Outline • Why do we care about dose response? • Historical perspective • Brief, incomplete! • Formaldehyde • Future directions
Perspective • This talk mostly deals with issues of cancer risk assessment, but I see no reason for any formal separation of the methodologies for cancer and non cancer dose-response assessments • PK • Modes of action • Tumors, reproductive failure, organ tox, etc.
Dose Typical high dose rodent data – what do they tell us? Response
Interspecies Dose Not much! Response ?

Benzene Decision of 1980 • U.S. Supreme Court says that exposure standards must be accompanied by a demonstration of “significant risk” • Impetus for modeling low-dose dose response

Biologically motivated computational models(or)Biologically based computational models • Biology determines • The shape of the dose-response curve • The qualitative and quantitative aspects of interspecies extrapolation • Biological structure and associated behavior can be • described mathematically • encoded in computer programs • simulated
Risk assessment Experiments to understand mechanisms of toxicity and extrapolation issues Biologically-based computational models: Natural bridges between research and risk assessment Computational models
Garbage in – garbage out • Computational modeling and laboratory experiments must go hand-in-hand

Formaldehyde nasal cancer in rats:A good example of extrapolations across doses and species
1980 - First report of formaldehyde-induced tumors Swenberg JA, Kerns WD, Mitchell RI, Gralla EJ, Pavkov KLCancer Research, 40:3398-3402 (1980)Induction of squamous cell carcinomas of the rat nasal cavity by inhalation exposure to formaldehyde vapor.

What did we know in the early ’80’s? • Formaldehyde is a carcinogen in rats and mice • Human exposures roughly a factor of 10 of exposure levels that are carcinogenic to rodents.
1982 – Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) voted to ban urea-formaldehyde foam insulation.
1983 - Formaldehyde cross-links DNA with proteins - “DPX” Casanova-Schmitz M, Heck HDToxicol Appl Pharmacol 70:121-32 (1983)Effects of formaldehyde exposure on the extractability of DNA from proteins in the rat nasal mucosa.
1984 - Risk Assessment Implications Starr TB, Buck RDFundam Appl Toxicol 4:740-53 (1984)The importance of delivered dose in estimating low-dose cancer risk from inhalation exposure to formaldehyde.
1985 – No effect on blood levels Heck, Hd’A, Casanova-Schmitz, M, Dodd, PD, Schachter, EN, Witek, TJ, and Tosun, T Am. Ind. Hyg. Assoc. J. 46:1. (1985) Formaldehyde (C2HO) concentrations in the blood of humans and Fisher-344 rats exposed to C2HO under controlled conditions.
1987 – U.S. EPA cancer risk assessment • Linearized multistage (LMS) model • Low dose linear • Dose input was inhaled ppm • U.S. EPA declined to use DPX data
Summary: 1980’s • Research • DPX – delivered dose • Breathing rate protects the mouse (Barrow) • Blood levels unchanged • Regulatory actions • CPSC ban • US EPA risk assessment
Key events during the ’90s • Greater regulatory acceptance of mechanistic data for risk assessment (U.S. EPA) • Cell replication dose-response • Better understanding of DPX (Casanova & Heck) • Dose-response modeling of DPX (Conolly, Schlosser) • Sophisticated nasal dosimetry modeling (Kimbell) • Clonal growth models for cancer risk assessment (Moolgavkar)
1991 – US EPA cancer risk assessment • Linearized multistage (LMS) model • Low dose linear • DPX used as measure of dose
1991, 1996 - regenerative cellular proliferation Monticello TM, Miller FJ, Morgan KT Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 111:409-21 (1991)Regional increases in rat nasal epithelial cell proliferation following acute and subchronic inhalation of formaldehyde.

Summary: Dose-response inputs to the clonal growth model • Cell replication • J-shaped • DPX • Low dose linear
