Numerical experiments to determine the effect of factor V, which is at a much reduced level in follicular fluid compared to plasma, and thrombomodulin, illustrate the importance for further experimental work to determine values for several parameters that have yet to be reported in the literature.

Project description:This model is from the article: A model for the stoichiometric regulation of blood coagulation. Hockin MF, Jones KC, Everse SJ, Mann KG. Journal of Biological ChemistryVolume 277, Issue 21, 24 May 2002, Pages 18322 -18333 11893748, Abstract: We have developed a model of the extrinsic blood coagulation system that includes the stoichiometric anticoagulants. The model accounts for the formation, expression, and propagation of the vitamin K-dependent procoagulant complexes and extends our previous model by including: (a) the tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI)-mediated inactivation of tissue factor (TF).VIIa and its product complexes; (b) the antithrombin-III (AT-III)-mediated inactivation of IIa, mIIa, factor VIIa, factor IXa, and factor Xa; (c) the initial activation of factor V and factor VIII by thrombin generated by factor Xa-membrane; (d) factor VIIIa dissociation/activity loss; (e) the binding competition and kinetic activation steps that exist between TF and factors VII and VIIa; and (f) the activation of factor VII by IIa, factor Xa, and factor IXa. These additions to our earlier model generate a model consisting of 34 differential equations with 42 rate constants that together describe the 27 independent equilibrium expressions, which describe the fates of 34 species. Simulations are initiated by "exposing" picomolar concentrations of TF to an electronic milieu consisting of factors II, IX, X, VII, VIIa, V, and VIIII, and the anticoagulants TFPI and AT-III at concentrations found in normal plasma or associated with coagulation pathology. The reaction followed in terms of thrombin generation, proceeds through phases that can be operationally defined as initiation, propagation, and termination. The generation of thrombin displays a nonlinear dependence upon TF, AT-III, and TFPI and the combination of these latter inhibitors displays kinetic thresholds. At subthreshold TF, thrombin production/expression is suppressed by the combination of TFPI and AT-III; for concentrations above the TF threshold, the bolus of thrombin produced is quantitatively equivalent. A comparison of the model with empirical laboratory data illustrates that most experimentally observable parameters are captured, and the pathology that results in enhanced or deficient thrombin generation is accurately described.

Project description:This model is from the article: A mathematical model of lipid-mediated thrombin generation Bungay Sharene D., Gentry Patricia A., Gentry Rodney D. Mathematical Medicine and BiologyVolume 20, Issue 1, 1 March 2003, Pages 105-29 12974500, Abstract: Thrombin is an enzyme that is generated in both vascular and non-vascular systems. In blood coagulation, a fundamental process in all species, thrombin induces the formation of a fibrin clot. A dynamical model of thrombin generation in the presence of lipid surfaces is presented. This model also includes the self-regulating thrombin feedback reactions, the thrombomodulin-protein C-protein S inhibitory system, tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), and the inhibitor, antithrombin (AT). The dynamics of this complex system were found to be highly lipid dependent, as would be expected from experimental studies. Simulations of this model indicate that a threshold lipid level is required to generate physiologically relevant amounts of thrombin. The dependence of the onset, the peak levels, and the duration of thrombin generation on lipid was saturable. The lipid concentration affects the way in which the inhibitors modulate thrombin production. A novel feature of this model is the inclusion of the dynamical protein C pathway, initiated by thrombin feedback. This inhibitory system exerts its effects on the lipid surface, where its substrates are formed. The maximum impact of TFPI occurs at intermediate vesicle concentrations. Inhibition by AT is only indirectly affected by the lipid since AT irreversibly binds only to solution phase proteins. In a system with normal plasma concentrations of the proteins involved in thrombin formation, the combination of these three inhibitors is sufficient both to effectively stop thrombin generation prior to the exhaustion of its precursor, prothrombin, and to inhibit all thrombin formed. This model can be used to predict thrombin generation under extreme lipid conditions that are difficult to implement experimentally and to examine thrombin generation in non-vascular systems.

Project description:Nayak2015 - Blood Coagulation Network - Predicting the Effects of Various Therapies on Biomarkers Note: The SBML model is generated from SimBiology. The SimBiology (.sbproj) file is available for download from the curation tab. This model is described in the article: Using a Systems Pharmacology Model of the Blood Coagulation Network to Predict the Effects of Various Therapies on Biomarkers. Nayak S, Lee D, Patel-Hett S, Pittman DD, Martin SW, Heatherington AC, Vicini P, Hua F. CPT Pharmacometrics Syst Pharmacol. 2015 Jul;4(7):396-405. Abstract: A number of therapeutics have been developed or are under development aiming to modulate the coagulation network to treat various diseases. We used a systems model to better understand the effect of modulating various components on blood coagulation. A computational model of the coagulation network was built to match in-house in vitro thrombin generation and activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT) data with various concentrations of recombinant factor VIIa (FVIIa) or factor Xa added to normal human plasma or factor VIII-deficient plasma. Sensitivity analysis applied to the model revealed that lag time, peak thrombin concentration, area under the curve (AUC) of the thrombin generation profile, and aPTT show different sensitivity to changes in coagulation factors' concentrations and type of plasma used (normal or factor VIII-deficient). We also used the model to explore how variability in concentrations of the proteins in coagulation network can impact the response to FVIIa treatment.

Project description:Direct exposure to physiologically-relevant elevated temperatures during the first half of in vitro maturation heightens cumulus-derived progesterone production, suppresses matrix metallopeptidase 9 secretion, and alters cumulus transcriptome. We hypothesized that heat-induced perturbations in cumulus cells enveloping maturing oocyte may extend to the mural granulosa of the periovulatory follicle in the heat-stressed cow to subsequently follicular fluid proteome. Lactating Holsteins were pharmacologically stimulated to produce a dominant follicle then given GnRH to induce an LH surge. Following GnRH administration, cows were maintained at ~67 temperature humidity index (THI; thermoneutral conditions) or exposed to conditions simulating an acute heat stress event (71 to 86 THI; heat stress for ~12 h). Fluid was aspirated from periovulatory follicle ~16 h after GnRH. Follicular fluid proteome from thermoneutral (n = 5) and hyperthermic (n = 5) cows was evaluated by quantitative tandem mass spectrometry (nano LC-MS/MS). We identified 35 differentially-abundant proteins. Functional annotation revealed numerous immune-related proteins. Subsequent efforts revealed an increase in levels of the proinflammatory mediator bradykinin in follicular fluid (P = 0.0456) but not in serum (P = 0.9319) of hyperthermic cows. Intrafollicular increases in transferrin (negative acute phase protein) in hyperthermic cows (P = 0.0181) coincided with a tendency for levels to be increased in the circulation (P = 0.0683). Nine out of 15 cytokines evaluated were detected in follicular fluid. Heat stress increased intrafollicular IL6 levels (P = 0.0160). Whether hyperthermia-induced changes in the heat-stressed cow’s follicular fluid milieu reflect changes in mural granulosa, cumulus, other cell types secretions, and/or transudative changes from circulation remains unclear. Regardless of origin, heat stress/hyperthermia related changes in the follicular fluid milieu may have an impact on components important for ovulation and competence of the cumulus-oocyte complex contained within the periovulatory follicle
