SUMMARY:Brenda Lyn Gavina\, Reduced model for female endocrine dynamics: Validation and functional variations
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss about “Reduced model for female endocrine dynamics: Validation and functional variations.” Mathematical Biosciences 358 (2023): 108979. \nAbstract \n\n\n\n\nA normally functioning menstrual cycle requires significant crosstalk between hormones originating in ovarian and brain tissues. Reproductive hormone dysregulation may cause abnormal function and sometimes infertility. The inherent complexity in this endocrine system is a challenge to identifying mechanisms of cycle disruption\, particularly given the large number of unknown parameters in existing mathematical models. We develop a new endocrine model to limit model complexity and use simulated distributions of unknown parameters for model analysis. By employing a comprehensive model evaluation\, we identify a collection of mechanisms that differentiate normal and abnormal phenotypes. We also discover an intermediate phenotype—displaying relatively normal hormone levels and cycle dynamics—that is grouped statistically with the irregular phenotype. Results provide insight into how clinical symptoms associated with ovulatory disruption may not be detected through hormone measurements alone. \n

SUMMARY:Seokjoo Chae\, Transcriptome-wide analysis of cell cycle-dependent bursty gene expression from single-cell RNA-seq data using mechanistic model-based inference
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss about “Transcriptome-wide analysis of cell cycle-dependent bursty gene expression from single-cell RNA-seq data using mechanistic model-based inference”\, bioRxiv (2024) \nAbstract \nBursty gene expression is quantified by two intuitive parameters: the burst frequency and the burst size. While these parameters are known to be cell-cycle dependent for some genes\, a transcriptome-wide picture remains missing. Here we address this question by fitting a suite of mechanistic models of gene expression to mRNA count data for thousands of mouse genes\, obtained by sequencing of single cells for which the cell-cycle position has been inferred using a deep-learning approach. This leads to the estimation of the burst frequency and size per allele in the G1 and G2/M cell-cycle phases\, hence providing insight into the global patterns of transcriptional regulation. In particular\, we identify an interesting balancing mechanism: on average\, upon DNA replication\, the burst frequency decreases by ≈ 50%\, while the burst size increases by the same amount. We also show that for accurate estimation of the ratio of burst parameters in the G1 and G2/M phases\, mechanistic models must explicitly account for gene copy number differences between cells but\, surprisingly\, additional corrections for extrinsic noise due to the coupling of transcription to cell age within the cell cycle or technical noise due to imperfect capture of RNA molecules in sequencing experiments are unnecessary. \n

SUMMARY:Dongju Lim\, Anti-Windup Protection Circuits for Biomolecular Integral Controllers
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss about “Anti-Windup Protection Circuits for Biomolecular Integral Controllers”\, bioRxiv (2023). \n  \nAbstract \nRobust Perfect Adaptation (RPA) is a desired property of biological systems wherein a system’s output perfectly adapts to a steady state\, irrespective of a broad class of perturbations. Achieving RPA typically requires the deployment of integral controllers\, which continually adjust the system’s output based on the cumulative error over time. However\, the action of these integral controllers can lead to a phenomenon known as “windup”. Windup occurs when an actuator in the system is unable to respond to the controller’s commands\, often due to physical constraints\, causing the integral error to accumulate significantly. In biomolecular control systems\, this phenomenon is especially pronounced due to the positivity of molecular concentrations\, inevitable promoter saturation and resource limitations. To protect against such performance deterioration or even instability\, we present three biomolecular anti-windup topologies. The underlying architectures of these topologies are then linked to classical control-theoretic anti-windup strategies. This link is made possible due the development of a general model reduction result for chemical reaction networks with fast sequestration reactions that is valid in both the deterministic and stochastic settings. The topologies are realized as chemical reaction networks for which genetic designs\, harnessing the flexibility of inteins\, are proposed. To validate the efficacy of our designs in mitigating windup effects\, we perform simulations across a range of biological systems\, including a complex model of Type I diabetic patients and advanced biomolecular proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers. This work lays a foundation for developing robust and reliable biomolecular control systems\, providing necessary safety and protection against windup-induced instability.
