In drug development, a major reason for attrition is the lack of understanding of cellular mechanisms governing drug toxicity. The black-box nature of conventional classification models has limited their utility in identifying toxicity pathways. Here we developed DTox (deep learning for toxicology), an interpretation framework for knowledge-guided neural networks, which can predict compound response to toxicity assays and infer toxicity pathways of individual compounds. We demonstrate that DTox can achieve the same level of predictive performance as conventional models with a significant improvement in interpretability. Using DTox, we were able to rediscover mechanisms of transcription activation by three nuclear receptors, recapitulate cellular activities induced by aromatase inhibitors and pregnane X receptor (PXR) agonists, and differentiate distinctive mechanisms leading to HepG2 cytotoxicity. Virtual screening by DTox revealed that compounds with predicted cytotoxicity are at higher risk for clinical hepatic phenotypes. In summary, DTox provides a framework for deciphering cellular mechanisms of toxicity in silico. DTox is a deep learning model for toxicity prediction with broad applicability It provides an interpretation framework to infer toxicity pathways of compounds We improve the interpretability of toxicity prediction without sacrificing accuracy DTox’s interpretation framework deciphers cellular mechanisms of toxicity in silico In drug development, a major reason for attrition is the lack of understanding of cellular mechanisms governing drug toxicity. It is challenging to explain the toxicity outcomes of newly developed compounds with limited prior knowledge. To address the challenge, we present DTox (Deep learning for Toxicology), a deep learning model incorporated with extensive knowledge from pathway ontology. DTox is a highly efficient learning model with good predictive performance. It is applicable to all compounds because it requires only chemical structure as model input. More importantly, the knowledge-guided structure of DTox enables us to identify network paths connecting query compounds to toxicity outcomes via target proteins, functional pathways, and general biological processes. Such paths can be viewed as mechanistic interpretation of toxicity and facilitate experimental investigation. We employ existing experimental datasets to validate the mechanistic interpretation by DTox and demonstrate its biological significance. Toxicity assessment is a critical step in drug development. To overcome the black-box nature of conventional classification models, Hao et al. propose an interpretable model named DTox (deep learning for toxicology) for predicting compound response to toxicity assays and inferring toxicity pathways of individual compounds. Validation studies using experimental datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of DTox in rediscovering known mechanisms, differentiating distinctive mechanisms, and recapitulating cellular activities leading to toxicity. DTox will benefit mechanistic studies in toxicology by generating testable hypotheses for further investigation.
