Parmar2019 - Iron Mouse PV3 - tracer


ABSTRACT: Iron Mouse PV3 "A computational model to understand mouse iron physiology and diseases" By Jignesh Parmar and Pedro Mendes Parameter estimation using radioactive tracer data This is a dynamic model of iron distribution in mice, covering seven compartments: plasma, bone marrow, red blood cells (RBC), spleen, duodenum, liver, and the rest of the body . This is mostly a physiological model with regulation by hepcidin and erythropoietin, including only a minimal amount of molecular details. This version of the model includes normal iron species and radioactive-labelled tracer iron species. It was used specifically for parameter estimation using the data from Schümann et al. 2007 (see also Lopes et al. 2010 and Parmar et al. 2017) from three experiments of mice fed adequate, iron-deficient, and iron-rich diets. Mice in all three dietary regimes were injected with a radiactive tracer and its distribution measured along time. The model parameters were adjusted in order to minimize the distance of the model to the data of all three experiements simultaneously. Model validation was carried out with another version of this model where the radioactive species are ommited but all parameters remain with the values determined here (see accompanying model). The model is able to match the phenotype of several iron-related diseases.

A computational model to understand mouse iron physiology and disease.

It is well known that iron is an essential element for life but is toxic when in excess or in certain forms. Accordingly there are many diseases that result directly from either lack or excess of iron. Yet many molecular and physiological aspects of iron regulation have only been discovered recently and others are still elusive. There is still no good quantitative and dynamic description of iron absorption, distribution, storage and mobilization that agrees with the wide array of phenotypes pres  ...[more]
