SummaryThe bleomycin mouse-model is the extensively used model to study pulmonary fibrosis, however, the inflammatory cell kinetics and their compartmentalisation is still incompletely understood. Here we assembled historical flow cytometry data, totalling 303 samples and 16 inflammatory-cell populations, and applied advanced data modelling and machine learning methods to conclusively detail these kinetics.Three days post-bleomycin, the inflammatory profile was typified by acute innate inflammation, pronounced neutrophilia, especially of SiglecF+ neutrophils, and alveolar macrophage loss. Between 14 and 21 days, rapid-responders were increasingly replaced by T and B cells, and monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages. Multi-colour imaging revealed the spatial-temporal cell distribution and the close association of T cells with deposited collagen.Unbiased immunophenotyping and data modelling exposed the dynamic shifts in immune-cell composition over the course of bleomycin-triggered lung injury. These results and workflow provides a reference point for future investigations, and can easily be applied in the analysis of other datasets.

Although most of the cervical cancer cases are reported to be closely related to the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection, there is a need to study genes that stand up differentially in the final actualization of cervical cancers following HPV infection. In this study, we proposed an integrative machine learning approach to analyse multiple gene expression profiles in cervical cancer in order to identify a set of genetic markers that are associated with and may eventually aid in the diagnosis or prognosis of cervical cancers. The proposed integrative analysis is composed of three steps: namely, (i) gene expression analysis of individual dataset; (ii) meta-analysis of multiple datasets; and (iii) feature selection and machine learning analysis. As a result, 21 gene expressions were identified through the integrative machine learning analysis which including seven supervised and one unsupervised methods. A functional analysis with GSEA (Gene Set Enrichment Analysis) was performed on the selected 21-gene expression set and showed significant enrichment in a nine-potential gene expression signature, namely PEG3, SPON1, BTD and RPLP2 (upregulated genes) and PRDX3, COPB2, LSM3, SLC5A3 and AS1B (downregulated genes).
