ABSTRACT: Olsen2003_neutrophil_oscillatory_metabolism This model is described in the article: A model of the oscillatory metabolism of activated neutrophils. Olsen LF, Kummer U, Kindzelskii AL, Petty HR. Biophys. J. 2003 Jan; 84(1): 69-81 Abstract: We present a two-compartment model to explain the oscillatory behavior observed experimentally in activated neutrophils. Our model is based mainly on the peroxidase-oxidase reaction catalyzed by myeloperoxidase with melatonin as a cofactor and NADPH oxidase, a major protein in the phagosome membrane of the leukocyte. The model predicts that after activation of a neutrophil, an increase in the activity of the hexose monophosphate shunt and the delivery of myeloperoxidase into the phagosome results in oscillations in oxygen and NAD(P)H concentration. The period of oscillation changes from >200 s to 10-30 s. The model is consistent with previously reported oscillations in cell metabolism and oxidant production. Key features and predictions of the model were confirmed experimentally. The requirement of the hexose monophosphate pathway for 10 s oscillations was verified using 6-aminonicotinamide and dexamethasone, which are inhibitors of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. The role of the NADPH oxidase in promoting oscillations was confirmed by dose-response studies of the effect of diphenylene iodonium, an inhibitor of the NADPH oxidase. Moreover, the model predicted an increase in the amplitude of NADPH oscillations in the presence of melatonin, which was confirmed experimentally. Successful computer modeling of complex chemical dynamics within cells and their chemical perturbation will enhance our ability to identify new antiinflammatory compounds.

Project description:Oscillatory phenomena are ubiquitous across different biological scales, from individual cells to tissues and whole organisms. In physical systems, oscillatory behaviour can emerge from weak coupling of independent stochastic elements. Once established, oscillations can drive coordinated group behaviour and encode robust information through oscillation frequency or amplitude. Here we use experimentation and modelling to understand the emergence and information coding properties of oscillatory cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling in D. discoideum. Oscillatory cAMP signaling drives aggregation of individual amoebae and coordinated temporal shifts in gene expression. However, it is unknown how the collective behaviour emerges and attenuates in an auto-regulatory manner where temporal transcriptional regulation must decode variation in cAMP pulse count, frequency, or amplitude. To address these questions, we identified a transcription factor, Hbx5, that is essential for the initiation of collective behaviour and its activity provides a single-cell readout of the earliest sign of cAMP signaling. This reveals stochastic pulses in cAMP signaling precede collective oscillations, with Hbx5 dependent transcriptional feedback enhancing signal sensitivity necessary for the emergence of collective oscillations. We demonstrate that once collective oscillations have been established, another cAMP-regulated transcription factor, GtaC, required for subsequent developmental progression becomes activated. Modelling and experimentation suggest that temporal differences in transcription factor activation arise from differences in the threshold at which the protein kinase, ErkB, influences their activity. This leads us to propose that changes in the amplitude of cAMP oscillations during development encode temporal information, driving the orderly progression of development. These studies thus provide crucial insights into the principles driving collective behaviour and the evolution of multicellular systems.
