Abstract Esophageal cancer (EC) is a type of aggressive without clinically relevant molecular subtypes, hindering the development effective strategies for treatment. To define subtypes EC, we perform mass spectrometry-based proteomic and phosphoproteomics profiling EC tumors adjacent non-tumor tissues, revealing catalog proteins phosphosites that are dysregulated in ECs. The cohort stratified into two subtypes—S1 S2—based on analysis, with S2 subtype characterized by upregulation...

Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks serve as a powerful tool for unraveling protein functions, disease-gene and disease-disease associations. However, direct strategy integrating interaction, function diseases is still absent. Moreover, the interrelated relationships among these three levels are poorly understood. Here we present novel systematic method to integrate function, disease networks. We first identified topological modules in human data using network algorithm (NeTA)...

Accurately predicting the risk of cancer patients is a central challenge for clinical research. For high-dimensional gene expression data, Cox proportional hazard model with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator variable (Lasso-Cox) one most popular feature prediction algorithms. However, Lasso-Cox treats all genes equally, ignoring biological characteristics themselves. This often encounters problem poor prognostic performance on independent datasets.Here, we propose Reweighted...

For high-dimensional expression data, most prognostic models perform feature selection based on individual genes, which usually lead to unstable prognosis, and the identified risk genes are inherently insufficient in revealing complex molecular mechanisms. Since carry out cellular functions by forming protein complexes-basic representatives of functional modules, identifying complexes may greatly improve our understanding disease biology. Coupled with fact that have been shown innate...

Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy has become a powerful clinical strategy for treating melanoma. The relationship between somatic mutations and the benefits of immunotherapy been widely recognized. However, gene-based predictive biomarkers are less stable due to heterogeneity cancer at individual gene level. Recent studies have suggested that accumulation in biological pathways may activate antitumor immune responses. Herein, novel pathway mutation signature (PMS) was constructed...

Identifying dysregulated pathways from high-throughput experimental data in order to infer underlying biological insights is an important task. Current pathway-identification methods focus on single isolation; however, consideration of crosstalk between could improve our understanding alterations states. We propose a novel method pathway analysis based global influence (PAGI) identify pathways, by considering both within-pathway effects and pathways. constructed gene–gene network the...

Accurately predicting patient risk and identifying survival biomarkers are two important tasks in analysis. For the emerging high-throughput gene expression data, random forest (RSF) is attracting more attention as it not only shows excellent performance on prediction problems with high-dimensional variables, but also capable of variables according to variable importance automatically calculated within algorithm. However, RSF still suffers from some such limited predictive accuracy...

Integration of pathway and protein-protein interaction (PPI) data can provide more information that could lead to new biological insights. PPIs are usually represented by a simple binary model, whereas pathways complicated models. We developed series rules for transforming protein interactions from the seven databases, including PID, BioCarta, Reactome, NetPath, INOH, SPIKE KEGG, were transformed based on these rules. These pathway-derived integrated with other five PPI databases HPRD,...
