- TISSUES CONSTRUCTS
- RhCE tissue construct used, including batch number: 0.60 cm² Reconstructed human Cornea-like Epithelia (EpiOcularTM OCL-212-ver2.0-EA, supplied by MatTek Corporation, batch No. 30692) were received on 19 January 2021. The 2 additional killed Human skin models (EpiOcularTM OCL-212-ver2.0, supplied by MatTek Corporation, batch No. 27009 kit C) had been frozen on 17 October 2017 and defrozen on 27 November 2018 (1st freeze-thaw cycle), frozen again on 28 November 2018 to be defrozen (2nd freeze-thaw cycle) the day of the treatment, on 20 January 2021.
- Pre-incubation of the tissues:
On 19 January 2021, the tissues in their well shipping container were equilibrated to room temperature for 15 minutes. Then the inserts (filter + epithelium) were gently removed from the agarose while avoiding leaving agarose on the polycarbonate filter. They were placed in 6 wells culture plate which had been previously filled with 1 mL of 37°C pre-warmed assay medium (MatTek Corporation, batch No. 01182ISA) and incubated for 19 hours and 40 minutes at standard culture conditions.
- Indication of controls used for direct MTT-reducers:
The direct interaction of MTT with the test item was checked by adding 50 µL of the test item to 1 mL of solution of MTT at 1 mg/mL (same conditions as in the main test). A blue and purple solution was observed after 2 hours and 57 minutes of incubation between 35.4°C and 36.8°C, 5% CO2.
> Therefore, the test item was identified as a direct MTT reducer. Two additional killed control tissues were added to the study which underwent the entire testing procedure to generate a non-specific MTT reduction control.
- Indication of controls used for colouring test chemicals:
The spectral properties at 570 nm of test item in isopropanol were checked by adding 50 µL of the test item to 2 mL of isopropanol (same conditions as in the main test). A yellow solution was obtained after 2 hours of incubation at ambient temperature with gentle shaking. The mean of the corrected OD (blank subtracted) was 0.003 which is less than 0.08 (value corresponding to approximately twice the OD of the extracting solvent).
> Therefore, the test item will not interfere with the MTT assay and there is no need to add non-specific coloration controls to the study.
MAIN TEST
- Pre-treatment:
After the overnight incubation, the tissues were pre-wetted with 50 μL of Ca2+Mg2+Free-DPBS (Dutscher - Batch No. 5860820). The tissues were incubated at standard culture conditions for 30 minutes.
- Treatment and post-treatment incubation of the tissues:
The test item was applied as supplied, at the dose of 50 μL, to the entire surface of 2 living RhCE tissue replicates during 30 minutes at standard culture conditions. The test item being non-miscible with the DPBS, it was impossible to spread it on all the tissue.
As the test item was identified as a direct MTT reducer. Thereby, the experimentation was repeated on two killed control tissue models which underwent the entire testing procedure to generate a non-specific MTT reduction control.
In the same experimental conditions, a positive control (Methyl acetate - Sigma-Aldrich, batch No. BCBX8836) and a negative control (distilled water - ADL Prochilab - Batch No. 200824) were carried out. The controls were applied, as supplied, at the dose of 50 μL, to the surface of 2 RhCE tissue replicates during 30 minutes at standard culture conditions.
After the treatment, the test item and control substances were carefully washed from the RhCE tissues by extensive rinsing with Ca2+Mg2+Free-DPBS (Dutscher - Batch No. 5260820). The rinsed tissues were checked for any coloration and noted to be white, comparable coloration to that of the negative control tissues.
This rinsing step was followed by a 12-minute post-exposure immersion period at room temperature in 5 mL of fresh medium to remove any test item absorbed into the tissue.
The RhCE constructs were then incubated for a 1 hour and 45 minutes post-exposure incubation at standard culture conditions in 1 mL of fresh medium at 37°C, 5% CO2.
- MTT viability assay:
Following the exposure to the test item, viability measurements are performed immediately after the post-exposure incubation period of the rinsed tissues in fresh medium. This period allows both for recovery from weak cytotoxic effects and for appearance of clear cytotoxic effects.
The RhCE tissue viability was measured by enzymatic conversion of the vital dye MTT [3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide; Thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide; CAS No. 298-93-1] by the viable cells of the tissue into a blue MTT formazan salt that is quantitatively measured after extraction from tissues.
The RhCE constructs were placed in 300 µL of a MTT solution at 1.0 mg/mL for 3 hours and 03 minutes at standard culture conditions.
The precipitated blue formazan product was then extracted from the tissues by placing each insert in 2 mL of isopropanol during 24 hours and 45 minutes at 7+/-3°C in the dark.
The concentration of formazan was measured by determining the OD at 570 nm, just after dilution of the extractions in isopropanol (1:2).
The OD at 570 nm was measured in triplicate samples of formazan extracts.
The measured OD are proportional to the number of living cells.
The measurement of OD was performed using the ELx800 absorbance microplate reader (controlled every year and calibrated if necessary) supplied by BioTek and the validated software Gen5 ELISA V1.05.11 supplied by BioTek.

- MTT VIABILITY ASSAY RESULTS
As the test item was identified as a direct MTT reducer, the true tissue viability is calculated as the percent tissue viability obtained with living tissues exposed to the MTT reducer minus the percent non-specific MTT reduction obtained with the killed tissues exposed to the same reducer, calculated relative to the negative control run concurrently to the test being corrected (%NSMTT).
> Therefore, the corrected mean percent viability of the RhCE replicates treated with the test item DAVANA ESSENTIAL OIL D0435 was 88.61% versus 28.80% in the positive control (Methyl acetate).
DEMONSTRATION OF TECHNICAL PROFICIENCY: Proficiency chemicals were tested according to the OECD TG 492.
ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
These results are in accordance with the acceptability criteria:
- The OD of the negative control was higher or equal to 0.8 and lower or equal to 2.8,
- The relative mean tissue viability for the positive control treated tissues was < 50% relative to the negative control,
