Black lines represent the profile likelihood. The parameter set of the optimum is indicated with a green dot. Red lines indicate the 95% confidence level. Blue lines indicate the global minimum of the parameter estimation process. The analysis revealed that all model parameters are structurally identifiable. The parameter p38_dea_const is practically non-identifiable. The parameter profile suggests that the parameter is compatible with zero; i.e. the constant dephosphorylation rate of p38MAPK is not relevant for our system.

Figure Lengend Snippet: In silico analysis (predictions) and experimental validation. A and C, contribution of kinases and phosphatases to signal amplitude and duration. Simulations of parameter perturbations that are reflecting changes in kinase and phosphatase activity are showing different effects on MK2 phosphorylation. The perturbation of the kinases was simulated by changing the parameter mk2_act_p38 by a factor indicated in the figure. This has mainly an effect on the signal amplitude of MK2 phosphorylation. The perturbation of the phosphatases was modeled by changing the parameter p38_dea_MKP. This affects both signal amplitude and duration of MK2 phosphorylation. B, SB203580 inhibited IL-1β induced MK2 phosphorylation. Primary mouse hepatocytes were treated with the p38MAPK inhibitor SB203580 for 30 min prior to treatment with 1 ng·ml−1 IL-1β. Whole cell lysates were applied to Western blotting analysis with a serial dilution of an internal phosphostandard, and phosphorylation of MK2 at Thr-222 was detected by specific antibodies. Signal intensities were determined and converted to intracellular concentrations. The data were fitted to the mathematical model (solid lines). D, inhibition of p38MAPK and MK2 dephosphorylation.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Comparative analyses between hepatocytes and macrophages. A, absolute concentrations. The concentrations of total and phosphorylated p38MAPK and MK2 were measured with the internal standard for different durations and concentrations of IL-1β treatment of macrophages (red) and hepatocytes (gray), respectively. The total concentrations are significantly higher in macrophages in comparison with hepatocytes. The criteria for significance were a two-way analysis of variance and post hoc pairwise comparisons of each IL-1β treatment condition of hepatocytes and macrophages, respectively, based on multiple two-tailed t tests. The p values were adjusted according to Bonferroni to account for the multiple comparisons problem. ****, p < 0.0001. B, kinetics. The kinetics of phosphorylated MK2 and p38MAPK were measured in macrophages and hepatocytes for different IL-1β inputs (points). For hepatocytes, the solid lines indicate the prediction of the calibrated model. For macrophages, the mathematical model was fitted to the measured macrophage data (solid line). C, model prediction of dose responses. Shown is relative phosphorylation dependent on the IL-1β input dose as predicted with the calibrated models.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic of the signal amplification within the IL-1β-induced p38MAPK and MK2 pathway in hepatocytes. Under basal conditions, only a small fraction of p38MAPK and MK2 is activated, i.e. 1.3 nm of 359 nm and 85.6 nm of 4637 nm, respectively. After treatment with up to 2.3 nm IL-1β, under saturating conditions, the concentration of phosphorylated p38MAPK and MK2 rises transiently to 40.6 and 1693 nm. Under subsaturated conditions, e.g. 57 pm, IL-1β induces an activation of approximately 21 nm p38MAPK via the IL1 receptor complex. This subsequently induces an activation of 1063 nm MK2.
