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 | TPC cell division (k3 > k1) (Hes1+ promotes growth) | |
2 | TPC → ∅ | TPC cell death (k6 < k4) (Hes1+ inhibits apoptosis) | |
3 | Hes1+ → 2 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+ |
