Objective:
Project 1:
Important target areas for addressing data gaps through in vitro screening include evaluations of cardiotoxicity. Despite the fact that current conservative estimates relate at least 23% of all cardiovascular disease cases to environmental exposures, the identities of the causative environmental agents remain largely uncharacterized. Moreover, cardiotoxicity remains among the most pronounced reasons, comparable to those associated with hepatotoxicity, for drug attrition during clinical trials and post-marketing. Current pre-clinical approaches for cardiophysiologic evaluations of chemicals rely almost exclusively on large animal models and this approach has significant limitations in terms of cost and complexity of the studies. Hence, there is a pressing demand for the development of comprehensive, multiparametric screening strategies that provide improved predictability of cardiotoxic effects.
The central hypotheses of this project are that: (i) human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocyte cultures constitute an effective organotypic culture model for predictive toxicity screening of environmental chemicals; (ii) a population-based experimental design can assess variation in toxicity to better characterize uncertainties; and (iii) integration of pharmacokinetic and high-throughput screening data further improves confidence in NexGen health assessments. We are testing these hypotheses by pursuing the following specific objectives.
Specific Objective 1: To conduct population-based concentration-response high-content/throughput in vitro screening of up to 200 ToxCast chemicals in human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes from 100 individuals.
Specific Objective 2: To demonstrate how in vitro testing-derived phenotypes are informative of the molecular and cellular events in the adverse outcome pathway (AOP) for cardiotoxicity.
Specific Objective 3: To collect pharmacokinetic data using human hepatocytes and plasma to perform in vitro-to-in vivo extrapolations of the dose-response information from cardiotoxicity screening to human exposures.
Project 2:
Important target areas for addressing data gaps through in vitro screening include evaluations of cardiotoxicity. Despite the fact that current conservative estimates relate at least 23% of all cardiovascular disease cases to environmental exposures, the identities of the causative environmental agents remain largely uncharacterized. Moreover, cardiotoxicity remains among the most pronounced reasons, comparable to those associated with hepatotoxicity, for drug attrition during clinical trials and post-marketing. Current pre-clinical approaches for cardiophysiologic evaluations of chemicals rely almost exclusively on large animal models and do not consider underlying genetic variation in evaluation of risk. Use of large animals has significant limitations in terms of cost and complexity of the studies, especially for the inclusion of genetic diversity. Hence, there is a pressing demand for the development of comprehensive, multi-parametric screening strategies that provide improved predictability of cardiotoxic effects.
The central hypotheses of this project are that: (i) genetic variation influences how mouse iPSC-derived embryoid body (EB)-OCM respond to insults; (ii) analyses using the CC population can be used to uncover genetic and transcriptional networks that control cardiotoxic responses within AOP; and (iii) discoveries using in vitro OCMs are predictive of in vivo cardiotoxic responses. We are testing these hypotheses by pursuing the following specific objectives.
Specific Objective 1: To perform in vitro screening of ToxCast chemicals using iPSC-derived EB-OCM CC genetic reference population.
Specific Objective 2: To collect RNA-seq data from EB-OCM to inform molecular and cellular events in the AOP for cardiotoxicity.
Specific Objective 3: To validate the IVIVE paradigm and risk prediction using genetically matched and exposure-naïve CC mice, respectively.
Project 3:
The activities in Projects 1 and 2 necessitate a targeted, yet comprehensive analytic pipeline for analyzing organotypic culture model data screened for dosimetry, physiological parameters, and genetic and transcriptomic profiles, culminating in an informed basis for ranking and prioritization. Project 3 is responsible to collate, analyze, and synthesize the results from Projects 1 and 2. The data gathered in Projects 1 and 2 has included numerous screening measurements in human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes and rodent embryonic stem cells, building upon recent advances to maximize the informativeness of beating cardiomyocyte models. The activities in the Project followed the original proposal, with screening methods focusing on concentration-response modeling and multivariate analysis. By harnessing these efforts in a coherent pipeline, the Project synergized with Projects 1 and 2 and added value to the entire Center activity.
