Endocrine Disrupting Chemical
“an exogenous substance or mixture that alters function(s) of the endocrine system and consequently causes adverse health effects…” (World Health Organization)
• EDCs have largely been tested by evaluation of effects on nuclear receptors (ER, AR, etc.)
• Altering hormone levels via disruption of biosynthesis or metabolism can also contribute to endocrine disruption– This is difficult to assay in vitro– OECD validation of H295R steroidogenesis assay in 2011.

Sex Hormone Biosynthesis & Metabolism
• Proper steroidogenesis is essential:– In utero for fetal development– In adults for reproductive function
• >90% of steroidogenesis occurs in the gonads• Adrenal gland (glucocorticoids)

on steroidogenesis

Summary• The modified H295R assay used for ToxCast
high-throughput screening successfully evaluated 2060 chemical samples– 524 chemicals were evaluated in conc-response– Profiling across 10 hormone endpoints across the
pathways provides valuable insight into potential mechanisms of action

Future Directions
• Integrating steroidogenesis results with other complementary assays including aromatase inhibition assays
