Davis M, Li J, Knight E, Eldridge SR, Daniels KK, Bushel PR. Toxicogenomics profiling of bone marrow from rats treated with topotecan in combination with oxaliplatin: a mechanistic strategy to inform combination toxicity. Front. Genet. 2015, 6 (14).

This paper represents the first in a series of papers derived from a significant collaboration between the NCI and the NIEHS Bioinformatics group. The data presented demonstrated the potential for early mRNA patterns derived from target organs of toxicity to inform toxicological risk and molecular mechanisms for agents given in combination. It provided a path forward for inclusion of a genomic-based high content screens to be used in early exploration of risk for enhanced toxicities with combination therapy.

Eldridge S, Guo L, Mussio J, Furniss M, Hamre J 3rd, Davis M. Examining the protective role of ErbB2 modulation in human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes. Toxicol Sci. 2014, 141(2): 547-59.

This paper is the first in a series of detailed, functional characterization of pathways know to be key contributors to cardiac myocyte viability and responses to injury within the context of the whole heart in iPSC derived cardiac myocytes in culture. The expanding use of these cells for toxicology evaluation will require exploration of signaling pathways that can be translated to whole organ responses. This paper is a contribution to that body of literature.

Eldridge SR, Covey J, Morris J, Fang B, Horn TL, Elsass KE, Hamre JR 3rd, McCormick DL, Davis MA. Characterization of acute biliary hyperplasia in Fisher 344 rats administered the indole-3-carbinol analog, NSC-743380. Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol. 2014, 281(3):303-9.

Biliary hyperplasia represents an unmanageable and non-monitorable adverse effect in clinical settings. The model described in this paper model provided an opportunity for investigators to use a short-duration study design to explore biomarkers of biliary hyperplasia. Requests from groups who wanted to use NSC-743380 in additional studies or as a positive control resulted from this publication.

The significance of this paper is linked to subsequent discussion and research direction for the Regan-Udall Foundation that was kicked off by this paper. This publication was the product of the work of all of the Authors as equal contributors (except JA Reynolds who did most of the editing).
