lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

10.2K
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes

10.5K
Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...

Tumor Progression

8.0K
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Area of Science:

  • Computational Biology
  • Cancer Research
  • Algebraic Topology

Background:

  • Cancer gene expression data presents challenges due to high dimensionality.
  • Identifying biologically relevant gene subsets and complex patterns is crucial for understanding cancer biogenesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel method for exploring high-dimensional cancer gene expression data.
  • To identify significant topological features and relevant gene subsets associated with cancer.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing algebraic topology tools to analyze gene expression data.
  • Dualizing high-dimensional data to represent genes as points.
  • Selecting landmark genes to construct topological structures and identify persistent homology features (holes).

Main Results:

  • Successfully identified small, relevant gene subsets from large datasets.
  • Detected nontrivial higher-order topological features (holes) in cancer gene expression data.
  • Demonstrated that identified topological loops contain genes implicated in cancer biogenesis across brain, breast, leukemia, and ovarian cancers.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed algebraic topology method effectively reduces data dimensionality and identifies significant topological patterns.
  • This approach aids in discovering novel insights into cancer gene expression and potential cancer-related genes.
  • The method shows promise for application in various cancer research contexts.
