The study objective was to calculate tPODs in rainbow trout gill cells (RTgill-W1 following Organisation for Economic Co-operaon and Development [OECD] 249) exposed to pesticides, and to evaluate how these values compare to fish acute and chronic toxicity data. Cells were exposed to one fungicide (chlorothalonil), 10 herbicides (atrazine, glyphosate, imazethapyr, metolachlor, diquat, s-metolachlor, aminomethylphosphonic acid, dicamba, dimethenamid-P, metribuzin), eight insecticides (chlorpyrifos, diazinon, permethrin, carbaryl, clothianidin, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, chlorantraniliprole), and OECD 249 positive control 3,4-dichloroaniline. Pesticide concentrations in wells were modeled with IV-MBM EQP Ver. 2.1. Sequencing libraries were prepared with UPXome, and tPODs calculated with ExpressAnalyst. The method identified 14,449 unique genes, with 1,115 genes having &amp;gt;5 counts in the 576 samples sequenced. For all chemicals, tPODs were derived, and tPOD mode values ranged from 0.0004 to 125\u2009\u00b5M with an average of 36\u2009\u00b5M. There were significant correlations between tPOD mode values (x-value) and median effect concentrations from RTgill-W1 cells (y\u2009=\u20090.92x\u2009+\u20091.2, R2\u2009=\u20090.9, p\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.00001; n\u2009=\u200911), rainbow trout acute toxicity median lethal concentrations (y\u2009=\u20090.81x\u2009+\u20090.8, R2\u2009=\u20090.63, p\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.0001; n\u2009=\u200920), fish chronic sublethal effect concentrations (y\u2009=\u20090.53x \u2212 0.2, R2\u2009=\u20090.4, p\u2009=\u20090.009; n\u2009=\u200916), and fish chronic lethal effect concentrations (y\u2009=\u20090.64x \u2212 0.023, R2\u2009=\u20090.59, p\u2009=\u20090.0013; n\u2009=\u200914). Bland\u2013Altman plot analyses of these comparisons also showed good agreement. Pathway-level benchmark doses were calculated when statistical requirements were met, and only possible for four pesticides. These findings support the notion that tPODs from short-term in vitro studies may be comparable to effect concentration data from in vivo studies of fish exposed for chronic durations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/etojnl\/vgaf017","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,16]],"date-time":"2025-01-16T11:09:24Z","timestamp":1737025764000},"page":"2622-2634","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Comparison
