  1. Fifth International Conference on Sensitivity Analysis of Model Output, June 18-22, 2007, Budapest, Hungary Sensitivity Analysis and Experimental Design- case study of an NF-kB signal pathway Hong Yue Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre (MIB) The University of Manchester h.yue@manchester.ac.uk

  2. Motivation Sensitivity analysis Correlation analysis Identifiability analysis Robust/uncertainty analysis Model reduction Parameter estimation Experimental design Yue et al., Molecular BioSystems, 2, 2006

  3. Outline • Complexity ofNF-kB signal pathway • Local and global sensitivity analysis • Optimal/robust experimental design • Conclusionsand future work

  4. NF-kB signal pathway stiff nonlinear ODE model Hoffmann et al., Science, 298, 2002 Nelson et al., Sicence, 306, 2004 Sen and Baltimore,Cell, 46, 1986

  5. Complexity of NF-kB signal pathway • Nonlinearity: linear, bilinear, constant terms • Large number of parameters and variables, stiff ODEs • Different oscillation patterns stampedand limit-cycle oscillations • Stochastic issues, cross-talks, etc.

  6. Time-dependent sensitivities (local) • Sensitivity coefficients • Direct difference method (DDM) • Scaled (relative) sensitivity coefficients • Sensitivity index

  7. Local sensitivity rankings

  8. Sensitivities with oscillatory output Limit cycle oscillations: Non-convergent sensitivities Damped oscillations: convergent sensitivities

  9. Sensitivities and LS estimation • Assumption on measurement noise: additive, uncorrelated and normally distributed with zero mean and constant variance. • Least squares criterion for parameter estimation • Gradient • Hessian matrix

  10. Sensitivities and LS estimation • Correlation matrix • Fisher information matrix

  11. Understanding correlations from SA Similarity in the shape of sensitivity coefficients: K28 and k36 are correlated Sensitivity coefficients for NF-kBn. cost functions w.r.t. (k28, k36) and (k9, k28).

  12. Univariate uncertainty range for oscillations [0.1,12] k36 [0.1,1000] k36 Benefit: reduce the searching space for parameter estimation

  13. Global sensitivity analysis: Morris method • Log-uniformly distributed parameters • Random orientation matrix in Morris Method Max D. Morris, Technometrics, 33, 1991

  14. sensitivity ranking μ-σ plane GSA LSA

  15. Local sensitive Global sensitive k28, k29, k36, k38 k52, k61 k9, k62 k19, k42 k9: IKKIkBa-NF-kB catalytic k62: IKKIkBa catalyst k19: NF-kB nuclear import k42: constitutive IkBb translation k29: IkBa mRNA degradation k36: constituitiveIkBa translation k28: IkBa inducible mRNA synthesis k38: IkBan nuclear import k52: IKKIkBa-NF-kB association k61: IKK signal onset slow adaptation IKK, NF-kB, IkBa Sensitive parameters of NF-kB model

  16. Improved data fitting via estimation of sensitive parameters (b) Jin, Yue et al., ACC2007 (a) Hoffmann et al., Science (2002) The fitting result of NF-kBn in the IkBa-NF-kB model

  17. Optimal experimental design Aim: maximise the identification information while minimizing the number of experiments What to design? • Initial state values: x0 • Which states to observe: C • Input/excitation signal: u(k) • Sampling time/rate Basic measure of optimality: Fisher Information Matrix Cramer-Rao theory lower bound for the variance of unbiased identifiable parameters

  18. q2 q1 Optimal experimental design Commonly used design principles: • A-optimal • D-optimal • E-optimal • Modified E-optimal design 95% confidence interval The smaller the joint confidence intervals are, the more information is contained in the measurements

  19. Design of IKK activation: intensity 95% confidence intervals when :- IKK=0.01μM (r) modified E-optimal design IKK=0.06μM (b) E-optimal design

  20. Robust experimental design Aim: designthe experiment which should valid for a range of parameter values Measurement set selection This gives a (convex) semi-definite programming problem for which there are many standard solvers(Flaherty, Jordan, Arkin, 2006)

  21. Robust experimental design Contribution of measurement states Uncertainty degree

  22. Conclusions • Different insights from local and global SA • Importance of SA in systems biology • Benefits of optimal/robust experimental design Future works • SA of limit cycle oscillatory systems • Global sensitivity analysis and robust design
