#PROJECT
PR:PROJECT_TITLE                 	Dysregulated Alanine as a Potential Predictive Marker of Glioma—An Insight
PR:PROJECT_TITLE                 	from Untargeted HRMAS-NMR and Machine Learning Data
PR:PROJECT_TYPE                  	Untargeted HRMAS NMR, Glioma
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	Metabolic alterations play a crucial role in glioma development and progression
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	and can be detected even before the appearance of the fatal phenotype. We have
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	compared the circulating metabolic fingerprints of glioma patients versus
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	healthy controls, for the first time, in a quest to identify a panel of small,
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	dysregulated metabolites with potential to serve as a predictive and/or
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	diagnostic marker in the clinical settings. High-resolution magic angle spinning
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (HRMAS-NMR) was used for untargeted
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	metabolomics and data acquisition followed by a machine learning (ML) approach
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	for the analyses of large metabolic datasets. Cross-validation of ML predicted
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	NMR spectral features was done by statistical methods (Wilcoxon-test) using
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	JMP-pro16 software. Alanine was identified as the most critical metabolite with
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	potential to detect glioma with precision of 1.0, recall of 0.96, and F1 measure
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	of 0.98. The top 10 metabolites identified for glioma detection included
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	alanine, glutamine, valine, methionine, N-acetylaspartate (NAA), γ-aminobutyric
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	acid (GABA), serine, α-glucose, lactate, and arginine. We achieved 100%
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	accuracy for the detection of glioma using ML algorithms, extra tree classifier,
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	and random forest, and 98% accuracy with logistic regression. Classification of
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	glioma in low and high grades was done with 86% accuracy using logistic
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	regression model, and with 83% and 79% accuracy using extra tree classifier and
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	random forest, respectively. The predictive accuracy of our ML model is superior
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	to any of the previously reported algorithms, used in tissue- or liquid
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	biopsy-based metabolic studies. The identified top metabolites can be targeted
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	to develop early diagnostic methods as well as to plan personalized treatment
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	strategies.
