Chromosome compartmentalization replacement during stem cell differentiation

In this paper, changes in a large-scale 3D structure of chromosomes during stem cell differentiation is studied. The polymer coarse-grained model of a human interphase chromosome is introduced which reproduces the experimental Hi-C contact maps in chromosomes 12, 17 for both embryonic stem and differentiated cells with high accuracy. Model based analysis of Hi-C data suggests a mechanism of establishment of preferential long-range chromosomal contacts and compartmentalization replacement during cell stem differentiation. The model provides the conceptual basis for integration of data on the dynamics of chromatin interactions, the 3D structure of chromosomes and gene expression during stem cell differentiation or reprogramming.

Dose response relationships for gamma radiation induced chromosomal instability

Different cell lines demonstrate various dose response for radiation-induced chromosomal instability (RICI). To clarify the origin of differences we analyzed own and published data on RICI for four cell lines, V79, TK6, WTK1 and CHO-K1 on the basis of the mechanistic RICI model. We conclude that observable dose-response shapes, both plateau-like and strong dose dependent behavior, may be jointly explained by the same model of RICI. Mechanistic modeling reveals that a variation of certain set of RICI parameters leads to strong modification of dose-response curve.

Quantitative relationships for radiation induced chromosome instability: data analysis

The experimental observations demonstrate that different cell lines reveal various shape of dynamic curves for radiation-induced chromosomal instability (RICI). We analyzed our own and published data on RICI for three cell lines, CHO-K1, V79 and TK6, on the basis of the mechanistic RICI model. We demonstrate that all three dynamic curves can be successfully described by the proposed model with partially cell line specific parameters.

DNA Damage Induced Chromosomal Instability. Computational modeling view.

The origin of dose-response curves for radiation-induced chromosomal instability (CI) is studied using the mechanistic CI model. The model takes into account DNA damage generation and repair in the progeny of irradiated cells, cell passage through mitotic cycle, and intercellular signaling. It is shown that the dose-response curves are closely related to the dynamic curves. The principles underlying this relationship are analyzed.
