- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The purpose of this study was to determine the eye irritation potential of the test item using the SkinEthic reconstructed Human Corneal Epithelium model (HCE, SkinEthic Laboratories, Lyon, France) after a treatment period of 10 minutes. The test is based on the hypothesis that irritant chemicals are able to penetrate the corneal epithelial tissue and are sufficiently cytotoxic to cause cell death.
The experimental design of the study consists of a test for direct reduction of MTT (3 [4,5 dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide) by the test item followed by the main test.
For the main test, triplicate SkinEthic tissues were treated with the test item for 10 minutes. At the end of the exposure period each SkinEthic tissue was rinsed. The rinsed tissues were taken for MTT-loading. After MTT-loading the tissues were removed and immersed in isopropanol for extraction of formazan crystals out of the MTT loaded tissues.
After extraction the absorbency of triplicate aliquots of the extracted MTT solution for each SkinEthic tissue was measured. The optical density was measured at 562 nm (OD562). Data are presented in the form of percentage viability (MTT conversion relative to negative controls).
The mean tissue viability for the test item was compared to the negative control and classified. - GLP compliance:

- Pre-Test – Assessment of Direct Test Item reduction of MTT
The MTT assay, a colorimetric 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 blue 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 to formazan, thus mimicking dehydrogenase activity of the cellular mitochondria of viable cells. This property of the test item is only a problem, if at the time of the MTT test (after the chemical has been rinsed off) there are still sufficient amounts of the test item on or in the tissues. To identify this possible interference, the test item was checked for its ability to reduce MTT directly.
30 µL of test item was added to 1 mL of a 0.5 mg/mL MTT solution and incubated at 37 °C, 5% CO2 in air for 3 hours. Untreated MTT solution was used as a control. If the MTT solution turned blue, the test item was presumed to have reduced the MTT.
Receipt and Preparation of Tissues
On arrival, the SkinEthic HCE tissues (Day 6 cultures), were stored at room temperature prior to transferring into 24-well plates designated ‘arrival plates’ containing 300 µL of maintenance medium. It was important to ensure that there were no air bubbles present under the tissue inserts. The tissues were incubated overnight at 37 °C, 5% CO2 in air.
Main Test
Using sterile techniques, 1 mL of maintenance medium at room temperature was dispensed into the appropriate number of wells of 6-well plates designated ‘treatment plates’. Each well was labeled with details of the treatment and the appropriate exposure time. Separate treatment plates were used for the test item, negative and positive controls to avoid the possibility of cross contamination occurring. Before treatment, the 7 day old tissues were transferred from the ‘arrival plates’ into the wells of the ‘treatment plates’ containing the maintenance medium.
Triplicate tissues were treated with 30 µL of the test item for 10 minutes. The tissues were dosed at regular timed intervals to allow for the period taken to rinse each insert following exposure and to ensure each tissue received an equal exposure time. Triplicate tissues were treated with 30 µL of solution A to serve as negative controls and triplicate tissues were treated with 30 µL of 2% w/v SDS to serve as positive controls. The plates were incubated at 37 °C, 5% CO2 in air during the exposure time.
At the end of the relevant exposure period, each tissue insert was removed from the well using forceps and rinsed using a wash bottle containing Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS) without Ca++ and Mg++. Rinsing was achieved by filling and emptying each tissue insert using a constant soft stream of DPBS to gently remove any residual test item. Excess DPBS was removed by blotting the bottom of the insert with absorbent paper. Each tissue was placed into a pre-labeled 24-well plate designated ‘holding plate’ containing 300 µL of maintenance medium (at room temperature) until all the tissues were rinsed. Following rinsing, the tissues were transferred to a pre-labeled 24-well plate designated ‘MTT Loading plate’ containing 300 µL of a 0.5 mg/mL MTT solution freshly prepared in maintenance medium. The MTT loading plate was placed into an incubator for approximately three hours at 37 °C, 5% CO2 in air.
At the end of the incubation period the inserts were rinsed twice with phosphate buffered saline and blotted on absorbent paper to remove residual MTT solution and transferred to a pre-labeled 24-well plate designated ‘MTT extraction plate’ containing 0.75 mL of isopropanol in each of a sufficient number of wells. An extra 0.75 mL of isopropanol was added onto each tissue and the plate sealed to prevent isopropanol evaporation. The plate was wrapped in aluminum foil (to protect from light) and allowed to stand overnight at room temperature to extract the formazan crystals out of the tissue.
At the end of the extraction period, each tissue insert was pierced with a pipette fitted with a 1000 µL tip and the extraction solution forced vigorously up and down through the tissue insert until a homogeneous solution was obtained. The empty inserts were discarded. For each tissue triplicate 200 µL samples were transferred to the appropriate wells of a pre-labeled 96-well plate. 200 µL of isopropanol alone was added to three wells designated as ‘blanks’. The optical density was measured (quantitative measurement of tissue viability) at 562nm (OD562) using the Anthos 2001 microplate reader.
