ABSTRACT: This the model used in the article: Quantitative analysis of pathways controlling extrinsic apoptosis in single cells. Albeck JG, Burke JM, Aldridge BB, Zhang M, Lauffenburger DA, Sorger PK. Mol Cell. 2008 Apr 11;30(1):11-25. PMID: 18406323 , doi: 10.1016/j.molcel.2008.02.012 Abstract: Apoptosis in response to TRAIL or TNF requires the activation of initiator caspases, which then activate the effector caspases that dismantle cells and cause death. However, little is known about the dynamics and regulatory logic linking initiators and effectors. Using a combination of live-cell reporters, flow cytometry, and immunoblotting, we find that initiator caspases are active during the long and variable delay that precedes mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP) and effector caspase activation. When combined with a mathematical model of core apoptosis pathways, experimental perturbation of regulatory links between initiator and effector caspases reveals that XIAP and proteasome-dependent degradation of effector caspases are important in restraining activity during the pre-MOMP delay. We identify conditions in which restraint is impaired, creating a physiologically indeterminate state of partial cell death with the potential to generate genomic instability. Together, these findings provide a quantitative picture of caspase regulatory networks and their failure modes. The mitochondrial compartment is just added as a logical partition and its volume is not used in the mathematical formulas, to stick closer to the expressions used in the matlab files distributed with the original publication. There only the rate constants for bimolecular reactions are adapted by division by v , the ration of the volumes of the mitochondrial compartment and the total cell. For BCL2 overexpression in figure 5, the initial BCL2 amount was increased by a factor 12 to 2.4*10 5 . For siRNA downregulation of XIAP its amount was multiplied by 0.13 to 1.3*10 4 .

Project description:Different types of cell death, including apoptosis, play an important role in the immune defense of arthropods, as infected cells are eliminated, preventing the dissemination of the infectious agent throughout the animal body. The apoptosis can be triggered by two main pathways: the intrinsic or mitochondrial pathway and the extrinsic or death receptor pathway. Both culminate in the activation of the effector caspases, such as caspase-3, resulting, for instance in DNA fragmentation and exposition of markers on the surface of the apoptotic cell, allowing its recognition and elimination by phagocytic cells. To ensure survival and proliferation, microorganisms can inhibit apoptosis of the host cell. The differential proteome of a tick cell line (BME26) in response to an experimental infection with Rickettsia rickettsii, causative agent of the severe Rocky Mountain spotted fever, showed that pro-apoptotic proteins are downregulated in the beginning of infection (6 h) and upregulated in a later time-point (48 h). We therefore evaluated the effects of infection on classic features of apoptotic cells: the spontaneous fragmentation of gDNA and the activity of caspase-3 and the exposition of phosphatidylserine in BME26 cells after induction with staurosporine, a classic activator of apoptosis. The spontaneous fragmentation of DNA was observed exclusively in non-infected cells. In addition, the activity of caspase-3 and the exposition of phosphatidylserine is lower in infected than in non-infected cells. Caspase-3 activity is also lower in infected IBU/ASE-16 cells, an embryonic tick cell line of one primary vector of R. rickettsii in Brazil, Amblyomma sculptum. Importantly, while the activation of caspase-3 exerted a detrimental effect on rickettsial proliferation in BME26 cells, the enzyme inhibition increased bacterial growth. Together, our results suggest that R. rickettsii controls the apoptosis in tick cells, which seems to be important to ensure the colonization of the vector cell. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the modulation of the apoptosis in a tick cell line upon the infection with a species of the genus Rickettsia.

Project description:This is the standard model described in the article: Systems analysis of effector caspase activation and its control by X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein. Rehm M, Huber HJ, Dussmann H, Prehn JH. EMBO J. 2006 Sep 20;25(18):4338-49. Epub 2006 Aug 24. PMID:16932741, doi:10.1038/sj.emboj.7601295; Abstract: Activation of effector caspases is a final step during apoptosis. Single-cell imaging studies have demonstrated that this process may occur as a rapid, all-or-none response, triggering a complete substrate cleavage within 15 min. Based on biochemical data from HeLa cells, we have developed a computational model of apoptosome-dependent caspase activation that was sufficient to remodel the rapid kinetics of effector caspase activation observed in vivo. Sensitivity analyses predicted a critical role for caspase-3-dependent feedback signalling and the X-linked-inhibitor-of-apoptosis-protein (XIAP), but a less prominent role for the XIAP antagonist Smac. Single-cell experiments employing a caspase fluorescence resonance energy transfer substrate verified these model predictions qualitatively and quantitatively. XIAP was predicted to control this all-or-none response, with concentrations as high as 0.15 microM enabling, but concentrations >0.30 microM significantly blocking substrate cleavage. Overexpression of XIAP within these threshold concentrations produced cells showing slow effector caspase activation and submaximal substrate cleavage. Our study supports the hypothesis that high levels of XIAP control caspase activation and substrate cleavage, and may promote apoptosis resistance and sublethal caspase activation in vivo. This model is slightly altered from the description in the article. Cytochrome C and SMAC release from the mitochondrion is modelled as simple first order kinetics, giving the same form as the (integrated) equations in the supplement of the article. The apoptosome formation is modelled equally - and independent of the Cytochrome C release. The speed is either limited by the Apaf1 or ProCaspase9 concentration, whichever is higher, symbolised via the parameter with the ID apolim. Also, once the substrate concentration falls below 1 percent, the event Production_Breakdown is triggered, leading to a breakdown of XIAP and procaspase3 production and turning off of the enhanced/proteosomal degradation (degradation rate for reactions 38,39,40,43,44,46,48,50,51 changes from 0.0347 to 0.0058).

Project description:Kallenberger2014 - CD95L induced apoptosis initiated by caspase-8, wild-type HeLa cells (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: Intra- and Interdimeric Caspase-8 Self-Cleavage Controls Strength and Timing of CD95-Induced Apoptosis Stefan M. Kallenberger, Joël Beaudouin, Juliane Claus, Carmen Fischer, Peter K. Sorger, Stefan Legewie, and Roland Eils 11 March 2014: Vol. 7, Issue 316, p. ra23 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.
