This neurological insult results in the activation of the inflammasome, a multiprotein complex that processes pro-inflammatory interleukin (IL)-1 cytokines leading to morbidity and mortality. Moreover, increases in inflammasome proteins are associated with clinical deterioration in many neurological diseases. Limited studies have investigated inflammasome protein expression following aSAH. Reliable markers of the inflammatory response associated with aSAH may allow for earlier detection of patients at risk for complications and aid in the identification of novel pharmacologic targets. Here, we investigated whether inflammasome signaling proteins may serve as potential biomarkers of the inflammatory response in aSAH. Serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from fifteen aSAH subjects and healthy age-matched controls and hydrocephalus (CSF) no-aneurysm controls were evaluated for levels of inflammasome signaling proteins and downstream pro-inflammatory cytokines. Protein measurements were carried out using Simple Plex and Single-Molecule Array (Simoa) technology. The area under the curve (AUC) was calculated using receiver operating characteristics (ROCs) to obtain information on biomarker reliability, specificity, sensitivity, cut-off points, and likelihood ratio. In addition, a Spearman <i>r</i> correlation matrix was performed to determine the correlation between inflammasome protein levels and clinical outcome measures. aSAH subjects demonstrated elevated caspase-1, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein with a caspase recruiting domain (ASC), IL-18 and IL-1β levels in serum, and CSF when compared to controls. Each of these proteins was found to be a promising biomarker of inflammation in aSAH in the CSF. In addition, ASC, caspase-1, and IL-1β were found to be promising biomarkers of inflammation in aSAH in serum. Furthermore, we found that elevated levels of inflammasome proteins in serum are useful to predict worse functional outcomes following aSAH. Thus, the determination of inflammasome protein levels in CSF and serum in aSAH may be utilized as reliable biomarkers of inflammation in aSAH and used clinically to monitor patient outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":9743,"journal":{"name":"Cells","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11353247/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142079276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Polarity establishment is the first step in many cellular processes. For example, directed growth or migration requires the formation of a cell front and back. In many cases, polarity occurs in the absence of spatial cues. That is, the cell undergoes symmetry breaking. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that allow cells to break symmetry and polarize requires computational models that span multiple spatial and temporal scales. Here, we apply a multiscale modeling approach to examine the polarity circuit of yeast. In addition to symmetry breaking, experiments revealed two key features of the yeast polarity circuit: bistability and rapid dismantling of the polarity site following a loss of signal. We used modeling based on ordinary differential equations (ODEs) to investigate mechanisms that generate these behaviors. Our analysis revealed that a model involving positive and negative feedback acting on different time scales captured both features. We then extend our ODE model into a coarse-grained reaction-diffusion equation (RDE) model to capture the spatial profiles of polarity factors. After establishing that the coarse-grained RDE model qualitatively captures key features of the polarity circuit, we expand it to more accurately capture the biochemical reactions involved in the system. We convert the expanded model to a particle-based model that resolves individual molecules and captures fluctuations that arise from the stochastic nature of biochemical reactions. Our models assume that negative regulation results from negative feedback. However, experimental observations do not rule out the possibility that negative regulation occurs through an incoherent feedforward loop. Therefore, we conclude by using our RDE model to suggest how negative feedback might be distinguished from incoherent feedforward regulation.</p>","PeriodicalId":9743,"journal":{"name":"Cells","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11352540/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142079321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
