Abstract
A DNA microarray experiment was performed using a chip of type HU6800.Principal Component Analysis and clustering was performed to reveal group-ings in the samples. A statistical analysis was performed to reveal genesdifferentially expressed between the categories. A correspondence analysiswas performed to identify genes associated with the individual categoriesand experiments.
Significantly regulated genes with unknown function were analyzed forproperties of the encoded proteins and their function predicted using the
1
ProtFun software. The TRANSPATH and KEGG databases were searchedfor differentially expressed genes annotated on known signal transduction ormetabolic pathways.
1 Introduction
This report was generated automatically by the GenePublisher automatic DNAmicroarray analysis system1.
Guide to interpretation of results: first look at the MVA plots before and afternormalization to see if there are any obvious outlying chips (high variance andsteep slope). Outlying chips may also be identified in the chip clustering, the PCAor the KNN classifier. Then you look at the table of genes with significant changesin expression. Help in interpreting the biology of these genes may come from theLocusLink (if available), and from the TRANSPATH and KEGG analysis. Typi-cally, one or more genes on this list need to be verified as differentially regulatedby another method before publication, for example a quantitative PCR against themessenger RNA or an immunoassay against the protein. The gene cluster analysisis usually only of interest if there are more than two conditions compared in theexperiment. Whether there are two or more conditions, you may look at the pro-moter analysis. The list of potential promoter elements may be overwhelming, butyou can try to look for elements that are found by more than one method, or ele-ments that show up in genes with a related role or function. For more informationon the analysis methods used in this report, see Knudsen, S. (2002) A Biologist’sGuide to Analysis of DNA Microarray Data. Wiley, New York.
The purpose of this study is to identify differences between different stages/typesof bladder cancer based on DNA chips run on a biopsy. Patients with suspiciousgrowth in the bladder epithelium are subjected to a biopsy with an endoscope.From the biopsy RNA is extracted and run on a DNA chip. The biopsy is alsogiven to histopathologist, who uses a microscope to evaluate and stage the sus-picious growth into: superficial Ta, intermediate T1, and invasive T2-T4. Thepurpose of this report is to identify differences in gene expression between thesestages. Such differences can be used not only to learn more about the molecu-lar basis of the disease and its progression from benign to malignant, but also toclassify tumors based on a biopsy.

2 Materials and Methods
2.1 Statistical Analysis
The statistical analysis was performed using the R statistics programming envi-ronment available from www.r-project.org. False positive prediction rates wereassessed by multiplying P-values with the number of genes (Bonferroni-type cor-rection for multiple testing2).
2.2 Array Normalization
The individual chips were made comparable to each other by applying the qs-pline3 method. Qspline is a robust non-linear method for normalization usingarray signal distribution analysis and cubic splines. Qspline fits cubic splines tothe quantiles of the array signal distribution, and uses those splines to normalizesignals dependent on their intensity.
2.3 Expression index calculation
For each gene, the expression index was calculated based on the probes by usingthe Li-Wong Model-Based Expression Index4. This model takes into account thatprobe pairs respond differently to changes in expression of a gene and that thevariation between replicates is also probe-pair dependent.
If ”Background correction” is specified as ”subtractmm”, then the weightedaverage difference is used:
���������� ������������������where ��� is a scaling factor that is specific to probe pair ������������ and isobtained by fitting a statistical model to a series of experiments.
The model can be run without the mismatch (MM) probes as well, using onlyperfect match (PM) probe information, by specifying ”Background correction” as”bg.adjust”. This uses a model-based background subtraction from PM probes5.This latter PM-bg method is preferred over PM-MM methods because the result-ing noise level is lower and because negative expression values are avoided.

