  Introduction Top


Gene expression experiment has become the important techniques to uncover the biological information and function of specific biological systems such as pathways, diseases states, and cancers. Major advantage of these experiments is that samples can be prepared using different exposures such as chemical, radiations, and stress, and variation in gene expression can be identified. Till date, number of gene expression experiments has been developed such as DNA microarray, serial analysis of gene expression, expressed sequence tags, and RNAseq that deal with the transcript information of cell. Microarray is most potential technique that is used to identify gene expression in various experimental conditions.

Till date, microarray experiment results have been majorly analyzed to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). These are the set of genes that show difference or variation in gene expression in different biological conditions.[1] With the advancement in computational science and with the availability of high performance and sophisticated software's and tools, these high throughput experiments have been explored in various directions such as pathway analysis, co-expression genes, and functional enrichment that reveals the crucial information of cell.

Number of bioinformatic software's and tools such as R and Bioconductor, MeV, Genesis, Genowiz, Qlucore Omics Explorer, GeneSpring GX are available for analyzing gene expression. Out of these, most of the software's are either commercially available or only available for trial version for 1 month.[2],[3] R and Bioconductor have emerged as potential free and open-source software that facilitates the analysis of various high throughput genomics and proteomics data.[4]

Traditional methods of microarray data analysis need to be carefully evaluated for their suitability to analyze particular type of data set. Microarray experiments are useful to understand key questions of modern genomics. Key objectives of microarray experiment include following categories.

  1. DEG identification, a traditional microarray experiment is used to identify DEGs. That is the identification of genes that behave differently in one condition and show variation in their expression graph,[5] e.g. identification of DEGs between cancer cell and normal cell. This type of DEG analysis is called as statistical analysis and uses comparison statistics
  2. Clustering or co-expression analysis, this type of analysis includes the identification of those genes that show the same behavior in their expression across microarray experiment.[6] These are important to identify group of genes that belong to the same molecular and biological process (BP) for instance group of genes that are expressed at neurodevelopmental process[7]
  3. Classification techniques, it includes to identify novel subtype of population and when the data of such population is previously known. Here, the aim is to classify microarray data into various subtypes or classes, depending upon the known set of genes and parameters,[8] as for example, identification of classes of cancer that is difficult to distinguish morphologically but can be easily identified by gene expression data
  4. Gene ontology and pathway analysis, this type of annotation includes microarray studies that aim to identify set of genes that belong to common pathways, BP, or cellular component (CC),[9] e.g. identification of group of genes that are expressed when cells are treated with drug.


Affymetrix microarray experiment generates raw intensity file called as CEL file. This file contains thousands of numerical values that correspond to the intensity measurement of each feature probe spotted on chip, so these files are of very large size.[10]

Initial step in microarray data analysis includes quality control analysis after reading in raw files.[11] [Figure 1] represents the flowchart for microarray data analysis from raw files to data analysis steps for the prediction and statistically significant and functional genes. Quality control step is important for visualization of the entire microarray intensity values per sample and to identify any error in microarray results. It generated various visualization plots such as intensity plot, RNA degradation plot, and box plot.[12]

After QC analysis, next step is to remove any sources of error or biasness that might have been incorporated due to experimental errors or instrumental errors commonly known as systematic errors.[13] Biasness may be incorporated in the microarray results due to difference in intensity of dyes, biasness in probe labeling, difference in spotting, difference in laser scanner. Before any analysis has to be done, primary step is to remove these errors from the microarray result, so that different CEL files that are generated per sample can be compared and biologically significant genes can be identified.[14]

Normalization method generates normalized gene expression matrix, where the column represents the sample probes and rows represent the feature probes (Affymetrix ids). [Table 1] shows the gene expression matrix format that is generated after normalization and background correction step.[15]
Table 1: Gene expression matrix, column represents the sample probes, and rows represent the feature probes ids, and normalized intensity values per sample

Statistical analysis is done on this normalized gene expression file, and different comparison statistical methods can be implemented on this file, such as paired simple t-test, paired t-test, moderated variance t-test, two-way ANOVA, significant analysis of microarray, etc. Various clustering methods such as hierarchical clustering, K-means clustering, and self-organizing map can also be executed on this microarray gene expression matrix to group samples or feature probes or both (biclustering). Clustering methods can also be applied to list of DEGs extracted from comparison statistics to group genes with similar gene expression profile.[16]

Another most crucial and important step that is done after screening statistically significant genes is biological annotation and pathway analysis. Functional enrichment is a method to identify those genes that are involved in particular questioned biological condition.[17] This data gives information about the set of genes that are linked with the particular biological processes such as reproduction, cell synthesis, signaling, and response to stimulus. Functional studies can be done by gene ontology database that gives the ontology or classifies the genes in three distinct classes that are BP, molecular function, and CC.[18] Study of functional characteristics of genes has to be done carefully and it should be supported by literature study. There are different other databases that are available for functional enrichment of Affymetrix ids such as DAVID database and Metascape tool.[19]

