CDK1 and HSP90AA1 appears as novel regulatory gene in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Bioinformatics Approach

Abstract

Lung cancer is one of the most invasive cancer affecting over a million of population. Non-small cell lung cancer constitutes up to 85% of all lung cancer cases. Therefore, it is important to identify prognostic biomarkers of NSCLC for therapeutic purpose. The complex behaviour of the NSCLC gene-regulatory network interaction is investigated using a network theoretical approach. We used eight NSCLC microarray datasets GSE19188, GSE118370, GSE10072, GSE101929, GSE7670, GSE33532, GSE31547, GSE31210 and meta analyse them to find differentially expressed genes (DEGs), construct protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, analysed its topological properties, significant modules using network analyser with MCODE, construct a PPI-MCODE network using the genes of the significant modules. We used topological properties such as Maximal Clique Centrality (MCC) and bottleneck from the PPI-MCODE network. We compare them with hub genes (those with highest degrees) to find key regulator (KR) gene. This result is also validated by finding of common genes among top twenty hub genes, genes with highest betweenness, closeness centrality and eigenvector values. It was found that two genes, CDK1 and HSP90AA1 were common in PPI-MCODE combined analysis, and it was also found that CDK1, HSP90AA1 and HSPA8 were common among hub and bottle neck properties and suggesting significant regulatory role of CDK1 in non-small cell lung cancer. After validation, the common genes among top twenty hubs and centrality values like Betweenness Centrality, Closeness Centrality and eigen vector properties, CDK1 again appeared as the common gene. Our study as a summary suggested CDK1 as key regulator gene in complex NSCLC network interaction using network theoretical approach and described the complex topological properties of the network.

Low-fidelity simulator selection for multi-fidelity inference of epithelial vertex models

Vertex models link cell division, neighbour exchange, and intercellular forces to epithelial tissue form through parameters such as junctional line tension and perimeter contractility. Bayesian inference of these parameters from data quantifies their uncertainty, but for stochastic models of proliferating tissues it requires many costly simulations. Multi-fidelity simulation-based inference reduces this cost by training on many runs of a cheaper, less accurate ('low-fidelity') simulator before refining with a few full ('high-fidelity') runs. Low-fidelity versions can be constructed in several ways, for example by stopping simulations early, coarsening the timestep, or averaging fewer replicates, but it is unclear which to choose before committing to costly training. To address this, we introduce PRISM (Paired Ranking Index for Simulator Matching), a screen that compares each candidate with the full simulator on paired runs, scoring agreement in cell-packing statistics against cost. For a vertex model of a proliferating tissue, PRISM flags stopping early as unreliable before training; once trained, this choice can produce confidently wrong parameter estimates. By contrast, a coarser timestep, within the range tested, is cheap and accurate; while fewer replicates are accurate but too costly. Using a screened low-fidelity simulator, multi-fidelity inference outperforms approximate Bayesian computation and neural-network inference trained on full simulations alone, at matched cost and with well-calibrated uncertainty. The same pattern recurs for a second vertex model fitted to published Drosophila pupal-wing imaging data, although there stopping halfway proves safe. Together, our findings suggest that which approximations are safe depends on the model, and that screening them before training makes multi-fidelity inference of tissue mechanics practical.

Calibrating developmental dynamics from single-cell atlases: lineage paths outrun least-action routes

Single-cell atlases infer developmental dynamics from destructive snapshots, yet how far realized lineage paths depart from such inferred dynamics has never been measured with controls. We introduce LADD (Least-Action Developmental Dynamics), a measurement framework that learns a stochastic developmental vector field from time-series single-cell RNA-seq and computes minimum-action and minimum-time paths, together with a three-layer calibration protocol that separates genuine path deviation from the generic cost of centroid measurement, and we compare its forecasting component with optimal-transport and flow-matching methods. In the lineage-resolved Caenorhabditis elegans atlas, the raw action ratio of observed lineage-centroid trajectories to optimal paths is 3.79, yet forward-simulated ensembles of the learned model itself score 2.07, leaving a genuine excess of about two-fold. In zebrafish (Danio rerio), the observed ratio sits entirely at the model's floor. Three mechanisms that could explain the residual deviation (detours, flow-opposition, and fate-map complexity) are each excluded; what remains is speed, with lineages moving 30-43% faster along the learned flow. We report validity boundaries for temporal resolution, cross-species comparison, and energetic interpretation, delimiting where action-based trajectory comparisons are meaningful.

Choice of annotation data significantly impacts automated reconstruction of genome-scale metabolic networks

Genome-scale metabolic models are valuable tools for studying metabolism in many applications, such as metabolic engineering or understanding human disease. However, curated models are available for only a limited number of organisms, and generating high-quality models for additional organisms remains a challenge. To help address this challenge, several software tools have been developed that can produce draft models in an automated fashion, but the quality of these draft models lags behind manually curated ones. Thus, there is still a need to improve these tools. Previous work has focused primarily on developing better methods for each step in the reconstruction process, such as gene annotation and gap-filling. Here, we focus on the data that underlies these methods, such as known connections between protein sequence and function. We find that changing the source of reconstruction data has a substantial impact on the contents and predictions of generated models. In fact, the source of data can have a bigger impact than the choice of reconstruction method. Additionally, we show that the reconstruction process is sensitive to the accuracy of gene annotations in the reconstruction data. Finally, we demonstrate the importance of having functional annotation data from an organism that is closely related to the one for which a model is being built. These observations highlight the importance of reconstruction data and identify principles that should be considered when selecting data for reconstruction tools.
