Modeling relaxation experiments with a mechanistic model of gene expression

Open access

Published version of a preprint

Abstract

Background: In the present work, we aimed at modeling a relaxation experiment which consists in selecting a subfraction of a cell population and observing the speed at which the entire initial distribution for a given marker is reconstituted. Methods: For this we first proposed a modification of a previously published mechanistic two-state model of gene expression to which we added a state-dependent proliferation term. This results in a system of two partial differential equations. Under the assumption of a linear dependence of the proliferation rate with respect to the marker level, we could derive the asymptotic profile of the solutions of this model. Results: In order to confront our model with experimental data, we generated a relaxation experiment of the CD34 antigen on the surface of TF1-BA cells, starting either from the highest or the lowest CD34 expression levels. We observed in both cases that after approximately 25 days the distribution of CD34 returns to its initial stationary state. Numerical simulations, based on parameter values estimated from the dataset, have shown that the model solutions closely align with the experimental data from the relaxation experiments. Conclusion: Altogether our results strongly support the notion that cells should be seen and modeled as probabilistic dynamical systems.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
