Network-based identification of key master regulators associated with an immune-silent cancer phenotype by Raghvendra Mall (581171)

“…We use a consensus of four different pipelines consisting of two state-of-the-art gene regulatory network inference techniques, regularized gradient boosting machines and ARACNE to determine TR regulons, and three separate enrichment techniques, including fast gene set enrichment analysis, gene set variation analysis and virtual inference of protein activity by enriched regulon analysis to identify the most important TRs affecting immunologic antitumor activity. …”

Single-Cell Transcriptome Analysis Revealed Heterogeneity and Identified Novel Therapeutic Targets for Breast Cancer Subtypes by Radhakrishnan Vishnubalaji (3563306)

“…Mechanistically, targeted depletion of ENO1 and FDPS halted TNBC cell proliferation, colony formation, and organoid tumor growth under 3-dimensional conditions and increased cell death, suggesting their potential use as novel therapeutic targets for TNBC. Differential expression and gene set enrichment analysis in TNBC revealed enrichment in the cycle and mitosis functional categories in FDPShigh, while ENO1high was associated with numerous functional categories, including cell cycle, glycolysis, and ATP metabolic processes. …”

Blood-Based Proteomic Profiling Identifies Potential Biomarker Candidates and Pathogenic Pathways in Dementia by Hanan Ehtewish (17149825)

“…We used a high-throughput proximity extension immunoassay to quantify 1090 proteins in 122 participants (22 with dementia, 64 with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and 36 controls with normal cognitive function). Limma-based differential expression analysis reported the dysregulation of 61 proteins in the plasma of those with dementia compared with controls, and machine learning algorithms identified 17 stable diagnostic biomarkers that differentiated individuals with AUC = 0.98 ± 0.02. …”