2.4 Clustering and PCA on chips
Before any statistical analysis was performed, all genes on the chip were used fora hierarchical cluster analysis and principal component analysis to discover anygrouping in the data (chips).
2.5 Statistical Significance
Differentially expressed genes between two categories of replicated experimentswere identified by applying the Welch t-test assuming unequal variance of the twopopulations. The P-values calculated for each gene were Bonferroni corrected bythe number of genes to estimate the family-wise error rate. It is possible to specifyuse of a paired t-test in the parameter file.
2.6 Analysis of Variance
Differentially expressed genes between more than two categories of replicatedexperiments were identified by applying an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). TheP-values calculated for each gene were Bonferroni corrected by the number ofgenes to estimate the family-wise error rate.
2.7 Log fold change calculation
The logarithm of the fold change of gene expression was calculated in order toobtain a symmetric distribution of regulation around zero (upregulated genes havepositive logfold values, downregulated genes have negative logfold values). Ex-pression values less than 20 were set to 20 before calculating the log fold changein order to avoid negative expression values that can occur if mismatch probevalues are subtracted.
2.8 Gene Clustering
Hierarchical clustering was performed using the ClusterExpress software devel-oped by Christopher Workman. Distances were calculated as the angle betweenvectors, and the expression values visualized as the logarithm of fold change rel-ative to the average of category A.

2.9 Correspondence Analysis
Associations between categories and genes significant in the statistical test werevisualized with correspondence analysis. Expression values were first convertedto positive numbers by setting all negative numbers to zero. After correspondenceanalysis, genes and experiments were plotted in the same plot using the first twoprincipal components6
2.10 Gene Annotation
Genes were annotated with Gene Ontologies (www.geneontology.org), which pro-vides a unique identifier for each gene known to be responsible for a cellular pro-cess or function. Genes were grouped according to high-level function categoriesin the Gene Ontology database. Genes grouped under more than one functionalcategory were only counted once.
Genes were matched to the KEGG7 (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes)description of known cellular pathways (http://www.genome.ad.jp). For genesmatching more than one pathway, only one pathway is shown.
Genes were matched to the TRANSPATH8 database of signal transduction(www.gene-regulation.com). If genes match more than one pathway, only onepathway is shown.
2.11 Protein Function Prediction
For those genes where a gene ontology number has not been assigned and thefunction has not been inferred by homology to another protein, an attempt wasmade at predicting the function using the ProtFun9 method. The ProtFun methodspredicts the function not based on homology, but based on properties of the proteinsequence as well as predicted features such as post-translational modification.

2.12 Promoter analysis
Upstream regions (5000 bp for human, 300 bp for yeast) were extracted fromthe genes of each cluster using Ensembl (www.ensembl.org) or GenBank. Thesoftware program saco patterns10 was run on each cluster to identify significantlyoverrepresented patterns in the upstream regions. saco patterns looks for con-served (identical) patterns in sequences, it does not allow for degeneration of thepattern.
The Gibbs sampler11 was run on the same upstream regions. The Gibbs sam-pler looks for degenerate patterns which it tries to capture with a weight matrixdescription. In all sequences, the best match to this weight matrix is shown inthe output. The Gibbs sampler starts with a new random matrix every time and isnon-deterministic, meaning that it may give different results every time it is run.
The transcription factor binding sites in the TRANSFAC12 database were matchedagainst the same upstream regions. Factor matrices with hits more than 95% ofthe maximal score of the matrix were recorded.

3 Results
3.1 Normalization
Figure 1 shows a comparison of all chips before normalization. This is a so-calledM versus A plot; instead of plotting each probe on one chip against each probe onanother, the scales are changed so it plots, for each probe, the logarithm of the ra-tio of expression between the two chips as a function of the logarithm of the meanof the expression of the two chips. Two identical chips would yield a straight, flatline through zero. Two comparable chips ideally have a straight, flat line throughzero and a few probes off the line indicating differential expression. Deviation ofthe line from zero reveals a need for normalization before the two chips can becompared, and deviation from a straight line reveals a need for non-linear normal-ization (different normalization factors for highly and weakly expressed genes).
Figure 2 shows the comparison of all the chips after normalization.
3.2 PCA and clustering of chips
All chips were clustered based on the Euclidean distance of all genes (Figure 3).Such a clustering shows the relationship between individual chips, in particular

