Table 2. Kinetic formulation of the SCLC population dynamics model.

[X] is the population of cell type X; ∅ represents cell death.

Index Reaction Rate expression Description
1 TPC → 2 TPC (k1K2+k3[Hes1+]K2+[Hes1+])[TPC] TPC cell division (k3 > k1) (Hes1+ promotes growth)
2 TPC → ∅ (k4K5+k6[Hes1+]K5+[Hes1+])[TPC] TPC cell death (k6 < k4) (Hes1+ inhibits apoptosis)
3 Hes1+ → 2 Hes1+ (k7K8+k9[TPC]K8+[TPC])[Hes1+] Hes1+ cell division (k9 < k7) (TPC inhibits growth)
4 Hes1+ → ∅ k10[Hes1+] Hes1+ cell death
5 CD44+ → 2 CD44+ k11[CD44+] CD44+ cell division
6 CD44+ → ∅ k12[CD44+] CD44+ cell death
7 TPC → Hes1+ k13[TPC] TPC differentiation into Hes1+
8 TPC → CD44+ k14[TPC] TPC differentiation into CD44+
