摘要

Due to the variability of protein expression, cells of the same population can exhibit different responses to stimuli. It is important to understand this heterogeneity at the individual level, as population averages mask these underlying differences. Using computational modeling, we can interrogate a system much more precisely than by using experiments alone, in order to learn how the expression of each protein affects a biological system. Here, we examine a mechanistic model of CAR T cell signaling, which connects receptor-antigen binding to MAPK activation, to determine intracellular modulations that can increase cellular response. CAR T cell cancer therapy involves removing a patient's T cells, modifying them to express engineered receptors that can bind to tumor-associated antigens to promote tumor cell killing, and then injecting the cells back into the patient. This population of cells, like all cell populations, would have heterogeneous protein expression, which could affect the efficacy of treatment. Thus, it is important to examine the effects of cell-to-cell heterogeneity. We first generated a dataset of simulated cell responses via Monte Carlo simulations of the mechanistic model, where the initial protein concentrations were randomly sampled. We analyzed the dataset using partial least-squares modeling to determine the relationships between protein expression and ERK phosphorylation, the output of the mechanistic model. Using this data-driven analysis, we found that only the expressions of proteins relating directly to the receptor and the MAPK cascade, the beginning and end of the network, respectively, are relevant to the cells' response. We also found, surprisingly, that increasing the amount of receptor present can actually inhibit the cell's ability to respond due to increasing the strength of negative feedback from phosphatases. Overall, we have combined data-driven and mechanistic modeling to generate detailed insight into CAR T cell signaling. (C) 2019 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd.
