3 PART 1 : Metabolic flux analysis and minimal bioreaction modelling Growth of CHO cells in a serum-free medium Substrates Glucose CELLS Lactate Alanine Products Glutamine NH4 CO2

4 The basic issue Growth of CHO cells in a serum-free medium Substrates Glucose CELLS Lactate Alanine Products Glutamine NH4 CO2 Question : What is the minimal set of input-output bioreactions? consistent with cell metabolism explaining measurements in the culture medium

5 Outline 1. Metabolic network and stoichiometric matrix 2. Convex basis and elementary pathways 3. From elementary pathways to bioreactions 4. Experimental data and metabolic flux analysis 5. Computation of minimal sets of bioreactions 6. Final remarks

6 Metabolic network inputs outputs intracellular intermediate metabolites

7 Intracellular biochemical reaction

8 Metabolic network Remark 1 : for the sake of clarity, this is a simplified example representing only the metabolism of «energetic substrates» Glucose inputsand Glutamine. Metabolism of amino-acids is not considered. But outputs the methodology applies to more complex networks as we shall see in Part II. intracellular intermediate metabolites

9 Metabolic network Remark inputs2 : Only internal nodes that are at «branching points» (no loss of generality). outputs intracellular intermediate metabolites

10 Glycolysis

11 Metabolic network metabolic flux stoichiometric coefficient

12 Stoichiometric matrix N (= incidence matrix of the network) internal nodes Glucose 6-P Dihydro-Ac-3P Ribose-5-P Glyc-3-P Pyruvate Acetyl-coA Citrate Alpha-ketoglut Fumarate Malate Oxaloacetate Aspartate Glutamate CO2 Metabolic fluxes

14 Stoichiometric matrix N The set of non-negative vectors of the kernel of N is a polyhedral cone in the non-negative orthant

15 Stoichiometric matrix Convex basis The convex basis is the set of edges of the cone matrix E

16 Elementary pathway Metabolic interpretation of convex basis

17 Elementary pathway Remark 3. In the literature, «Elementary pathways» are also called : «Elementary (flux) modes» or «Extreme pathways».

18 Elementary pathway C 6 H 12 O 6! 2 C 3 H 6 O 3

44 Results : Glycolysis fluxes 49

45 Results :TCA-cycle fluxes 50

46 Final remarks 1. Dynamical model under pseudo-steady-state assumption of metabolic flux analysis = order reduction by singular perturbation. 2. «Minimal» must be understood as «data compression»: there is no loss of information in the «minimal model» with respect to the initial metabolic network. 3. Combinatorial explosion. In «Zamorano et al., an example of CHO cells where the network involves elementary pathways and leads to equivalent minimal models!. but each minimal model includes only 22 bioreactions and the polyhedral cone for the interval metabolic flux analysis has only 32 edges. Combinatorial explosion of the number of elementary pathways is not an issue because these 22 bioreactions and 32 edges can be computed directly!
