Abstract

This paper demonstrates the first steps of a new integrating methodology to develop and analyse models of biological pathways in a systematic manner using well established Petri net technologies. The whole approach comprises step-wise modelling, animation, model validation as well as qualitative and quantitative analysis for behaviour prediction. In this paper, the first phase is addressed how to develop and validate a qualitative model, which might be extended afterwards to a quantitative model. The example used in this paper is devoted to apoptosis, the genetically programmed cell death. Apoptosis is an essential part of normal physiology for most metazoan species. Disturbances in the apoptotic process could lead to several diseases. The signal transduction pathway of apoptosis includes highly complex mechanisms to control and execute programmed cell death. This paper explains how to model and validate this pathway using qualitative Petri nets. The results provide a mathematically unique and valid model enabling the confirmation of known properties as well as new insights in this pathway.

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
