Abstract: Information on the carcinogenic potential of chemicals is primarily available for High Production Volume (HPV) products. Because of the limited knowledge gain from routine cancer bioassays and the fact that HPV chemicals are tested only, there is the need for more cost-effective and informative testing strategies. Here we report the application of advanced genomics to a cellular transformation assay to identify toxicity pathways and gene signatures predictive for carcinogenicity. Specifically, genome-wide gene expression analysis and quantitati...
