– 从分子水平认识细胞组织的功能。• 基因调控网络与复杂性• 了解基因调控网络，对我们有什么启发？

问题与背景基因和蛋白质

Genes code for proteins that are essential for development and functioning of organism: gene expression

问题与背景基因表达的调控：〔不同层次〕

Gene expression controlled by proteins produced by other genes: regulatory interactions

问题与背景基因调控网络：

– Genetic regulatory network consists of set of genes, proteins, small molecules, and their mutual regulatory interactions 。

– Development and functioning of organisms cell emerges from interactions in genetic regulatory networks 。

问题与背景• 例子：

Choice between alternative developmental pathways controlled by network of genes, proteins, and mutual regulatory interactions 。

• 基因调控网络的复杂性– Large networks– Complex cells has many components that can interact in comple

x ways.– Dynamics processes are hard to understand by intuitive app

roaches alone.– Genetic regulatory networks have complicated interactions far bey

ond correlation of gene expression patterns.– Clustering cannot reveal causal connections between genes.

• 为什么需要数学建模与仿真？– precise and unambiguous description of network of interacti

ons– systematical derivation of behavioral predictions

问题与背景

问题与背景• 目标－－我们想知道：

– Which genes are expressed?When and where in the organisms?To which extent?

– Are there any universal laws?– Can we predict the evolution of the network?– How to predict the evolution of the network?

• Negative feedback– Gene encodes a protein inhibiting its own

expression– important for homeostasis, maintenance

of system near a desired state– Steady state analysis– Transient behavior simulation

模型： Nonlinear ODE

模型： Nonlinear ODE

• Positive feedback– Gene encodes a protein activating its own

expression.– important for differentiation, evolution

towards one of two alternative states of system

– Steady states– Transient behaviors

总结与展望

总结与展望• Computer tools for modeling and simulation will be

necessary to understand genetic regulatory processes

• Variety of approaches available, representing genetic regulatory systems on different levels of abstraction

• Choice of approach depends on aim of analysis and on available information:– knowledge on reaction mechanisms– quantitative data on model parameters and gene

expression levels• Serious applications are beginning to emerge
