The etiology of AFB<sub>1</sub>-induced HCC involves the formation of highly mutagenic guanine lesions that can be repaired by a branch of the base excision repair pathway initiated by the DNA glycosylase, NEIL1. In a murine model, NEIL1 deficiency results in increased AFB<sub>1</sub>-induced mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. Previous analyses identified several defective NEIL1 variants in human populations, including the temperature-sensitive A51V and glycosylase-deficient G83D variants. Herein, we report AFB<sub>1</sub>-induced mutagenesis in mice expressing the A51V and G83D NEIL1 variants. Cohorts of 6-day-old <i>Neil1</i><sup><i>A51V</i></sup> and <i>Neil1</i><sup><i>G83D</i></sup> homozygous mice were injected with a single dose of AFB<sub>1</sub>, and frequencies and spectra of mutations were assessed in liver genomes 2.5 months post-exposure using duplex sequencing.

This work employed the Slob (2017) Effect Size (ES) theory to define robust BMR values for the in vivo transgenic rodent (TGR) and <i>Pig-a</i> mutagenicity endpoints. An extensive database of dose–response data was prepared and curated; BMD analyses were used to determine endpoint-specific maxima (i.e., parameter <i>c</i>) and within-group variance (i.e., <i>var</i>). Detailed analyses investigated the dependence of <i>var</i> on experimental factors such as tissue, administration route, treatment duration, and post-exposure tissue sampling time. The overall lack of influence of these experimental factors on <i>var</i> permitted the determination of typical values for the endpoints investigated. Typical <i>var</i> for the TGR endpoint is 0.19; the value for the <i>Pig-a</i> endpoint is 0.29. Endpoint-specific <i>var</i> values were used to calculate endpoint-specific BMR values; the values are 47% for TGR and 60% for <i>Pig-a</i>. Endpoint-specific BMR values were also calculated using the trimmed distribution of study-specific standard deviation (SD) values for concurrent controls. Those analyses yielded endpoint-specific BMR values for the TGR and <i>Pig-a</i> endpoints of 33% and 58%, respectively.

While some NAs are potent mutagens in vivo, in vitro metabolization with exogenous S9 liver extract is generally less efficient. While an enhanced bacterial mutagenicity protocol was recently developed, which uses increased concentrations of S9 liver extracts, there presently is not an improved metabolization protocol suitable for mammalian cell genotoxicity assays. Therefore, we optimized a hamster S9 liver extract-based protocol for in vitro NA metabolization and assessed the genotoxic potential of various NAs using ToxTracker. With this enhanced metabolization protocol (EMP), the genotoxic potency of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) increased approximately 200-fold compared with the standard S9 liver extract-based exposure protocol in ToxTracker.

In this study, we evaluated the genotoxic potential of two structurally related nitrosamines: N-nitrosomorpholine (NMOR) and N-nitroso reboxetine. Compared to the well-studied NMOR, there is little toxicological information available for N-nitroso reboxetine. Currently, both compounds have an acceptable intake value of 127 ng/day, based on a read-across using the available carcinogenicity data of NMOR. While both compounds tested positive in a series of in vitro and in vivo assays, we found that the mutagenic potential of N-nitroso reboxetine was significantly lower than that of NMOR. The benchmark dose (BMD) analysis of in vivo mutagenicity data supports an acceptable intake of 24,000 ng/day for N-nitroso reboxetine. Computational studies, carried out using the quantum-mechanical CADRE program, were consistent with in vitro and in vivo outcomes, suggesting an acceptable intake at or above 1500 ng/day for N-nitroso reboxetine. In comparison to NMOR, this prediction is supported by lower computed reactivity in the hydroxylation step, greater steric hindrance of the alpha carbons, and more facile proton transfer in the heterolysis toward the aldehyde metabolite. The data presented in this work can be used to refine and improve the Carcinogenic Potency Categorization Approach (CPCA).

Still, the upstream regulators of EV changes affected by PFAS exposure remain unclear. This study evaluated the hypothesis that PFAS exposures, individually and in a mixture, alter the expression of genes involved in EV regulation at concentrations comparable to genes involved in global biological response mechanisms. HepG2 liver cells were treated at multiple concentrations with individual PFOS, PFOA, or PFHxA, in addition to an equimolar PFAS mixture. Gene expression data were analyzed using three pipelines for concentration-response modeling, with results compared against empirically derived datasets. Final benchmark concentration (BMC) modeling was conducted via Laplace model averaging in BMDExpress (v3). BMCs were derived at an individual gene level and across different gene sets, including Gene Ontology (GO) annotations as well as a custom EV regulation gene set. To determine relative PFAS contributions to the evaluated mixture, relative potency factors were calculated across resulting BMCs using PFOS as a standard reference chemical. Results demonstrated that PFAS exposures altered the expression of genes involved in EV regulation, particularly for genes overlapping with endoplasmic reticulum stress. EV regulatory gene changes occurred at similar BMCs as global gene set alterations, supporting concurrent regulation and the role of EVs in PFAS toxicology.
