    Abstract: Background: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the seventh most common type of cancer worldwide. Its highly aggressive and heterogeneous nature and complex tumor microenvironment result in variable prognosis and immunotherapeutic outcomes for patients with HNSCC. Neurotrophic factor-related genes (NFRGs) play an essential role in the development of malignancies but have rarely been studied in HNSCC. The aim of this study was to develop a reliable prognostic model based on NFRGs for assessing the prognosis and immunotherapy of HNSCC patients and to provide guidance for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods: Based on the TCGA-HNSC cohort in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, expression profiles of NFRGs were obtained from 502 HNSCC samples and 44 normal samples, and the expression and prognosis of 2601 NFRGs were analyzed. TGCA-HNSC samples were randomly divided into training and test sets (7:3). GEO database of 97 tumor samples was used as the external validation set. One-way Cox regression analysis and Lasso Cox regression analysis were used to screen for differentially expressed genes significantly associated with prognosis. Based on 18 NFRGs, lasso and multivariate Cox proportional risk regression were used to construct a prognostic risk scoring system. ssGSEA was applied to analyze the immune status of patients in high- and low-risk groups. Results: The 18 NFRGs were considered to be closely associated with HNSCC prognosis and were good predictors of HNSCC. The multifactorial analysis found that the NFRGs signature was an independent prognostic factor for HNSCC, and patients in the low-risk group had higher overall survival (OS) than those in the high-risk group. The nomogram prediction map constructed from clinical characteristics and risk scores had good prognostic power. Patients in the low-risk group had higher levels of immune infiltration and expression of immune checkpoints and were more likely to benefit from immunotherapy. Conclusion: The NFRGs risk score model can well predict the prognosis of HNSCC patients. A nomogram based on this model can help clinicians classify HNSCC patients prognostically and identify specific subgroups of patients who may have better outcomes with immunotherapy and chemotherapy, and carry out personalized treatment for HNSCC patients.

    Abstract: The primary pathogenic cause of tooth loss in adults is periodontitis, although few reliable diagnostic methods are available in the early stages. One pathological factor that defines periodontitis pathology has previously been believed to be the equilibrium between inflammatory defense mechanisms and oxidative stress. Therefore, it is necessary to construct a model of oxidative stress-related periodontitis diagnostic markers through machine learning and bioinformatic analysis. Methods We used LASSO, SVM-RFE, and Random Forest techniques to screen for periodontitis-related oxidative stress variables and construct a diagnostic model by logistic regression, followed by a biological approach to build a Protein-Protein interaction network (PPI) based on modelled genes while using modelled genes. Unsupervised clustering analysis was performed to screen for oxidative stress subtypes of periodontitis. we used WGCNA to explore the pathways correlated with oxidative stress in periodontitis patients. Networks. Finally, we used single-cell data to screen the cellular subpopulations with the highest correlation by scoring oxidative stress genes and performed a proposed temporal analysis of the subpopulations. Results We discovered 3 periodontitis-associated genes ( CASP3, IL-1β , and TXN ). A characteristic line graph based on these genes can be helpful for patients. The primary hub gene screened by the PPI was constructed, where immune-related and cellular metabolism-related pathways were significantly enriched. Consistent clustering analysis found two oxidative stress categories, with the C2 subtype showing higher immune cell infiltration and immune function ratings. Therefore, we hypothesized that the high expression of oxidative stress genes was correlated with the formation of the immune environment in patients with periodontitis. Using the WGCNA approach, we examined the co-expressed gene modules related to the various subtypes of oxidative stress. Finally, we selected monocytes for mimetic time series analysis and analyzed the expression changes of oxidative stress genes with the mimetic time series axis, in which the expression of JUN, TXN, and IL-1β differed with the change of cell status. Conclusion This study identifies a diagnostic model of 3-OSRGs from which patients can benefit and explores the importance of oxidative stress genes in building an immune environment in patients with periodontitis.

    Abstract: Uveal melanoma (UVM) is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults and is highly metastatic, resulting in a poor patient prognosis. Sphingolipid metabolism plays an important role in tumor development, diagnosis, and prognosis. This study aimed to establish a reliable signature based on sphingolipid metabolism genes (SMGs), thus providing a new perspective for assessing immunotherapy response and prognosis in patients with UVM. Methods In this study, SMGs were used to classify UVM from the TCGA-UVM and GEO cohorts. Genes significantly associated with prognosis in UVM patients were screened using univariate cox regression analysis. The most significantly characterized genes were obtained by machine learning, and 4-SMGs prognosis signature was constructed by stepwise multifactorial cox. External validation was performed in the GSE84976 cohort. The level of immune infiltration of 4-SMGs in high- and low-risk patients was analyzed by platforms such as CIBERSORT. The prediction of 4-SMGs on immunotherapy and immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) response in UVM patients was assessed by ImmuCellAI and TIP portals. Results 4-SMGs were considered to be strongly associated with the prognosis of UVM and were good predictors of UVM prognosis. Multivariate analysis found that the model was an independent predictor of UVM, with patients in the low-risk group having higher overall survival than those in the high-risk group. The nomogram constructed from clinical characteristics and risk scores had good prognostic power. The high-risk group showed better results when receiving immunotherapy. Conclusions 4-SMGs signature and nomogram showed excellent predictive performance and provided a new perspective for assessing pre-immune efficacy, which will facilitate future precision immuno-oncology studies.