if the cluster together in the categories they have been assigned. If they do notcluster together in the categories assigned, or if one chip clusters separately, thismay be indicative of a problem, for example an outlier (bad quality) chip. In thatcase the analysis should be repeated without that chip to see if the results from thestatistical analysis increase in significance.
Another way to look at the same information is to look at the first two principalcomponents. Figure 4 shows a principal component analysis of the individualchips in order to determine any structure in the relationship between chips. ThePCA is based on all genes.
3.3 Classification of chips
A K nearest neighbor classifier was built to classify chips based on the expressionof all genes. Each chip was compared to all other chips and the category assign-ment of the three closest chips in Euclidean gene expression space was used topredict its category. Table 1 shows the prediction for each chip. The total ac-
10
curacy of class prediction reached was 67 and 67 percent for a k=1 and a k=3classifier, repectively. It may be possible to improve on this accuracy by select-ing predictive genes and by optimizing the number of nearest neighbors K. Doingthis, however, will necessitate an evaluation on an independent test set that wasnot used for optimizing the classifier.

3.4 Statistical Analysis
Table 2 and Table 3 show the top 100 up- and downregulated genes after statisticalanalysis together with their estimated P-values. For each gene there is a list ofgene ontology annotations (GO), if available. Information on the P-values andexpression levels of all genes on the array is available in the file Pvalues.abs in thesame directory as this report.

We expect 0.00163262 false positive predictions of differential regulation withthe same P-value as the top ranking gene (after correction for multiple testing 7129genes). We expect 7.81381 false positive predictions of differential regulationwith the same P-value as the bottom ranking gene (after correction for multipletesting).
In the Adobe Acrobat (PDF) version of this report, the probe ID is hyperlinkedto the LocusLink database (if available). Clicking on the probe ID will take youto a detailed description of the gene in that database.
3.5 Functional categories
The top ranking genes that have a function annotated by Gene Ontology termshave been placed into functional and process categories as defined by the GeneOntology Consortium. Figure 5 shows the distribution of the upregulated anddownregulated genes by function. Upregulation and downregulation is determinedbased on the last category compared to the first category. Figure 6 comparesupregulated and downregulated genes directly by category.
3.6 Prediction of orphan function
Among the top ranking genes are genes with unknown function. For those geneswhere the complete amino acid sequence is known or predicted, the ProtFun soft-ware was used to predict the function in general categories (Table 4).

The top genes were searched against the TRANSPATH13 signal transductiondatabase (www.transpath.de or www.gene-regulation.com). Table 5 shows theresults.
Table 5: Table of top ranking genes found in TRANSPATH.Expression refers to absolute expression of of the gene on thefirst chip, P-value of differential expression and logfold changein expression. Pathway refers to the name of the pathway inTRANSPATH in which the gene was found and the gene namerefers to the name used for the gene in that pathway. If you clickon a gene identifier, your browser will take you to a database de-scription of it.

The figures shown on the following pages give a schematic overview of thesignal transduction pathways in which differentially expressed genes were found.Remember that the signal is usually transmitted by protein-to-protein contact.Such protein-to-protein contact is not detected in a DNA microarray experiment.What is detected instead is if any genes encoding the proteins in the pathway areregulated or if any target genes of the pathways are regulated.
The signal transduction pathway analysis was extended beyond the top rank-ing genes to look for all genes in the experiment which could be mapped to aTRANSPATH annotated pathway. The purpose of this is to discover pathwayswith a number of differentially regulated genes, even though they on an individualgene basis do not pass a statistical significance test.
Figure 8 shows all the TRANSPATH pathways in which genes were found andsummarizes their rank in the statistical analysis.

