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

OECD Information Table

Provides users with information concerning how actively the AOP page is being developed and whether it is part of the OECD Workplan and has been reviewed and/or endorsed. OECD Project: Assigned upon acceptance onto OECD workplan. This project ID is managed and updated (if needed) by the OECD. OECD Status: For AOPs included on the OECD workplan, ‘OECD status’ tracks the level of review/endorsement of the AOP . This designation is managed and updated by the OECD. Journal-format Article: The OECD is developing co-operation with Scientific Journals for the review and publication of AOPs, via the signature of a Memorandum of Understanding. When the scientific review of an AOP is conducted by these Journals, the journal review panel will review the content of the Wiki. In addition, the Journal may ask the AOP authors to develop a separate manuscript (i.e. Journal Format Article) using a format determined by the Journal for Journal publication. In that case, the journal review panel will be required to review both the Wiki content and the Journal Format Article. The Journal will publish the AOP reviewed through the Journal Format Article. OECD iLibrary published version: OECD iLibrary is the online library of the OECD. The version of the AOP that is published there has been endorsed by the OECD. The purpose of publication on iLibrary is to provide a stable version over time, i.e. the version which has been reviewed and revised based on the outcome of the review. AOPs are viewed as living documents and may continue to evolve on the AOP-Wiki after their OECD endorsement and publication.   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

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.
