Other Glycolytic Pathways01:24

Other Glycolytic Pathways

1.1K
The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) operates in parallel with glycolysis, facilitating the metabolism of both pentoses and glucose. This pathway consists of two distinct phases: the oxidative and non-oxidative phases. While it does not directly generate ATP, the intermediates formed during the process can integrate into glycolysis, contributing to cellular energy metabolism when required.Oxidative Phase: NADPH ProductionThe oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway is primarily...

Respiration Pathways01:26

Respiration Pathways

887
Cellular respiration is a fundamental metabolic process that enables organisms to generate energy from organic molecules. One of its central pathways is the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, which plays a crucial role in energy production and biosynthetic processes.Conversion of Pyruvate to Acetyl-CoAThe pyruvate generated from glycolysis undergoes oxidative decarboxylation by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, producing acetyl-CoA, one molecule of NADH, and one...

Pharmacodynamic Models: Link Model and Systems Pharmacodynamic Model

74
The link model is a fundamental pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK–PD) approach to account for delayed drug responses when the observed effect does not immediately correlate with the drug's plasma concentration peak. This delay is mathematically addressed by introducing an effect compartment concentration, Ce, which is kinetically linked to the plasma concentration, Cp, via a first-order rate constant, ke0. The linkage allows for a more accurate prediction of drug effects over time. A...

Phase I Oxidative Reactions: Overview01:19

Phase I Oxidative Reactions: Overview

956
Phase I biotransformation, or functionalization, is a crucial chemical process that converts drugs and other xenobiotics into more water-soluble forms, facilitating expulsion from the body. It involves oxidative, reductive, and hydrolytic reactions that add or unveil polar functional groups on lipophilic substrates. Key players in phase I reactions are the mixed-function oxidases. Situated in liver cell microsomes, these enzymes predominantly carry out drug metabolism. They require molecular...

C4 Pathway and CAM01:27

C4 Pathway and CAM

50.2K
Most plants use the C3 pathway for carbon fixation. However, some plants, such as sugar cane, corn, and cacti that grow in hot conditions, use alternative pathways to fix carbon and conserve energy loss due to photorespiration. Photorespiration is the process that occurs when the oxygen concentration is high. Under such conditions, the rubisco enzyme in the Calvin cycle binds O2 instead of CO2, which halts photosynthesis and consumes energy.
C4 Pathway
The C4 pathway is used by plants such as...

Reaction Mechanisms: Rate-limiting Step Approximation01:29

Reaction Mechanisms: Rate-limiting Step Approximation

50
The rate-determining step, or RDS, in a chemical reaction is the slowest step that determines the overall reaction rate. It is identified by using the observed rate law and typically involves approximation methods like the RDS approximation or the steady-state approximation.In the RDS approximation, also known as the rate-limiting-step or equilibrium approximation, the reaction mechanism consists of one or more reversible reactions near equilibrium, followed by a slower RDS, and then one or...

  • Computational Biology
  • Systems Biology
  • Cancer Cell Signaling

Background:

  • Cellular signaling pathways are modeled as networks to understand signal propagation.
  • Network reconstruction algorithms, like nested effect models, are valuable but data-intensive.
  • Focusing on specific pathway aspects can overcome data limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To adapt nested effect models for analyzing specific aspects of Wnt signaling.
  • To determine if Wnt target gene activation in HCT116 colon cancer cells depends on Wnt ligand secretion or beta-catenin mutations.
  • To compare Wnt ligand-dependent and independent models using Bayes factors.

Main Methods:

  • Adapted the nested effect model framework to analyze Wnt signaling.
  • Formulated two competing model classes: Wnt ligand-dependent and Wnt ligand-independent.
  • Utilized Bayes factors to compare model evidence based on experimental data.

Main Results:

  • Bayes factors varied with the number of Wnt signaling target genes included.
  • Stability analysis indicated strong support for Wnt ligand-dependent models across realistic target gene numbers.
  • Wnt-dependent models demonstrated greater flexibility in network topology.

Conclusions:

  • The activation of Wnt target genes in HCT116 colon cancer cells is strongly dependent on Wnt ligand secretion.
  • The adapted nested effect model approach is effective for analyzing specific signaling pathway questions.
  • This study provides evidence favoring Wnt ligand-dependent signaling in this cancer context.
