Due to a variety of circumstances, including previous and ongoing stressors, age, sex, and genetic make-up, humans react to chemical exposures differently. However, the impact of population-level variability within dose-response relationships has not been taken into account in the great majority of laboratory-based toxicity research. Risk assessment is made more difficult by the absence of information on how genetic variety affects how the body reacts to chemical exposure since everyone in the population will react differently to toxicant exposure. Notably, genetic variety is becoming increasingly important in laboratory models because it significantly influences how people' responses to drugs or chemicals vary at the population level. Here, we provide numerous assay models that can be utilised in laboratories. genetically different cell lines, human primary cells, and genetically diverse mouse panels were used to study the impact of genetic variation on an individual's sensitivity to chemicals. To illustrate the potential, viability, and strength of each of these models, we also offer a brief summary of a number of important studies. The purpose of this article is to draw attention to the significance of incorporating population-level genetic variation into toxicological study designs using laboratory-based models in order to offer and augment data for evaluating the risk that chemicals pose to the general population. As a result, taking genetic variability into account will benefit risk assessment based on human behaviour and give empirical evidence to support and guide decision-making processes in connection to chemical exposures.
Genetic Variability, Risk Assessment, Population-Based Models
The goal of risk assessment is to characterize the potential hazardous nature of a chemical exposure within the human population. Thus, knowledge of the dose-response relationship (DRR) between any given chemical, from pharmaceuticals to environmental contaminants, and any given physiological response is valuable to accurate risk assessment. In traditional toxicology studies, DRRs are established using classical laboratory models, such as cell lines, inbred rodent, and outbred stocks that are subject to genetic bottlenecking and colony drift [1-2]. The results from laboratory-based toxicology studies are then extrapolated to address the potential exposure and adverse outcome risk within the human population. As such, DRRs are used to calculate safe-exposure limits of the respective chemicals, such as a reference dose (RfD), acceptable daily intake (ADI), or tolerable daily intake (ADI) Identifying the potential dangers of a chemical exposure to the human population is the aim of risk assessment. In order to conduct an appropriate risk assessment, it is important to understand the dose-response relationship (DRR) between any given chemical, including medications and environmental pollutants, and any physiological reaction. Traditional toxicological studies produce DRRs using conventional laboratory models, such as cell lines, inbred rodents, and outbred stocks that are susceptible to colony drift and genetic bottlenecking. [3-5] The outcomes of laboratory-based toxicological studies are then extrapolated in order to address the risk of exposure and unfavourable outcomes in the general population . DRRs are therefore used to determine acceptable daily exposure limits, reference doses (RfD), and other safeexposure limits for the relevant substances. The International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS) of the World Health Organization has recommended that the tolerable exposure limit be increased by a general overall "uncertainty factor" of 100 in situations when interspecies and interindividual data are not available. The uncertainty factor is divided into two groups, A) interspecies differences, and B) interindividual differences, each of which has a 10-fold adjustment. Two further subcategories of the interspecies adjustment are toxicodynamics (2.5 fold) and toxicokinetics (4.0 fold). The same categories also apply to interindividual variances, although each category has slightly different adjustments: A) toxicodynamics (3.2 fold) and toxicokinetics (3.2 fold) (IPCS 2005). Without epidemiological information on the chemical exposure and chronology of interest, it is challenging to resolve the interspecies discrepancies, however various Common laboratory models are not frequently used to evaluate factors that influence interindividual variations, such as population-level genetic variability [6]. Genetic diversity is excluded from traditional laboratory models for the obvious reason of reducing experimental variability. Genetic diversity will add to the noise and, from a scientific perspective, enhance the chance of a weak correlation within a research. The use of knockout (KO) rodent models to determine the mechanism by which a certain gene is causing a phenotype is a prime example of this; the presence of genetic variation will obscure the function of the gene of interest in the response. Mechanistic investigations undoubtedly play a crucial part in finding the genes, proteins, pathways, and environmental elements that contribute to specific responses to chemical exposure and, subsequently, in developing new treatments. possibility for creating treatments to reduce negative consequences. They do, however, evaluate a person's exposure and are a closed platform. Most importantly, they are unable to evaluate the risk that chemical exposure poses to a wide range of population. Making risk-management judgements regarding setting acceptable exposure limits for a diverse population is made more difficult by this data shortage. Incorporating genetic variation into laboratory models used for risk assessment has recently attracted increasing interest. While numerous factors influence a person's reaction to chemical exposure, genetic diversity has been linked to a significant amount of the observed variation. The uncertainty factors that were previously mentioned attempt to modify the safe exposure limits to account for interindividual variability.The possibility that there are sensitive people in the population who are not taken into account by the exposure guidelines is unquestionably nonzero. Additionally, these unknown concerns may lead to exposure rules that are overly cautious, which could potentially hurt industrial and municipal finances excessively. Individuals in laboratory-based models have different susceptibilities to chemically-induced negative health effects, just like in the real population. For instance, many mouse strains can the exposure's perceived danger may be altered [7]. Therefore, incorporating population-level genetic variety into toxicity testing has the potential to improve risk assessment of the shape of a populationlevel DRR and discover genetic variations within a population that may be more vulnerable to a given exposure. The NRC has released a paper titled "Science and Decisions: Advancing Risk Assessment" that discusses the importance of including population-level genetic variation in toxicity testing. According to the paper, the low-dose area of non-cancer DRRs, which were previously thought of as nonlinear functions, would be successfully linearized if inter-individual variability prevalent in the human population were taken into account. Notably, the NRC's suggestion was mostly supported by theoretical evidence and was not adequately evaluated. If put The low-dose linearity assumption could have negative effects on the environment when used in risk assessment. Genetic variation must therefore be accounted for in laboratory models if risk management decisions are to be well-informed and supported by empirical data. In addition, genetic factors of a response to a chemical exposure can be found by using the genetic diversity within population-based models. Using genome wide association, quantifiable physiological responses that differ between individuals can be utilised to look for genomic areas that might be in charge of the phenotypic heterogeneity. These investigations can be used to pinpoint the genetic areas that may be responsible for the quantitative differences between people. Previous research has demonstrated the effectiveness of genetics-based methods for locating genetic variants with statistically different amounts of sensitivity to influences While these findings help to more precisely estimate the risks associated with potential environmental exposures, they can also reveal pharmacogenetic variations that could affect how safe or harmful medications are for the people being treated. In this section, we will discuss a number of laboratory models that can produce the empirical data required to determine the influence of genetic diversity within DRRs and identify genetic variants and susceptible subpopulations that may have increased susceptibility to adverse effects brought on by chemical exposures. This data can be used to more accurately quantify the danger of environmental chemical exposure. Pharmacogenetic variations can also be revealed using population-based models. Genotypes can be utilised to anticipate a favourable or improved response to a pharmaceutical exposure by knowing genetic drivers inside reactions; this is at the core of the precision medicine project [8]. As a result, the models described in this article could influence the evaluation and comprehension of a variety of chemical exposures from the a unique member of the human race. This article's main objective is not to argue against mechanistic studies, but to present a number of laboratory-based models that can be used to explain the genetic diversity found in the human population. Regarding the heterogeneity of dose-response interactions among the heterogeneous human population, there is still much to discover. Thus, population-level reactions to pollutants may be better understood using these models in combination with laboratory-derived exposure data. Several initiatives are shown here that demonstrate the viability of evaluating population-level genetic variability using three distinct biological models: genetically varied cell lines, human primary cells, and mouse populations [9-10].
