Quantitative Modeling of Metabolic Networks Sai Jagan Mohan, Ph.D. Sonali Das, Ph.D. Anupama Bhat.
Problem definition and approach Modules The glutathione module The bioenergetics module Complementary modeling approaches Constraint based modeling Metabolic control analysis (MCA) Summary Overview
Genetic Drug / Dose Physiology / Disease Hepatotoxicity prediction is hard Metabolism Hepatotoxicity intricate and dynamic 'system-level' interactions.
Our Approach A comprehensive model of homeostasis metabolism in a liver cell Toxicity Drug-induced perturbations Hepatotoxicity: Mechanisms • Cell Death of Functional Liver Cells • Impaired Bile Flow • Faulty Fat Processing
The glutathione metabolism module The bioenergetics module Cytotoxicity Modules • Characteristics • Non-linear ODE’s • Two compartments • Fluxes: Enzyme Kinetics/Mass Action
Enzymes => Non-linearity • VGCS = • Vmax{[ATP][Glu][Cys]/KmATPKmGlu(1+[GSH]/KiGSH)KmCys} • {1+[Glu]/KmGlu(1+[GSH]/KiGSH) + [Glu] [Cys]/KmGlu(1+[GSH]/KiGlu)KmCys+[Glu][ATP]/KmATPKmGlu(1+[GSH]/KiGSH) + [Glu][Cys][ATP]/KmATPKmGlu(1+[GSH]/KiGSH) KmCys}
