Abstract
Lymphopoiesis is the generation of the T, B and NK cell lineages from a common lymphoid-biased haematopoietic stem cell. The experimental study of this process has generated a large amount of cellular and molecular data. As a result, there is a considerable number of mathematical and computational models regarding different aspects of lymphopoiesis. We hereby present a regulatory network consisting of 95 nodes and 202 regulatory interactions among them. The network is studied as a qualitative dynamical system, which has as stationary states the molecular patterns reported for CLP, pre-B, B naive, PC, pNK, iNK, NK, DP, CD8 naive, CTL, CD4 naive, Th1, Th2, Th17 and Treg cells. Also, we show that the system is able to respond to specific stimuli to reproduce the ontogeny of the T, B and NK cell lineages.
期刊介绍:
BioSystems encourages experimental, computational, and theoretical articles that link biology, evolutionary thinking, and the information processing sciences. The link areas form a circle that encompasses the fundamental nature of biological information processing, computational modeling of complex biological systems, evolutionary models of computation, the application of biological principles to the design of novel computing systems, and the use of biomolecular materials to synthesize artificial systems that capture essential principles of natural biological information processing.
