摘要:

区分乳腺癌的内在亚型对于确定最佳治疗策略至关重要。深度学习能够基于遗传信息比传统统计方法更准确地预测亚型,但截至目前,深度学习尚未被直接用于探究哪些基因与哪些亚型相关联。为阐明内在亚型背后的机制,我们开发了一种名为逐点线性(PWL)模型的可解释深度学习模型,该模型可为每位患者生成定制化的逻辑回归模型。逻辑回归是医生和医学信息学研究者都熟悉的方法,可用于分析特征变量的重要性,而PWL模型正是利用了逻辑回归的这些实用特性。在本研究中,我们表明分析乳腺癌亚型对患者具有临床益处,同时也是验证PWL模型性能的最佳方式之一。首先,我们利用RNA-seq数据训练PWL模型以预测PAM50内在亚型,并通过亚型预测任务将其应用于PAM50的41/50个基因。其次,我们开发了一种深度富集分析方法,以揭示PAM50亚型与乳腺癌拷贝数之间的关系。我们的研究结果表明,PWL模型利用了与细胞周期相关通路有关的基因。乳腺癌亚型分析中的这些初步成功,证明了我们的分析策略在阐明乳腺癌潜在机制和改善整体临床结局方面的潜力。

英文摘要:

Differentiating the intrinsic subtypes of breast cancer is crucial for deciding the best treatment strategy. Deep learning can predict the subtypes from genetic information more accurately than conventional statistical methods, but to date, deep learning has not been directly utilized to examine which genes are associated with which subtypes. To clarify the mechanisms embedded in the intrinsic subtypes, we developed an explainable deep learning model called a point-wise linear (PWL) model that generates a custom-made logistic regression for each patient. Logistic regression, which is familiar to both physicians and medical informatics researchers, allows us to analyze the importance of the feature variables, and the PWL model harnesses these practical abilities of logistic regression. In this study, we show that analyzing breast cancer subtypes is clinically beneficial for patients and one of the best ways to validate the capability of the PWL model. First, we trained the PWL model with RNA-seq data to predict PAM50 intrinsic subtypes and applied it to the 41/50 genes of PAM50 through the subtype prediction task. Second, we developed a deep enrichment analysis method to reveal the relationships between the PAM50 subtypes and the copy numbers of breast cancer. Our findings showed that the PWL model utilized genes relevant to the cell cycle-related pathways. These preliminary successes in breast cancer subtype analysis demonstrate the potential of our analysis strategy to clarify the mechanisms underlying breast cancer and improve overall clinical outcomes.
