iTAGPred: A Two-Level Prediction Model for Identification of Angiogenesis and Tumor Angiogenesis Biomarkers

Abstract

A crucial biological process called angiogenesis plays a vital role in migration, growth, and wound healing of endothelial cells and other processes that are controlled by chemical signals. Angiogenesis is the process that controls the growth of blood vessels within tissues while angiogenesis proteins play a significant role in the proper working of this process. The balancing of these signals is necessary for the proper working of angiogenesis. Unbalancing of these signals increases blood vessel formation, which causes abnormal growth or several diseases including cancer. The proposed work focuses on developing a two-layered prediction model using different classifiers like random forest (RF), neural network, and support vector machine. The first level performs in silico identification of angiogenesis proteins based on the primary structure. In the case the protein is an angiogenesis protein, then the second level predicts whether the protein is linked with tumor angiogenesis or not. The performance of the model is evaluated through various validation techniques. The model was evaluated using k -fold cross-validation, independent, self-consistency, and jackknife testing. The overall accuracy using an RF classifier for angiogenesis at the first level was 97.8% and for tumor angiogenesis at the second level was 99.5%, ANN showed 94.1% accuracy for angiogenesis and 79.9% for tumor angiogenesis, and the accuracy of SVM for angiogenesis was 78.8% and for tumor angiogenesis was 65.19%.

“…All the above statistical functions, used for feature extraction, have specific biological significance. 33 – 44 These functions extract information related to the position and composition of DNA gene sequences. Feature extraction helps in extracting very useful information such as the frequency of each element in DNA gene sequences, position relative to the occurrence, composition of a specific gene, and absolute position of each element of gene sequences.…”
