Any compromise in fetal membrane function can predispose a pregnant woman to prelabor rupture of the membranes (pPROM) and subsequently to preterm birth (PTB). Epidemiologic data suggest that lead exposure during pregnancy is one of several risk factors associated with PTB and pPROM. This heavy metal can cross placental and fetal membrane barriers, disrupting homeostasis in these tissues. Autophagy contributes to the maintenance of fetal membrane homeostasis during gestation, and dysfunctional autophagy is associated with pPROM. In this study, we determined the mechanistic impact of lead-induced cellular changes, autophagy, senescence, and inflammation in chorion trophoblast cells (CTCs) and amnion epithelial cells (AECs) of the fetal membranes. Lead exposure in CTCs induced autophagy disfunction (increase in LC3B-II), augmented senescence (increased SA-β-galactosidase activity) and increased the release of inflammation.

Furthermore, we have shown that injury to tissues that are known to express appreciable levels of GLDH does not affect serum GLDH measurements, indicating excellent liver specificity of serum GLDH. Finally, we observed faster elimination of GLDH than ALT in humans, indicating that decreasing GLDH values could be considered an early sign of recovery.

While conventional toxicology tests rely on measuring apical changes in vertebrate models, there is increasing interest in the use of molecular information from animal and in vitro studies to inform safety assessment. One promising and pragmatic application of molecular information involves the derivation of transcriptomic points of departure (tPODs). Transcriptomic analyses provide a snapshot of global molecular changes that reflect cellular responses to stressors and progression toward disease. A tPOD identifies the dose level below which a concerted change in gene expression is not expected in a biological system in response to a chemical. A common approach to derive such a tPOD consists of modeling the dose-response behavior for each gene independently and then aggregating the gene-level data into a single tPOD. While different implementations of this approach are possible, as discussed in this manuscript, research strongly supports the overall idea that reference doses produced using tPODs are health protective. An advantage of this approach is that tPODs can be generated in shorter term studies (e.g., days) compared to apical endpoints from conventional tests (e.g., 90-day sub-chronic rodent tests). Moreover, research strongly supports the idea that reference doses produced using tPODs are health protective. Given the potential application of tPODs in regulatory toxicology testing, rigorous and reproducible wet and dry laboratory methodologies for their derivation are required. This review summarizes the current state of the science regarding the study design and bioinformatics workflows for tPOD derivation. We identify standards of practice and sources of variability in tPOD generation, data gaps, and areas of uncertainty.
