摘要
En 中文
Identification of intracellular pathways that play key roles in cancer progression and drug resistance is a prerequisite for developing targeted cancer treatments. The era of personalized medicine calls for computational methods that can function with one sample or a very small set of samples. Developing such methods is challenging because standard statistical approaches pose several limiting assumptions, such as number of samples, that prevent their application when n approaches to one. We have developed a novel pathway analysis method called PerPAS to estimate pathway activity at a single sample level by integrating pathway topology and transcriptomics data. In addition, PerPAS is able to identify altered pathways between cancer and control samples as well as to identify key nodes that contribute to the pathway activity. In our case study using breast cancer data, we show that PerPAS can identify highly altered pathways that are associated with patient survival. PerPAS identified four pathways that were associated with patient survival and were successfully validated in three independent breast cancer cohorts. In comparison to two other pathway analysis methods that function at a single sample level, PerPAS had superior performance in both synthetic and breast cancer expression datasets. PerPAS is a free R package (http://csbi.ltdk.helsinki.fi/pub/czliu/perpas/).
