ABSTRACT
Toxicological studies have demonstrated the hepatic toxicity of several bisphenol analogs (BPs), a prevalent type of endocrine disruptor. The development of Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP) has substantially contributed to the rapid risk assessment for human health. However, the lack of in vitro and in vivo data for the emerging BPs has limited the hazard assessment of these synthetic chemicals. Here, we aimed to develop a new strategy to rapidly predict BPs' hepatotoxicity using network analysis coupled with machine learning models. Considering the structural and functional similarities shared by BPs with Bisphenol A (BPA), we first integrated hepatic disease related genes from multiple databases into BPA-Gene-Phenotype-hepatic toxicity network and subjected it to the computational AOP (cAOP). Through cAOP network and conventional machine learning approaches, we scored the hepatotoxicity of 20 emerging BPs and provided new insights into how BPs' structure features contributed to biologic functions with limited experimental data. Additionally, we assessed the interactions between emerging BPs and ESR1 using molecular docking and proposed an AOP framework wherein ESR1 was a molecular initiating event. Overall, our study provides a computational approach to predict the hepatotoxicity of emerging BPs.
