Table 1. Summary of agents, data layers, and their interactions encoded in the ABM.
Substances in ABM | Cell Sources in ABM | Biological Functions in ABM |
---|---|---|
DAMPs | secreted by damaged Tissue cells | Chemo-attract and Activate Neutrophils |
TNF-α | secreted by Activated Neutrophils | Chemo-attract resting and M1 Macrophages, activate Macrophages to M1 state |
IL-1β | secreted by M1 Macrophages | Chemo-attract resting and M1 Macrophages, activate Macrophages to M1 state, at high levels activate Macrophages to M2 state |
TGF-β1 | secreted by M2 Macrophages | Chemo-attract resting and M2 Macrophages, activate Macrophages to M2 state |
ROS | secreted by Tissue Cells on Reperfusion, by Neutrophils on death | Injure Tissue Cells |
Oxidase | produced inside Tissue Cells during Ischemia | React with Oxygen to produce ROS |
Oxygen | released by Blood Vessels | Necessary for Tissue Cell health, react with Oxidase to produce ROS |
Substances are all encoded as Data Layers; Cells are all encoded as Agents, each with its own type. See Fig 1B for schematic.
