摘要:

观察到的不同颗粒沿轴突微管传递的速率的巨大差异的起源在文献中仍然是一个有争议的问题。有证据表明,某些神经退行性疾病可能是由相关运输过程的干扰引发的。出于这一动机,我们采用了一个模型来研究某些货物的流动性,动力学耦合的分子马达在拥挤的微管。对于一定的初始和边界条件,我们使用的方法的特征来解决微扰的伯格斯型方程对从平均场的方法,原来的微观随机模型。扩展的非微扰的限制数值探讨。在这种情况下,我们能够通过改变所考虑的轨道上的电机数量来计算货物平均速度可能相差几个数量级的条件。然后,我们讨论了连接这些理论预测与轴突运输的实验数据的可能性。

英文摘要:

The origins of the large differences observed to the rates with which the diverse particles are conveyed along axonal microtubules are still a matter of debate in the literature. There is evidence that certain neurodegenerative diseases may be triggered by disturbances to the related transport processes. Motivated by this, we employ a model to investigate the mobility properties of certain cargoes which dynamics are coupled with that of molecular motors on crowded microtubules. For certain initial and boundary conditions, we use the method of characteristics to resolve perturbatively the pair of equations of the Burgers type resulting from a mean-field approach to the original microscopic stochastic model. Extensions to the non-perturbative limits are explored numerically. In this context, we were able to figure out conditions under which cargos average velocities may differ up to orders of magnitude just by changing the number of motors on the considered track. We then discuss possibilities to connect these theoretical predictions with available experimental data about axon transport.
