Project Period: August 1, 2020 through May 2, 2025

Research Category: Chemical Safety for Sustainability

Objective:

The long-term objective of this project was to support risk-based decisions with new approach methodologies (NAMs) data by demonstrating integration of new biological (i.e., tissue chips), analytical (i.e., IMS-MS), and modeling methods for high fidelity, data-driven IVIVE. Specifically, this project aimed to use tissue chips that are already commercially available to generate physiologically relevant toxicokinetic data, as well as to demonstrate how high-throughput detection, identification, and quantification of multiple chemicals, their metabolites, and mixtures can be achieved through the use of ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry and a computational pipeline and database of thousands of environmental chemicals. We were extending traditional IVIVE approaches by incorporating both tissue chip-based toxicokinetic data and IMS-MS analytical data into high throughput PBPK modeling of both parent chemicals and metabolites. This work will enable a more comprehensive characterization of toxicokinetics and metabolite formation, thereby reducing the uncertainty of traditional IVIVE approaches and improving the basis for decision-making with NAMs data.

The project goals focused on the main outcome – to develop a novel approach and a framework to support risk-based decisions on environmental chemicals and mixtures by demonstrating how an integrated set of novel biological assays (i.e., tissue chips), analytical techniques (i.e., IMS-MS) and computational methods can be used to enable high-fidelity, data-driven toxicokinetic modeling. Overall, the project was pursuing the following specific aims.

Aim 1: To generate physiologically relevant toxicokinetic data for IVIVE by using tissue chips.

Aim 2: To integrate untargeted analytical methods and metabolite predictions into IVIVE.

Aim 3: To integrate tissue chip assays and IMS-MS into high throughput PBPK models for more efficient and robust IVIVE.

Conclusions:

Aim 1 focused on creating and validating robust, reproducible microphysiological systems (MPS, colloquially “organ-on-chip” platforms) that can accurately model human tissue-level responses to toxicant exposure. A primary objective was to overcome current limitations related to throughput, inter-laboratory reproducibility, and physiological relevance. Major outputs and outcomes included:

MPS Platform Development and Testing/Qualification

  • Creation of Modular Tissue Chip-Based Systems:
    The center tested modular liver, kidney, and lung chips compatible with 96-well plate formats. Each platform incorporated key cell types (e.g., hepatocytes, renal epithelial cells, alveolar epithelial cells, and relevant stromal cells), extracellular matrix components, and supports perfusion to mimic physiological conditions.
  • Standardization & Reproducibility:
    Standardized protocols for chip operation, cell seeding, and media perfusion were established and validated within consortium laboratories. Inter-lab reproducibility studies showed high concordance in baseline functionality and response to reference compounds.

Biological Validation of Benchmark Functionalities:
Each chip platform met or exceeded established benchmarks for tissue-specific functions:

    • Liver chips: albumin and urea production, CYP enzyme activity
    • Kidney chips: filtration/barrier integrity (measured via TEER and marker dye leakage)
    • Lung chip: barrier integrity, surfactant production, cilia motility

Reference Compound Testing:
Standard environmental toxicants (e.g., acetaminophen, cisplatin, paraquat) were used to verify that chips recapitulate known dose-response behaviors, including target organ-specific toxicity phenotypes. Raw data (viability, biomarker output, metabolic profiling) and detailed SOPs were curated and made available to the research community, facilitating method adoption and meta-analyses.

Key Takeaways and Impact of Aim 1: The deliverables of Aim 1 provide a validated, scalable, and reproducible foundation for organ-specific hazard assessment. These platforms are now being distributed to collaborators within the EPA’s ToxCast and HTTr (High Throughput Transcriptomics) networks, streamlining incorporation into regulatory science.

Aim 2 addressed the need for high-content and multiplexed analytical modalities suitable for the medium-to-high-throughput chip platforms developed in Aim 1. The goal was to maximize information yield per sample/experiment and speed up hazard identification. Major outputs and outcomes included:

Analytical Platform Innovation

  • Implementation of exposomics:
    Integrated protocols enable simultaneous profiling of multiple chemicals and metabolites directly from chip effluents.
    • High-content imaging (live/dead staining, immunofluorescence for mechanistic biomarkers, morphological profiling) was automated and multiplexed for batch analytics.
  • Development of Automated Workflows:
    Automated liquid handling and parallelized sample processing pipelines expedited sample preparation and data acquisition, reducing hands-on time and variability.

Data Integration

  • Cross-Modality Data Analysis Pipelines:
    Developed cloud-based bioinformatics pipelines to integrate omics with chemical exposure data and phenotypic outcomes. We established new approaches for pathway-level and adverse outcome pathway (AOP) mapping, linking in vitro assay signatures to likely in vivo effects.

Outputs and Data sharing

  • All custom scripts, data standards, and hardware control protocols are published open-access, greatly expanding the toolset available to the wider toxicology and risk assessment community.

Key Takeaways and Impact of Aim 2: The integration of multiplexed analytics with standardized MPS platforms elevated the granularity and throughput of toxicity assessment. The center’s workflows are being incorporated into national research consortia and public-private partnerships, supporting regulatory acceptance of non-animal hazard assessment approaches.

Aim 3 translated the validated platforms and analytics into public health–relevant case studies, with an emphasis on priority environmental contaminants identified by the EPA and other federal partners. Major outputs and outcomes included:

Case Study Selection and Execution

  • Chemical Prioritization:
    Chemical libraries included well-studied toxicants (for benchmarking) and ~50 emerging contaminants with limited human hazard data (e.g., PFAS, pesticides, industrial byproducts).
  • Exposure Scenario Modeling:
    Designed exposure regimens (acute vs. chronic; single vs. mixtures) relevant to real-world scenarios informed by EPA monitoring data.

Discovery and Decision-Support Insights

  • Identification of Chemical Hazards:
    Studies identified previously unreported toxicity and transport kinetics for selected PFAS and other chemicals.
  • Comparative Toxicology:
    Chip-based responses were compared with existing animal and traditional in vitro data, demonstrating strong concordance with human-relevant endpoints, and in some cases, greater sensitivity to lower exposures.
  • Mixture Effects Testing:
    The platforms successfully deconvoluted complex mixture effects, identifying additive or synergistic toxicities that would be missed by single-chemical assessments.

Policy and Research Translation

  • Data for Risk Assessment:
    Study results were shared with EPA risk assessors, resulting in new data inputs for predictive models and for prioritization within the Agency.
  • Community Engagement:
    Summary findings were communicated to partner agencies and stakeholder groups via public webinars, policy briefs, and co-authored white papers.

Key Takeaways and Impact of Aim 3: Application of integrated OoC–omics platforms to EPA-relevant chemicals delivered highly actionable, human-relevant hazard data. The project provided direct support to agency efforts to streamline chemical evaluations and has catalyzed further collaborations on mixture toxicity and non-animal risk assessment.

Overall Project Impact

The “Integrating Chips with Rapid Analytics” STAR Center successfully delivered on its mission to modernize and accelerate environmental toxicology. Key impacts include:

  • Establishment of open, validated organ-on-chip platforms and analytics workflows,
  • Demonstrated use in high-impact, policy-relevant chemical evaluations,
  • Advancement of the field toward animal-free, human-centered toxicity testing as recommended by the National Academies and federal strategy documents.

All validated platforms, data resources, and protocols are now available for adoption by the wider research, regulatory, and industrial communities, positioning the STAR Center as a hub and model for next-generation toxicology.
