Key Event Relationship Overview

The utility of AOPs for regulatory application is defined, to a large extent, by the confidence and precision with which they facilitate extrapolation of data measured at low levels of biological organisation to predicted outcomes at higher levels of organisation and the extent to which they can link biological effect measurements to their specific causes.Within the AOP framework, the predictive relationships that facilitate extrapolation are represented by the KERs. Consequently, the overall WoE for an AOP is a reflection in part, of the level of confidence in the underlying series of KERs it encompasses. Therefore, describing the KERs in an AOP involves assembling and organising the types of information and evidence that defines the scientific basis for inferring the probable change in, or state of, a downstream KE from the known or measured state of an upstream KE.

Key Event Relationship Description

Provides a concise overview of the information given below as well as addressing details that aren’t inherent in the description of the KEs themselves. More help

HDAC inhibition leads to cell cycle arrest including G1/S phase arrest [Falkenberg and Johnstone, 2014]. The HDAC inhibition-induced cell cycle arrest is mediated by transcriptional changes of the CDK inhibitors such as p21 [Falkenberg and Johnstone, 2014].

Evidence Collection Strategy

Include a description of the approach for identification and assembly of the evidence base for the KER. For evidence identification, include, for example, a description of the sources and dates of information consulted including expert knowledge, databases searched and associated search terms/strings.  Include also a description of study screening criteria and methodology, study quality assessment considerations, the data extraction strategy and links to any repositories/databases of relevant references.Tabular summaries and links to relevant supporting documentation are encouraged, wherever possible.

Evidence Supporting this KER

Addresses the scientific evidence supporting KERs in an AOP setting the stage for overall assessment of the AOP. More help
Biological Plausibility
Addresses the biological rationale for a connection between KEupstream and KEdownstream.  This field can also incorporate additional mechanistic details that help inform the relationship between KEs, this is useful when it is not practical/pragmatic to represent these details as separate KEs due to the difficulty or relative infrequency with which it is likely to be measured.   More help

The knockdown of HDACs may induce antitumor effects such as cell cycle arrest and inhibition of proliferation [Falkenberg and Johnstone, 2014]. In leukemia, an oncogenic fusion protein recruits a variety of proteins including HDACs to repress cell cycle inhibitors, which suggests that HDAC inhibition leads to cell cycle dysregulation [Falkenberg and Johnstone, 2014].

Uncertainties and Inconsistencies
Addresses inconsistencies or uncertainties in the relationship including the identification of experimental details that may explain apparent deviations from the expected patterns of concordance. More help

The involvement of p53/p63/p73 in up-regulation of p21 induced by HDAC inhibition is not fully elucidated, where time course of the p21 and p53/p63/p73 mRNA expression has demonstrated the cell-line specific differences in the responses in 4 human prostate cancer cell lines LNCaP, C4-2B, PC-3 and DU-145 [Parajuli et al., 2014].

Domain of Applicability

A free-text section of the KER description that the developers can use to explain their rationale for the taxonomic, life stage, or sex applicability structured terms. More help

MAA induced G1 cell cycle arrest in human prostate cancer cells (Homo sapiens) [Parajuli et al., 2014].

Apicidin induced G1 cell cycle arrest in HeLa cells (Homo sapiens) [Han et al., 2000].

The change in the amounts of cells in the G1 phase and S phase of the cell cycle was detected in mouse HDAC1 knock-out fibroblast lines (Mus musculus) [Zupkovitz et al., 2010].

Loss of HDAC1 in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells results in the acetylation of histones H3 and H4, up-regulation of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors p21WAF1/CIP1 and p27KIP1, and inhibition of proliferation (Mus musculus) [Lagger et al., 2002].
