Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- no guideline available
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The purpose of the study was to determine the eye irritation potential of the test material 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 MTT assay, a colourimetric method of determining cell viability, is based on reduction of MTT to a blue formazan dye by mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase in viable cells.

Test animals / tissue source
- Species:
- human
- Strain:
- other: skinEthic reconstituted corneal model which consists of transformed human keratinocytes of the cell line HCE that form a corneal epithelial tissue
- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- The SkinEthic RHC model consists of transformed human keratinocytes of the cell line HCE (LSU EYE Center, New Orleans, USA) that form a corneal epithelial tissue (mucosa), devoid of stratum corneum, resembling, histologically, the mucosa of the human eye. The test material is applied directly to the culture surface, at the air interface, so that undiluted and/or end use dilutions can be tested directly. The model consists of an airlifted, living, corneal tissue construct, produced in polycarbonate inserts in serum free and chemically defined medium.
The test is based on the hypothesis that irritant chemicals are able to penetrate the stratum corneum of the SkinEthic RHC model and are sufficiently cytotoxic to cause cell death in the underlying cell layers.
Cytotoxicity was determined by the reduction of MTT to formazan by viable cells in the test material treated tissues (quantitative measurement of tissue viability) relative to the negative control.
One tissue for each treatment group was retained for possible tissue histopathology.

Test system
- Vehicle:
- other: The positive control material, Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS), was prepared as a 1% w/v solution in sterile distilled water.
- Controls:
- other: The positive control material, Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS), was prepared as a 1% w/v solution in sterile distilled water. Negative control consisted of Na2HPO4 0.142 g/L, Glucose 1.802 g/L, HEPES 7.149 g/L, KCl 0.224 g/L, NaCl 7.597 g/L
- Amount / concentration applied:
- 30 mg of test material
30 µL of negative control solution
30 µL 1% SDS positive controls
300 µL of 0.5 mg/mL MTT in maintenance medium - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 10 min
- Observation period (in vivo):
- After 10 min treatment, tissues were rinsed and then loaded with fresh MTT solution for 3 h at 37 deg C, 5% CO2 in air.
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- Triplicate tissues
- Details on study design:
- 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 material followed by the main test.
For the main test, triplicate SkinEthic tissues were treated with 30 mg of the test material for 10 minutes. Triplicate tissues treated with 30 µl of Solution A served as the negative control and triplicate tissues treated with 30 µl of 1% w/v Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate served as the positive control.
At the end of the exposure period each SkinEthic tissue was rinsed. The rinsed tissues (two per group) were taken for MTT loading. The remaining tissues were retained for possible histopathology. Following MTT loading the reduced MTT was extracted from the 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 540 nm (OD540). Data are presented in the form of percentage viability (MTT conversion relative to negative controls).
The test material was classified according to the following criteria:
i) If the percentage relative mean tissue viability was ≥60% the test material was considered to be non irritant (NI).
ii) If the percentage relative mean tissue viability was <60% the test material was considered to be an irritant (I).
Results and discussion
In vivo
- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- The relative mean viability of the test material treated tissues affter a 10 minute exposure was 105.2%; it was unecessary to proceed with tissue histopathology. According to the protocol, the test material was considered to be a non-irritant.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: in vitro viability
- Conclusions:
- Based on relative mean tissue viability, the test material was considered to be non-irritant to the eyes.
- Executive summary:
The purpose of this study was to determine the eye irritation potential of the test material, neodymium carbonate, using the SkinEthic Reconstituted Human Corneal model (HCE, SkinEthic Laboratories) 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 relative mean viability of the test material treated tissues after a 10 minute exposure was 105.2%, well above the criteria set to be considered an irritant (relative mean tissue viability was ≥ 60%).
Thus, according to the protocol followed the test material neodymium carbonate was considered to be non-irritant to the eyes. It was considered unnecessary to proceed with tissue histopathology.
