Blood gene expression profiles of very brief (5 and 10 mins) focal ischemia that simulates transient ischemic attacks in humans were compared with ischemic stroke (120 mins focal ischemia), sham, and naïve controls. The number of significantly regulated genes after 5 and 10 mins of cerebral ischemia was 39 and 160, respectively (fold change ⩾∣1.5∣ and P<0.05). There were 103 genes common to brief focal ischemia and ischemic stroke. Ingenuity pathway analysis showed that genes regulated in the 5 mins group were mainly involved in small molecule biochemistry. Genes regulated in the 10 mins group were involved in cell death, development, growth, and proliferation. Such genes were also regulated in the ischemic stroke group. Genes common to ischemia were involved in the inflammatory response, immune response, and cell death—indicating that these pathways are a feature of focal ischemia, regardless of the duration. These results provide evidence that brief focal ischemia differentially regulates gene expression in the peripheral blood in a manner that could distinguish brief focal ischemia from ischemic stroke and controls in rats. We postulate that this will also occur in humans.

ABSTRACT Genome-wide analysis of temporal gene expression profiles in Escherichia coli following exposure to cadmium revealed a shift to anaerobic metabolism and induction of several stress response systems. Disruption in the transcription of genes encoding ribosomal proteins and zinc-binding proteins may partially explain the molecular mechanisms of cadmium toxicity.

Machine learning (ML)-based algorithms are playing an important role in cancer diagnosis and are increasingly being used to aid clinical decision-making. However, these commonly operate as ‘black boxes’ and it is unclear how decisions are derived. Recently, techniques have been applied to help us understand how specific ML models work and explain the rational for outputs. This study aims to determine why a given type of cancer has a certain phenotypic characteristic. Cancer results in cellular dysregulation and a thorough consideration of cancer regulators is required. This would increase our understanding of the nature of the disease and help discover more effective diagnostic, prognostic, and treatment methods for a variety of cancer types and stages. Our study proposes a novel explainable analysis of potential biomarkers denoting tumorigenesis in non-small cell lung cancer. A number of these biomarkers are known to appear following various treatment pathways. An enhanced analysis is enabled through a novel mathematical formulation for the regulators of mRNA, the regulators of ncRNA, and the coupled mRNA–ncRNA regulators. Temporal gene expression profiles are approximated in a two-dimensional spatial domain for the transition states before converging to the stationary state, using a system comprised of coupled-reaction partial differential equations. Simulation experiments demonstrate that the proposed mathematical gene-expression profile represents a best fit for the population abundance of these oncogenes. In future, our proposed solution can lead to the development of alternative interpretable approaches, through the application of ML models to discover unknown dynamics in gene regulatory systems.

Abstract Background: Intellectual disabilities (IDs) are a group of developmental disorders with high phenotypic and genotypic heterogeneity. Association of genetic elements to IDs has typically been empirically accomplished, however recently, machine learning (ML) has proved to be an excellent instrument to elucidate these associations. miRNAs are short non-coding molecules that participate in spatiotemporal gene regulation, making them relevant for the understanding ID causality. Methods: In this study we used the BrainSpan spatio-temporal expression database to develop a series of machine learning predictors: SVM, RF, FF-ANN, and Stochastic Gradient Descent Classifier. These models were capable of recognizing gene expression profiles. The best classifier was used to label miRNAs associated with NS-IDs using the BrainSpan expression profiles. Results: The model with the best performance was a FF-ANN with 0.78 of F1-score, 0.78 of weighted recall and 0.78 of weighted precision. We used this model to identify miRNAs with high probability to be associated with NS-IDs using the spatio-temporal gene expression profile in the human brain. Labeled miRNAs that were annotated were associated with processes related to either IDs and-or neurodevelopmental processes. Conclusions: The development of a machine learning framework that identified potential NS-ID miRNAs represents an interesting approach for the identification of a potential list of on genes that could be subject for further experimental validation. This study also reinforces the potential of machine learning frameworks in their discovery of potential biomarkers that could improve disease detection and management.
