Draft:ATM-Wip1 (Cancer) Oscillator Model


Introduction edit

The ATM-(p53)-Wip1 oscillator is a parametric relaxation type of oscillator model with polynomial and biologically-interpretable terms introduced to model the topological structure constructed by bistable dynamics of ATM protein and a long negative feedback loop mediated by Wip1 (the product of PPM1D gene) protein[1]. The ATM-Wip1 topological structure resembles the frustrated bistable unit that is known to produce oscillations as well as other modes of dynamics[2].

  •   represents ATM protein concentration levels in arbitrary units.
  •   represents Wip1 protein concentration levels in arbitrary units.

p53 protein (concentration) levels are not introduced as a dynamical variable; instead, it is assumed to follow ATM dynamics proportionally and algebraically under the quasy-steady state assumption for p53-Mdm2 interaction.

The constant parameters of the model are   and they take only positive values. The control parameters are   and  .   represents the damage severity and is restricted to  , with 0 representing no damage and 1 representing the most severe situation.   represents inversely the duration of the DNA repair and is controlled by proapoptotic genes via mechanisms similar to the "death by integration[3]". Normally,   stays at a high value indicated as   and decreased towards 0 as the repair continues [4].
