Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to bioinformatics and biomedicine, specifically to a prognostic prediction model for immunotherapy in lung cancer patients based on metabolomics. Background Technology

[0002] Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death. Tumor immunotherapy works by activating the body's immune system to fight tumors. In recent years, the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has begun to change the status quo where chemotherapy was the primary first-line treatment for patients with driver gene-negative advanced lung cancer; however, only a small percentage of patients benefit from it. Most patients develop primary or acquired resistance to ICIs. Considering the high cost and side effects of immunotherapy, effective prediction of immunotherapy efficacy can help identify immunotherapy-sensitive and tolerant groups in a timely manner, reducing unnecessary medical expenses and adverse drug events. Currently, there is a lack of universally recognized and effective predictive indicators or tools for the prognosis of immunotherapy in clinical applications. Some studies suggest that PD-L1, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) may be prognostic indicators for lung cancer patients receiving ICI treatment, but their predictive efficacy and stability remain limited (Kiriu T, Yamamoto M, Nagano T, et al. The time-series behavior of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is useful as a predictive marker in non-small cell lung cancer[J]. PLoS One, 2018, 13(2)e0193018.). Therefore, finding biomarkers that can predict the prognosis of ICI treatment is of great significance for patient screening. At the same time, studies have found that the combined application of biomarkers is more helpful in predicting the effect of immunotherapy.

[0003] Metabolomics is an important component of systems biology, capable of detecting the state and changes of organisms at corresponding levels, similar to genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics. As an emerging discipline in recent years, metabolomics fills the gap in other omics studies regarding small molecules at the final stage of biological reactions. Compared to changes at the gene, transcription, and protein levels, changes at the metabolic level are considered the final response of biological systems to biological events. Currently, metabolomics technology is widely used in various diseases, including eye diseases, endocrine diseases, and gastrointestinal diseases (Laíns I, M Gantner, S Murinello, et al. Metabolomics in the study of retinal health and disease. Prog Retin Eye Res, 2019, 69:57-79.). Especially in malignant tumors, a leading cause of death in clinical practice, metabolomics research in this field is constantly advancing and making breakthroughs, thanks to the continuous development of metabolomics, the gradual improvement of experimental equipment, the increasing maturity of experimental techniques, and its increasing application in clinical research. Currently, metabolomics has played a significant role in various malignant tumors, including colorectal cancer, bladder cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, and other malignant tumors (Pasikanti KK, KEsuvaranathan, YHong, et al. Urinary metabotyping of bladder cancer using two-dimensional gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry. J Proteome Res, 2013, 12(9): 3865-3873.; Qiu Y, G Cai, B Zhou, et al. A distinct metabolic signature of human colorectal cancer with prognostic potential. Clin Cancer Res, 2014, 20(8): 2136-2146.).

[0004] As a major subtype of cancer, lung cancer has consistently high incidence and mortality rates. Therefore, metabolomics-based methods are needed to predict the occurrence, development, and prognosis of lung cancer. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application conducted metabolomics analysis on peripheral blood of lung cancer patients and found that a prognostic prediction model based on a combination of 17 differentially expressed metabolites could accurately predict the prognosis of lung cancer patients undergoing immunotherapy.

[0032] Furthermore, the data conversion is preferably performed using the sigmoid function, which converts the output number into a value between 0 and 1.

[0033] Furthermore, the data optimization preferably uses the Adam function as the optimizer, with a learning rate set to 0.01.

[0034] Thirdly, the present invention provides a system for predicting progression-free survival in patients undergoing immunotherapy for lung cancer, the system comprising a data input module, a data analysis and processing module, a progression-free survival prediction module, and an output module;

[0035] The data input module refers to acquiring and inputting data, and the data acquisition refers to the expression levels of 17 specific metabolites in lung cancer patients.

[0036] The data analysis and processing module is divided into data preprocessing, data standardization, and data fitting;

[0041] Furthermore, the batch training preferably uses 10-100 data points per training session, and more preferably 65-85 data points per session.

[0042] Furthermore, in the data analysis and processing module, the data fitting is preferably verified using an early stopping function, and training is automatically terminated when the model performance improvement is not significant.

[0043] Furthermore, the data analysis and processing module includes data fitting processes such as activation, normalization, weighting, transformation, and optimization.

[0044] Furthermore, the data activation is preferably performed using the ReLU function and / or the sigmoid function.

[0045] Furthermore, the data normalization refers to subtracting the mean of the data and dividing by the standard deviation.

[0046] Furthermore, the weighting includes linear layer weighting of 17×8 nodes, linear layer weighting of 8×8 nodes, and linear layer weighting of 8×1 nodes.

[0069] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below. It should be noted that these descriptions are for the purpose of aiding understanding the present invention, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the embodiments described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0070] Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the following embodiments are conventional methods, and the experimental materials used in the following embodiments are all available through conventional commercial channels.

[0071] the term

[0072] Progression-free survival (PFS): The time from the start of randomization to the occurrence of tumor progression (in any aspect) or death (from any cause). PFS includes death and better reflects the toxic effects of the drug.

[0073] Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) work by blocking the binding of immune checkpoints to their ligands, thereby relieving the immunosuppression caused by immune checkpoints and reactivating immune cells to exert their anti-tumor effects. Several ICIs have already achieved significant success in clinical applications for anti-tumor treatment, representing a breakthrough in the field.

