Assessment of Direct Test Item Reduction of MTT
MTT Dye Metabolism, Cell Viability Assay: The MTT assay, a colourimetric method of determining cell viability, is based on reduction of the yellow tetrazolium salt (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide) to a purple formazan dye by mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase in viable cells.
One limitation of the assay is possible interference of the test item with MTT. A test item may directly reduce MTT, thus mimicking dehydrogenase activity of the cellular mitochondria. This property of the test item is only a problem, if at the time of the MTT test (after rinsing) there are still sufficient amounts of the test item present on or in the tissues. In this case, the true metabolic MTT reduction and the false direct MTT reduction can be differentiated and quantified.
Test for Direct MTT Reduction: As specified, a test item may interfere with the MTT endpoint, if it was able to directly reduce MTT and at the same time was present on or in the tissues when the MTT viability test was performed. To identify this possible interference, the test item was checked for the ability to directly reduce MTT according to the procedure below:
20 mg of the test item was added to 2.2 ml of a 0.3 mg/ml MTT solution freshly prepared in assay medium. The solution was incubated in the dark at room temperature for 3 hours. Untreated MTT solution was used as a control.
If the MTT solution containing the test item turns blue/purple relative to the control, the test item was presumed to have reduced the MTT.
Pre-Incubation (Day 0: tissue arrival)
2.2 ml of maintenance medium, warmed to approximately 37ºC, was pipetted into two wells of the first column of a pre-labelled 12-well plate. Each epidermis unit was transferred into the maintenance medium filled wells (2 units per plate). A different 12 well plate was used for each test item, control and time point. The tissues were incubated at 37ºC, 5% CO2 in air for at least 24 hours. After 24 hours the medium underneath the tissues was refreshed and the tissues were returned to the incubator for a further 24 hours.
Main Test
Application of Test Item and Rinsing (Day 2)
2.2 ml of assay medium, warmed to approximately 37ºC, was pipetted into 2 wells of the second and third columns of the 12-well plate. The tissues were transferred into the second column.
Duplicate tissues were treated with the test item for exposure periods of 3, 60 and 240 minutes. Duplicate tissues were treated with the positive and negative control items for an exposure period of 240 minutes. 20 mg of the solid test item was applied topically to the corresponding tissues ensuring uniform coverage of the tissues. 100 µl of 0.9% w/v sodium chloride solution was added for wetting of the test item. Duplicate tissues, treated with 50 µl of 0.9% w/v sodium chloride solution served as negative controls. Duplicate tissues, treated with 50 µl of glacial acetic acid served as positive controls. The treated tissues were kept in a biological safety cabinet at room temperature for the appropriate exposure period.
At the end of each exposure period, each tissue was removed from the well using forceps and rinsed using a wash bottle containing Phosphate Buffered Saline Dulbeccos (PBS) with Ca++ and Mg++. Rinsing was achieved by filling and emptying each tissue insert for approximately 40 seconds using a constant soft stream of PBS to gently remove any residual test item. Each rinsed tissue was placed into the third column of the 12-well plate until all tissues were rinsed.
2.2 ml of a 0.3 mg/ml MTT solution, freshly prepared in assay medium, was pipetted into 2 wells of the fourth column of each 12 well plate. The tissues were transferred into the MTT filled wells. The tissues were incubated for 3 hours ± 5 minutes at room temperature in a biological safety cabinet ensuring that the plates were protected from light. At the end of the 3 Hour incubation period each tissue was placed onto absorbent paper to dry. A total biopsy of the epidermis was taken using the EPISKINTM biopsy punch. The epidermis was carefully separated from the collagen matrix using forceps and both parts (epidermis and collagen matrix) were placed into labelled 1.5 ml micro tubes containing 850 µl of acidified isopropanol. Each tube was plugged, mixed thoroughly and stored overnight at room temperature, protected from light, to extract formazan crystals out of the MTT loaded tissues.
Absorbance/Optical Density Measurements (Day 3)
At the end of the formazan extraction period each tube was mixed thoroughly on a vortex mixer to produce a homogenous coloured solution.
For each tissue, duplicate 200 µl samples were transferred to the appropriate wells of a pre-labelled 96 well plate. 200 µl of acidified isopropanol alone was added to the two wells designated as ‘blanks’. The optical density was measured (quantitative viability analysis) at 540 nm (without a reference filter) using the Anthos 2001 microplate reader.

In vivo
- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- The MTT solution containing the test item did not turn blue/purple. This was taken to indicate the test item did not reduce MTT.
- Other effects:
- The relative mean tissue viability for the positive control treated tissues was 6.9% relative to the negative control treated tissues following the 240-Minute exposure period. The positive control acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.
The mean OD540 for the negative control treated tissues was 0.231. The negative control acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.

- Executive summary:
Introduction:
The purpose of this test is to evaluate the corrosivity potential of the test item using the EPISKIN™ in vitro Reconstituted Human Epidermis (RHE) Model after treatment periods of 3, 60 and 240 minutes. This method was designed to meet the requirements of the following:
• GECD Guideline for the Testing of Chemicals No. 431 "In Vitro Skin Corrosion: Human Skin Model Test" (adopted 13 April 2004)
The EPISKIN™ model is able to distinguish between corrosive and non-corrosive chemicals for all of the chemical types studied, and is also able to distinguish between known R35 (UN packing group I) and R34 (UN packing group II & III) chemicals.
Methods:
Duplicate tissues were treated with the test item for exposure periods of 3, 60 and 240 minutes. At the end of the exposure period the test item was rinsed from each tissue before each tissue was taken for MTT-Ioading. After MTT loading a total biopsy of each epidermis was made and placed into micro tubes containing acidified isopropanol for extraction of formazan crystals out of the MTT-loaded tissues.
At the end of the formazan extraction period each tube was mixed thoroughly and duplicate 200 ~I samples were transferred to the appropriate wells of a pre-labelled 96-well plate. The optical density was measured at 540 nm. Data are presented in the form of percentage viability (MTT reduction in the test item treated tissues relative to negative control tissues).
Results:
The relative mean viability of the test item treated tissues was: PAGE 6
240 minutes exposure 85.7%
60 minutes exposure 84.8%
3 minutes exposure 82.7%
Quality criteria:
The quality criteria required for acceptance of results in the test were satisfied.
Conclusion:
The test item was considered to be Non-Corrosive to the skin.
