Dynamic Modeling and Analysis of the Cross-Talk between Insulin/AKT and MAPK/ERK Signaling Pathways

Abstract

Feedback loops play a key role in the regulation of the complex interactions in signal transduction networks. By studying the network of interactions among the biomolecules present in signaling pathways at the systems level, it is possible to understand how the biological functions are regulated and how the diseases emerge from their deregulations. This paper identifies the key feedback loops involved in the cross-talk among the insulin-AKT and MAPK/ERK signaling pathways. We developed a mathematical model that can be used to study the steady-state and dynamic behavior of the interactions among these two important signaling pathways. Modeling analysis and simulation case studies identify the key interaction parameters and the feedback loops that determine the normal and disease phenotypes.
