Identification of energy metabolism-related biomarkers for risk prediction of heart failure patients using random forest algorithm

Abstract

ObjectiveEnergy metabolism plays a crucial role in the improvement of heart dysfunction as well as the development of heart failure (HF). The current study is designed to identify energy metabolism-related diagnostic biomarkers for predicting the risk of HF due to myocardial infarction.MethodsTranscriptome sequencing data of HF patients and non-heart failure (NF) people (GSE66360 and GSE59867) were obtained from gene expression omnibus (GEO) database. Energy metabolism-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened between HF and NF samples. The subtyping consistency analysis was performed to enable the samples to be grouped. The immune infiltration level among subtypes was assessed by single sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA). Random forest algorithm (RF) and support vector machine (SVM) were applied to identify diagnostic biomarkers, and the receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) was plotted to validate the accuracy. Predictive nomogram was constructed and validated based on the result of the RF. Drug screening and gene-miRNA network were analyzed to predict the energy metabolism-related drugs and potential molecular mechanism.ResultsA total of 22 energy metabolism-related DEGs were identified between HF and NF patients. The clustering analysis showed that HF patients could be classified into two subtypes based on the energy metabolism-related genes, and functional analyses demonstrated that the identified DEGs among two clusters were mainly involved in immune response regulating signaling pathway and lipid and atherosclerosis. ssGSEA analysis revealed that there were significant differences in the infiltration levels of immune cells between two subtypes of HF patients. Random-forest and support vector machine algorithm eventually identified ten diagnostic markers (MEF2D, RXRA, PPARA, FOXO1, PPARD, PPP3CB, MAPK14, CREB1, MEF2A, PRMT1) for risk prediction of HF patients, and the proposed nomogram resulted in good predictive performance (GSE66360, AUC = 0.91; GSE59867, AUC = 0.84) and the clinical usefulness in HF patients. More importantly, 10 drugs and 15 miRNA were predicted as drug target and hub miRNA that associated with energy metabolism-related genes, providing further information on clinical HF treatment.ConclusionThis study identified ten energy metabolism-related diagnostic markers using random forest algorithm, which may help optimize risk stratification and clinical treatment in HF patients.

Exploring the mechanism of Tingli Pill in the treatment of HFpEF based on network pharmacology and molecular docking

“…Among them, MAPK1 is a biomarker of heart failure, which is closely related to the occurrence and development of heart failure; [31] MAPK14 is involved in the process of energy metabolism related to heart failure. [32] TP53 is an important tumor suppressor gene in the human body. Transcriptomics studies have found that mice with TP53 gene deletion can partially save myocardial fibrosis, myocardial cell apoptosis, non-muscle cell proliferation, left ventricular dilatation and dysfunction, and can slightly improve the survival rate of dilated cardiomyopathy.…”

Machine learning-based analysis of risk factors for chronic total occlusion in an Asian population

“… 15 A key advantage of RF is its ability to reduce overfitting by extracting a subset of data via sampling, then generating decision trees that are independent of each other and based on small numbers of variables. 16 This approach reduces the cost function; it improves prediction results by majority voting and evaluating the importance of independent variables. In an RF model, each decision tree represents a class prediction; the class choice made by the greatest proportion of trees reflects the model’s prediction.…”

A novel FCTF evaluation and prediction model for food efficacy based on association rule mining

“…Information entropy and weight (%) analysis of the above evaluation parameters based on the EWM was performed, and the performance of each target was ranked according to the distance from positive ideal solution, distance from negative ideal solution and the composite score index by the TOPSIS algorithm ( 37 ). SVM and RF machine learning algorithms were constructed using the DALEX R package for bidirectional targets, and the diagnostic performance of both models was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and associated area under the curve (AUC) ( 38 ).…”
