What is systems biology?What is systems biology?
Biological system – collection of interacting elements that carry out a specific biological task
• Can be interacting molecules; i.e. proteins, mRNAs, metabolites, or control elements of genes
• Can be interacting cells; i.e. immune system cells, hormonal network cells, or neuronal network cells
Systems biology – seeks to describe and analyze the complex interactions of components within the system and in relation to components of other systems
• Requires a cross-disciplinary approach – teams of biologists, computer scientists, chemists, engineers, mathematicians, and physicists

Four questions to guide thinking Four questions to guide thinking about biological systemsabout biological systems
What are the elements of the system?
• Use data sets generated by genomic and proteomic tools
What physical associations occur between the elements?
• e.g. Protein-protein, protein-DNA, cell-cell, etc.
What happens when the system is perturbed?
• Genetic or environmental perturbations
What gives rise to a system's emergent properties?
• Can sometimes be greater than the sum of individual components

Biology as an informational scienceBiology as an informational science
Biological information is hierarchical
In systems biology, information from as many different hierarchical levels must be captured and integrated
Digital genomic information has two types of sequences:
• Genes that encode protein and untranslated RNAs
• DNA sequences that are cis-control elements
All networks are dynamic – able to respond to conditions when activated

Gene regulatory networks control Gene regulatory networks control information transmissioninformation transmission
Gene regulatory networks receive diverse inputs of information, integrate and modify the inputs, then transmit the altered information to protein networks
Each gene has 3 - 30 (or more) cis-control elements
Some transcription factors control expression of two or more genes that encode other transcription factors
• May generate complex feed-forward and feedback regulatory loops
Complexity of a gene regulatory network is specified by the number of layers in each network and the number of genes in each layer

Multiple transcription factors regulate Multiple transcription factors regulate gene expressiongene expression
In this example, six transcription factors bind to six cis-control elements to regulate when, where, and how much mRNA from this gene is transcribed

The practice of systems biologyThe practice of systems biology
High throughput platforms for genomics and proteomics (Chapter 10)
Powerful computational tools
Studies of simple model organisms; e.g. E. coli and yeast

An algorithmic approach to systems biologyAn algorithmic approach to systems biology
Scan the biological literature and databases to discover all genes, mRNAs, and proteins in a cell or organism
Develop a preliminary model (descriptive, graphic, or mathematical)
Formulate a hypothesis-driven query and test through genetic or environmental manipulations
Integrate different types of graphical or mathematical data
Perform iterative perturbations with a second round of genetic and environmental manipulations
Evaluate whether the refined model can predict the behavior of the system

Systems approach to reveal the process of Systems approach to reveal the process of galactose utilization in yeastgalactose utilization in yeast
GAL 1, GAL 5, GAL 7, and GAL 10 genes encode four enzymes
One transporter molecule carries galactose into cell
Four transcription factors that turn the system on and off
Nine genetically perturbed yeast strains, each has a single gene knocked out, and a wild type strain
Global microarrays from cells grown in the presence and absence of galactose (all 6000 yeast genes)

Observations on systems approach to Observations on systems approach to galactose utilization in yeastgalactose utilization in yeast
More than 8 unexpected gene expression patterns were noted
Expression patterns of 997 could be clustered into 16 groups
• Each group had a similar pattern of changes in gene expression, some of which were known to be involved in other pathways
• Suggested that these other pathways were directly or indirectly connect to galactose-utilization pathway
Second round of analyses of protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions confirmed the interactions
For 15 genes, found evidence for posttranscriptional regulation

A systems approach to diseaseA systems approach to disease
Disruptions that result in disease may arise from mutated genes (e.g. cancer), or from infection by foreign agents (e.g. AIDS, smallpox, the flu)
Identification of biomarkers is a first step
• Molecular footprints - patterns of mRNAs and proteins in disease vs normal tissues/cells
Disease stratification may be identified
• Many diseases have different subtypes within the same general phenotype
• Improved diagnostic and treatment potential for different subtypes
Knowledge of protein interactions can identify drug targets

Prediction
• Individual genome sequence can be used to determine chance of developing a particular disease
• Blood fingerprints will allow early detection and stratification of disease types
New prevention strategies
• Better understanding of networks will lead to more effective therapeutic agents and drugs to prevent disease
Personalization
• Apply power of predictive and preventive medicine to individual needs
