Data_Sheet_1_Cox Regression Based Modeling of Functional Connectivity and Treatment Outcome for Relapse Prediction and Disease Subtyping in Substance Use Disorder.pdf

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become one of the most widely used noninvasive neuroimaging technique in research of cognitive neurosciences and of neural mechanisms of neuropsychiatric/neurological diseases. A primary goal of fMRI-based neuroimaging studies is to identify biomarkers for brain-behavior relationship and ultimately perform individualized treatment outcome prognosis. However, the concern of inadequate validation and the nature of small sample sizes are associated with fMRI-based neuroimaging studies, both of which hinder the translation from scientific findings to clinical practice. Therefore, the current paper presents a modeling approach to predict time-dependent prognosis with fMRI-based brain metrics and follow-up data. This prediction modeling is a combination of seed-based functional connectivity and voxel-wise Cox regression analysis with built-in nested cross-validation, which has been demonstrated to be able to provide robust and unbiased model performance estimates. Demonstrated with a cohort of treatment-seeking cocaine users from psychosocial treatment programs with 6-month follow-up, our proposed modeling method is capable of identifying brain regions and related functional circuits that are predictive of certain follow-up behavior, which could provide mechanistic understanding of neuropsychiatric/neurological disease and clearly shows neuromodulation implications and can be used for individualized prognosis and treatment protocol design.</p

Polarity, which refers to the molecular or structural asymmetry in cells, is essential for diverse cellular functions. Dictyostelium has proven to be a valuable system for dissecting the molecular mechanisms of cell polarity. Previous studies in Dictyostelium have revealed a range of signaling and cytoskeletal proteins that function at the leading edge to promote pseudopod extension and migration. In contrast, how proteins are localized to the trailing edge is not well understood. By screening for asymmetrically localized proteins, we identified a novel trailing-edge protein we named Teep1. We show that a charged surface formed by two pleckstrin homology (PH) domains in Teep1 is necessary and sufficient for targeting it to the rear of cells. Combining biochemical and imaging analyses, we demonstrate that Teep1 interacts preferentially with PI(4,5)P2 and PI(3,5)P2in vitro and simultaneous elimination of these lipid species in cells blocks the membrane association of Teep1. Furthermore, a leading-edge localized myotubularin phosphatase likely mediates the removal of PI(3,5)P2 from the front, as well as the formation of a back-to-front gradient of PI(3,5)P2. Together our data indicate that PI(4,5)P2 and PI(3,5)P2 on the plasma membrane jointly participate in shaping the back state of Dictyostelium cells.</p
