The skin is the largest structure in the body and acts as the ultimate barrier to our environment. The aim of this project is to comprehend how the lipid network within the skin responds in physiopathological states such as inflammation (sunburn, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis). Little is known about the regulatory relationships within the cutaneous lipid signalling networks, and there is a distinct lack of information about how these networks interact between compartments (the different layers of the skin).

Furthermore, there is a need to incorporate novel approaches to the parameterisation and simulation of metabolic models, in order to quantify the uncertainty associated with literature data and indicate the robustness of each prediction <ref>Tsigkinopoulou, A. Hawari, A. Uttley, M. Breitling, R., ''Defining informative priors for ensemble modeling in systems biology'', Nat Protoc (2018), 13, 2643-2663.</ref>. The main aim of this project is to construct, analyse and validate a predictive and adaptable metabolic model of the AA cascade. To use this model to investigate how the concentration of metabolites change over time following internal/external perturbations, we need to utilise a kinetic deterministic modelling approach. This work will build upon the previous models of the AA cascade and support researchers across the biosciences to gain a better understanding of pathways by incorporating means of adapting the model to represent different cell types. We will demonstrate the application of this work in immortalised human cell lines, HaCaT keratinocytes and 46BR.1N fibroblasts as they are shown to produce different eicosanoids, availabilities of AA, protein profiles and response to inflammatory stimuli.
We aim to create a quantitative computational model of the cutaneous lipid signalling networks, including variables such as multiple lipid substrates and enzyme isoforms.  
 
Model construction will be guided by literature studies, combined with new experimental lipidomics data collected in this project. In order to analyse model properties, experimental studies such as altering the systemic availability of fatty acids and the effect upon the anti-inflammatory milieu will be measured. This information will be integrated into the model to obtain estimated kinetic parameter values and also to validate and refine the overall model topology.
 
The resulting mathematical model will be testable and predictive of the lipid responses during inflammation. The insights obtained will allow for more targeted experiments to be designed in order to better understand skin lipid biology and to aid in the mapping of lipid networks contributing to inflammation. This will ultimately support the design of interventional studies to combat skin disease.

Description of the Model

Computational models have been demonstrated as useful tools to gain a better understanding of networks, aid rational decision-making and support research across the biosciences[1][2][3]. Due to the complexity of the AA cascade, predicting the outcome of the network is difficult due to the collaborative action of numerous species (i.e. metabolites, proteins, signalling cascades). In addition, the AA cascade is ubiquitous and is implicated in numerous inflammatory diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis and asthma [4][5] [6][7]; as a result, the production of eicosanoids is the targets of several pharmacological interventions.Therefore, there is a need to utilise a systems-level approach to further investigate the bioactive AA cascade. This can be achieved by building upon previous models of the AA cascade [8][9][10] and creating a new model which addresses the gaps in the literature such as an extensive network topology, the use of experimental parameters, documentation of parameter sources, integration of data from multiple platforms and application beyond a single cell type.

Furthermore, there is a need to incorporate novel approaches to the parameterisation and simulation of metabolic models, in order to quantify the uncertainty associated with literature data and indicate the robustness of each prediction [11]. The main aim of this project is to construct, analyse and validate a predictive and adaptable metabolic model of the AA cascade. To use this model to investigate how the concentration of metabolites change over time following internal/external perturbations, we need to utilise a kinetic deterministic modelling approach. This work will build upon the previous models of the AA cascade and support researchers across the biosciences to gain a better understanding of pathways by incorporating means of adapting the model to represent different cell types. We will demonstrate the application of this work in immortalised human cell lines, HaCaT keratinocytes and 46BR.1N fibroblasts as they are shown to produce different eicosanoids, availabilities of AA, protein profiles and response to inflammatory stimuli.
