Establishment of a Lung Cancer Discriminative Model Based on an Optimized Support Vector Machine Algorithm and Study...

An optimized support vector machine model was used to construct a lung cancer diagnosis model based on serological indicators, and a molecular regulation model of Wogonin, a component of Scutellaria baicalensis, was established. Serological indexes of patients were collected, the grid search method was used to identify the optimal penalty coefficient C and parameter g of the support vector machine model, and the benign and malignant auxiliary diagnosis model of isolated pulmonary nodules based on serological indicators was established. The regulatory network and key targets of Wogonin in lung cancer were analyzed by network pharmacology, and key targets were detected by western blot. The relationship between serological susceptibility genes and key targets of Wogonin was established, and the signaling pathway of Wogonin regulating lung cancer was constructed. After support vector machine parameter optimization (C = 90.597, g = 32), the accuracy of the model was 90.8333%, with nine false positives and two false negative cases. Ontology functional analysis of 67 common genes between Wogonin targets and lung cancer-related genes showed that the targets were associated with biological processes involved in peptidye-serine modification and regulation of protein kinase B signaling; cell components in the membrane raft and chromosomal region; and molecular function in protein serine/threonine kinase activity and heme binding. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis showed that the regulation pathways involved the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, ERBB signaling pathway, and EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance. In vitro analyses using lung cancer cells showed that Wogonin led to significantly increased levels of cleaved caspase-3 and Bad and significantly decreased Bcl-2 expression in a concentration-dependent manner. ErbB4 expression also significantly decreased in lung cancer cells after treatment with Wogonin. A regulatory network of Wogonin regulating lung cancer cell apoptosis was constructed, including the participation of serological susceptibility genes. There is a certain regulatory effect between the serological indexes that can be used in the diagnosis of lung cancer and the key targets of Chinese herbal medicine treatment of lung cancer, which provides a new idea for the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of clinical lung cancer.