In this past year the Project was in no-cost extension, having largely reached its goal of developing a coordinated analysis and decision-support pipeline based on complex data from organotypic culture model systems in humans and mice. These standard approaches and tools that can be used in future cardiotoxicity screening and inform human health assessments.
Efforts in the upcoming no-cost extension year will be devoted to finalizing publications associated with the methods, and polishing the associated software. The research goals are being achieved by pursuing the following specific objectives.
Specific Objective 1: To apply and refine methods to use the pharmacokinetic data from Project 1 to perform in vitro-to-in vivo extrapolation and subsequent generation of oral equivalent doses. [This Objective was moved to Project 1 at Texas A&M University, as described in detail in previous reports]
Specific Objective 2: To apply concentration-response modeling to establish robust and appropriate points of departure.
Specific Objective 3: To perform annotation-informed analyses of population variation and association.
Specific Objective 4: To perform ranking and prioritization analyses of the ToxCast chemicals screened.
Progress Summary:
Project 1:
Most of the work in the past year has focused on the activities under all proposed Specific Objectives. To date, we have accomplished the following:
• We are continuing the analysis of the data from testing 140 compounds selected in consultation with FDA, NTP and EPA-NCCT in a population-based in vitro iPSC-derived cell model with myCell cardiomyocytes from 43 normal donors. Several manuscripts detailing the outcomes have been published or are in submission. For instance, we are demonstrating how population Bayesian concentration-response modeling can be used to characterize toxicodynamic (TD) variability and replace the default uncertainty factor for TD variability. Additionally, we demonstrate how this modeling, when combined with high throughput toxicokinetics, can be used to characterize risk through calculation of margins of exposure.
• We showed that human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes are among most informative cell types for rapid hazard characterization of environmental chemicals. Our study showed that human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cells (hepatocytes, neurons, cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells) and a primary endothelial cell line are a practical high-throughput in vitro model for rapidly evaluating potential hazards of chemicals using a small number of human cells. We demonstrated the potential of this in vitro screening model to inform rapid risk-based decision making through ranking, clustering, and assessment of both hazard and risks of diverse environmental chemicals.
• Our studies also show that human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes can be effectively used to study cardiovascular effects of polychlorinated biphenyls and their major metabolites. In a study of 25 PCBs and their major metabolites detected in humans, or in vitro data-based risk characterization analysis showed that while in vitro derived effective concentrations exceed the levels measured in the general population, risks could not be ruled out due to the potential for population variability in susceptibility and the need to fill data gaps using read-across approaches. This study demonstrated a strategy for how in vitro data can be used to characterize human health risks from PCBs and their metabolites.
• We have completed testing 1,000+ compounds selected in consultation with FDA, NTP and EPA in a population-based in vitro iPSC-derived cell model with myCell cardiomyocytes from 5 donors. Data analyses are underway.
• We have completed collecting samples for whole genome analysis of the effects of drugs and environmental chemicals (650+) on human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes. These samples have been sent to collaborators at BioSpyder for TempO-seq analysis.
These experiments and observations are significant because they demonstrate novel possibilities of utilizing a human microphysiological system that is population-based for readacross and grouping of the individual chemicals, mixtures, and complex substances.
Project 2:
Most of the work in the past year has focused on the activities under proposed Specific Objective 3. To date, we have accomplished the following:
• After identifying a major source of variation in deriving embryoid bodies for cardiomyocyte differentiation as the source of serum that was being used, we have started getting more consistent differentiation. We have been using this new media for several CC-derived iPSc lines and have also found variation in the extent of differentiation that is related to culture conditions. Using a spinner flask, the size and reproducibility has been improved. These are now being used in differentiation assays to test cardiotoxicants that we have already collected in vivo data on.
• In addition to iPSC derived cardiomyocytes, we have established primary cardiomyocyte cultures from CC lines with in vivo data with the goal of comparing iPSC derived cardiomyocytes, primary cardiomyocytes, and in vivo cardiomyocytes to cardiotoxicant response across at least 8 CC lines.
• To investigate the in vitro-to-in vivo predictive ability of OCM, we have completed echocardiography (Echo) using ECGenie and ECG using a Vevo High-Frequency Ultrasound for detailed baseline cardiac phenotypes for 55 CC lines using both male and female mice. These Echo measures were performed in both conscience and unconscious mice, with substantial strain-specific differences observed in many measurements that are far greater than anticipated.
