    Abstract Triggering ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of cell death, has recently emerged as an approach for treating cancer. A better understanding of the role and regulation of ferroptosis is needed to realize the potential of this therapeutic strategy. Here, we observed extensive activation of ferroptosis in hepatoma cells and human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases. Patients with low to moderate activation of ferroptosis in tumors had the highest risk of recurrence compared to patients with no or high ferroptosis. Upon encountering ferroptotic liver cancer cells, aggregated macrophages efficiently secreted proinflammatory IL1β to trigger neutrophil-mediated sinusoidal vascular remodeling, thereby creating favorable conditions for aggressive tumor growth and lung metastasis. Mechanistically, hyaluronan fragments released by cancer cells acted via an NF-κB-dependent pathway to upregulate IL1β precursors and the NLRP3 inflammasome in macrophages, and oxidized phospholipids secreted by ferroptotic cells activated the NLRP3 inflammasome to release functional IL1β. Depleting either macrophages or neutrophils or neutralizing IL1β in vivo effectively abrogated ferroptosis-mediated liver cancer growth and lung metastasis. More importantly, the ferroptosis-elicited inflammatory cellular network served as a negative feedback mechanism that led to therapeutic resistance to sorafenib in HCC. Targeting the ferroptosis-induced inflammatory axis significantly improved the therapeutic efficacy of sorafenib in vivo. Together, this study identified a role for ferroptosis in promoting HCC by triggering a macrophage/IL1β/neutrophil/vasculature axis.
    Significance: Ferroptosis induces a favorable tumor microenvironment and supports liver cancer progression by stimulating an inflammatory cellular network that can be targeted to suppress metastasis and improve the efficacy of sorafenib.

    Abstract Effective cultivation of stable aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is a crucial step in the successful application of this technology, and the formation of AGS could be facilitated by some environmental stress conditions. Four identical sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) were established to investigate the aerobic granulation process under the same alternating ammonia nitrogen feeding strategy superimposed with different environmental conditions (inorganic carbon source, temperature, N/COD). Although various superimposed conditions induced a significant difference in the size, settling velocity, mechanic strength of AGS, mature aerobic granules could be successfully obtained in all four reactors after 70 days' operation, indicating the alternating ammonia nitrogen feeding strategy was the most critical factor for AGS formation. Based on the results of redundancy analysis, the presence of an inorganic carbon source could facilitate the cultivation of AGS with nitrification function, while the moderate temperature and fluctuant N/COD might benefit the cultivation of more stable AGS. In addition, superimposed stress conditions could result in the difference in the microbial population between four reactors, but the population diversity and abundance of microorganisms were not the determinants of AGS formation. This study provided an effective method for the cultivation of AGS by using alternating ammonia nitrogen feeding strategy.

    Abstract Most existing point cloud completion methods suffer from the discrete nature of point clouds and the unstructured prediction of points in local regions, which makes it difficult to reveal fine local geometric details. To resolve this issue, we propose SnowflakeNet with snowflake point deconvolution (SPD) to generate complete point clouds. SPD models the generation of point clouds as the snowflake-like growth of points, where child points are generated progressively by splitting their parent points after each SPD. Our insight into the detailed geometry is to introduce a skip-transformer in the SPD to learn the point splitting patterns that can best fit the local regions. The skip-transformer leverages attention mechanism to summarize the splitting patterns used in the previous SPD layer to produce the splitting in the current layer. The locally compact and structured point clouds generated by SPD precisely reveal the structural characteristics of the 3D shape in local patches, which enables us to predict highly detailed geometries. Moreover, since SPD is a general operation that is not limited to completion, we explore its applications in other generative tasks, including point cloud auto-encoding, generation, single image reconstruction, and upsampling. Our experimental results outperform state-of-the-art methods under widely used benchmarks.

    Abstract Clinical outcome prediction is important for stratified therapeutics. Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) methods facilitate therapeutic response prediction from transcriptomic profiles of cells and clinical samples. Clinical transcriptomic DL is challenged by the low-sample sizes (34-286 subjects), high-dimensionality (up to 21,653 genes) and unordered nature of clinical transcriptomic data. The established methods rely on ML algorithms at accuracy levels of 0.6-0.8 AUC/ACC values. Low-sample DL algorithms are needed for enhanced prediction capability. Here, an unsupervised manifold-guided algorithm was employed for restructuring transcriptomic data into ordered image-like 2D-representations, followed by efficient DL of these 2D-representations with deep ConvNets. Our DL models significantly outperformed the state-of-the-art (SOTA) ML models on 82% of 17 low-sample benchmark datasets (53% with >0.05 AUC/ACC improvement). They are more robust than the SOTA models in cross-cohort prediction tasks, and in identifying robust biomarkers and response-dependent variational patterns consistent with experimental indications.

    Abstract Medical imaging plays a significant role in clinical practice of medical diagnosis, where the text reports of the images are essential in understanding them and facilitating later treatments. By generating the reports automatically, it is beneficial to help lighten the burden of radiologists and significantly promote clinical automation, which already attracts much attention in applying artificial intelligence to medical domain. Previous studies mainly follow the encoder-decoder paradigm and focus on the aspect of text generation, with few studies considering the importance of cross-modal mappings and explicitly exploit such mappings to facilitate radiology report generation. In this paper, we propose a cross-modal memory networks (CMN) to enhance the encoder-decoder framework for radiology report generation, where a shared memory is designed to record the alignment between images and texts so as to facilitate the interaction and generation across modalities. Experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of our proposed model, where state-of-the-art performance is achieved on two widely used benchmark datasets, i.e., IU X-Ray and MIMIC-CXR. Further analyses also prove that our model is able to better align information from radiology images and texts so as to help generating more accurate reports in terms of clinical indicators.

    Abstract Metagenomic analysis has been explored for disease diagnosis and biomarker discovery. Low sample sizes, high dimensionality, and sparsity of metagenomic data challenge metagenomic investigations. Here, an unsupervised microbial embedding, grouping, and mapping algorithm (MEGMA) was developed to transform metagenomic data into individualized multichannel microbiome 2D representation by manifold learning and clustering of microbial profiles (e.g., composition, abundance, hierarchy, and taxonomy). These 2D representations enable enhanced disease prediction by established ConvNet-based AggMapNet models, outperforming the commonly used machine learning and deep learning models in metagenomic benchmark datasets. These 2D representations combined with AggMapNet explainable module robustly identified more reliable and replicable disease-prediction microbes (biomarkers). Employing the MEGMA-AggMapNet pipeline for biomarker identification from 5 disease datasets, 84% of the identified biomarkers have been described in over 74 distinct works as important for these diseases. Moreover, the method also discovered highly consistent sets of biomarkers in cross-cohort colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and microbial shifts in different CRC stages.
