4 What is toxicology testing? Massive query of all of biological space with the purpose of detecting statistically significant changes Genetox, Cancer, Repro, Immuno, Neuro, etc Animals represent highly integrated, high dimensional biosensors Most important piece of information is the shape of the response curve and the Point of Departure (POD) for the most sensitive endpoint With environmental chemicals the POD is typically use to set exposure limits

5 Benchmark Dose POD Exposure Limit Benchmark Dose: The of a substance that is expected to result in a prespecified level of effect, the benchmark response level or BMR Typically the BMR is defined as % shift in the background rate of response (BMD) How is it determined? Dose-response data for the biological effect is fit with a statistical model and a BMD is identified that results in a defined level of response over that observed in control populations Why is it important? The lower bound of the BMD is used as a POD to set exposure limits

6 Benchmark

7 The Real World Challenge To perform a comprehensive toxicological assessment using traditional methods that will allow for the identification of a POD it is time consuming, expensive and requires a large number of animals 8, chemicals approved for use in commerce Little to no toxicity data on most Significant concern about potential effects on public health REACH, Montebello Agreement Deadlines for formulating hazard data and generating risk characterization Significant need for new approaches

8 Potential New Approaches Structure Activity Challenges with chemical space of training sets Significant quantitative challenges Yes/no is not good enough High throughput screening Large number of chemicals studied in limited biological space Human cell systems Often missing critical ADME related processes Quantitative and qualitative translation of results to in vivo is a challenge

9 Potential New Approaches () A compromise: Short-term in vivo toxicogenomics (TGMX) studies Similar to traditional toxicity studies Broad, integrated query of biological space Provides quantitative data that can be used for -response modeling and POD determination Testing takes place in an integrated system Allows for testing in different models of different physiological states Challenges As with HTS, what do the metrics mean? How does TGMX scale quantitatively against traditional endpoints? More or less sensitive? Effect of exposure duration?

10 Cancer TGMX Signature Development Immunotox Reproduction Dose TGMX Signature Cancer Development Immunotox Reproduction Dose TGMX vs. Traditional Assessments Scenario TGMX is protective Scenario TGMX is NOT protective BMD Values

11 Approach: Dose-response comparison, Genomics vs Tumors Identify a set of genotoxic (mutagenic, DNA alkylators) and nongenotoxic (PPARα activators) hepatocarcinogens that have existing cancer bioassay data and -response liver gene expression data in rats Model the liver tumor -response using BMDS to determine tumor BMD Derive gene signatures using DrugMatrix liver gene expression data for DNA Damage (mutagenic, DNA alkylators) and PPARα activation Male SD rat, Affymetrix data Determine signature variance at multiple levels and durations of exposure using TG-GATEs liver gene expression data Male SD rat, Affymetrix data Model -response of signature variance to determine a BMD (BMR = SD Compare signature BMD with Liver tumor BMD

12 Derivation of Genomic Signatures

13 NextBio Signature Development Important Concept: Gene Score in a Bioset Example: genes in a bioset from an RNA expression study Genes are sort by absolute fold change and then assigned a gene score with the most differentially expressed gene = and the least = If there was genes in the bioset Top differentially expressed=, nd =99.9, 3 rd =99.8, etc Signature Derivation using Meta-Analysis Tool Assuming genes are directly correlated: Gene X overall gene score= 97= Gene Y overall gene score = 5=5+5+5
