LH/FSH-network 3 functions in post-translational modification, cell death and survival, and gene expression; and includes 35 nodes (genes; proteins).
Among the regulated genes, as over-represented functional annotations we found hematological, neurological and developmental diseases as well as post-translational modification, cell death, cell signaling and cellular proliferation (Table 3).
Cell-cycle modification and cell death were simulated as cellular responses.
Using this model, we have analyzed in detail the dynamics of populations of cells, particularly cell-cycle modification or cell death.
In this study, we improved our model to simulate the induction of DSBs, cell-cycle modification, and cell death arising in non-irradiated cells.
The model is based on a cellular automaton and consists of four components: (1) irradiation, (2) generation and diffusion of intercellular signals, (3) induction of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), and (4) cell-cycle modification or cell death.
We have previously developed a model framework for bystander effects on cell-cycle modification or cell death mediated by intercellular signaling through both the medium-mediated pathway and the gap junctional pathway [ 18].
Another important factor is the modification of apoptotic cell death pathways.
Nevertheless, the data from our study and Lawlor et al. shed light on the importance of ubiquitination in necroptotic signaling, which should trigger more investigations of the role of this posttranslational modification in inflammatory cell death pathways.

As shown in Figure 2, the proportion of cells representing early apoptosis (Q4 region, Annexin V+PI−), necrosis (Q1 region, Annexin V-PI+), and late apoptosis or necrosis (Q2 region, Annexin V+PI+) remained similar among different treatments after 24 h compared to the control, demonstrating that QDs with these kinds of surface modifications exerted no cell death to J774A.1 cells.