    Abstract: Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) participate in many biological processes by interacting with other proteins, including the regulation of transcription, translation, and the cell cycle. With the increasing amount of disorder sequence data available, it is thus crucial to identify the IDP binding sites for functional annotation of these proteins. Over the decades, many computational approaches have been developed to predict protein-protein binding sites of IDP (IDP-PPIS) based on protein sequence information. Moreover, there are new IDP-PPIS predictors developed every year with the rapid development of artificial intelligence. It is thus necessary to provide an up-to-date overview of these methods in this field. In this paper, we collected 30 representative predictors published recently and summarized the databases, features and algorithms. We described the procedure how the features were generated based on public data and used for the prediction of IDP-PPIS, along with the methods to generate the feature representations. All the predictors were divided into three categories: scoring functions, machine learning-based prediction, and consensus approaches. For each category, we described the details of algorithms and their performances. Hopefully, our manuscript will not only provide a full picture of the status quo of IDP binding prediction, but also a guide for selecting different methods. More importantly, it will shed light on the inspirations for future development trends and principles.

    Abstract: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the most common head and neck cancer and is highly aggressive and heterogeneous, leading to variable prognosis and immunotherapy outcomes. Circadian rhythm alterations in tumourigenesis are of equal importance to genetic factors and several biologic clock genes are considered to be prognostic biomarkers for various cancers. The aim of this study was to establish reliable markers based on biologic clock genes, thus providing a new perspective for assessing immunotherapy response and prognosis in patients with HNSCC. Methods We used 502 HNSCC samples and 44 normal samples from the TCGA-HNSCC dataset as the training set. 97 samples from GSE41613 were used as an external validation set. Prognostic characteristics of circadian rhythm-related genes (CRRGs) were established by Lasso, random forest and stepwise multifactorial Cox. Multivariate analysis revealed that CRRGs characteristics were independent predictors of HNSCC, with patients in the high-risk group having a worse prognosis than those in the low-risk group. The relevance of CRRGs to the immune microenvironment and immunotherapy was assessed by an integrated algorithm. Results 6-CRRGs were considered to be strongly associated with HNSCC prognosis and a good predictor of HNSCC. The riskscore established by the 6-CRRG was found to be an independent prognostic factor for HNSCC in multifactorial analysis, with patients in the low-risk group having a higher overall survival (OS) than the high-risk group. Nomogram prediction maps constructed from clinical characteristics and riskscore had good prognostic power. Patients in the low-risk group had higher levels of immune infiltration and immune checkpoint expression and were more likely to benefit from immunotherapy. Conclusion 6-CRRGs play a key predictive role for the prognosis of HNSCC patients and can guide physicians in selecting potential responders to prioritise immunotherapy, which could facilitate further research in precision immuno-oncology.

    Abstract: Due to complicated and variable fundus status of highly myopic eyes, their visual benefit from cataract surgery remains hard to be determined preoperatively. We therefore aimed to develop an optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based deep learning algorithms to predict the postoperative visual acuity of highly myopic eyes after cataract surgery. Materials and Methods The internal dataset consisted of 1,415 highly myopic eyes having cataract surgeries in our hospital. Another external dataset consisted of 161 highly myopic eyes from Heping Eye Hospital. Preoperative macular OCT images were set as the only feature. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 4 weeks after surgery was set as the ground truth. Five different deep learning algorithms, namely ResNet-18, ResNet-34, ResNet-50, ResNet-101, and Inception-v3, were used to develop the model aiming at predicting the postoperative BCVA, and an ensemble learning was further developed. The model was further evaluated in the internal and external test datasets. Results The ensemble learning showed the lowest mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.1566 logMAR and the lowest root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.2433 logMAR in the validation dataset. Promising outcomes in the internal and external test datasets were revealed with MAEs of 0.1524 and 0.1602 logMAR and RMSEs of 0.2612 and 0.2020 logMAR, respectively. Considerable sensitivity and precision were achieved in the BCVA & lt; 0.30 logMAR group, with 90.32 and 75.34% in the internal test dataset and 81.75 and 89.60% in the external test dataset, respectively. The percentages of the prediction errors within ± 0.30 logMAR were 89.01% in the internal and 88.82% in the external test dataset. Conclusion Promising prediction outcomes of postoperative BCVA were achieved by the novel OCT-trained deep learning model, which will be helpful for the surgical planning of highly myopic cataract patients.

    Abstract: Resveratrol, a natural polyphenol compound with multiple bioactivities, is widely used in food and pharmaceutical industry. Endophytic fungus Alternaria sp. MG1, as a native producer of resveratrol, shows increasing potential application. However, strategies for improvement of the biosynthesis of resveratrol in this species are still scarce. In this study, different elicitors were used to investigate their effect on the biosynthesis of resveratrol in MG1 and the induction mechanism. Ultrasound and sodium butyrate had no effect and slight inhibition on the resveratrol production and related gene expression, respectively. UV radiation and co-culture with Phomopsis sp. XP-8 significantly promoted the biosynthesis of resveratrol with the highest production (240.57μg/l) coming from UV 20min. Co-culture altered the profiles of secondary metabolites in MG1 by promoting and inhibiting the synthesis of stilbene and lignin compounds, respectively, and generating new flavonoids ((+/−)-taxifolin, naringin, and (+)-catechin). Oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC) also showed an obviously positive influence, leading to an increase in resveratrol production by 10 to 60%. Two calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPK) were identified, of which CDPK1 was found to be an important regulatory factor of OPC induction. Synergistic treatment of UV 20min and 100μm OPC increased the production of resveratrol by 70.37% compared to control and finally reached 276.31μg/l.
