Multiscale and multicellular simulation of SARS-CoV-2 infection uncover points of intervention to evade apoptosis.
Summary:
Our framework enables the simulation of the dynamics of signaling pathways that include the relevant players in SARS-CoV-2 infection, at the level of the individual cell and of the cell population. These different players encompass the virus, epithelial and immune cells. The model focuses on apoptosis and suggests two knock out alterations that force apoptosis of the ...
Research in Systems Biology involves integrating data and knowledge about the dynamic processes in biological systems in order to understand and model them. By connecting fields such as genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, mathematics, cell biology, genetics, mathematics, engineering and computer sciences, Systems Biology enables discovery of yet unknown principles underlying the functioning of living cells. At the same time, testable and predictive models of complex cellular pathways and ...
An experimental workflow to provide detailed information of the molecular mechanisms of enzymes is described. This workflow will help in the application of enzymes in technical processes by providing crucial parameters needed to plan, model and implement biocatalytic processes more efficiently. These parameters are homogeneity of the enzyme sample (HES), kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of enzyme kinetics and binding of reactants to enzymes. The techniques used to measure these properties are ...

The COVIDminer text mining project (https://rupertoverall.net/covidminer/) reads the published literature concerning SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 to extract statements about (primarily molecular) interactions. Using the API associated with this project, putative interactors can be automatically retrieved for the existing COVID-19 Disease Maps. New interactions are prioritised based on their frequency in the literature and the topological importance of the interaction targets to provide a focussed set ...
We further used the transcriptome dataset from the GEO database with accession number GSE147507 (Blanco-Melo et al., 2020) to extract the series number 5 from the dataset, consisting of 2 conditions in triplicate, A549 cells treated with a mock and A549 infected with SARS-CoV-2, measured 24 hours after treatment. Phosphoproteomic data of mock-treated and SARS-CoV2 infected cells were extracted from (Stukalov et al., 2020). We then applied our pipeline described in M&M X. This work notably ...

We develop macrophage logical models to represent the activation/polarization of this immune cell. Interactions are manually curated with available macrophage literature. The models are mainly built and analyzed in GINsim. But other resources are used to integrate specific pathways or small modules (CasQ software) and to analyze the logical models (CoLoMoTo Notebooks).

The hallmarks of cancer provide a highly cited and well-used conceptual framework for describing the processes involved in cancer cell development. However, methods for translating these high-level concepts into data-level associations between hallmarks and genes (for high throughput analysis), vary widely between studies. In this investigation we compare cancer hallmark mapping strategies from different studies, based on Gene Ontology and biological pathway annotation. By analysing the semantic ...

Present in many industrial effluents and as intermediate of lignin degradation, phenol is a widespread pollutant causing serious environmental problems, due to its toxicity to animals and humans. Removal of phenol from the environment by bacteria has been studied extensively over the past decades, but only little is known about phenol biodegradation in hostile environments. We combined metabolomics and transcriptomics together with metabolic modelling to elucidate the organism’s response to growth ...

Governments and policymakers take different measures vis-à-vis the COVID-19 crisis, ranging from advice to reduce social activities, to a complete lock down of society and economy. To support them with tools that enable them to fulfill their tasks we constructed a differential equation model for the COVID-19 epidemics using systems biology methodologies.
