Atherosclerosis is the build-up of plaque on the endothelial monolayer of vascular tissues resulting from physiologic injuries. The endothelial monolayer supplies the signal transduction interface for blood-borne mechanical and chemical stimuli. Endothelial signalling is regulated by hemodynamic forces, one of which is shear stress. Here we have applied a computational systems biology approach in order to investigate, elucidate and be able to predict the molecular shear stress response in endothelial cells. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],We have developed a continuous mechanistic model of 245 ordinary differential equations resolving in total the dynamics of more than 700 molecular reactions under fluid flow induced shear stress. The systems of equations is assembled by translating all biochemical interactions into ODEs by following definition: is described by Incorporating all existing knowledge into the model still fails to match published experimental results. There is still interactions and responses to stimuli that we do not understand. Focal adhesion kinase acts downstream of integrin receptors, however its activation seems to be much faster than the one of integrins.

Simulations are run to test the influence of the new additions to the model. PECAM1 Further multivariate statistical and sensitivity analyses of simulation results are in process. Clustering, PCA, PLS and contribution analysis are sued to identify the molecular components and parameters that influence most the overall dynamic signature of the model. Pathway modules can also be identified according to their pattern of dynamic behaviour . After modifications the model predicts accurately the concentration of species (Integrins and FAK( both at steady state and after application of shear stress). Calcium dynamics.
