Project description:This SBML file is a translation of a MatLab model utilized in
the following paper. It describes the interplay of IkB and P100 negative feedback to
control the cellular localization of the NFkB transcription factor in response to
activation of IkB Kinase 1 (IKK1) and IkB Kinase 2 (IKK2).

Introduction:
The original model was written and simulated within MathWorks
MatLab 2006a using the ode15s (stiff/NDF) solver. It is highly recommended
that those wanting to model this system use the MatLab version which we will
freely provide upon request. As always, simulation results vary according to
the numerical solver used. In addition, there are also shortcomings in the
Stimulation Phase of the model (listed below) that maybe resolved with future
versions of SBML.
-
SBML Generation :
Translation to SBML Level 2.1 was performed via reconstruction
of the model within MathWorks SimBiology Desktop (version 2.1)
followed by an Export to SBML.
-
Running the model :
Simulations require two sequential runs of the model. It is
recommended that you generate a script to pass the final component
concentrations from the first run into the initial concentrations of the
second.
1. Equilibrium Phase.- In both phases, total NFkB (0.125 micromole), IKK1 (0.1 micromole), and IKK2
(0.1 micromole) protein remains constant. These exist in free and bound forms.- Synthesis and degradation reactions are included for IkBa,
IkBb, IkBe, and P100 mRNA and protein.- Equilibrium state nuclear NFkB (NFkBn) levels for
combinations of IkB and P100 protein knockouts are included in the Cell
paper. Use these to validate whether your simulation time is long enough and
whether your solver is behaving properly.
2. Stimulation Phase.- The simulations of this phase have known shortcomings due to insufficient support by the SBML framework. These include
not being able to utilize an interpolation function and lack of delay functions (resolved in SBML 2.2, but not yet in the MathWorks SimBiology tool).
Resolution of these should enable recapitulation of the Stimulation Phase results shown in the Cell paper.- The model input signal is defined as activity profiles for
IKK1 and IKK2 (measured via biochemical assays). Profiles are included below
for Lympotoxin-Beta (LTB) activation of IKK1 and for Tumor Necrosis Factor
(TNF) and Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activation of IKK2.
- Combinations of IKK1 and IKK2 inputs are possible. In the
paper, a pulse stimulation with TNF (IKK2) followed later by LTB (IKK1)
stimulation was used.
- The activity profile encodes what fraction of the IKK is able
to mediate IkB and P100 protein degradation by acting as a rate constant
multiplier. Specifically....
ikk1_multiplier = IKK1(t) =
IKK1 active at time 't', where 1=
100%
pd_c_2pq
=
pd_c_2pq
* ikk1_multiplier;
pd_c_3pqn
=
pd_c_3pqn
* ikk1_multiplier;
ikk2_multiplier = IKK2(t) =
IKK2 active at time 't', where 1 =
100%
pd_c_2ai
=
pd_c_2ai
* ikk2_multiplier;
pd_c_2bi
=
pd_c_2bi
* ikk2_multiplier;
pd_c_2ei
=
pd_c_2ei
* ikk2_multiplier;
pd_c_3ain
=
pd_c_3ain
* ikk2_multiplier;
pd_c_3bin
=
pd_c_3bin
* ikk2_multiplier;
pd_c_3ein
=
pd_c_3ein
* ikk2_multiplier;
In the equilibrium phase, the ikk1_multiplier is 0.01 and
ikk2_multiplier is 0.001.
- IKK1 activation also regulates the translation rate of P100
and the nuclear IkB/NFkB association rates by unknown mechanisms. We include
this in the Stimulation Phase via a fold IKK1 activation multiplier.ikk1_multipler_tsl_asn = IKK1(t) / IKK1(t=0)
ps_c_p = ps_c_p *
ikk1_multiplier_tsl_asn
a_n_an = a_n_an *
ikk1_multiplier_tsl_asn
a_n_bn = a_n_bn *
ikk1_multiplier_tsl_asn
a_n_en = a_n_en *
ikk1_multiplier_tsl_asn
- The IKK profile interpolation does NOT work in the SBML
version.
Any ideas on how to
make it work are appreciated (contact Jeff Kearns). - In brief, the MatLab version takes in two arrays-- IKK
profile versus time -- to create a time-dependent IKK input function via
piecewise cubic interpolation. As this creates N-1 polynomials for arrays
with N datapoints, it is difficult to incorporate this into SBML via Rules or
Events.
It might be possible to
construct the interpolation function using the tools present in MathML.
The MatLab code is included below to
help anyone attempt this.

- mRNA synthesis (transcription) is comprised of a constitutive
process and an inducible process. This inducible process is dependent upon
the concentration of nuclear NFkB (NFkBn). We know from biochemical assays
that the inducible transcription of three of the components (IkBbt,
IkBet, and P100t) are delayed and we
included this delay strictly within the Stimulation Phase of the MatLab mocel
(not in the equilibrium phase).
This requires the value of NFkBn at a previous time point.
As SimBiology only supports SBML 2.1
(as of January 2007), the delay functions are NOT included in the SBML
model.
As tools include support
SBML 2.2, you can add these reactions.
IkBet = 45 minute delayIkBbt = 45 minute delayP100t = 90 minute delay
