Problem Statement
Too many chemicals to test with standard
animal-based methods
–Cost, time, animal welfare
Need for better mechanistic data
-
What is human relevance
-
What is the Mode of Action (MOA)?
- What is the Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP)?

ToxCast Goals
• Identify targets or pathways linked to toxicity
–CChheemmiiccaallss ppeerrttuurrbbiinngg tthheessee ccaann lleeaadd ttoo aaddvveerrssee eevveennttss
• Develop assays for these targets or pathways
––AAssssaayyss pprroobbee “MMoolleeccuullaarr IInniittiiaattiinngg EEvveennttss” oorr “KKeeyy EEvveennttss” [[MMIIEE // KKEE]]
• Develop predictive models: in vitro → in vivo
–“TTooxxiicciittyy SSiiggnnaattuurree”
• Use signatures:
–Prioritize chemicals for targgeted testingg ((“Too Manyy Chemicals” pproblem))
–Suggest / distinguish possible AOP / MOA for chemicals

Understanding Success and Failure
• Why in vitro to in vivo can work:
–Chemicals cause effects through direct molecular interactions
that we can measure with in vitro assays
• Whyy in vitro to in vivo does not alwayys work:
• Pharmacokinetics issues: biotransformation, clearance (FP, FN)
• Assay issues: don’t have all the right assays (FN)
• Tissue issues: mayy need multi-tissue siggnalingg networks ((FN))
Systems
• Statistical power issues: need enough chemicals acting through a
Models
given MOA to be able to build and test model (FN)
• Compensation: system may adapt to initial insult (FP)
• In vitro assays are not perfect! (FP, FN)
• In vivo rodent data are not perfect! (FP, FN)
