Outline
• Problem statement- current limitations
• Need for novel approaches
– 3 Rs and Tox Testing in 21st Century report
• Cellular stress response as an early indicator
of biological response
• Stress response biology and current approach
to predict adverse outcomes
• Specific application and problems in predicting
genotoxic responses to compounds

Regulatory Challenges
• Large number of environmental compounds with limited
toxicity information
– HPVs, etc.
– 90,000 chemicals on the EPA TSCA inventory and ~9,000
chemicals used in quantities >10,000 lbs.
– 1,468 chemicals have been tested in a rodent cancer bioassay
(CPD, 2005).
– Inerts, Mixtures
• Extrapolation from model systems to human exposure
effects
• Imperative to reduce the number of animal used in
testing– 3R’s – reduce, refine and replace

Challenge and Approach
• Need to develop cost-effective high-throughput
screening approaches to facilitate prioritization of
data-poor chemicals
• Need to reduce and refine current level of animals
required for regulatory testing
•
•
•
•
•
Need to collect data on human cell and tissues
Incorporation of ‘toxicity pathways’
Exploitation of ‘screen-able’ pathway nodes
Utility beyond prioritization?
Data needs for QSAR

Adaptive Stress-Response Pathways
• Protective signaling pathways activated in response to
environmental insults such as chemical toxicity
• Present in all metazoan cells and highly conserved
• Broad indicators of early cellular toxicity (perturbation)
• Triggered at low doses before more apical effects such
as cell death or apoptosis
• Manageable number of key cellular stress pathways
identified
• Pathways mechanistically well-characterized
• Share common architecture

Recap
• Adaptive stress response pathways share a common
exploitable architecture
• The transducer ‘layer’ of the pathways is heavily cross-wired
and plays a role in ‘non-stress’ biology
• The transcription factor/sensor complex integrates multiple
signaling inputs
• Activated TF can be measured using reporter genes that
come in two basic ‘flavors’
• Low ‘basal’ activity → high dynamic range
• Because the patterns of activation vary by compound, a
battery of such assays can be used to build compoundspecific stress response profiles

Diversity of p53 responses
Staib, et al. (2005) Cancer Res., 65: 10255-64
Office of Research and Development
NHEERL, Integrated System Toxicology Division
Causes for Variable Responses
• Mode of action of compound- p53 modification
– Direct vs. indirect DNA damage
• Cell type
–level of p53 and other components
• Dose - growth arrest vs. apoptosis
–Need for dose response and cytotox
• Exposure duration- temporality of activation
–Need for time course
Office of Research and Development
NHEERL, Integrated System Toxicology Division
Current Efforts
• Identify a gene that respond to multiple stimuli
(single reporter assay)
• Use a set of responder genes that improve
coverage- possibly multiplex
• Choose appropriate cell type that give the best
response
–Lentiviral vectors
• Improve signal/noise by genetic manipulations
• Incorporate metabolism