Pathway analysis is important to understand and establish the relation between functional and molecular mechanism of identified genes. There are different databases that can be used to study the pathways such as KEGG database, Panther database, and Reactome database. Functional study of genes can also be done at protein level by functional relationship between gene and protein. Protein detail of each gene can be done by UniProt database, STRING database for protein–protein interaction study, GeneMANIA database, etc.[20],[21]

After screening of few genes around 2–10 that corresponds to particular sample of interest, biological verification has to be done by different experimental methods such as EST analysis to verify the expression of identified gene in different sample condition. Microarray also reduces the time, money, manpower that was used to investigate the thousands of genes as compared to few genes only.[22]

Microarray experiment “Neuronal Development Injury and Repair”

Microarray experiment was used to detail the global program of gene expression underlying the neurotoxicity of monocrotophos (MCP) and neuroprotection of resveratrol (RV) using human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived neuronal cells.

[Figure 2] shows the microarray experiment that was designed to identify the genes that are expressed in different experimental exposure. MSCs were exposed with RV, nerve growth factor (NGF), and RV + NGF to study the effect of neuroprotective role of RV; detail of this microarray experiment has already been described in our previous publication (Yadav and Srivastava, clustering, pathway enrichment, and protein–protein interaction analysis of gene expression in neurodevelopmental disorders. Advances in Pharmacological Sciences. https://doi.org/10.1155/2018/3632159) and Yadav et al. NCBIs Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO Series accession number GSE121261 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc = GSE121261). [Figure 2] also describes the amalgamation of wet laboratory microarray experiment and computational methods to identify biologically relevant genes.

Protocol development is a key part of microarray data analysis, with the use of appropriate statistical methods and comparison methods. With the careful observation of the expression patterns of all the genes, crucial genes can be identified that are important for different cell functions, such as neuronal development, overall cell growth and development, regeneration, and apoptosis.[23] For deep understanding of the microarray data, proper objectives must be framed and to accomplish these objectives, different protocols should be designed to predict gene of interest.


  Materials and Methods Top


Microarray gene expression data used in this study has been initially deposited in NCBIs Gene Expression Omnibus Database with the accession number GSE121261 and has been published in our previous publication.[24],[25]

Computational softwares and tools were used for the identification of co-expressed genes co-expressed across microarray experiment and network construction. This paper also describes the protocol that can be used for network construction and identification of hub genes using microarray gene expression experiment and the annotation methods. [Figure 3] shows the protocol, different software's, and databases that were used for co-expression analysis, network construction, and functional enrichment analysis.

R and Bioconductor, Affy packages were used for data normalization and data transformation. Gene expression matrix was generated using robust multiarray average as implemented in Affy package and normalized data was deposited in NCBIs GEO database. Gene expression data matrix was used for co-expression genes prediction and the identification of hub genes that have the same biological function.

Co-expressed genes were identified using CoExpress 1.0b software. Co-expressed genes that were identified were further used for network construction using Cytoscape tool. Network analysis provides the list of hub genes that were connected and belongs to the same cluster. It also identifies those genes that were not linked with the hub genes and belongs to different cluster.

Functional enrichment of hub genes was done using Metascape tool. Hub genes that were identified from network analysis were further used for protein–protein interaction study. Functional annotation of hub genes was done using Gene Ontology database and genes were screened that have function in neurodevelopmental process.

Identification of co-expressed genes

Gene expression matrix was first analyzed for overall expression of genes in microarray chip. The size of overall gene expression matrix was 49495 × 10 = 494950. [Figure 4] shows the overall expression of all genes across ten samples. Expression graph shows that there was variation in gene expression across microarray chip, this variation ranges from 0.62 (minimum expression) to 1.04 (maximum expression). Sample 4 probes show the maximum expression and sample 7 probes have minimum expression.

Initial step in co-expression was gene filtering. Genes were filtered, from gene expression matrix if gene expression is less than 4.0 and standard deviation is less than 0.40. Genes were also filtered if they represent no values in more than 20% of the values. Before filtering, microarray data have mean value of 4.270 and standard deviation of 1.590. Total 136 genes were filtered following the above parameters with the mean of 6.96 and standard deviation of 1.810. Filtered data set was used for co-expression analysis. [Figure 5] shows the values of 136 genes in 10 samples; it shows that genes show the expression range from −2 to 3.

