  1. Introduction to Systems Biology 國立台灣大學資訊工程系 博士後研究員 詹鎮熊

  2. What is a system?

  3. Features of a system • Components • Interrelated components • Boundary • Purpose • Environment • Interfaces • Input • Output • Constrain

  4. Examples of Systems

  5. Life‘s Complexity Pyramid System Functional modules Building blocks Components Z. N. Oltvai and A.-L. Barabási, Science 298, 763 (2002)

  6. 生物圈 個體 生態體系 器官系統 社區 組織 族群 細胞 個體 分子 原子

  7. 個體 – 細胞 – 胞器 – 分子Organism – Cell – Organelle – Molecules 人體由上兆個細胞組成 每個細胞具有: 46 條染色體 2 米長的DNA 30 億個鹼基 (A, T, G, C) 2~3萬個基因

  8. The Central Dogma

  9. Bottom-up • From genes to phenotypes • If the genome sequence can be fully sequenced, can we resolve all the secrets hidden in the DNA?

  10. The -omics (-ome) era

  11. Genomics (Genome) • Human Genome Project • Other Genome Projects • Mouse • Fly • Dog • Worm • Bacteria • … • Most recently … Cat

  12. Human genome project • Sequence the whole genome sequence of several individuals • Competition between Celera and NIH • Took over a decade • Draft in 2000, complete in 2003

  13. The next stage: HapMap • HapMap is a catalog of common genetic variants that occur in human beings • It describes: • what these variants are • where they occur in our DNA • and how they are distributed among people within populations and among populations in different parts of the world

  14. Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP)

  15. Personalized genome • James Watson (454 Life Science) • Craig Venter (Venter Institute) • 23andme (backed by Google, focus on social/family relationships) • Navigenics (focus on medical conditions) • Personal Genome Project (PGP, Harvard)

  16. Proteomics (Proteome) • Categorize all proteins (and their relationships) in a temporal-spatial confined system • Identities of these proteins • Quantities • Variants of these proteins • Alternative splicing forms • Post-translational modifications (Phosphorylation, Methylation, Ubiqutination, …)

  17. Proteomics

  18. Mass Spectrometry

  19. Co-localization (interaction) between protein-protein, protein-DNA pairs Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET)

  20. Transcriptome • Identify all transcription factors (TF) functioning in a specific temporal-spatial confined system • Identify all genes regulated by specific TFs • ChIP-chip • TransFac database

  21. a well-established procedure used to investigate interactions between DNA-binding proteins and DNA in vivo Chromatin Immuno-Precipitation (ChIP)

  22. ChIP-chip

  23. Transcription Factor Binding Motifs

  24. Interactome • Categorized all interactions (protein-protein or protein-DNA) within an organism • Yeast Two-Hybrid • Immuno-coprecipitation (co-IP) • Mass Spectrometry • FRET • …

  25. Yeast Two-hybrid

  26. Metabolomics (Metabolome) • “systematic study of the unique chemical fingerprints that specific cellular processes leave behind” • Collection of all metabolites in a biological organism

  27. Analytical methods for metabolomics • Separation • Gas Chromatography (GC) • High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) • Capillary electrophoresis (CE) • Detection • Mass Spectrometry • Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy

  28. Glycomics • Oligosaccharide • Glycoprotein/Proteoglycan • Proteins attached to oligosaccharides • Important to cell recognition • Cancer targeting • Influenza

  29. Model Organisms • Yeast (S. cerevisiae) • Worm (C. elegans) • Fruit Fly (D. melanogaster) • Mouse (M. musculus)

  30. Monitoring the System • High throughput monitoring of gene expression • Microarray • Protein microarray • GC/HPLC/MASS/Tandem MASS • Phenotype/Disease

  31. Microarray

  32. Protein Microarray

  33. Phenotypes • Lethality • Synthetic lethal • Developmental • Morphological • Behavioral • Diseases

  34. Genotypes and Phenotypes genotype + environment → phenotype genotype + environment + random-variation → phenotype

  35. Importance of Computer Models • Interactions in cell are too complex to handle by pen-and-paper • With high-throughput tools, biology shifts from descriptive to predictive • Computers are required to store, processing, assemble, and model all high-throughput data into networks

  36. Types of Computer Models • Chemical Kinetic Model • Defined by concentrations of different molecular species in the cell • Represented with a number of equations • Some processes may be stochastic • Simplified Discrete Circuit • Network with nodes and arrows • Nodes represent quantity or other attributes • Directed edges represent effect of nodes on other nodes

  37. Different Mathematical Formulations • Differential Equations • Linear (ordinary) • Partial • Stochastic • S-Systems • Power-law formulation • Captures complicate dynamics • Parameter estimation is computation intensive

  38. Model details • Selection of genes, gene products, and other molecules to be included • Cellular compartments: nucleus, golgi, or other organelles • Too much details may lead to more noises • Minimal model able to predict system properties (mRNA level, growth rate, etc) is sufficient

  39. Construct Model from Global Patterns • Microarray gene expression patterns: Up-regulated/down-regulated • Gene expression profiles under different conditions: Tumor/normal, cell cycle, drug treatment, … • Methods: • Bayesian Inferences • Machine learning (clustering, classification) • …

  40. Framework for Systems Biology

  41. Tools for Simulation • E-cell • Cell Illustrator • Virtual Cell • Standardizing efforts: • BioJake • SBML (systems biology markup language) • Facilitate the exchange of models

  42. E-Cell System • A software to construct object models equivalent to a cell system or a part of the cell system • Employing Structured Variable-Process model (previously called the Substance-Reactor model, or SRM) • Objects: • Variables, Processes, Systems

  43. Cell Illustrator

  44. Computational Databases • Protein-protein interaction • DIP, BIND, MIPS, MINT, IntAct, POINT, BioGRID • Protein-DNA interaction • TRANSFAC, SCPD • Metabolic pathways • KEGG, EcoCyc, WIT, Reactome • Gene Expression • GEO, ArrayExpress, GNF, NCI60, commercial • Gene Ontology

  45. Network Biology • The entities within a system form intertwined complex networks • Genes • Proteins • Metabolites • External factors…

  46. Gene (Transcription) Regulatory Network

  47. Protein-Protein Interaction Network

  48. Metabolic Pathways
