There are calls for the framework to be more effective, by better protecting people and the environment. There is also room for it to be more efficient and cost-effective, by harmonizing assessment practices across sectors and avoiding the need for unnecessary testing. At the same time, there is a political commitment to phase out animal testing in chemical safety assessments. In this commentary, we argue that these needs are not at odds with each other. On the contrary, the European Commission's roadmap to phase out animal testing could also be the transition pathway to a more efficient, effective, and sustainable regulatory ecosystem. Central to our proposal is a framework based on biological reasoning in which biological questions can be answered by a choice of methods, with non-animal methods progressively becoming the only choice. Within this framework, a tiered approach to testing and assessment allows for greater efficiency and effectiveness, while also introducing considerations of proportionality and cost-effectiveness. Testing strategies, and their component methods, should be developed in tandem and judged in terms of their outcomes, and the protection levels they inform, rather than their ability to predict the outputs of animal tests.</p>","PeriodicalId":23178,"journal":{"name":"Toxicological Sciences","volume":" ","pages":"160-165"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11775417/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142372951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Violative flunixin residues in edible tissues in cattle and swine have been reported and are usually attributed to non-compliant drug use or failure to observe an appropriate withdrawal time. This project aimed to develop a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for flunixin in cattle and swine to predict withdrawal intervals (WDI) after exposures to different therapeutic regimens of Banamine Transdermal. Due to the lack of comprehensive skin physiological data in cattle, the model was initially developed for swine and then adapted for cattle. Monte Carlo simulation was employed for population variability analysis. The model predicted WDIs were rounded to 1 and 2 d for liver and muscle in cattle, respectively, under FDA tolerance levels, while under EU maximum residue limits, the WDIs were rounded to 1, 3, 2, and 2 d for liver, kidney, muscle, and fat, respectively, following a labeled single transdermal 3.3 mg/kg dose in cattle. The model was converted into a user-friendly interactive PBPK (iPBPK) interface. This study reports the first transdermal absorption model for drugs in cattle.

These adverse outcomes are tied to physiological disruptions in the placenta. Although iAs co-occurs in the environment with other metals such as manganese (Mn), there is a gap in the knowledge of the effects of metal mixtures on the placenta. To address this, we exposed human placental trophoblast cells to iAs, Mn, and an iAs-Mn mixture at 3 concentrations and evaluated transcriptome-wide gene expression and placental migration. We hypothesized that co-exposure to iAs-Mn in a mixture would result in a synergistic/enhanced transcriptomic effect compared to either metal alone. We also anticipated that genes involved in inflammatory or immune-related pathways would be differentially expressed in relation to the mixture compared to single-metals. The results highlight that iAs exposure alone had a stronger genomic response than Mn exposure, with 2-fold the number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs). When analyzing DEGs present across all concentrations of study, the iAs-Mn mixture resulted in the greatest number of DEGs. The results highlight that iAs exposure alone influences the expression of toll-like receptor-initiated response pathways including Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells-1. Exposure to Mn alone influenced the expression of Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide biosynthesis pathways. In contrast, exposure to the iAs-Mn mixtures resulted in altered expression of inflammatory and immune response-related pathways, including the Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2)-mediated oxidative stress response pathway. Migration was unaffected by iAs, Mn, or the iAs-Mn mixture. These findings provide novel toxicogenomic insights into iAs- and Mn-induced placental transcriptomic dysregulations at environmentally relevant concentrations, with implications that in utero exposure to metal mixtures can influence inflammatory and immune pathways within the placenta.</p>","PeriodicalId":23178,"journal":{"name":"Toxicological Sciences","volume":" ","pages":"216-226"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11775420/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143012146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although 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. Although 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 with apical endpoints from conventional tests (e.g. 90-d subchronic 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.

Thus, we proposed glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH) as a liver-specific alternative to serum ALT and AST. In fact, our exploratory studies showed that GLDH has comparable performance to ALT for detecting hepatocyte injury without interference from concomitant muscle injury. Here, we report the results of studies confirming the reference intervals in a healthy human population and the sensitivity and specificity of GLDH for the detection of hepatocyte injury in human subjects. In human subjects, we could not perform liver biopsies due to ethical reasons; we also confirmed the relationship of GLDH and histopathologic lesions using 32 model toxicants in rats. 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.
