许多生理和病理途径依赖于基因特异性转录的开/关调节。一些基因被抑制，而另一些则被激活。虽然许多先前的研究已经分析了基因特异性抑制和激活的机制，但这些研究主要基于候选基因的使用，这些候选基因要么被抑制，要么被激活，而没有同时比较和对比两组基因。对基因定位的考虑也不够。在这里，我们描述了一种集成的机器学习方法，使用LASSO正则化逻辑回归，对基因特异性抑制和激活以及染色质相互作用的潜在贡献进行建模。LASSO-正则化逻辑回归准确预测基因特异性转录事件，并稳健地检测基因激活和抑制差异的限速因素。致白血病转录因子AML 1-ETO提供了一个例子，它占所有急性髓细胞白血病病例的10-15%。对AML 1-ETO的分析还揭示了染色质相互作用的新网络，并揭示了E蛋白在AML 1-ETO-p300相互作用中的意想不到的作用，以及预先存在的基因状态在控制转录反应中的作用。我们的研究结果表明，基于逻辑回归的概率模型是一个很有前途的工具，破译机制，整合基因调控和染色质相互作用的转录调控。
Many physiological and pathological pathways are dependent on gene-specific on/off regulation of transcription. Some genes are repressed, while others are activated. Although many previous studies have analyzed the mechanisms of gene-specific repression and activation, these studies are mainly based on the use of candidate genes, which are either repressed or activated, without simultaneously comparing and contrasting both groups of genes. There is also insufficient consideration of gene locations. Here we describe an integrated machine learning approach, using LASSO-regularized logistic regression, to model gene-specific repression and activation and the underlying contribution of chromatin interactions. LASSO-regularized logistic regression accurately predicted gene-specific transcriptional events and robustly detected the rate-limiting factors that underlie the differences of gene activation and repression. An example was provided by the leukemogenic transcription factor AML1-ETO, which is responsible for 10–15% of all acute myeloid leukemia cases. The analysis of AML1-ETO has also revealed novel networks of chromatin interactions and uncovered an unexpected role for E-proteins in AML1-ETO-p300 interactions and a role for the pre-existing gene state in governing the transcriptional response. Our results show that logistic regression-based probabilistic modeling is a promising tool to decipher mechanisms that integrate gene regulation and chromatin interactions in regulated transcription.
