Linking Bisphenol S to Adverse Outcome Pathways Using a Combined Text Mining and Systems Biology Approach.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Available toxicity data can be optimally interpreted if they are integrated using computational approaches such as systems biology modeling. Such approaches are particularly warranted in cases where regulatory decisions have to be made rapidly.

Objectives

The study aims at developing and applying a new integrative computational strategy to identify associations between bisphenol S (BPS), a substitute for bisphenol A (BPA), and components of adverse outcome pathways (AOPs).

Methods

The proposed approach combines a text mining (TM) procedure and integrative systems biology to comprehensively analyze the scientific literature to enrich AOPs related to environmental stressors. First, to identify relevant associations between BPS and different AOP components, a list of abstracts was screened using the developed text-mining tool AOP-helpFinder, which calculates scores based on the graph theory to prioritize the findings. Then, to fill gaps between BPS, biological events, and adverse outcomes (AOs), a systems biology approach was used to integrate information from the AOP-Wiki and ToxCast databases, followed by manual curation of the relevant publications.

Results

Links between BPS and 48 AOP key events (KEs) were identified and scored via 31 references. The main outcomes were related to reproductive health, endocrine disruption, impairments of metabolism, and obesity. We then explicitly analyzed co-mention of the terms BPS and obesity by data integration and manual curation of the full text of the publications. Several molecular and cellular pathways were identified, which allowed the proposal of a biological explanation for the association between BPS and obesity.

Conclusions

By analyzing dispersed information from the literature and databases, our novel approach can identify links between stressors and AOP KEs. The findings associating BPS and obesity illustrate the use of computational tools in predictive toxicology and highlight the relevance of the approach to decision makers assessing substituents to toxic chemicals. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP4200.
