The framework outlines downstream responses known as key events, culminating in a clinically significant adverse outcome as a final result of the toxic exposure. Here we use the AOP framework combined with artificial intelligence methods to gain novel insights into genetic mechanisms that underlie toxicity-mediated adverse health outcomes. Specifically, we focus on liver cancer as a case study with diverse underlying mechanisms that are clinically significant. Our approach uses two complementary AI techniques: Generative modeling via automated machine learning and genetic algorithms, and graph machine learning. We used data from the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Adverse Outcome Pathway Database (AOP-DB; <span>aopdb.epa.gov</span><svg><path></path></svg>) and the UK Biobank’s genetic data repository. We use the AOP-DB to extract disease-specific AOPs and build graph neural networks used in our final analyses. We use the UK Biobank to retrieve real-world genotype and phenotype data, where genotypes are based on single nucleotide polymorphism data extracted from the AOP-DB, and phenotypes are case/control cohorts for the disease of interest (liver cancer) corresponding to those adverse outcome pathways. We also use propensity score matching to appropriately sample based on important covariates (demographics, comorbidities, and social deprivation indices) and to balance the case and control populations in our machine language training/testing datasets. Finally, we describe a novel putative risk factor for LC that depends on genetic variation in both the aryl-hydrocarbon receptor (<em>AHR</em>) and ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 11 (<em>ABCB11</em>) genes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37651,"journal":{"name":"Computational Toxicology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10569310/pdf/nihms-1933008.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41215139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, advancements in the literature often outpace the development of software researchers can implement in their pipelines, and existing software is frequently based on pre-specified workflows built from well-vetted assumptions that may not be optimal for novel research questions. Accordingly, there is a need for a stable platform and open-source codebase attached to a programming language that allows users to program new algorithms. To fill this gap, the Biostatistics and Computational Biology Branch of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, in cooperation with the National Toxicology Program (NTP) and US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), developed ToxicR, an open-source R programming package. The ToxicR platform implements many of the standard analyses used by the NTP and EPA, including dose–response analyses for continuous and dichotomous data that employ Bayesian, maximum likelihood, and model averaging methods, as well as many standard tests the NTP uses in rodent toxicology and carcinogenicity studies, such as the poly-K and Jonckheere trend tests. ToxicR is built on the same codebase as current versions of the EPA’s Benchmark Dose software and NTP’s BMDExpress software but has increased flexibility because it directly accesses this software. To demonstrate ToxicR, we developed a custom workflow to illustrate its capabilities for analyzing toxicogenomic data. The unique features of ToxicR will allow researchers in other fields to add modules, increasing its functionality in the future.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37651,"journal":{"name":"Computational Toxicology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9997717/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9113776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

EFSA guidelines require demonstration that the concentration of selected representative chemical contaminants in recycled plastic resulting from exposure from food is lower than the threshold of toxicological concern (TTC) for genotoxic substances of 0.0025 µg/kg bw/day. To investigate the highest concentration (Cmod) of representative chemical contaminants, that would not exceed the genotoxic TTC, when migrating from rHDPE packaging to foodstuffs, used as cosmetic formulation surrogates, we used mathematical modeling software (MIGRATEST®EXP). The Cmod values of representative chemical contaminants were then compared with the EFSA-reported residual concentration (Cres) of each contaminant in the rHDPE. For each of the cosmetic product/packaging combinations evaluated, we found that the modeled values were clearly lower for Cmod than Cres, i.e., the recycling process could effectively reduce potential contaminants of rHDPE to levels that would not result in daily consumer exposure from cosmetic use exceeding the genotoxic TTC. For skin sensitization, we modeled a worst-case scenario and assumed 100 % of each representative chemical contaminant migrates into the cosmetic formulation from rHDPE. We then calculated the consumer exposure level for each contaminant based on the dose per unit area and compared it with the dermal sensitization threshold (DST) for reactive materials, which is 64 µg/cm<sup>2</sup>. In each case, we demonstrated that the migration of each representative chemical contaminant from rHDPE into each cosmetic formulation was far below the DST, confirming that there is no appreciable risk of sensitization for protein-reactive chemicals.

In this context, the aims of this research were estimating, for the first time and based by REACH guidelines, the PMT potentials of 115 most sold pharmaceuticals in São Paulo Metropolitan Region (a megacity with 21 million of Brazilian), through five (Q)SAR updated models, namely: the OPERA QSAR; the VEGA QSAR (Version 1.1.5); the <em>EPI</em> Suite (Version 4.11); the ECOSAR (Version, 2.0); and the QSAR Toolbox (Version 4.5). This study prioritized the in-silico predictions from the OPERA and the VEGA, because both QSARs can generate reliable predictions, i.e., they have detailed information about the applicability domains. In silico predictions were performed considering ten endpoints: (i) Molecular weight (MW); (ii) “STP total removal”: Sewage Treatment Plant; (iii) Octanol-water partition coefficient (KOW); (iv) Predicted ready biodegradability; (v) Soil organic adsorption coefficient (KOC); (vi) “Short-term and long-term ecological assessments”; (vii) “Carcinogenicity”; (viii) “Mutagenicity”; (ix) “Estrogen receptor binding”; (x) “Cramer decision tree”. The main results showed that: (a) These 115 pharmaceuticals cover a wide range of so-called small molecules (range from 100 to 600 MW); (b) In STP, a predicted removal lower than 10 % was found for 76 pharmaceuticals; (c) Additionally, 101 chemicals has low (Log KOW &lt;2.5), or medium sorption potential (2.5&lt; log KOW &lt;4.0); (d) Ultimately, 36 PPCPs were considered “persistent” after a weight-of-evidence assessment.