Project 3:
During this no-cost extension year, most of the work in the past year focused on the activities under proposed Specific Objectives 2, 3, and 4.
To date, this year we have accomplished the following:
• Down-sampling analyses of the TempoSeq pipeline have been revealing in better understanding the role of replication in highthroughput dose-response modeling, when the total number of assays is held fixed. These issues are critically important for study design, and have an important role to play in toxicological design practice. These analyses show the important role of replication in obtaining robust results, and illustrate the tradeoff vs. coverage with multiple chemicals. Fig 3.1 illustrates with a Venn diagram of expression effects for Nifedipine in cardiomyocytes. An associated manuscript us underway and the results were to be presented at the 2020 SOT. Due to the high degree of feature replication in gene expression, the results also serve to provide important information on design for lowerthroughput assays, including physiological parameters.
FIgure 3.
• Our published improved pipeline for dose-response analysis has been brought to a streamlined level so that it has higher impact in toxicology, including for alternate cell models and alternate chemical agents.
• The dose-response pipeline has had additional added flags and corrections for control-sample bias, which can otherwise produce apparent dose-response effects. Briefly, Hill models are fit in which the mean response for control samples are “tied down” to a common value. We have also expanded the types of points of departure possible to be detected, including now those based on (i) standard deviations departures from control, (ii) departures on the fitted Hill model, and (iii) departures according to a specified percentage change.
• The annotation-informed analyses of population variation and association is furthered by the use of set-based approaches, for which we have developed the Marker Trait Complete Analysis approach. The general approach is generic, but is particularly useful in settings with collections of physiological phenotypes for cell assays with multiple predictive features.
• We have completed scripting of pipelines to more easily compare human genetic variation to phenotypes, automatically connecting analyses to LocusZoom output.
• We have completed scripting our analysis protocols using R/Markdown.

Future Activities:
Project 1:
• We will continue data analysis of experiments in 5 donors with 1,000+ chemicals.
• We will conduct data analysis for TempO-seq high-throughput transcriptomics on 650+ chemicals in the standard iPSC-cardiomyocyte donor.
• We will conduct a simulation analysis of the 43 donor/140 chemical set analyzing the power of different sample sizes (in terms of diverse donors) to characterize hazard and toxicodynamic variability.
• We will continue collecting protein binding and other kinetic data to enable in vitro-to-in vivo comparisons as needed.
• We will work closely with Project 3 staff to analyze the data from high-content screening and high-throughput transcriptomics.
Project 2:
• We will use existing iPS lines from the eight CC lines used to screen chloroquine and isoproterenol (previously tested in vivo) to test in vitro effects on cardiomyocyte function in collaboration with Project 1. These studies were interrupted with the COVID-19 shutdown but will soon re-start. These will be done in both iPSC derived cardiomyocytes and in primary cardiomyocytes.
• Analysis of baseline cardiac function using both EKG an Echo (conscience and unconscious) will be submitted for publication.
• By conclusion of the project, we anticipate having generated detailed baseline cardiac phenotypes for 55 CC lines, performed genetic analysis to identify the genetic architecture underlying cardiac phenotypic variation, tested 8 iPSC and corresponding CC lines and primary cardiomyocytes for several chemicals identified in Project 1 as candidate cardiotoxicants. Although not of the scale original envisioned, the results will still address the original primary goal of the project, are mice predictive of human cardiotoxicity and do in vitro OCM accurately recapitulate in vivo phenotypes.
Project 3:
• Completing the down-sampling analysis and providing a publication that assists the community in understanding the costs and benefits of various dose-response designs for cardiomyocyte studies, as well as other cell-based designs.
• Finishing analysis of the data from high-content screening and high-throughput transcriptomics, working closely with Project 1 and 2 personnel.
• Finalizing the developed protocol for variability analysis across cell lines. By using this protocol in concert with other developing chemical prioritization schemes, e.g. in ToxPi, we can extend the concept of the down-sampling analysis to its consequences in ToxPi summaries.
