Abstract

Since radiation sensitivity prediction can be used in various field, we investigate the feasibility of an in vitro radiation sensitivity prediction model using a deep neural network. A microarray of the National Cancer Institute-60 tumor cell lines and clonogenic surviving fraction at an absorbed dose of 2 Gy values are used to predict radiation sensitivity. The prediction model is based on convolutional neural network and 6-fold cross-validation approach is applied to validate the model. Of the 174 samples, 170 (97.7%) samples show less than 10% and 4 (2.30%) show more than 10% of relative error, respectively. Through an additional validation, model accurately predict 172 out of 174 samples, representing a prediction accuracy of 98.85% under the criteria of absolute error < 0.01 or the relative error < 10%. This results demonstrate that in vitro radiation sensitivity prediction from gene expression can be carried out with the deep learning technology.
