Short description
Kallenberger2014 - CD95L induced apoptosis initiated by caspase-8, wild-type HeLa cells (cis/trans-cis/trans variant)

The paper describes a new approach that combines single cell and population data in the same model. The model consists of a large number of single cell models, which are fitted to single cell data. Simultaneously, ensemble averages are fitted to population data. It is assumed that the kinetics in each cell can be described with the same kinetic parameters. Therefore, cell-to-cell variability is explained by variable initial protein concentrations.

There are four variants of the model (with [CD95L]=500ng/ml = 16.6nM), i) cistrans (in CD95-HeLa cells) [ MODEL1403050000 ], ii) cistrans (in wild-type HeLa cells) [ MODEL1403050001 ], iii) cistrans-cistrans (in CD95-HeLa cells) [ MODEL1403050002 ], and iv) cistrans-cistrans (in wild-type HeLa cells) [ MODEL1403050003 ].

These model contain the equations for one "average cell" with median initial concentrations for CD95, FADD, p55, BID, PrNES_mCherry and PrER_mGFP. By integrating the model, it should be possible to obtain trajectories for PrER_mGFP, PrNES_mCherry, p43 and p18 similar as in Figure 4A (CD95-HeLa cells) and Figure 4B (wild-type HeLa cells).

This model is described in the article:

Abstract:

Apoptosis in response to the ligand CD95L (also known as Fas ligand) is initiated by caspase-8, which is activated by dimerization and self-cleavage at death-inducing signaling complexes (DISCs). Previous work indicated that the degree of substrate cleavage by caspase-8 determines whether a cell dies or survives in response to a death stimulus. To determine how a death ligand stimulus is effectively translated into caspase-8 activity, we assessed this activity over time in single cells with compartmentalized probes that are cleaved by caspase-8 and used multiscale modeling to simultaneously describe single-cell and population data with an ensemble of single-cell models. We derived and experimentally validated a minimal model in which cleavage of caspase-8 in the enzymatic domain occurs in an interdimeric manner through interaction between DISCs, whereas prodomain cleavage sites are cleaved in an intradimeric manner within DISCs. Modeling indicated that sustained membrane-bound caspase-8 activity is followed by transient cytosolic activity, which can be interpreted as a molecular timer mechanism reflected by a limited lifetime of active caspase-8. The activation of caspase-8 by combined intra- and interdimeric cleavage ensures weak signaling at low concentrations of CD95L and strongly accelerated activation at higher ligand concentrations, thereby contributing to precise control of apoptosis.

Curator's comment:
(added: 14 Mar 2014, 12:55:25, updated: 14 Mar 2014, 12:55:25)
This model contain the equations for one "average cell" with median initial concentrations for CD95, FADD, p55, BID, PrNES_mCherry and PrER_mGFP. Figure 4B in the reference publication gives the simulation and experimental results of several cells (80 different cells). As this model is a "average cell" model, trajectories similar to that of Figure 4B has been reproduced, but for the ligand concentration of 500ng/ml (CD95L = 16.6nM (500ng/ml)). The simulation results are checked with the authors. The model was simulated using Copasi v4.12 (Build 72). The plot was generated using Gnuplot.
