Zhu2015 - Combined gemcitabine and birinapant in pancreatic cancer cells - mechanistic PD model

This model is described in the article:
Abstract:
Combination chemotherapy is standard treatment for pancreatic cancer. However, current drugs lack efficacy for most patients, and selection and evaluation of new combination regimens is empirical and time-consuming. The efficacy of gemcitabine, a standard-of-care agent, combined with birinapant, a pro-apoptotic antagonist of Inhibitor of Apoptosis Proteins (IAPs), was investigated in pancreatic cancer cells. PANC-1 cells were treated with vehicle, gemcitabine (6, 10, 20 nM), birinapant (50, 200, 500 nM), and combinations of the two drugs. Temporal changes in cell numbers, cell cycle distribution, and apoptosis were measured. A basic pharmacodynamic (PD) model based on cell numbers, and a mechanism-based PD model integrating all measurements, were developed. The basic PD model indicated that synergistic effects occurred in both cell proliferation and death processes. The mechanism-based model captured key features of drug action: temporary cell cycle arrest in S phase induced by gemcitabine alone, apoptosis induced by birinapant alone, and prolonged cell cycle arrest and enhanced apoptosis induced by the combination. A drug interaction term Ψ was employed in the models to signify interactions of the combination when data were limited. When more experimental information was utilized, Ψ values approaching 1 indicated that specific mechanisms of interactions were captured better. PD modeling identified the potential benefit of combining gemcitabine and birinapant, and characterized the key interaction pathways. An optimal treatment schedule of pretreatment with gemcitabine for 24-48 h was suggested based on model predictions and was verified experimentally. This approach provides a generalizable modeling platform for exploring combinations of cytostatic and cytotoxic agents in cancer cell culture studies.

MODEL1604270001_mechanistic.sedml | SED-ML file to produce a similar figure to figure 5J of the reference publication. Concentration of germcitabine and birinapant is set to 20nM and 500nM respectively with k_delay set to 18.6 as opposed to 36.8 and Sti_apo_g and Sti_apo_b set to 0 as values for these parameters could not be found. k_tau is also not used. If raw/non-scaled values of G1, S and G2 are plotted (that is, the 'species' values and not the scaled 'quantity' values) the simulated figure is much more similar to the figure in the reference publication. However, the y-axis is labelled as 'Cell Fraction' and supposedly scaled between 0-1. | 5.48 KB | Preview | Download |
