N2 - While hazard assessment of chemicals can make direct use of descriptive adverse outcome pathways (AOPs), risk assessment requires quantitative relationships from exposure to effect timing and magnitude. To seamlessly integrate the data generated by alternative methods or in vivo testing, quantitative AOPs (qAOPs) providing dose-time-response predictions are more valuable than qualitative AOPs. Here, we compare three approaches to qAOP building: empirical dose-response modeling, Bayesian network (BN) calibration, and systems biology (SB) modeling. These methods were applied to the quantification of a simplified oxidative stress induced chronic kidney disease AOP, on the basis of in vitro data obtained on RPTEC/TERT1 cells exposed to potassium bromate. Effectopedia was used to store the experimental data and the developed models in a unified representation so they can be compared and further analyzed. We argue that despite the fact that dose-response models give adequate fits to the data they should be accompanied by mechanistic SB modeling to gain a proper perspective on the quantification. BNs can be both more precise than dose-response models and simpler than SB models, but more experience with their usage is needed.
