Prolonged life expectancy in humans has been accompanied by an increase in the prevalence of cancers. Breast cancer (BC) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. It accounts for one-fourth of all diagnosed cancers and affects one in eight females worldwide. Given the high BC prevalence, there is a practical need for demographic screening of the disease. In the present study, we re-analyzed a large microRNA (miRNA) expression dataset (GSE73002), with the goal of optimizing miRNA biomarker selection using neural network cascade (NNC) modeling. Our results identified numerous candidate miRNA biomarkers that are technically suitable for BC detection. We combined three miRNAs (miR-1246, miR-6756-5p, and miR-8073) into a single panel to generate an NNC model, which successfully detected BC with 97.1% accuracy in an independent validation cohort comprising 429 BC patients and 895 healthy controls. In contrast, at least seven miRNAs were merged in a multiple linear regression model to obtain equivalent diagnostic performance (96.4% accuracy in the independent validation set). Our findings suggested that suitable modeling can effectively reduce the number of miRNAs required in a biomarker panel without compromising prediction accuracy, thereby increasing the technical possibility of early detection of BC.

Background: Epigenetic regulation, including DNA methylation, plays a major role in shaping the identity and function of immune cells. Innate and adaptive immune cells recruited into tumor tissues contribute to the formation of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), which is closely involved in tumor progression in breast cancer (BC). However, the specific methylation signatures of immune cells have not been thoroughly investigated yet. Additionally, it remains unknown whether immune cells-specific methylation signatures can identify subgroups and stratify the prognosis of BC patients.Methods: DNA methylation profiles of six immune cell types from eight datasets downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus were collected to identify immune cell-specific hypermethylation signatures (IC-SHMSs). Univariate and multivariate cox regression analyses were performed using BC data obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas to identify the prognostic value of these IC-SHMSs. An unsupervised clustering analysis of the IC-SHMSs with prognostic value was performed to categorize BC patients into subgroups. Multiple Cox proportional hazard models were constructed to explore the role of IC-SHMSs and their relationship to clinical characteristics in the risk stratification of BC patients. Integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) was performed to determine whether the improvement of IC-SHMSs on clinical characteristics in risk stratification was statistically significant.Results: A total of 655 IC-SHMSs of six immune cell types were identified. Thirty of them had prognostic value, and 10 showed independent prognostic value. Four subgroups of BC patients, which showed significant heterogeneity in terms of survival prognosis and immune landscape, were identified. The model incorporating nine IC-SHMSs showed similar survival prediction accuracy as the clinical model incorporating age and TNM stage [3-year area under the curve (AUC): 0.793 vs. 0.785; 5-year AUC: 0.735 vs. 0.761]. Adding the IC-SHMSs to the clinical model significantly improved its prediction accuracy in risk stratification (3-year AUC: 0.897; 5-year AUC: 0.856). The results of IDI validated the statistical significance of the improvement (p < 0.05).Conclusions: Our study suggests that IC-SHMSs may serve as signatures of classification and risk stratification in BC. Our findings provide new insights into epigenetic signatures, which may help improve subgroup identification, risk stratification, and treatment management.

3114 Background: The Response Algorithm for Drug positioning and Rescue (RADR) technology is Lantern Pharma's proprietary Artificial Intelligence (Al)-based machine learning approach for biomarker identification and patient stratification. RADR is a combination of three automated modules working sequentially to generate drug- and tumor type-specific gene signatures predictive of response. Methods: RADR integrates genomics, drug sensitivity and systems biology inputs with supervised machine learning strategies and generates gene expression-based responder/ non-responder profiles for specific tumor indications with high accuracy, in addition to identification of new correlations of genetic biomarkers with drug activity. Pre-treatment patient gene expression profiles along with corresponding treatment outcomes were used as algorithm inputs. Model training was typically performed using an initial set of genes derived from cancer cell line data when available, and further applied to patient data for model tuning, cross-validation and final gene signature development. Model testing and performance computation were carried out on patient records held out as blinded datasets. Response prediction accuracy and sensitivity were among the model performance metrics calculated. Results: On average, RADR achieved a response prediction accuracy of 80% during clinical validation. We present retrospective analyses performed as part of RADR validation using more than 10 independent datasets of patients from selected cancer types treated with approved drugs including chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy agents. For an instance, the application of the RADR program to a Paclitaxel trial in breast cancer patients could have potentially reduced the number of patients in the treatment arm from 92 unselected patients to 24 biomarker-selected patients to produce the same number of responders. Also, we cite published evidence correlating genes from RADR derived biomarkers with increased Paclitaxel sensitivity in breast cancer. Conclusions: The value of RADR platform architecture is derived from its validation through the analysis of about ~17 million oncology-specific clinical data points, and ~1000 patient records. By implementing unique biological, statistical and machine learning workflows, Lantern Pharma's RADR technology is capable of deriving robust biomarker panels for pre-selecting true responders for recruitment into clinical trials which may improve the success rate of oncology drug approvals.
