  1. Modeling Inflammation Diana Stefan AwantiSambarey August 12, 2012 CSHL CCB Final Project Presentation

  2. A healthy inflammatory response

  3. Reduced model of inflammation • Kumar, R., Clermont, G., Vodovotz, Y., Chow, C.C., 2004. The dynamics of acute inflammation. J. Theor. Biol. 230, 145–155. l m p p = pathogen m = early pro-inflammatory mediator l = late pro-inflammatory mediator time

  4. Reduced model of inflammation • Kumar, R., Clermont, G., Vodovotz, Y., Chow, C.C., 2004. The dynamics of acute inflammation. J. Theor. Biol. 230, 145–155. l m p p = pathogen m = early pro-inflammatory mediator l = late pro-inflammatory mediator time

  5. Exploring dynamics of the reduced model of inflammation Time course of p, m and l for the healthy response Late inflammatory mediators Persistent non-infectious inflammation

  6. Recurrent infection Persistent infectious inflammation 4 2 0 Severe immune deficiency

  10. Concluding Remarks • The model examines the effect of the strength of early and late-inflammatory responses, and describes the parameters that govern the clinical outcome. • The addition of anti-inflammatory mediators prevents persistent non-infectious inflammation by regulating late mediators. • The reduced model allows us to understand the general behavior of the system, however the model needs to be expanded to mimic the phenomenon of inflammation more closely.
