Title

A descriptive phrase which references both the Molecular Initiating Event and Adverse Outcome.It should take the form “MIE leading to AO”. For example, “Aromatase inhibition leading to reproductive dysfunction” where Aromatase inhibition is the MIE and reproductive dysfunction the AO. In cases where the MIE is unknown or undefined, the earliest known KE in the chain (i.e., furthest upstream) should be used in lieu of the MIE and it should be made clear that the stated event is a KE and not the MIE.  More help

Abstract

A concise and informative summation of the AOP under development that can stand-alone from the AOP page. The aim is to capture the highlights of the AOP and its potential scientific and regulatory relevance. More help

Drug-induced phospholipidosis (DIPL) is one of the lipid storage disorders, and some of the cationic amphiphilic drugs (CADs) lead to phospholipids accumulation in the lysosome. Some patients with phospholipidosis have been reported with steatosis, cirrhosis, and fibrosis but the mechanism of their association has not been clarified. CADs can easily pass through membranes due to their amphiphilic character and accumulate in the lysosome of the hepatocyte or alveolar macrophage. These drugs inhibit the activity of lysosomal phospholipase A2 by binding with enzyme or phospholipid, which causes phospholipids to accumulate in lysosome and form a lamellar body. Therefore, CADs led to phospholipidosis along with lysosomal dysfunction. Lysosomes are the predominant digestive organelle and it has the hydrolytic enzymes that degrade peptides, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. Lysosomal dysfunction induced to lipid accumulation in the cytosol by inhibiting the lipid metabolism. And lysosomal membrane potential is changed due to accumulating CADs in lysosome and it induced the lysosomal cell death and mitochondrial dysfunction by secondary effects. To develop the AOP for phospholipid and hepatotoxicity, we survey the public literature. At present, direct evidence between phospholipidosis and hepatotoxicity is still lacking, but we try to explain using the AOP framework.

AOP Development Strategy

Context

More help

Strategy

Provides a description of the approaches to the identification, screening and quality assessment of the data relevant to identification of the key events and key event relationships included in the AOP or AOP network.This information is important as a basis to support the objective/envisaged application of the AOP by the regulatory community and to facilitate the reuse of its components.  Suggested content includes a rationale for and description of the scope and focus of the data search and identification strategy/ies including the nature of preliminary scoping and/or expert input, the overall literature screening strategy and more focused literature surveys to identify additional information (including e.g., key search terms, databases and time period searched, any tools used).

This network graphic is automatically generated based on the information provided in the MIE(s), KEs, AO(s), KERs and Weight of Evidence (WoE) summary tables. The width of the edges representing the KERs is determined by its WoE confidence level, with thicker lines representing higher degrees of confidence. This network view also shows which KEs are shared with other AOPs. More help

Essentiality of the Key Events

The essentiality of KEs can only be assessed relative to the impact of manipulation of a given KE (e.g., experimentally blocking or exacerbating the event) on the downstream sequence of KEs defined for the AOP. Consequently, evidence supporting essentiality is assembled on the AOP page, rather than on the independent KE pages that are meant to stand-alone as modular units without reference to other KEs in the sequence. The nature of experimental evidence that is relevant to assessing essentiality relates to the impact on downstream KEs and the AO if upstream KEs are prevented or modified. This includes: Direct evidence: directly measured experimental support that blocking or preventing a KE prevents or impacts downstream KEs in the pathway in the expected fashion. Indirect evidence: evidence that modulation or attenuation in the magnitude of impact on a specific KE (increased effect or decreased effect) is associated with corresponding changes (increases or decreases) in the magnitude or frequency of one or more downstream KEs. More help

Evidence Assessment
