Systems Biology and Metabolic Diseases
2. Systems Biology
• Almost all parts of living systems are connected (networks)
• Data-driven modeling and model-driven experiments
• Understanding the dynamic functioning of these biomolecular
interaction networks
• Integration of different types of molecular data
/ biomedical engineering PAGE 219-8-2013
The Netherlands Platform for Systems Biology (SB@NL):
8 Dutch organizations, incl. Eindhoven-TU/e-BMT
3. What can Systems Biology do for Medicine?
• More data on patients can be produced than ever before
• But how efficiently can we use these data?
• What: P4 medicine - Predictive, Preventive, Personalized, and Participatory
• How: Systems Medicine
/ biomedical engineering PAGE 319-8-2013
Hood & Friend, Nat Rev Clin Oncol. 2011; 8(3):184-7
4. Systems Medicine
• ‘Systems Medicine involves the implementation of systems biology
approaches in medical concepts, research and practice,
through iterative and reciprocal feedback between data-driven
computational and mathematical models as well as model-driven
translational and clinical investigations and practice’
/ biomedical engineering PAGE 419-8-2013
5. Metabolic Syndrome (MetS)
/ biomedical engineering PAGE 519-8-2013
• Obesity: 33% of EU population
by 2030 (200 million individuals)
• A combination of related
disease phenotypes, such as
high cholesterol, disturbed
sugar metabolism and insulin
insensitivity
• Comorbidities: type 2 diabetes,
fatty liver, cardiovascular
diseases
• Costs of treating the
comorbidities > 100 billion
Euros per year beyond 2030

Medicine (Systems medicine: Applying
systems biology approaches for
understanding multifactorial human
diseases and their co-morbidities).
6. Systems Medicine of MetS
/ biomedical engineering PAGE 619-8-2013
• Multi-factorial and progressive
• Underlying molecular mechanisms
are not understood
• Intra- and intercellular networks
• Current research typically focused
on one component a/o comorbidity
• Dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis
• Dysglycemia and T2DM
• Interrelationships are poorly
understood
• Patients receiving statins to lower cholesterol
show a significant increase in incidence of
T2DM (Sattar N et al., Lancet. 2010;375:735-42)
• Identify network-based therapeutic targets aimed at restoring
lipid homeostasis and glycemic control in patients with
metabolic syndrome and associated comorbidities
7. Understanding effects of existing therapies
and interventions
• Clinical
− lifestyle change
− bariatric surgery
/ biomedical engineering PAGE 719-8-2013
Sjostrom L et al, N Engl J Med
2007; 357:741-52
• Preclinical
− effect of diet and exercise
− bariatric surgery
− pharmaceutical intervention:
statins, PPAR agonists, LXR
agonist
− genetic intervention: hepatic
insulin signaling (FOXO1)
Gastric bypass:
• Currently, the most effective therapy
for obesity
• An immediate, weight- independent
improvement of obesity-related
comorbidities before significant body
weight loss occurs.
8. The computational model
• Lipid and lipoprotein metabolism
• Coarse-grained when possible,
detailed when necessary

2.0: Tiemann et al, 2013, submitted

9. The computational method: ADAPT
• From phenotype ‘snapshots’ to an integrated description of
longitudinal changes in progressive diseases and therapeutic
interventions
• ADAPT (Analysis of Dynamic Adaptations in Parameter Trajectories)
• Linking phenotypes: modeling phenotype transitions with
parameter transition trajectories

11. Novel cholesterol lowering medication
• Liver X Receptor (LXR, nuclear receptor),
induce transcription of multiple genes
modulating metabolism of fatty acids,
triglycerides, and lipoproteins
• LXR agonists stimulate cellular cholesterol
efflux from pheripheral tissues (including macrophages)
• LXR as target for anti-
atherosclerotic therapy?
• Applied model + ADAPT to
identify and analyse effects
of treatment with synthetic
agonist T0901317
