Add comprehensive GI organoid toxicity screening example for NAMO
This commit adds a detailed example demonstrating how to model intestinal organoid-derived epithelial monolayer systems for Phase IV drug metabolite toxicity screening using the NAMO schema. New files: - tests/data/valid/Dataset-GI-toxicity-example.yaml: Complete working example of an OrganOnChip model with comprehensive multi-throughput functional assays - tests/data/valid/GI-toxicity-example-README.md: Documentation explaining the example, usage instructions, and customization guidance Key features of the example: Model System (OrganOnChip): - Human intestinal organoid-derived epithelial monolayers - Dual-chamber microfluidic design with accessible apical/basal compartments - Complete device specifications (TWO_CHANNEL architecture, porous polymer membrane, TEER sensors, collagen/fibronectin surface treatment) - Mixed epithelial cell population (enterocytes, goblet cells, Paneth cells, enteroendocrine cells) Multi-Throughput Functional Assays (17 total): - High-throughput (96/384-well): Cell viability (MTT, ATP), cytotoxicity (LDH), calcium signaling (Fluo-4), ROS generation (DCF), ER stress markers (BiP/GRP78, CHOP), mitochondrial membrane potential (TMRE) - Medium-throughput (24-well): TEER measurements, paracellular permeability (FITC-dextran, Lucifer Yellow) - Low-throughput (microscopy): Junction integrity (ZO-1, occludin, E-cadherin), cell morphology/swelling, calcium dynamics (time-lapse), ER stress (confocal imaging, XBP1 splicing), redox state (GSH/GSSG), apoptosis (cleaved caspase-3) Structured Concordance: - Molecular similarity with gene expression analysis (VIL1, CDX2, MUC2, TJP1, OCLN) and statistical significance metrics - Functional parity with detailed methodology for each of 17 assays including units, reference values, and protocols - Cell type coverage with proportions and missing cell types - Reproducibility with quality control metrics (confluence, TEER, viability) Study Design: - Context: Regulatory toxicology and Phase IV post-market drug safety - Perturbations: Drug metabolites at 0.1-100 μM, acute (4-24h) and chronic (48-72h) exposure via apical chamber - Endpoints: Comprehensive description organized by throughput level - Validation: Comparison with known GI toxicants, Caco-2 cells, and FDA FAERS clinical adverse event data This example demonstrates NAMO best practices for: 1. Organizing functional assays by throughput level 2. Providing quantitative methodology for each endpoint 3. Capturing device technical specifications 4. Linking model validation to clinical/regulatory context 5. Using structured concordance for comprehensive model characterization The example validates successfully against the NAMO schema and serves as a template for modeling similar organoid-based toxicity screening workflows.
