In vitro test system
- Test system:
- human skin model
- Source species:
- human
- Cell source:
- other: reconstructed human epidermal model that is grown from human-derived epidermal keratinocytes
- Details on animal used as source of test system:
- The model is a three-dimensional reconstructed human epidermis model consisting of human-derived epidermal keratinocytes.
Multiple layers of viable epithelial cells are present under a functional stratum corneum. The stratum corneum is multi-layered with the necessary lipid profile to produce a functional barrier. The containment properties of the model prevent the passage of material around the stratum corneum to the viable model tissue. The skin model was supplied free of contamination with bacteria, mycoplasma and fungi.
Pre-Test
-Assessment of Direct Test Item Reduction of MTT
In order to assess the potential non-specific reduction of the test material, 40 µL of test material was added to 0.3 mL of 1.0 mg/mL MTT and the colour change was assessed after three hours. There was no change in colour therefore the test material did not interact with MTT.
Main Test
Application of Test and Control Substances
On the day of receipt EpiDerm™ tissues were placed in a refrigerator. The next day, at least one hour before starting the assay, the tissues were transferred to 6-well plates with the assay medium, which was replaced immediately before the test was started. The test was performed on a total of four tissues per test material, negative and positive control, out of which two were used for a 3 minute application and two tissues were used for a 1 hour application. A volume of 40mL of the undiluted test material was added into the MILLICELL insert on top of the Epi-200 tissues. Further tissues were concurrently treated with 40mL distilled water (negative control) and with 40mL 8N potassium hydroxide (positive control). After the 3-minute or 1-hour contact periods, the tissues were washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) to remove residual material. The rinsed tissues were kept in 24-well plates (holding plates) until all tissues were dosed and rinsed.
Cell Viability Measurements Once all tissues had been rinsed, they were transferred to wells containing 300mL of 1 mg/mL MTT-medium and were incubated for 3 hours (37°C). After incubation, the tissues were washed with PBS and any resultant colour was extracted with 2 mL isopropanol overnight. The optical density of each resultant extract was determined spectrophotometrically at 570 nm and cell viability was calculated for each tissue as a percentage of the mean of the negative control tissue. Skin corrosivity potential of the test material was classified according to the remaining cell viability obtained after test article treatment with either of the two treatment times.
Data Evaluation
The OD values obtained for each test sample were used to calculate the percentage viability relative to the negative control, which is arbitrarily set at 100 %. The prediction of corrosivity associated with the EpiDerm™ model is:
1. The test material is considered to be corrosive to skin if the viability after a three minute exposure is less than 50 %, or if the viability after three minutes exposure is greater than or equal to 50 % and the viability after one hour is less than 15% .
2. The test material is considered to be non-corrosive to skin if the viability after a three minute exposure is greater than or equal to 50 % and the viability after a one hour exposure is greater than or equal to 15 %. - Justification for test system used:
- The test has been scientifically validated and granted regulatory approval for the identification and classification of the corrosive potential of chemicals.
