✦ Synopsis

A mathematical model of regulation of the G1-S transition of the mammalian cell cycle has been formulated to organize available experimental molecular-level information in a systematic quantitative framework and to evaluate the ability of this manifestation of current knowledge to calculate correctly experimentally observed phenotypes. This model includes nine components and includes cyclin-cdk complexes, a pocket protein (pRb), a transcription factor (E2F-1), and a cyclin-cdk complex inhibitor. Simulation of the model equations yields stable oscillatory solutions corresponding to cell proliferation and asymptotically stable solutions corresponding to cell cycle arrest (quiescence). Bifurcation analysis of the system suggests changes in the intracellular concentrations of either E2F or cyclin E can activate cell proliferation and that co-overexpression of these molecules can prevent cell proliferation. Further analysis suggests that the amount of inhibitor necessary to prevent cell proliferation is independent of the concentrations of cyclin E and E2F and depends only on the equilibrium ratio between the bound and unbound forms of the inhibitor to the complex.
