IN SILICO MODELING OF THE REDOX METABOLISM IN HUMAN ERYTHROCYTES

Olga Dotsenko

Abstract


There was elaborated the mathematical model of erythrocytes metabolism, including glycolysis (Embden-Meyerhof pathway), pentose phosphate pathway, metHb restoration pathway, Н2О2 metabolism reaction. The final model includes 50 reactions and 60 metabolites. Within the model was studied the change of activity of some enzymes and concentrations of metabolites in stationary state, that take part in the processes of utilization of oxygen active forms and restoration of metgemoglobin, depending on amount of exogenous and endogenous Н2О2. There was demonstrated the threshold character of changes of the many studied parameters, that testifies that the cells can be practically in physiological state at the change of external conditions for rather long time.

There was carried out an assessment of redox-state of erythrocytes at oxidizing load: was demonstrated the change of EGSSG/2GSH, ENADP+/NADPH and ENAD+/NADH from the concentration of endogenous Н2О2. There was established that in the studied diapason of concentrations of endogenous Н2О2 was observed the high slope of the change of EGSSG/2GSH, that was not observed for ENADP+/NADPH and the other redox-pairs.

The results of modeling coincide with existing views on the functioning of enzymes of antioxidant protection in human erythrocytes and testify to the possibility of practical use of the model