After gene filtering and normalization, co-expression analysis was done using Pearson's correlation coefficient, with correlation power of 1 and filtering threshold power of 0.9. Total 87 co-expressed genes were identified with the above parameters. [Figure 7] shows the distribution of co-expressed genes (CE); it shows that CE genes were normally distributed with the values ranging from −0.9 to +0.9 and it also shows the frequency of occurrence of CE genes which ranges from 0.002 to 0.044.

Network construction and identification of hub genes

Co-expressed genes (87 genes) that were predicted were further used for network construction to identify those genes which were uniquely expressed genes. Network of co-expressed genes also identifies the hub genes that were connected [Figure 8] and show interaction. Gene network was further subclustered to identify closely related and distinct genes. Network analysis shows that seven genes, namely CLTC, CYP51A1, HSPA5, E1F5B, TRPS1, FOS, and PURA, were outside hub genes network and are distinct.

Functional enrichment and gene ontology study of network genes

Co-expressed genes identified were further annotated for biological intervention and pathway analysis. List of co-expressed genes was searched against pathway and GO database. Each gene was studied for its pathway and process enrichment score, for statistically significant of genes in each BP.

Functional enrichment of network genes was done to identify the function of co-expressed genes [Figure 9]. Functional enrichment signifies that some genes were involved in, developmental processes, negative regulation of cytoplasmic translation, PID MAPK TRK pathway, muscle structure development, and positive regulation of multiorganism process.

Other important genes such as FOS, KRAS, RAP1A, PTEN, SRSF5, NIPBL, QKI, SOBP, CLTC, RICTOR, HSPA5, KIF5B, USP34, and NAA15 were predicted; functional detail shows that these genes have function in PID MAPK TRK pathway (Canonical Pathways database, M270).

GO: 0061061 includes 8 genes, namely ZFHX3, FOS, KRAS, MBNL1, PTEN, QKI, ZBTB18, and ANKRD17, and functional study shows that these genes have function in muscle structure development. Other important category is response to radiation (GO: 0009314) with the genes FMR1, FOS, HSPA5, KRAS, SMC1A, NIPBL, ATRX, CPEB4, GNAI2, and PTEN, have to function in negative regulation of cytoplasmic translation, cohesin loading onto chromatin, negative regulation of calcium ion-dependent exocytosis, mRNA processing, regulation of translational initiation, transcriptional regulation by RUNX3, ribonucleoprotein complex subunit organization, estrogen-dependent gene expression, gamete generation, positive regulation of multiorganism process.

Some genes show function in repair mechanism pathways such as cohesin loading onto chromatin (Reactome Gene Sets, R-HSA-2470946) with the gene symbols SMC1A, WAPL, NIPBL, ATRX, PURA, REV3 L, ANKRD17, FMR1, MTF2, CLTC, PTEN, SUZ12, BRD2, DEK, KIF5B, RICTOR, and MBNL1 and protein refolding (GO: 0042026) mechanism with the genes HSPA5, ST13, PPIG, and GNAI2.

Gene ontology and functional analysis of co-expressed genes show that identified genes have function in developmental process, repair mechanism, regulation processes, and response to radiation. To extend the analysis, protein–protein interaction analysis was done to relate gene and protein relationship and their function.

Protein–protein interaction study and identification of neurodevelopmental genes

Protein–protein interaction analysis was carried out by STRING database. [Figure 10] shows that the protein interaction map of co-expressed genes and protein in red color nodes have function in function in neurodevelopment. By using this protein interaction map, those proteins were identified that have function in neurodevelopment. This study signifies the function of genes at protein level and function of identified genes in developmental process was verified.

ZFHX3 signaling pathways regulate pluripotency of stem cells. These proteins have important function in signaling pathways and can be further verified for their potential role in neurodevelopment.


  Discussion Top


Co-expression analysis identifies the genes that were co-expressed across microarray experiment. Co-expressed genes are the gene that shows the same level of variation in gene expression, in each experimental sample. It is important to identify these genes since co-expressed genes information can be used to identify genes that belong to the same biological pathway. These genes can also give the evidence for protein–protein interaction. The current study identified the proteins that are associated with neuronal injury caused by MCP. This experiment was done by microarray experiment and analysis was done to identify proteins that are expressed in different condition. This paper also describes the method that can be adopted to analyze any microarray experiment data to identify proteins network and hub proteins that expressed together for function. By using computational software's and tools for gene expression analysis, in this paper, we have identified few proteins such as PTEN, KIF5B, FMR1, KRAS, and ZFHX3 that have function in neurodevelopmental process and these proteins are also expressed when injured with organophosphate. These proteins can act as important marker to identify neurodevelopmental disorder also. Further verification methods are required for these predicted proteins for their applicability in drug development process.
