Gene Experssion-based Prediction and Mechanistic Assessment of Non-Genotoxic Chemical-Induced Hepatocarcinogenicity
Abstract
To facilitate both prediction and mechanism-based assessment of human cancer risk, a liver gene expression signature was derived from short term experiments in the rat to predict non-genotoxic hepatocarcinogenicity. The signature was shown to classify 47 independent chemicals with 85% accuracy, much greater than other putative early biomarkers.
