Phenotypic Equilibrium as Probabilistic Convergence in Multi-phenotype Cell Population Dynamics
We consider the cell population dynamics with $n$ different phenotypes. Both the Markovian branching process model (stochastic model) and the ordinary differential equation (ODE) system model (deterministic model) are presented, and exploited to investigate the dynamics of the phenotypic proportions. We will prove that in both models, these proportions will tend to constants regardless of initial population states ("phenotypic equilibrium") under weak conditions, which explains the experimental phenomenon in Gupta et al.'s paper. We also prove that Gupta et al.'s explanation is the ODE model under a special assumption. As an application, we will give sufficient and necessary conditions under which the proportion of one phenotype tends to $0$ (die out) or $1$ (dominate). We also extend our results to non-Markovian cases.

The phenotypic equilibrium of cancer cells: From average-level stability to path-wise convergence
The phenotypic equilibrium, i.e. heterogeneous population of cancer cells tending to a fixed equilibrium of phenotypic proportions, has received much attention in cancer biology very recently. In previous literature, som…
The overshoot and phenotypic equilibrium in characterizing cancer dynamics of reversible phenotypic plasticity
The paradigm of phenotypic plasticity indicates reversible relations of different cancer cell phenotypes, which extends the cellular hierarchy proposed by the classical cancer stem cell (CSC) theory. Since it is still qu…
Stochastic phenotype transition of a single cell in an intermediate region of gene-state switching
Multiple phenotypic states often arise in a single cell with different gene-expression states that undergo transcription regulation with positive feedback. Recent experiments have shown that at least in E. coli, the gene…
Diversity and coevolutionary dynamics in high-dimensional phenotype spaces
We study macroevolutionary dynamics by extending microevolutionary competition models to long time scales. It has been shown that for a general class of competition models, gradual evolutionary change in continuous pheno…
