Difference in the Mechanism of Iron Overload-Enhanced Acute Hepatotoxicity Induced by Thioacetamide and Carbon Tetrachloride in Rats
Toxicol Pathol. 2024 Mar 25:1926233241235623. doi: 10.1177/01926233241235623. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIron overload has been recognized as a risk factor for liver disease; however, little is known about its pathological role in the modification of liver injury. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of iron overload on liver injury induced by two hepatotoxicants with different pathogenesis in rats. Rats were fed a control (Cont), 0.8% high-iron (0.8% Fe), or 1% high-iron diet (1% Fe) for 4 weeks and were then administered with saline, thioacetamide (TAA), or carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). Hepatic and...

Translational Relevance of Rodent Models to Predict Human Liver Disease
Toxicol Pathol. 2024 Mar 18:1926233241230543. doi: 10.1177/01926233241230543. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAnimals models are essential to understand the complex pathobiology of human diseases. George Box's aphorism based on statistics "All models are wrong, but some are useful" certainly applies to animal models of disease. In this session, the translational relevance of various animal models applicable to human liver disease was explored starting with a historic overview of the rodent cancer bioassay with emphasis on hepatocarcinogenesis from early work at the National Cancer Institute, refinement by the National Toxico...

We describe a high mortality disease outbreak caused by an opportunistic bacterial infection in NSG mice. Affected animals exhibited perianal fecal staining, dehydration, and wasting. Histopathologic lesions included a primary necrotizing enterocolitis, with inflammatory and necrotizing lesions also occurring in the liver, kidneys, heart, and brain of some mice. All affected individuals tested negative for known opportunistic pathogens of immunodeficient mice. We initially identified a member of Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) in association with the outbreak by traditional diagnostics. ECC was cultured from extraintest...

Deep Learning-Based Spermatogenic Staging in Tissue Sections of Cynomolgus Macaque Testes
Toxicol Pathol. 2024 Mar 11:1926233241234059. doi: 10.1177/01926233241234059. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe indirect assessment of adverse effects on fertility in cynomolgus monkeys requires that tissue sections of the testis be microscopically evaluated with awareness of the stage of spermatogenesis that a particular cross-section of a seminiferous tubule is in. This difficult and subjective task could very much benefit from automation. Using digital whole slide images (WSIs) from tissue sections of testis, we have developed a deep learning model that can annotate the stage of each tubule with high sensitivity, precis...
