    Abstract Objective: The degree of sexual dimorphism in certain traits between males and females differ from one sample to another. Although trait differences by sex are often reported in bioanthropological research, few studies test for statistical significance or make raw data available. TestDimorph is the first R package dedicated to testing and comparing the degree of sexual dimorphism among different samples by leveraging summary statistics.
    Materials and methods: We provide two approaches of analysis of inter-sample differences in degree of sexual dimorphism: univariate and multivariate for two or more samples. The methods follow upon publications primarily from the AJBA. Within-sex size variability between samples is compared using one-way ANOVA followed by control for multiple pairwise comparisons. In addition, we compute the overlapping area between the density functions of two normal distributions from the mixture intersection index or the non-overlapping area using the dissimilarity index as well as Hedges' g with inferential support using the 95% confidence interval. Finally, we use a multivariate analysis of differences in patterning of sexual dimorphism between samples.
    Results: We demonstrate various results from applying TestDimorph functions to data supplied with the package.
    Discussion: The package has many features including functionality for working with summary statistics, simulating data from summary statistics, and the extraction of summary statistics from raw data, so that the entire analysis can be performed through the package.

    Abstract Epigenetic modifications are emerging as important regulatory mechanisms of gene expression in lung disease, given that they are influenced by environmental exposures and genetic variants, and that they regulate immune and fibrotic processes. In this review, we introduce these concepts with a focus on the study of DNA methylation and histone modifications and discuss how they have been applied to lung disease, and how they can be applied to sarcoidosis. This information has implications for other exposure and immunologically mediated lung diseases, such as chronic beryllium disease, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and asbestosis.

    Abstract Aging, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and antiretroviral therapy modify the epigenetic profile and function of cells and tissues, including skeletal muscle (SkM). In some cells, accelerated epigenetic aging begins very soon after the initial HIV infection, potentially setting the stage for the early onset of frailty. Exercise imparts epigenetic modifications in SkM that may underpin some health benefits, including delayed frailty, in people living with HIV (PWH). In this first report of exercise-related changes in SkM DNA methylation among PWH, we investigated the impact of 24 weeks of aerobic and resistance exercise training on SkM (vastus lateralis) DNA methylation profiles and epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) in older, virally suppressed PWH (n = 12) and uninfected controls (n = 18), and associations of EAA with physical function at baseline. We identified 983 differentially methylated positions (DMPs) in PWH and controls at baseline and 237 DMPs after training. The influence of HIV serostatus on SkM methylation was more pronounced than that of exercise training. There was little overlap in the genes associated with the probes most significantly differentiated by exercise training within each group. Baseline EAA (mean ± SD) was similar between PWH (-0.4 ± 2.5 years) and controls (0.2 ± 2.6 years), and the exercise effect was not significant (p = 0.79). EAA and physical function at baseline were not significantly correlated (all p ≥ 0.10). This preliminary investigation suggests HIV-specific epigenetic adaptations in SkM with exercise training but confirmation in a larger study that includes transcriptomic analysis is warranted.

    Abstract Background: Studies have identified individual blood biomarkers associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and related phenotypes. However, complex diseases such as COPD typically involve changes in multiple molecules with interconnections that may not be captured when considering single molecular features.
    Methods: Leveraging proteomic data from 3,173 COPDGene Non-Hispanic White (NHW) and African American (AA) participants, we applied sparse multiple canonical correlation network analysis (SmCCNet) to 4,776 proteins assayed on the SomaScan v4.0 platform to derive sparse networks of proteins associated with current vs. former smoking status, airflow obstruction, and emphysema quantitated from high-resolution computed tomography scans. We then used NetSHy, a dimension reduction technique leveraging network topology, to produce summary scores of each proteomic network, referred to as NetSHy scores. We next performed genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify variants associated with the NetSHy scores, or network quantitative trait loci (nQTLs). Finally, we evaluated the replicability of the networks in an independent cohort, SPIROMICS.
    Results: We identified networks of 13 to 104 proteins for each phenotype and exposure in NHW and AA, and the derived NetSHy scores significantly associated with the variable of interests. Networks included known (sRAGE, ALPP, MIP1) and novel molecules (CA10, CPB1, HIS3, PXDN) and interactions involved in COPD pathogenesis. We observed 7 nQTL loci associated with NetSHy scores, 4 of which remained after conditional analysis. Networks for smoking status and emphysema, but not airflow obstruction, demonstrated a high degree of replicability across race groups and cohorts.
    Conclusions: In this work, we apply state-of-the-art molecular network generation and summarization approaches to proteomic data from COPDGene participants to uncover protein networks associated with COPD phenotypes. We further identify genetic associations with networks. This work discovers protein networks containing known and novel proteins and protein interactions associated with clinically relevant COPD phenotypes across race groups and cohorts.

    Abstract Introduction: Sarcoidosis is a heterogeneous, granulomatous disease that can prove difficult to diagnose, with no accurate biomarkers of disease progression. Therefore, we profiled and integrated the DNA methylome, mRNAs, and microRNAs to identify molecular changes associated with sarcoidosis and disease progression that might illuminate underlying mechanisms of disease and potential genomic biomarkers.
    Methods: Bronchoalveolar lavage cells from 64 sarcoidosis subjects and 16 healthy controls were used. DNA methylation was profiled on Illumina HumanMethylationEPIC arrays, mRNA by RNA-sequencing, and miRNAs by small RNA-sequencing. Linear models were fit to test for effect of diagnosis and phenotype, adjusting for age, sex, and smoking. We built a supervised multi-omics model using a subset of features from each dataset.
    Results: We identified 46,812 CpGs, 1,842 mRNAs, and 5 miRNAs associated with sarcoidosis versus controls and 1 mRNA,
    Conclusions: Leveraging the DNA methylome, transcriptome, and miRNA-sequencing in sarcoidosis BAL cells, we detected widespread molecular changes associated with disease, many which are involved in immune response. These molecules may serve as diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers and/or drug targets, although future testing will be required for confirmation.

    Abstract: ... Availability: This package is available in both CRAN: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/SmCCNet/index ...

    Abstract Summary: Sparse multiple canonical correlation network analysis (SmCCNet) is a machine learning technique for integrating omics data along with a variable of interest (e.g., phenotype of complex disease), and reconstructing multi-omics networks that are specific to this variable. We present the second-generation SmCCNet (SmCCNet 2.0) that adeptly integrates single or multiple omics data types along with a quantitative or binary phenotype of interest. In addition, this new package offers a streamlined setup process that can be configured manually or automatically, ensuring a flexible and user-friendly experience.
    Availability: This package is available in both CRAN: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/SmCCNet/index.html and Github: https://github.com/KechrisLab/SmCCNet under the MIT license. The network visualization tool is available at https://smccnet.shinyapps.io/smccnetnetwork/.
