Optimal enumeration of state space of finitely buffered stochastic molecular networks and exact computation of steady state landscape probability.
BMC systems biology 20080329
<h4>Background</h4>Stochasticity plays important roles in many molecular networks when molecular concentrations are in the range of 0.1 muM to 10nM (about 100 to 10 copies in a cell). The chemical master equation provides a fundamental framework for studying these networks, and the time-varying landscape probability distribution over the full microstates, i.e., the combination of copy numbers of molecular species, provide a full characterization of the network dynamics.

Project description:Sleep dysfunction and stress susceptibility are co-morbid complex traits, which often precede and predispose patients to a variety of neuropsychiatric diseases. Here, we demonstrate multi-level organizations of genetic landscape, candidate genes, and molecular networks associated with 328 stress and sleep traits in a chronically stressed population of 338 (C57BL/6J×A/J) F2 mice. We constructed striatal gene co-expression networks, revealing functionally and cell-type-specific gene co-regulations important for stress and sleep. Using a composite ranking system, we identified network modules most relevant for 15 independent phenotypic categories, highlighting a mitochondria/synaptic module that links sleep and stress. The key network regulators of this module are overrepresented with genes implicated in neuropsychiatric diseases. Our work suggests the interplay between sleep, stress, and neuropathology emerge from genetic influences on gene expression and their collective organization through complex molecular networks, providing a framework to interrogate the mechanisms underlying sleep, stress susceptibility, and related neuropathology. Examination of genomic and transcriptomic networks in a random subset of 100 (B6xA/J)F2 mice modeling the natural spectrum of stress susceptibility.

Project description:AlfaOmega has been designed to streamline the study of the co-evolutionary landscape between tumor and host cells in a cohort of CRC patients, with the aim of understanding how their outcomes can be significantly improved (e.g. reduction of their chance of recurrence and survival improval). This clinical resource for integrative clinical data and sample collection will allow the molecular story-telling of CRC metastatic spread along time and space and the selection of appropriate patients for experimentally-driven trials.

Project description:Youfang Cao & Jie Liang. Adaptively biased sequential importance sampling for rare events in reaction networks with comparison to exact solutions from finite buffer dCME method. The Journal of Chemical Physics 139, 2 (2013).
Critical events that occur rarely in biological processes are of great importance, but are challenging to study using Monte Carlo simulation. By introducing biases to reaction selection and reaction rates, weighted stochastic simulation algorithms based on importance sampling allow rare events to be sampled more effectively. However, existing methods do not address the important issue of barrier crossing, which often arises from multistable networks and systems with complex probability landscape. In addition, the proliferation of parameters and the associated computing cost pose significant problems. Here we introduce a general theoretical framework for obtaining optimized biases in sampling individual reactions for estimating probabilities of rare events. We further describe a practical algorithm called adaptively biased sequential importance sampling (ABSIS) method for efficient probability estimation. By adopting a look-ahead strategy and by enumerating short paths from the current state, we estimate the reaction-specific and state-specific forward and backward moving probabilities of the system, which are then used to bias reaction selections. The ABSIS algorithm can automatically detect barrier-crossing regions, and can adjust bias adaptively at different steps of the sampling process, with bias determined by the outcome of exhaustively generated short paths. In addition, there are only two bias parameters to be determined, regardless of the number of the reactions and the complexity of the network. We have applied the ABSIS method to four biochemical networks: the birth-death process, the reversible isomerization, the bistable Schlögl model, and the enzymatic futile cycle model. For comparison, we have also applied the finite buffer discrete chemical master equation (dCME) method recently developed to obtain exact numerical solutions of the underlying discrete chemical master equations of these problems. This allows us to assess sampling results objectively by comparing simulation results with true answers. Overall, ABSIS can accurately and efficiently estimate rare event probabilities for all examples, often with smaller variance than other importance sampling algorithms. The ABSIS method is general and can be applied to study rare events of other stochastic networks with complex probability landscape.

Project description:Several individual miRNAs (miRs) have been implicated as potent regulators of important processes during normal and malignant hematopoiesis. In addition, many miRs have been shown to fine-tune intricate molecular networks, in concert with other regulatory elements. In order to study hematopoietic networks as a whole, we first created a comprehensive map of global miR expression during early murine hematopoiesis. Next, we determined the copy number per cell for each miR in each of the examined stem and progenitor cell types. As data is emerging indicating that miRs function robustly mainly when they are expressed above a certain threshold (~100 copies per cell), our database provides a resource for determining which miRs are expressed at a potentially functional level in each cell type. Finally, we combine our miR expression map with matched mRNA expression data and external prediction algorithms, using a Bayesian modeling approach to create a global landscape of predicted miR-mRNA interactions within each of these hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell subsets. This approach identifies several interaction networks comprising a “stemness” signature in the most primitive hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) populations, as well as “myeloid” patterns associated with two branches of myeloid development. Six populations of mouse hematopoietic stem and progenitors have been analyzed (LT-HSC, ST-HSC, MPP, CMP, GMP, MEP). 2-3 replicates are included for each sample.

Project description:As pluripotent human embryonic stem cells progress towards one germ layer fate, they lose the ability to adopt alternative fates. It is unknown how the cells’ competence for these alternative fates changes along their developmental trajectory or if this competence can be modulated. Here, we show that a differentiating stem cell’s probability of adopting a mesendodermal fate when given the appropriate signal falls sharply at a specific point along the ectodermal trajectory, and we further demonstrate that this point can be moved using genetic perturbations. Using a low-dimensional reaction coordinate to monitor progression towards ectoderm, we can determine the probability that individual cells at different points along this path can transition to the mesendodermal fate upon BMP4 and Activin A signal exposure. Knowing this probability allows us to prospectively isolate and profile differentiating cells based on their mesendoderm competence. Analysis and validation of these RNA-seq and ATAC-seq profiles identified transcription factors that can independently control the cell’s mesendoderm competence and its progression along the ectodermal developmental trajectory. In the classical picture of a Waddington landscape, these effects correspond to altering the barrier between fates and changing the cell’s location on the landscape, respectively. The ability of the underlying gene regulatory network to modulate these two aspects of the developmental landscape could allow separate control of the dynamics of differentiation and tissue size proportions.