Figure 8: A list of all signal transduction pathways in which genes were found. Thex-axis shows the P-value of each gene assigned to each pathway. A P-value close to 1means the gene is almost certain to be unchanged in the experiment. The smaller theP-value, the greater the probability of differential regulation. Pathways with differentialexpression should stand out from the background level.

3.8 Metabolic pathway analysis
A pathway analysis was performed on the top ranking genes by running themagainst the KEGG database of cellular pathways. Table 6 shows the results.
Table 6: Table of top ranking genes found in KEGG. The pathwayof the top gene can be seen in Figure 9 and the E.C. number refersto the step in that pathway. If you click on a pathway name, yourbrowser will take you to a figure of the pathway. You can locatethe E.C. numbers on the figures. If you click on a gene identifier,your browser will take you to a database description of it.

The KEGG pathway analysis was extended beyond the top ranking genes tolook for all genes in the experiment which could be mapped to a KEGG pathway.The purpose of this is to discover pathways with a number of differentially regu-lated genes, even though they on an individual gene basis do not pass a statisticalsignificance test.
Figure 10 shows all the KEGG pathways in which genes were found and sum-marizes their rank in the statistical analysis.
3.9 Clustering of Genes
A visualization of the expression of the top ranking genes in each of the experi-ments is performed by clustering with the ClusterExpress software (Figure 11).
A number of K-means clusterings were performed as well. First the numberof clusters, K, was optimized by measuring how the number of clusters affects thequality of the clustering (Figure 12). Then a K-means clustering using the optimalnumber of clusters, 2, was performed (Figure 13).

Figure 13: K-means clustering of top ranking genes based on their vector angle distance.The color scale shows for each gene the logarithm of the fold change relative to the av-erage expression in the first category. For each gene, the chip ID, the number referringto Table 2 and Table 3, as well as the P-value are given. The number of clusters, 2, wasselected by optimization.

3.10 Promoter analysis
From the K-means clustering the upstream regions were extracted from the genesof each cluster. The software program saco patterns14 was run on each cluster toidentify overrepresented patterns in the upstream regions. Table 7 shows the mostoverrepresented patterns for each cluster.
Table 7: Analysis of the upstream regions of the K-means clus-ters with saco patterns. The occurrence of exact matches to eachpattern is shown in the cluster (cluster size given in parenthesis)and in the background data set (set size given in parenthesis). Theresulting (negative logarithm of the) probability of overrepresen-tation from the hypergeometric distribution is shown. For eachpattern, the genes in which it was found is listed. If a pattern wasfound more than once in a gene, then that gene will appear morethan once on the list. The sequence numbers refer to the numbersin the clustering and in the tables of up- and down-regulated genes.

An overrepresentation per se is not enough to signify biological relevance.To further substantiate a pattern, the patterns can be extracted from the upstreamregions and aligned with context. If there is conservation in the regions surround-ing the pattern then that further supports biological relevance. The final determi-nation will come from biological verification using site-directed mutagenesis orbandshift methods.

The Gibbs sampler15 was run on the same clusters as saco patterns. The Gibbssampler looks for degenerate patterns which it tries to capture with a weight matrixdescription. In all sequences, the best match to this weight matrix is shown in theoutput. The alignment allows judgment of the degree of conservation. The resultsare shown below:
Table 8: Weight matrices describing gibbs patterns in upstream regions of K-means clus-ters. The hypergeometric sample statistics is given as the logarithm of the P-value, wherei is the number of times the matrix matches the positive set above threshold, m is thenumber of times the matrix matches the negative set above threshold, and N and n are thesizes of the negative and positive sets, respectively. For each pattern, the genes in whichit was found is listed.

3.11 Correspondence Analysis
A correspondence analysis was performed on the 50 top ranking genes to lookfor strong associations between genes and experiments (Figure 14). Genes andexperiments are each projected into the same two-dimensional space. A gene thatis far removed from the center of the plot (0,0) is associated with an experimentif that experiment is also far removed from the center of the plot in the samedirection.
