Test animals / tissue source

Species:
other: three-dimensional human cornea tissue
Strain:
other: Commercially available EpiOcularTM kit.
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
The EpiOcularTM tissue consists of normal, human-derived keratinocytes which have been cultured to form a stratified squamous epithelium similar to that found in the human cor-nea. It consists of highly organized basal cells. These cells are not transformed or trans-fected with genes to induce an extended life span. The EpiOcularTM tissues are cultured in specially prepared cell culture inserts with a porous membrane through which nutrients can pass to the cells. The tissue surface is 0.6 cm2.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent positive control
yes, concurrent negative control
Amount / concentration applied:
50 microliters to two tissue replicates
Duration of treatment / exposure:
28 minutes
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
two in vitro replicates
Details on study design:
This study was performed in order to evaluate the potential of Tripelargonin to evoke eye irritation in a Reconstructed human Cornea-like Epithelium (RhCE) model in an in vitro study.
The EpiOcularTM Eye Irritation Test (EIT) predicts the acute ocular irritation potential of chemicals by measurement of its irreversible tissue damage caused by cytotoxic effects in the human cornea model. Within a testing strategy, the EpiOcularTM EIT is used as a re-placement of the Draize Eye Irritation Test.
It is utilized for the classification and labelling of chemicals concerning their eye irritation potential. The EpiOcularTM EIT is intended to differentiate substances that are “not eye irritant” from those that require labelling as either GHS category 1 or 2 for serious eye damage resp. eye irritation potential.
Eye irritant materials are identified by their ability to produce a decrease in cell viability as determined. The cell viability is measured by dehydrogenase conversion of MTT (3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromide), present in cell mitochondria, into a blue formazan salt that is quantitatively measured after extraction from tissues. The per-centage reduction of cell viability in comparison of untreated negative controls is used to predict the eye irritation potential. The formazan production was evaluated by measuring the optical density (OD) of the resulting solution.
