  1. 2nd McKim Workshop, Baltimore 2012 Identification of non-genotoxic carcinogens based on mechanisms Jan van Benthem National Institute for Public Health and the Environment Laboratory for Health Protection Research Bilthoven, The Netherlands

  2. National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) Laboratory for Health Protection Research - no further testing not genotoxic In vitro genotoxicity tests consider whether in vivo test is required check bioavailability check available data consider proper in vivo (follow up) test consider integration into other toxicity tests + - no further testing not genotoxic In vivo genotoxicity tests + Considered genotoxic in somatic cells Check for information on a genotoxic hazard to germ cells Carcinogenicity test

  3. National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) Laboratory for Health Protection Research Detection of non-genotoxic carcinogens • Carcinogenicity test • (Sub)-chronic repeat dose toxicity tests • 90-day toxicity test • 6-month toxicity test • 12-month toxicity test • Negative in genotoxicity tests

  4. National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) Laboratory for Health Protection Research REACH Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of CHemicals Registratie, Evaluatie en Autorisatie van CHemische stoffen Registrement, Evaluation et Autorisation des produits CHimiques Since 1981 difference is made between new and existing chemicals (marketed before September 1981). About 99% of the total number of compounds marketed is part of this new policy In 1981, 100106 (existing) compounds were registered (30000 >> 1 tpa) Since 1993, 141 existing compounds have been tested Of about 80% of these compounds toxicological data are lacking

  5. National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) Laboratory for Health Protection Research REACH • New: • In future it is the responsibility of the industry and down stream users to obtain toxicological knowledge bout chemicals. Every compound is notified only once (industrial collaboration) • Major aims: • To ensure a high level of protection of human health and the environment • Safety assessment for new and existing chemicals • Classification and labelling • Risk Assessment • In less time, money and experimental animals • Promotion of tests which do not use experimental animals. • Optimal use of in vitro tests • Stimulation of development of new in vitro tests • Minimalization of test strategies

  6. No studies required In vitro geno-toxicity Acute toxicity Local toxicity In vitro geno-toxicity Repro-ductive toxicity Acute toxicity Local toxicity 28 day toxicity 90 day toxicity In vitro geno-toxicity Repro-ductive toxicity In vivo geno-toxicity Develop-mental toxicity Acute toxicity Local toxicity 28 day toxicity 90 day toxicity 2 genera-tion study In vitro geno-toxicity Repro-ductive toxicity In vivo geno-toxicity Develop-mental toxicity Acute toxicity Local toxicity 28 day toxicity 90 day toxicity 2 genera-tion study Carcino-genicity National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) Laboratory for Health Protection Research REACH data requirements at different tonnage levels < 1 tpa 1 - 10 tpa 10 - 100 tpa 100 – 1000 tpa > 1000 tpa

  7. National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) Laboratory for Health Protection Research The Cosmetics Directive and its Seventh Amendment • September 11, 2004: • Testing ban on finished cosmetic products in the EU. • Marketing ban on cosmetic products and ingredients tested on animals outside of the EU where validated alternative tests exist. • March 11, 2009 • Testing bancosmetic ingredients or formulations in the EU. • Marketing bancosmetic products and ingredients tested on animals with the exception of repeated-dose toxicity, reproductive toxicity and toxicokinetics. • March 11, 2013 • Marketing bancosmetic products or ingredients tested on animals, irrespective of the availability of alternative non-animal tests. • The 7th Amendment requires cosmetics manufacturers and distributors to provide certain product information for the safety of the end user.

  33. Category approach – hazard identification National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) Laboratory for Health Protection Research Category:Phthalates • mainly used as plasticizers to increase their flexibility, transparency, durability and longevity. • widely applied in children’s toys • some phthalates reprotoxic, others not Can we separate reprotoxic and non-reprotoxic phthalates by gene expression profiling? Experiment: • Oral exposure of rats to phthalates, reprotoxic and non-reprotoxic • Sacrifice after 24h of exposure: gene expression profiling and histopathology of the testis 33

  34. Gene expression profiling Acclimatization Treatment 1 -21 0 Time (days) National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) Laboratory for Health Protection Research Study design 7-week-old male HsdCpb:WU rats; n = 5 Animals killed 24 h after treatment

  35. National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) Laboratory for Health Protection Research Experimental design

  36. No clear histopathological effects 24 hours after exposure to phthalates National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) Laboratory for Health Protection Research Histopathology Positive control (2-ME) Untreated control DHP treatment

  37. National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) Laboratory for Health Protection Research Data analysis: 3 strategies • Identification of differentially expressed genes between treatment with individual compounds and the untreated control • Identification of differentially expressed genes between compound classes: • reprotoxic phthalates (RT) • non reprotoxic phthalates (NRT) • untreated control (NC) • 3. Identification of differentially expressed individual probes between compound classes

  38. Differentially expressed genes (FDR<0,1) range from 107 (DEHP) to 1,273 (DPeP) 1. Differentially expressed genes-individual compounds (I) RT NRT National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) Laboratory for Health Protection Research

  39. Little overlap between different RT or different NRT phthalates Only 2 genes (LCMT2 and an unknown gene) are affected by all RT phthalates, these are however also affected by at least one NRT phthalate 1. Differentially expressed genes-individual compounds (II) National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) Laboratory for Health Protection Research

  40. National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) Laboratory for Health Protection Research 2. Differentially expressed genes-compound classes (I) • Differentially expressed genes (FDR <0,05): • RT vs NRT phthalates: 469 genes • RT phthalates vs NC: 454 genes • NRT phthalates vsNC: 764 genes • No genes were differentially expressed in all 3 comparisons • 70 (51 + 19) genes not only differentially expressed in RT vs NRT phthalates, but also between either class of phthalates and NC

  41. National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) Laboratory for Health Protection Research 2. Differentially expressed genes-compound classes (II) Discrimination between RT and NRT phthalates based on 70 selected genes

  42. National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) Laboratory for Health Protection Research 3. Differentially expressed probes-compound classes (I) • Differentially expressed probes (FDR <0,05): • RT vs NRT phthalates: 1897 probes • RT phthalates vsNC: 4159 probes • NRT phthalates vsNC: 6189 probes • No probes were differentially expressed in all 3 comparisons • 269 (143 + 126) probes were not only differentially expressed in RT vsNRT phthalates but had also altered expression between either class of phthalates and NC

  43. National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) Laboratory for Health Protection Research 3. Differentially expressed probes-compound classes (II) Discrimination between RT and NRT phthalates based on 269 selected probes

  44. National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) Laboratory for Health Protection Research Discussion • Although 24 hours after exposure to phthalates no histopathological effects were observed, gene expression signatures were clearly changed • Comparison of the different phthalate classes rather than individual compounds results in the identification of 70 genes or 269 probes that can discriminate between RT and NRT phthalates • We, therefore, offer a proof-of-principle for the possibility to implement toxicogenomics in hazard assessment • A combination of toxicogenomics and a category approach would allow prioritizing chemicals for toxicity testing and will as a result: • Be much faster than conventional toxicity testing • Reduce number of laboratory animals used for testing • Lead to a reduction of costs
