Area of Science:

  • Toxicology and Chemical Safety
  • Genomics and Bioinformatics
  • In Vitro Assays

Background:

  • In vitro biological assays, including cell-based phenotyping and transcriptomic profiling, are emerging as New Approach Methodologies (NAMs).
  • These NAMs support the grouping and read-across of substances with unknown or variable composition, complex reaction products, and biological materials (UVCBs).
  • The utility of gene expression profiling for characterizing complex UVCB substances remains underexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the potential of dose-response transcriptomic profiling for grouping 141 petroleum substance extracts.
  • To characterize the molecular mechanisms underlying in vitro biological responses to these complex substances.
  • To assess the added value of transcriptomics for UVCB grouping compared to bioactivity data.

Main Methods:

  • Dose-response transcriptomic profiling was conducted on human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived hepatocytes, cardiomyocytes, neurons, endothelial cells, and MCF7 and A375 cell lines.
  • Analysis included pathway enrichment to interpret biological effects and correlation analysis with polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs).
  • Supervised analysis combined transcriptomics with bioactivity data for grouping assessment.

Main Results:

  • Distinct transcriptional responses were observed for petroleum substances categorized by manufacturing class.
  • Transcriptional activity correlated strongly with polycyclic aromatic compound (PAC) concentration, particularly in iPSC-derived hepatocytes.
  • Transcriptomics provided mechanistic information but offered only modest additional value for grouping when combined with bioactivity data.

Conclusions:

  • Transcriptomic profiling is valuable for characterizing complex UVCB substances and understanding their biological responses.
  • The study identified informative cell lines for UVCB assessment and highlighted the utility of NAMs for chemical grouping.
  • Findings support the use of transcriptomics in justifying substance selection for further regulatory testing.
