Abstract:
ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND:
Genome-scale metabolic reconstructions provide a biologically meaningful mechanis
tic basis for the genotype-phenotype relationship. The global human metabolic net
work, termed Recon 1, has recently been reconstructed allowing the systems analys
is of human metabolic physiology and pathology. Utilizing high-throughput data, R
econ 1 has recently been tailored to different cells and tissues, including the l
iver, kidney, brain, and alveolar macrophage. These models have shown utility in
the study of systems medicine. However, no integrated analysis between human tiss
ues has been done.
RESULTS:
To describe tissue-specific functions, Recon 1 was tailored to describe metabolis
m in three human cells: adipocytes, hepatocytes, and myocytes. These cell-specifi
c networks were manually curated and validated based on known cellular metabolic
functions. To study intercellular interactions, a novel multi-tissue type modelin
g approach was developed to integrate the metabolic functions for the three cell
types, and subsequently used to simulate known integrated metabolic cycles. In ad
dition, the multi-tissue model was used to study diabetes: a pathology with syste
mic properties. High-throughput data was integrated with the network to determine
differential metabolic activity between obese and type II obese gastric bypass p
atients in a whole-body context.
CONCLUSION:
The multi-tissue type modeling approach presented provides a platform to study in
tegrated metabolic states. As more cell and tissue-specific models are released,
it is critical to develop a framework in which to study their interdependencies.