[0074] Example 1 Case Selection

[0075] In this invention, a total of 94 lung cancer patients who regularly received immunotherapy were enrolled (as shown in Table 4). After follow-up, 53 patients had a better prognosis with a progression-free survival (PFS) > 6 months, while 41 patients had a poorer prognosis with a PFS < 6 months. Metabolomics analysis was performed on the peripheral blood of these 94 patients to understand the differences in metabolite expression characteristics among patients with different prognoses during immunotherapy for lung cancer, and the relationship between metabolite expression and the prognosis of lung cancer immunotherapy.

[0076] Table 4. Information on lung cancer patients included

[0077]

[0078]

[0079] Unbiased detection of small molecule metabolites in peripheral blood was performed using non-targeted metabolomics techniques such as LC-MS, GC-MS, and NMR. Differentially expressed metabolites were screened using bioinformatics analysis, and pathway analysis was conducted on these differentially expressed metabolites. In 94 samples, differentially expressed metabolites were screened based on a fold change of more than 1.5 times (upregulation greater than 1.5 times or downregulation less than 0.67 times) and a P-value < 0.05. Among these, 73 metabolites showed significant changes in expression levels between the PFS > 6 months and PFS < 6 months groups.

[0080] Further lasso regression statistical analysis was used to screen out 17 differentially expressed metabolites that were closely related to the efficacy outcome. These 17 differentially expressed metabolites are: Com_56_neg, Com_513_pos, Com_327_pos, Com_527_pos, Com_206_neg, Com_521_pos, Com_176_neg, Com_383_pos, Com_95_neg, Com_520_pos, Com_22_neg, Com_416_pos, Com_241_neg, Com_427_pos, Com_167_neg, Com_117_neg, and Com_367_pos.

[0081] Example 2: Constructing a predictive model for the efficacy of immunotherapy in lung cancer patients based on 17 differentially expressed metabolites.

[0082] Overfitting is avoided by using batch training (65 data points per batch) and batch standardization (automatically calculating the mean and standard deviation of the batch, subtracting the mean, and then dividing by the standard deviation). An early stopping function is used for checking, and training is automatically terminated when the model performance improvement is not significant. Dropout is also used to avoid overfitting; it randomly silences a portion of neurons during training to prevent some neurons from having excessively high prediction weights.

[0083] The model building process is as follows:

[0084] 1. The user inputs the expression levels of 17 differentially expressed metabolites of the patient, namely: Com_56_neg, Com_513_pos, Com_327_pos, Com_527_pos, Com_206_neg, Com_521_pos, Com_176_neg, Com_383_pos, Com_95_neg, Com_520_pos, Com_22_neg, Com_416_pos, Com_241_neg, Com_427_pos, Com_167_neg, Com_117_neg, and Com_367_pos;

[0085] 2. Metabolite expression levels are used as nodes in the input layer. The initial input is a 17x8 node linear layer. The prediction system's neural network has a total of 8 layers. The prediction system activates the input data using the ReLU function. Batch training, batch standardization, and a 30% dropout are performed to help improve model performance.

[0086] 3. After multiple rounds of training, the early stopping function automatically ends the training, and the training curve is saved in Supplement Figure 1.

[0087] The 17×8 node linear layer weighting can be selected from the following:

[0088] Table 1.17×8 node linear layer weighting values

[0089]

[0090]

[0091] Preferably, the linear layer weighting of the 8×8 nodes can be selected from the following:

[0092] Table 2.8×8 node linear layer weighting values

[0093]

[0094] Preferably, the linear layer weighting of the 8×1 nodes can be selected from the following:

[0095] Table 3.8×1 node linear layer weighting values

[0096]

[0097] Example 3: PD-L1 Expression Status and Survival Prognosis in Tumor Patients

[0098] Meanwhile, the expression status of PD-L1 in tumor tissues and the prognostic outcomes of survival were analyzed in 94 patients.

[0099] like Figure 2 As shown, the training set AUC for predicting the prognosis of immunotherapy patients using patient PD-L1 expression status was 0.7632, and the validation set AUC was 0.4687.

[0100] Example 4: Predictive Models for 17 Differential Metabolites in Cancer Patients and Survival Prognosis

[0101] like Figure 3 As shown, the prediction model training set AUC: 0.9497, sensitivity: 0.9231, specificity: 0.8846, accuracy: 0.9077, NPV: 0.8846, PPV: 0.9231;

[0102] Validation set AUC: 0.8810, sensitivity: 0.9286, specificity: 0.7333, accuracy: 0.8276, NPV: 0.9167, PPV: 0.7647.

[0103] The model outputs a probability value P, with 0.5 as the cut-off value. A probability value greater than 0.5 will output "yes" (expected progression-free survival greater than 6 months), and a probability value less than 0.5 will output "no" (expected progression-free survival less than 6 months). The closer the probability value is to 1, the greater the probability that the patient's predicted progression-free survival will exceed 6 months, and the closer the probability value is to 0, the smaller the probability that the patient's predicted progression-free survival will exceed 6 months.

[0104] It is evident that the immunotherapy prognosis prediction model constructed based on metabolomics results in this application is significantly more effective than the current reference index PD-L1 in clinical applications.
