Abstract (Expand)

Methylation impairments are tightly associated with gene expression and molecular pathway deregulation in cancer development. However, other regulatory mechanisms exist, making it important to distinguish those from methylation driven changes. Here we specifically assessed molecular pathway states associated with gene methylation in lung adenocarcinoma. Paired gene expression and methylation data (id:GSE32867) were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus. Self organizing maps (Wirth, H. et al.BMC Bioinformatics 2011;12:306 ) and in-house pathway signal flow algorithms were applied to describe expression (PSF) and methylation (mPSF) states in KEGG pathways. 35 and 24 KEGG pathways had at least one branch deregulated at significance levels p<0.05 and 0.05<p < 0.1, respectively. Because many pathways are multibranch, our analysis totalled in 54 up- (PSF>1) and 73 down-regulated (PSF<1) branches. From these branches, 19 were positively (mPSF<0) or negatively (mPSF>0) correlated with methylation states (see table).

Abstract (Expand)

This study is aimed at investigating lung diseases described by common pathomechanisms based on evaluation of gene expression profiles in molecular pathways. 16 datasets containing 428 samples for 22 health conditions were taken from Gene Expression Omnibus. Self organizing maps (Wirth, H. et al.BMC Bioinformatics 2011;12:306) and cluster analysis with dynamic tree cut were used for gene expression based disease clustering. In-house pathway signal flow algorithm and phylogenetic analysis were applied to find common pathway deregulation patterns in clusters. Analysis resulted in grouping the 22 conditions into 5 clusters (fig.1). PSF and phylogenetic analysis identified unique pathway deregulation patterns for each cluster (fig.2).
