Abstract:
The transduction time between signal initiation and final response provides valuable information on the underlying signaling pathway, including its speed and precision. Furthermore, multimodality in transduction-time distribution informs that the response is regulated by multiple pathways with different transduction speeds. Here, we developed Density physics-informed neural network (Density-PINN) to infer the transduction-time distribution, challenging to measure, from measurable final stress response time traces. We applied Density-PINN to single-cell gene expression data from 16 promoters regulated by unknown pathways in response to antibiotic stresses. We found that promoters with slower signaling initiation and transduction exhibit larger cell-to-cell heterogeneity in response intensity. However, this heterogeneity was greatly reduced when the response was regulated by slow and fast pathways together. This suggests a strategy for identifying effective signaling pathways for consistent cellular responses to disease treatments. Density-PINN can also be applied to understand various time delay systems, including infectious diseases.
