Analysis Methods of Pharmacokinetic Data: Model and Model-Independent Approaches

Drug disposition in the body is a complex process and can be studied using two major approaches: the model and the model-independent approaches.
The model approach uses mathematical models to describe changes in drug concentration over time. Pharmacokinetic models help characterize drug behavior in patients, predict drug concentration in the body fluids, calculate optimum dosage regimens, and evaluate the risk of toxicity. However, ensuring that the model fits the experimental data accurately...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

Sequencing of the human genome has opened up several best-kept secrets of the genome. Scientists have identified thousands of genome variations that exist within a population. These variations can be a single nucleotide or a larger chromosomal variation.
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...

Pharmacokinetic Models: Comparison and Selection Criterion

Physiological and compartmental models are valuable tools used in studying biological systems. These models rely on differential equations to maintain mass balance within the system, ensuring an accurate representation of the dynamic processes at play.
Physiological models take a detailed approach by considering specific molecular processes. They can predict drug distribution, metabolism, and elimination changes, providing a comprehensive understanding of how drugs interact with the body.

Area of Science:

  • Epigenetics and Genomics
  • Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
  • Statistical Modeling in Biology

Background:

  • Empirical Bayes models are used for differential DNA methylation analysis via high-density oligonucleotide tiling arrays.
  • The performance comparison of different statistical distribution assumptions within these models remains unclear.
  • Understanding which model best identifies differentially methylated regions, particularly those with functional significance like transcription factor-binding sites (TFBSs), is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the performance of five empirical Bayes models with gamma or log-normal distribution assumptions for differential DNA methylation analysis.
  • To identify differential methylated loci and their patterns dependent on cell division and drug treatment.
  • To assess the enrichment of transcription factor-binding sites (TFBSs) in differentially methylated regions identified by different models.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of five empirical Bayes models based on gamma or log-normal distributions.
  • Application of models to identify differential methylation patterns related to cell division (1, 3, 5) and cisplatin treatment.
  • Analysis of TFBS enrichment in identified differentially methylated regions.

Main Results:

  • Log-normal distribution models showed significant enrichment of TFBSs in differential methylation patterns.
  • Gamma distribution models yielded minimal TFBS enrichment.
  • Statistical and biological evidence supports log-normal models as more accurate and precise for microarray analysis.

Conclusions:

  • Log-normal empirical Bayes models are superior to gamma models for differential DNA methylation analysis using microarrays.
  • The chosen log-normal model demonstrates reproducibility through simulation studies.
  • This study provides the first extensive comparison of statistical modeling for differential DNA methylation analysis, crucial for gene transcription regulation.
