    Abstract Background: As the RNA secondary structure is highly related to its stability and functions, the structure prediction is of great value to biological research. The traditional computational prediction for RNA secondary prediction is mainly based on the thermodynamic model with dynamic programming to find the optimal structure. However, the prediction performance based on the traditional approach is unsatisfactory for further research. Besides, the computational complexity of the structure prediction using dynamic programming is [Formula: see text]; it becomes [Formula: see text] for RNA structure with pseudoknots, which is computationally impractical for large-scale analysis.
    Results: In this paper, we propose REDfold, a novel deep learning-based method for RNA secondary prediction. REDfold utilizes an encoder-decoder network based on CNN to learn the short and long range dependencies among the RNA sequence, and the network is further integrated with symmetric skip connections to efficiently propagate activation information across layers. Moreover, the network output is post-processed with constrained optimization to yield favorable predictions even for RNAs with pseudoknots. Experimental results based on the ncRNA database demonstrate that REDfold achieves better performance in terms of efficiency and accuracy, outperforming the contemporary state-of-the-art methods.

    Abstract Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a new class of small, non-coding RNAs, crucial in the regulation of gene expression. Recent research has revealed links between piRNAs, viral defense mechanisms, and certain human cancers. Due to their clinical potential, there is a great interest in identifying piRNAs from large genome databases through efficient computational methods. However, piRNAs lack conserved structure and sequence homology across species, which makes piRNA detection challenging. Current detection algorithms heavily rely on manually crafted features, which may overlook or improperly use certain features. Furthermore, there is a lack of suitable computational tools for analyzing large-scale databases and accurately identifying piRNAs. To address these issues, we propose LSTM4piRNA, a highly efficient deep learning-based method for predicting piRNAs in large-scale genome databases. LSTM4piRNA utilizes a compact LSTM network that can effectively analyze RNA sequences from extensive datasets to detect piRNAs. It can automatically learn the dependencies among RNA sequences, and regularization is further integrated to reduce the generalization error. Comprehensive performance evaluations based on piRNAs from the piRBase database demonstrate that LSTM4piRNA outperforms current advanced methods and is well-suited for analysis with large-scale databases.

The traditional computational prediction for RNA secondary prediction is mainly based on the thermodynamic model with dynamic programming to find the optimal structure. However, the prediction performance based on the traditional approach is unsatisfactory for further research. Besides, the computational complexity of the structure prediction using dynamic programming is $$O(N^3)$$ O ( N 3 )

    it becomes $$O(N^6)$$ O ( N 6 ) for RNA structure with pseudoknots, which is computationally impractical for large-scale analysis.

  5. Article ; Online: Supervised Learning and Multi-Omics Integration Reveals Clinical Significance of Inner Membrane Mitochondrial Protein (IMMT) in Prognostic Prediction, Tumor Immune Microenvironment and Precision Medicine for Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma.

    Abstract Kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) accounts for approximately 75% of all renal cancers. The prognosis for patients with metastatic KIRC is poor, with less than 10% surviving five years after diagnosis. Inner membrane mitochondrial protein (IMMT) plays a crucial role in shaping the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM), regulation of metabolism and innate immunity. However, the clinical relevance of IMMT in KIRC is not yet fully understood, and its role in shaping the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of IMMT in KIRC using a combination of supervised learning and multi-omics integration. The supervised learning principle was applied to analyze a TCGA dataset, which was downloaded and split into training and test datasets. The training dataset was used to train the prediction model, while the test and the entire TCGA dataset were used to evaluate its performance. Based on the risk score, the cutoff between the low and high IMMT group was set at median value. A Kaplan-Meier curve, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, principal component analysis (PCA) and Spearman's correlation were conducted to evaluate the prediction ability of the model. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was used to investigate the critical biological pathways. Immunogenicity, immunological landscape and single-cell analysis were performed to examine the TIME. Databases including Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), Human Protein Atlas (HPA) and Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) were employed for inter-database verification. Pharmacogenetic prediction was analyzed via single-guide RNA (sgRNA)-based drug sensitivity screening using Q-omics v.1.30. Low expressions of IMMT in tumor predicted dismal prognosis in KIRC patients and correlated with KIRC progression. GSEA revealed that low expressions of IMMT were implicated in mitochondrial inhibition and angiogenetic activation. In addition, low IMMT expressions had associations with reduced immunogenicity and an immunosuppressive TIME. Inter-database verification corroborated the correlation between low IMMT expressions, KIRC tumors and the immunosuppressive TIME. Pharmacogenetic prediction identified lestaurtinib as a potent drug for KIRC in the context of low IMMT expressions. This study highlights the potential of IMMT as a novel biomarker, prognostic predictor and pharmacogenetic predictor to inform the development of more personalized and effective cancer treatments. Additionally, it provides important insights into the role of IMMT in the mechanism underlying mitochondrial activity and angiogenesis development in KIRC, which suggests IMMT as a promising target for the development of new therapies.

    Abstract Living in the global-changing era, intelligent and eco-friendly electronic components that can sense the environment and recycle or reprogram when needed are essential for sustainable development. Compared with solid-state electronics, composite hydrogels with multi-functionalities are promising candidates. By bridging the self-assembly of azobenzene-containing supramolecular complexes and MXene nanosheets, we fabricate a MXene-based composite gel, namely MXenegel, with reversible photo-modulated phase behavior. The MXenegel can undergo reversible liquefication and solidification under UV and visible light irradiations, respectively, while maintaining its conductive nature unchanged, which can be integrated into traditional solid-state circuits. The strategy presented in this work provides an example of light-responsive conducting material via supramolecular bridging and demonstrates an exciting platform for functional soft electronics.

    Abstract TOPAS (TOPological network-based Alignment of Structural RNAs) is a network-based alignment algorithm that predicts structurally sound pairwise alignment of RNAs. In order to take advantage of recent advances in comparative network analysis for efficient structurally sound RNA alignment, TOPAS constructs topological network representations for RNAs, which consist of sequential edges connecting nucleotide bases as well as structural edges reflecting the underlying folding structure. Structural edges are weighted by the estimated base-pairing probabilities. Next, the constructed networks are aligned using probabilistic network alignment techniques, which yield a structurally sound RNA alignment that considers both the sequence similarity and the structural similarity between the given RNAs. Compared to traditional Sankoff-style algorithms, this network-based alignment scheme leads to a significant reduction in the overall computational cost while yielding favorable alignment results. Another important benefit is its capability to handle arbitrary folding structures, which can potentially lead to more accurate alignment for RNAs with pseudoknots.
