We also applied SiRCle to a PanCan cohort and found common signatures across ccRCC and PanCan, in addition to the regulatory layer that defines tissue identity. (12/14)

Using this novel integrated test, we found that tumour stage and patient age impact ccRCC’s metabolic fingerprint, with increased expression of OXPHOS genes at higher stages. (11/14)

Hence, we developed a novel integrated test to identify changes between patient cohorts. This is based on a variational autoencoder to learn gene-wise relationships across the three data layers. (10/14)

SiRCle clustering elucidates the distinct layers where metabolic changes in ccRCC are orchestrated: DNA hypomethylation regulates the increased expression of glycolytic enzymes, whilst the TCA cycle is regulated by translationally suppressing the enzymes. (8/14)

Transcription factor (TF) analysis revealed the drivers of genes in SiRCle clusters at the transcriptional or methylation layer. Indeed, HIF1 TFs target genes in TPDE and MDE, SiRCle clusters enriched for angiogenesis-related GO terms. (7/14)
