High-Throughput Transcriptomics Platform for Screening Environmental Chemicals
공공데이터포털
We screened 44 chemicals in MCF7 cells in concentration response and generated HTTr data using the TempO-Seq hWTv1 assay. First, we provide an outline of the quality of the HTTr data based on a set of QC metrics we developed for this platform. Second, we evaluate the reproducibility and mechanistic accuracy of the HTTr platform using inter-plate analysis of reference samples and comparison of reference chemical treatment effects with CMAP signatures, respectively. Third, we summarize the concentration-dependent HTTr responses for all 44 chemicals to stratify them in terms of their overall effect on the transcriptome. Fourth, we present a new gene signature based concentration-response analysis that provides potency estimates for perturbation of cellular biology (ie, BPACs).

Use of Threshold of Toxicological Concern (TTC) with High Throughput Exposure Predictions (HTE) as a Risk-Based Screening Approach to Prioritize More Than Seven Thousand Chemicals
공공데이터포털
The dataset that was evaluated in this approach was taken from Wambaugh et al [29] who filtered the Tox21 library to reflect substances with similar uses to those in NHANES. The zip file contains the supplementary information being provided for the re-analysis performed in this dataset. There was no specific code as such developed for the analysis aside from using KNIME to help combine different outputs from different tools including Leadscope in order to arrive at the counts reflected in Table 2 of the manuscript. Instead of this very laborious approach, we re-did the analysis using Toxtree alone and streamlined the processing of the outcomes with R. This is documented in the supplementary information file. List of files: SMARTS Toxtree schemes use to identify carbamates, OPs and steroids Carbamates.tml OPs.tml Steroids.tml R code used to manipulate the various outputs derived from processing the associated sdf through the Kroes, specific Toxtree schemes and Cramer scheme within Toxtree TTC_HTTK.R R data file HTTK_TTC_070218.RData sdf file used in the analysis HTTK_7K_mod_kekule.sdf.

HTTK R Package v1.5 - Identifying populations sensitive to environmental chemicals by simulating toxicokinetic variability
공공데이터포털
httk: High-Throughput Toxicokinetics Functions and data tables for simulation and statistical analysis of chemical toxicokinetics ("TK") using data obtained from relatively high throughput, in vitro studies. Both physiologically-based ("PBTK") and empirical (e.g., one compartment) "TK" models can be parameterized for several hundred chemicals and multiple species. These models are solved efficiently, often using compiled (C-based) code. A Monte Carlo sampler is included for simulating biological variability and measurement limitations. Functions are also provided for exporting "PBTK" models to "SBML" and "JARNAC" for use with other simulation software. These functions and data provide a set of tools for in vitro-in vivo extrapolation ("IVIVE") of high throughput screening data (e.g., ToxCast) to real-world exposures via reverse dosimetry (also known as "RTK"). This dataset is associated with the following publication: Ring, C., R. Pearce, W. Setzer, B. Wetmore, and J. Wambaugh.

Linking high resolution mass spectrometry data with exposure and toxicity forecasts to advance high-throughput environmental monitoring
공공데이터포털
There is a growing need in the field of exposure science for monitoring methods that rapidly screen environmental media for suspect contaminants. Measurement and analysis platforms, based on high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), now exist to meet this need. Here we describe results of a study that links HRMS data with exposure predictions from the U.S. EPA's ExpoCast™ program and in vitro bioassay data from the U.S. interagency Tox21 consortium. Vacuum dust samples were collected from 56 households across the U.S. as part of the American Healthy Homes Survey (AHHS). Sample extracts were analyzed using liquid chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC–TOF/MS) with electrospray ionization. On average, approximately 2000 molecular features were identified per sample (based on accurate mass) in negative ion mode, and 3000 in positive ion mode. Exact mass, isotope distribution, and isotope spacing were used to match molecular features with a unique listing of chemical formulas extracted from EPA's Distributed Structure-Searchable Toxicity (DSSTox) database. A total of 978 DSSTox formulas were consistent with the dust LC–TOF/molecular feature data (match score ≥ 90); these formulas mapped to 3228 possible chemicals in the database. Correct assignment of a unique chemical to a given formula required additional validation steps. Each suspect chemical was prioritized for follow-up confirmation using abundance and detection frequency results, along with exposure and bioactivity estimates from ExpoCast and Tox21, respectively. Chemicals with elevated exposure and/or toxicity potential were further examined using a mixture of 100 chemical standards. A total of 33 chemicals were confirmed present in the dust samples by formula and retention time match; nearly half of these do not appear to have been associated with house dust in the published literature. Chemical matches found in at least 10 of the 56 dust samples include Piperine, N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET), Triclocarban, Diethyl phthalate (DEP), Propylparaben, Methylparaben, Tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl)phosphate (TDCPP), and Nicotine. This study demonstrates a novel suspect screening methodology to prioritize chemicals of interest for subsequent targeted analysis. The methods described here rely on strategic integration of available public resources and should be considered in future non-targeted and suspect screening assessments of environmental and biological media.
