One of the top priorities of the Interagency Coordinating Committee for the Validation of Alternative Methods (ICCVAM) is the identification and evaluation of non-animal alternatives for skin sensitization testing. Although skin sensitization is a complex process, the key biological events of the process have been well characterized in an adverse outcome pathway (AOP) proposed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Accordingly, ICCVAM is working to develop integrated decision strategies based on the AOP using in vitro, in chemico and in silico information. Data were compiled for 120 substances tested in the murine local lymph node assay (LLNA), direct peptide reactivity assay (DPRA), human cell line activation test (h-CLAT) and KeratinoSens assay. Data for six physicochemical properties, which may affect skin penetration, were also collected, and skin sensitization read-across predictions were performed using OECD QSAR Toolbox. All data were combined into a variety of potential integrated decision strategies to predict LLNA outcomes using a training set of 94 substances and an external test set of 26 substances. Fifty-four models were built using multiple combinations of machine learning approaches and predictor variables. The seven models with the highest accuracy (89-96% for the test set and 96-99% for the training set) for predicting LLNA outcomes used a support vector machine (SVM) approach with different combinations of predictor variables. The performance statistics of the SVM models were higher than any of the non-animal tests alone and higher than simple test battery approaches using these methods. These data suggest that computational approaches are promising tools to effectively integrate data sources to identify potential skin sensitizers without animal testing. Published 2016.

替代方法验证跨部门协调委员会(ICCVAM)的首要任务之一是识别和评估皮肤致敏试验的非动物替代方法。尽管皮肤致敏是一个复杂的过程,但经济合作与发展组织(OECD)提出的不良结局途径(AOP)已很好地描述了该过程的关键生物学事件。因此,ICCVAM正在努力基于AOP,利用体外、化学和计算机信息开发综合决策策略。收集了在小鼠局部淋巴结试验(LLNA)、直接肽反应性试验(DPRA)、人细胞系激活试验(h-CLAT)和角质形成细胞传感试验中测试的120种物质的数据。还收集了可能影响皮肤渗透的六种物理化学性质的数据,并使用OECD QSAR工具箱进行了皮肤致敏类推预测。所有数据被组合成各种潜在的综合决策策略,以使用94种物质的训练集和26种物质的外部测试集预测LLNA结果。使用机器学习方法和预测变量的多种组合建立了54个模型。预测LLNA结果的准确率最高的七个模型(测试集为89-96%,训练集为96-99%)使用了支持向量机(SVM)方法以及不同组合的预测变量。SVM模型的性能统计数据高于任何单独的非动物试验,也高于使用这些方法的简单试验组合方法。这些数据表明,计算方法是有前景的工具,可以有效整合数据源,在无需动物试验的情况下识别潜在的皮肤致敏剂。发表于2016年。本文由美国政府雇员撰写,在美国其作品属于公共领域。
