Computational Modelling of Aquaporin Co-regulation in Cancer
Abstract
A computational model of aquaporin regulation in cancer cells has been constructed as a Qualitative Network in the software BioModelAnalyzer (BMA). The model connects some important aquaporins expressed in human cancer to common phenotypes via a number of fundamental, dysregulated signalling pathways. Based on over 60 publications, this model can not only reproduce the results reported in a discrete, qualitative manner, but also reconcile the seemingly incompatible phenotype with research consensus by suggesting molecular mechanisms accountable for it. Novel predictions have also been made by mimicking real-life experiments in the model.
