However, the existing methods usually employ the gene expression data, ignoring the related information between genes and the structure information in data. Therefore, we propose a new method (NDMgcn) to reconstruct the gene expression data based on the association of gene network, and cluster the data by Variational Autoencoder (V AE) and Graph Convolutional Network (GCN). The V AE learns low-dimensional information and the GCN learns structural information. The experimental results indicate that NDMgcn outperforms other popular algorithms in terms of NMI and ARI metrics.

Cancer therapies based on glycoconjugation, the linking of a drug to glucose or another sugar, allow improved selectivity and targeting, thus reducing harmful side effects. This mechanism exploits the over-expression of glucose membrane transporters, a phenotypic alteration in cancer cells included in an array of metabolic alterations known as the Warburg effect. However, the extent to which tumour masses adopt the Warburg phenotype is unclear, potentially limiting the efficacy of therapies based on glycoconjugation. We simulated multiple “what-if” scenarios, each modelling increasing proportions of tumour populations that adopted the Warburg phenotype, and compared the results to the expected growth curves derived from laboratory studies. Our results suggest that the Warburg phenotype is prevalent in tumours, with the population of cancer cells adopting this phenotype significantly outnumbering that of cells that do not.","PeriodicalId":178168,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 9th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (ICBCB)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114558633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In real bio-environment, the connections among drugs and targets, as well as themselves construct a complex heterogeneous network, and profoundly affect the predictive performance of drug-target interactions. However, the current methods usually focus on the drug-target interactions alone, which may be very sparse and with numerous noises, may not produce satisfactory prediction results. In this paper, we propose a novel approach, dual-graph regularized robust PCA in heterogeneous network, for drug-target interaction prediction task. In particular, we aim at decompose the bipartite graph of drug-target interactions into two low-rank matrices, which represent the latent representations of drugs and targets respectively, and smooth the drug-drug and target-target graphs simultaneously. Moreover, an improved robust PCA model is used to suppress the widespread noisy connections in the decomposition stage. For the optimization, we design an efficient algorithm to solve few subproblems with close-form solution. Finally the extensive experiments on real world drug-target heterogeneous networks are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed methods.","PeriodicalId":178168,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 9th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (ICBCB)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124261602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was observed that expression levels of the genes associated with cell membrane almost increase, while those related to protein production nearly decrease. Regarding to cytosolic metabolism, the overall expression of TCA cycle goes up, while glycolysis holds most genes with lessened expressions.

From the experience, it is found that hypertension is an important risk factor of stroke. Improving the adherence of hypertension medication can effectively control blood pressure and further decrease stroke incidence. In this study, firstly, we employ oversampling and undersampling method to process the imbalanced dataset. Then, we build four machine learning models, namely logistic regression model, decision tree model, neural network model and random forest model, to classify medication adherence in hypertensive patients. We use the recall and precision to evaluate these models, and considering these two criteria, the model based on decision tree achieves best performance.

To identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs), microarray datasets GSE114868, GSE67936 and GSE65409 were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Function enrichment analysis was performed and protein-protein interaction network (PPI) was constructed.62 DEGs were identified, made up of 15 downregulated genes and 47 upregulated genes. The module analysis was performed using STRING and Cytoscape. The enriched functions and pathways of the DEGs include leukocyte degranulation, cytokine production, Th1 and Th2 cell differentiation, chromatin remodeling at centromere, somatic diversification of immune receptors and Renin-angiotensin system. Ten hub genes were identified through degrees calculated by CytoHubba and KEGG analysis indicated that hub genes were particularly enriched in Th1 and Th2 cell differentiation, Natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity and Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction. Supplementary analysis showed that only ITGAX gene had a big potential as higher expression and considerably worse survival in AML compared with normal.
