A synthetic gene circuit for measuring autoregulatory feedback control.
Autoregulatory feedback loops occur in the regulation of molecules ranging from ATP to MAP kinases to zinc. Negative feedback loops can increase a system's robustness, while positive feedback loops can mediate transitions between cell states. Recent genome-wide experimental and computational studies predict hundreds of novel feedback loops. However, not all physical interactions are regulatory,...
متن کاملSynthetic feedback control using an RNAi-based gene-regulatory device
BACKGROUND Homeostasis within mammalian cells is achieved through complex molecular networks that can respond to changes within the cell or the environment and regulate the expression of the appropriate genes in response. The development of biological components that can respond to changes in the cellular environment and interface with endogenous molecules would enable more sophisticated geneti...
متن کاملPiecewise Constant Feedback Control of Piecewise Affine Gene Network Models
The use of hybrid dynamical systems to model gene regulation is impelled by the switch-like behaviour of the latter. Piecewise affine differential equations is one of the most extensively studied among such kind of models. We propose an extension of this class, introducing some input variables. A special focus is given to degradation and production rates being affine functions of the inputs. So...
متن کاملInduction of experimental autoimmune Graves' disease in BALB/c mice.
We immunized BALB/c mice with M12 cells (H-2d) expressing either mouse (mM12 cells) or human thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) (hM12 cells). Immunized mice developed autoantibodies to native TSHR by day 90 and, by day 180, showed considerable stimulatory Ab activity as measured by their ability to enhance cAMP production (ranging from 6. 52 to 20.83 pmol/ml in different treatment groups relative to 1...
متن کاملAnticardiolipin Antibodies and Immunoglobulin M and A in Graves’ Disease
Background: Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disease, characterized by the presence of antibodies directed to TSH receptor or nearby regions as well as antibodies to double strands DNA (dsDNA) anticardiolipin and nuclear antibodies. This study evaluated anticardiolipin and rheumatoid factor, such as IgA and IgM antibodies in patients with Graves’ disease. Patients and methods: Anticardiolipin a...
