Beyond Cancer Stem Cells: Understanding Cancer Heterogeneity Through Gene Regulatory Networks and Single Cell Analysis
2013
Journal of Stem Cell Research & Therapy
Here we provide intuitive thinking with systems biology view to explain the inevitable heterogeneity of cancer cells as an abnormal cell type driven by dynamics of gene regulatory network. ...
Mutational clonal evolution and cancer stem cell models could only partially explain the ubiquitous heterogeneous tumour cell population. ...
The regulatory interactions now impose heavy constraints on how the expression levels of individual genes can change, as a consequence, it maps mathematically in the highly constrained way in which the ...

Aligning functional network constraint to evolutionary outcomes
[article]
2018
bioRxiv
pre-print
number of protein interactions within a cell (gene pleiotropy) determines the fitness effect of mutations. ...
Genomic architecture, which describes how all gene products interact, has been discussed to be another dimension of functional genetic constraint. ...
Furthermore, proteins with many interactants may be constrained in the evolution of their functional sites to instances of co-evolution with the interactant genes, in order to maintain their functionality ...

A unified formal framework for developmental andevolutionary change in gene regulatory network models
[article]
2019
arXiv
pre-print
Evolution, by contrast entails genotypic change through the acquisition/loss of genes and changes in the network topology of interactions among genes. ...
We show how the realization of specific phenotypes can be controlled by gene duplication events (used here as an archetypal evolutionary event able to change the genotype), and how successive events of ...
Different models of mutation could be assumed, which in turn determine the minimum numbers of replicas the cell needs to acquire in order to change from one type to another. ...

Evolutionary Dynamics in Gene Networks and Inference Algorithms
2015
Computation
Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) are directed networks that define interactions (links) among different genes/proteins involved in such processes. ...
How the GRN modifies its topology, to properly drive a developmental process, and how this regulation was acquired across evolution are questions that the evolutionary dynamics of gene networks tackles ...
Dynamical rules and stochastic perturbations define the trajectories in the state space and determine their final states. ...
