML necessitates a better understanding of the clonal relationship of AML in various disease phases. In this study, we employed SNP 6.0 array-based genomic profiling of acquired copy number aberrations (aCNA) and copy neutral LOH (cnLOH) together with sequence analysis of recurrently mutated genes to characterize paired AML genomes. We analyzed 28 AML sample pairs from patients that achieved complete remission with chemotherapy and subsequently relapsed and 11 sample pairs from patients with persistent disease following induction chemotherapy. Through review of aCNA/cnLOH and gene mutation profiles in informative cases we demonstrate that relapsed AML invariably represents reemergence or evolution of a founder clone. Furthermore, all individual aCNA or cnLOH detected at presentation persisted at relapse indicating that this lesion type is proximally involved in AML evolution. Analysis of informative paired persistent AML disease samples uncovered cases with two coexisting dominant clones of which at least one was chemotherapy sensitive and one resistant, respectively. These data support the conclusion that incomplete eradication of AML founder clones rather than stochastic emergence of fully unrelated novel clones underlies AML relapse and persistence with direct implications for clinical AML research This study is based on 39 patients with AML for which either paired enrollment or relapse samples or persistent disease samples were available. The patients were enrolled into this study at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. The study was approved by the University of Michigan Institutional Review Board (IRBMED #2004-1022) and written informed consent was obtained from all patients prior to enrollment. Genomic DNA was extracted from purified AML blasts and paired buccal cells. DNA thus obtained was hybridized to Affymetrix SNP 6.0 arrays. Note: There is no normal sample available for MIAML015.
