Enzymes, among these globular proteins, facilitate biochemical reactions, while others, such as haemoglobin, contribute to essential physiological functions such as oxygen transport. Given the importance of these considerations, accurately identifying Globular proteins is essential. To address the need for precise GP identification, this research introduces an innovative approach that employs a hybrid-based deep learning model called Deep-GP. We generated two datasets based on primary sequences and developed a novel feature descriptor called, Consensus Sequence-based Trisection-Position Specific Scoring Matrix (CST-PSSM). The model training phase involved the application of deep learning techniques, including the bidirectional long short-term memory network (BiLSTM), gated recurrent unit (GRU), and convolutional neural network (CNN). The BiLSTM and CNN were hybridised for ensemble learning. The CST-PSSM-based ensemble model achieved the most accurate predictive outcomes, outperforming other competitive predictors across both training and testing datasets.

Accurate prediction of potential correlations between lncRNAs and diseases is crucial for advancing disease diagnostics and treatment procedures. The authors introduced a novel computational method, iGATTLDA, for the prediction of lncRNA-disease associations. The model utilised lncRNA and disease similarity matrices, with known associations represented in an adjacency matrix. A heterogeneous network was constructed, dissecting lncRNAs and diseases as nodes and their associations as edges. The Graph Attention Network (GAT) is employed to process initial features and corresponding adjacency information. GAT identified significant neighbouring nodes in the network, capturing intricate relationships between lncRNAs and diseases, and generating new feature representations. Subsequently, the transformer captures global dependencies and interactions across the entire sequence of features produced by the GAT. Consequently, iGATTLDA successfully captures complex relationships and interactions that conventional approaches may overlook. In evaluating iGATTLDA, it attained an area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of 0.95 and an area under the precision recall curve (AUPRC) of 0.96 with a two-layer multilayer perceptron (MLP) classifier. These results were notably higher compared to the majority of previously proposed models, further substantiating the model’s efficiency in predicting potential lncRNA-disease associations by incorporating both local and global interactions.

This research aimed to establish a signature risk model, which derived from the macrophage, to assess immunotherapeutic responses and predict prognosis. Data from the UCSC-XENA, GEO and TISCH databases were extracted for analysis. Based on both single-cell datasets and bulk transcriptome profiles, a macrophage-related score (MRS) consisting of the 10-gene panel was constructed using the gene set variation analysis.

Moreover, poor immunotherapy responses and worse prognostic performance were observed in the high-MRS group of various immunotherapy cohorts. Additionally, APOE, one of the constituent genes of the MRS, affected the polarisation of macrophages. In particular, the reduced level of M2 macrophage and tumour progression suppression were observed in PCa xenografts which implanted in Apolipoprotein E-knockout mice.
