tipit_benchmark_RNA

This repository provides a Python implementation of several transcriptomic signatures that were associated with immunotherapy response in the literature, for different cancer types and checkpoint inhibitors.

It contains the code used in our study to perform a benchmark of transcriptomic signatures to predict immunotherapy outcome in non-small cell lung cancer:

"Integration of clinical, pathological, radiological, and transcriptomic data improves the prediction of first-line immunotherapy outcome in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer"

Preprint: https://doi.org/10.1101/2024.06.27.24309583

Note: The transcriptomic signatures were selected based on the work of Kang et al. 2023.

Installation

Dependencies

Examples

Define and compute a transcriptomic signature

import pandas as pd
from benchmark_RNA.signatures import get_CYT_score

data = pd.read_csv("data/transcritpomic_data.csv", index_col=0)

#1. Define the function score
CYT_fun = get_CYT_score(data)

#2. Compute the scores
CYT_scores = data.agg(CYT_fun, axis=1)

Note: data should be a pandas DataFrame with samples in rows and genes in columns. Columns names should be gene symbols.

Some signatures include training pre-processing steps in their definition such as PCA (e.g., FTBRS, TME), scaling (e.g., TIS, IIS), or KNN (MFP). It may be required to define them and compute their values with different datasets.

Define and compute a transcriptomic signature with train and test data

import pandas as pd
from benchmark_RNA.signatures_gsea import get_MFP_score

data_train = pd.read_csv("data/transcritpomic_data_train.csv", index_col=0)
data_test = pd.read_csv("data/transcritpomic_data_test.csv", index_col=0)

#1. Define the function score
MFP_fun = get_MFP_score(data_train)

#2. Compute the scores
MFP_scores = data_test.agg(MFP_fun, axis=1)

Scripts

We provide a Python scripts to reproduce the benchmark of transcriptomic signatures for the prediction of immunotherapy outcome in lung cancer in our paper. It defines and tests the different signatures across the fold of a repeated cross-validation scheme.
