13 Use of Mechanistic Toxicology Studies in Public Health Decision Making

14 Use of Mechanistic Toxicology Studies in Public Health Decision Making

15 Approaching Toxicology Today First level screen High-Throughput Fairly inexpensive Lot s of possible mechanistic links Second Level Screen Integrated living organism Medium throughput Complex inter-related mechanistic information Definitive Evaluation Bioassay of the future

16 The Bioassay of the Future Species/strain/genetics Dose spacing/timing/age of exposure Use of sub-chronic/pre-chronic/other Toxicokinetics Digital pathology and non-invasive methods Addition of mechanistic endpoints Presentation and interpretation

17 Chronics, Cancer and Genomics Biomarkers Biomarkers Cancer No Cancer Biomarker Biomarker Cancer No Cancer

18 Second Level Screens Shorter-term whole animal assays C. elegans Zebra fish Transgenics and others Molecular screening assays Gene chips with large numbers of genes Proteomic screens Metabolomic screens Combined assays Reproductive/developmental/cancer/cardiotox/other

19 C. Elegans and developmental neurotoxicity Develop the screen 00 /- agents Reproduction, development, behaviour, movement Expand the tool to expand endpoints Subtle changes in individual neurons Alterations in egg sac function and number Evaluate mechanism Knock down every gene for a few chemicals

20 High-Throughput Screening Develop capacity Two to five thousand agents initially Obvious toxicity targets Develop data handling tools Build a validation data set Expand as warranted Broader number of assays Broader number of agents Wider number of targeted toxicities

21 High-Throughput Screening Fully integrated with the NIH Molecular Libraries Initiative 10 screening centers 100 grants per year on new assays 30 grants per year on new methods 10K agents screened 153 well format 10 plus dilutions Multiple replicates Cross-laboratory validation

22 Data Analysis and Interpretation Evaluate current and future information technology needs Methods for new assays and HTS Interaction with public health decision makers How and when to use new results Steps as we proceed Staffing and expansion of skills staff Decision makers International community
