TitleA parameter estimation approach to form a preliminary model describing the transcriptomic and proteomic dynamics in rat liver from a dose of corticosteroid
DescriptionSynthetic glucocorticoids are used widely in medicine for its effective anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effect. However, they have fairly negative adverse effects especially when used in the long term. Better understanding of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) will provide better insights to their mechanism of action helping us to optimize its use as a clinical therapy. The onset of gene microarray presents quantitatively large data sets that can be very cumbersome to analyze. A parameter estimation approach using optimization methods can be used in order to help shape a PK/PD model for describing the transcriptomic and proteomic changes from CS. In this study, parameter estimation was used to form a preliminary model of the transcriptomic and proteomic gene interaction in rat liver from a dose of methylprednisolone (MPL), a commonly used synthetic glucocorticoid.
