Using TDAmut to analyze low grade glioma data

Updates to this tutorial are ongoing. What follows displays a near-complete workflow for using this package.

Getting Started

We will use low grade glioma expression and mutation data to demonstrate the TDAmut pipeline. The sample data is formatted from publically available TCGA data and is provided in the TDAmut package. Expression data is assumed to be normalized data (e.g. (log_2[1+TPM])) formatted as a matrix (rows = samples, columns = genes). Mutation data is assumed be in a table organized by Sample, Gene, and Type (e.g. missense, nonsense, splice, frameshift, …).

The user is afforded several options in each function of TDAmut. We implemented default options which can be a helpful starting point for the user.

Install and load TDAmut:

devtools::install_github("CamaraLab/TDA-TCGA")
library(TDAmut)

Note that this package requires prior installation of additional packages not available via CRAN (e.g., bioDist from BioConductor, RayleighSelection from the CamaraLab GitHub) in order to succeed. If these packages are not currently available on your system, they will need to be installed prior to installing the TDAmut package.

Creating TDAmut object for use throughout the pipeline

TDAmut takes as input the gene expression matrix and mutation table of the tumor cohort. The expected format for these two files can be seen in the example files in the folder data. The first step in the TDAmut pipeline is to create a TDAmut object. The TDAmut object is used as an intermediate across all functions and holds data and topological representations produced in this pipeline.

exp_data_path <- "data/LGG_Full_TPM_matrix.csv"
mut_data_path <- "data/LGG_Muts.txt"
LGG_object <- create_TDAmut_object(exp_data_path, mut_data_path)
## Removed 305 genes with no expression data
## Removed samples in expression data not in mutation data: 'TCGA-DU-7014-01A', 'TCGA-DU-A7TI-01A', 'TCGA-HW-7493-01A', 'TCGA-TQ-A7RK-02B'
## The following genes have mutation data but no expression data. They will not be considered for filtering of negative correlations later in the TDAmut pipeline: 'LEPREL1.55214', 'KRTAP21-2.337978', 'MT-ND4.4538', 'HLA-DRA.3122', 'KAL1.3730', 'MT-ND5.4540',

Creating topological representations of expression data

The LGG_object is passed to compute_complexes, which uses TDAmapper and RayleighSelection R packages to create nerve complexes across a grid of Mapper parameters (2D intervals and their percent overlap). We create several nerve complexes across a broad range of parameters to ensure stable results.

The LGG_object is populated with the topological representations and the parameters used to make them.

LGG_object <- compute_complexes(LGG_object, filter_method = 'KNN', k = 30, min_interval = 10, max_interval = 60, interval_step = 10, min_percent_overlap = 60, max_percent_overlap = 85, percent_step = 5)

Assessing current results by visualizing topological representations

To check the validity of the options chosen in the pipeline so far, we want to visualize our data on the topological representations. We expect to see localization of mutated genes which have been previously identified as distinct markers of low grade glioma subtypes.

  • IDH1 mutations in a subtype of astrocytoma
  • ATRX mutations in a astrocytic gliomas
  • CIC mutations in oligodendromas

We’ve chosen the topological representation created with 2D intervals = 30 and percent overlap = 75. More can be specified in a vector of interval and percent pairs passed to which_complexes. By default, 3 representations with parameters in the middle of the parameter range are chosen.

LGG_genes <- c('EGFR.1956', 'TP53.7157', 'IDH2.3418', 'CIC.23152')

plot_mapper(LGG_object, type = 'mutation', features = LGG_genes, which_complexes = c(30,75))

Filtering genes by mutation frequency, highest fraction of nonsynonymous mutations, and weak correlations between expression and mutation data

Genes can be filtered by

  • Mutational frequency among all samples
  • Those with the greatest ratio of nonsynonymous mutations to total mutations
  • Associations between expression and mutation rates of a gene

For example, anticorrelations between expression and mutation rates can arise due to transcription-coupled DNA repair. To correct for this, we assess the similarity of expression and mutation profiles within the topological representations using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient.

Genes with a median q value in between the thresholds specified by the upper_correlations_threshold and lower_correlations_threshold arguments are not considered, as they do not display a strong correlation or anticorrelation between expression and mutation rates.

LGG_object <- filter_genes(LGG_object, freq_threshold = 0.015, top_nonsyn_fraction = 350, upper_correlations_threshold = 0.9, lower_correlations_threshold = 1e-4)

Assessing localization of filtered genes

Filtered genes are assessed for localization across the topological representations using RayleighSelection. Localization is quantified via a p value, estimated by a similar permutation scheme as noted above. The false discovery rate is controlled using the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure, which results in an accompanying localization q value.

Note: compute_gene_localization is the most time-intensive function of TDAmut and can take a couple hours. Consider using the num_cores argument to parallelize this function.

LGG_object <- compute_gene_localization(LGG_object, num_permutations = 5000, num_cores = 1)

Results are summarized and stored in the summary_matrix slot of the TDAmut_object. Genes with a median localization q value below a user-defined threshold should be considered significant. These genes are predicted to be associated with global expression patterns over a subset of tumors.
