Test principle of the EpiDermTM Corrosivity-Test:
The EpiDermTM Corrosivity-Test is an in vitro test procedure used for the detection of the corrosive potential of a test substance.
Corrosive materials are identified by their ability to produce a decrease in cell viability, as determined, for example, by using the MTT reduction assay, below defined threshold levels at specified exposure periods. The principle of the human skin model assay is based on the hypothesis that corrosive chemicals are able to penetrate the stratum corneum by diffusion or erosion, and are cytotoxic to the underlying cell layers.
The test material was applied unchanged topically to a three-dimensional human skin model comprising at least a reconstructed epidermis with a functional stratum corneum for 3 minutes and 1 hour. Negative and positive controls were added. - GLP compliance:

- MESH COMPATIBILITY
Since the test item was a liquid, a nylon mesh was used as a spreading support. To exclude a reaction of the testitem with the mesh, the compatibility of the test item with the nylon mesh was first checked. For this purpose, the test item and the mesh were brought together on a slide and the reaction was observed after 60 minutes exposure, using a microscope. An interaction between test item and the mesh was not noticed. Therefore the test substance was applied using a mesh for spreading.
PRETEST [Direct MTT Reduction]
The decrease in cell viability as indicator for corrosivity was determined by using the MTT reduction assay (i.e. [3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide].
Approximately 50 μL test item was added to 0.9 mL of the MTT solution. The mixture was incubated in the dark at 37 °C for 55 - 65 minutes. A negative control (50 μL of doubly distilled water) was tested concurrently. If the MTT solution colour or in case of water-insoluble test substances the border to the water-phase turns blue/purple, the test item is presumed to directly reduce MTT. The direct reduction of MTT by a test item interferes with the colour density produced by metabolic capacity of the tissue and would falsify the test results. In case that direct MTT reduction occurs one freeze-killed control tissue per exposure time is treated with, each, the test article and the negative control, in the same way as described below, additionally.
CORROSION TEST
On day of receipt EpiDermTM tissues were kept in the refrigerator. At least 1 hour but not more than 1.5 hours before test-item application, tissues were transferred to 6-well plates with 0.9 mL assay medium and preconditioned in the incubator at 37°C. The preincubation medium was replaced with fresh medium immediately before application.
Two tissues per exposure time (3 minutes at room temperature or 1 hour in the incubator, as a rule) and test group (test material, negative control and positive control; 12 tissues per test) were used. Where applicable, one killed tissue per exposure time is treated to control for direct MTT reduction. Fifty microliter (50 μL) of undiluted test item were applied using a pipette. Control tissues were concurrently treated with 50 μL of doubly distilled water (negative control, NC) or with 50 μL of 8 n potassium hydroxide (positive control, PC) or test substance (killed tissue control, KC). The tissues were washed with PBS to remove residual test material 3 minutes or 1 hour after start of treatment and were kept in 24-well plates (holding plates) at room temperature on assay medium until all tissues per application time were dosed and rinsed. The assay medium was then replaced by MTT solution and tissues were again incubated for 3 hours. After incubation, the tissues were washed with PBS and the precipitated blue Formazan product produced by the tissues was extracted with Isopropanol over night at room temperature. The optical density at a wavelength of 570 nm (OD570) of the extracts was determined spectrophotometrically. Blank values were established of 3 microtiter wells filled with Isopropanol for each microtiter plate.
IRRITATION TEST
On day of receipt EpiDermTM tissues were transferred to 6-well plates with 0.9 mL assay medium and preconditioned in the incubator at 37°C. The preincubation medium was replaced one hour later with fresh medium and preconditioning was continued for 18 +/- 3 hours. As for the corrosion assay, negative and positive controls (NC and PC) were added. Three tissues were treated with the test item, the PC and NC, respectively.
An amount of 30 μL of the undiluted liquid test item was applied using a pipette and a nylon mesh placed carefully onto the tissue surface afterwards.
Control tissues were concurrently applied with 30 μL of sterile PBS for negative control or with 30 μL of 5% SDS for positive control.
The tissues were kept under the laminar flow hood at room temperature for 25 minutes overall and for 35 minutes in the incubator. The tissues were washed with sterile PBS to remove residual test item 1 hour after start of application, blotted on sterile absorbent paper and transferred into new 6-well plates, pre-filled with 0.9 mL fresh medium. After rinsing, the surface of each tissue was carefully dried with a sterile cotton swab. Subsequently, the tissues were incubated at 37°C for 24 +/- 2 hours. Thereafter the tissues were transferred into new 6-well plates pre-filled with 0.9 mL of fresh medium and placed into the incubator for further 18 ± 2 hours. The assay medium was then replaced by 0.3 mL MTT solution and the tissues were incubated again for 3 hours. After incubation, the tissues were washed with PBS to stop the MTT-incubation. The formazan that was metabolically produced by the tissues was extracted by incubation of the tissues in isopropanol. The optical density at a wavelength of 570 nm (OD570) of the extracts was determined spectrophotometrically. Blank values were established of 6 microtiter wells filled with isopropanol for each microtiter plate.
EVALUATION
The OD570 values determined for the various tissues are measures of their viability. The quotient of the OD570 of tissues treated with the test material and the mean OD570 values of the NC (percent of control) is used for evaluating whether or not a test material is corrosive or an irritating.
ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
In case one of the below given acceptance criteria is not covered, repetition of the test is considered.
Assay acceptance criterion for the negative control (NC):
The absolute OD570 of the negative control tissues in the MTT test is an indicator of tissue viability obtained in the testing laboratory after the shipping and storing procedure and under specific conditions of the assay.
Tissue viability is acceptable if the mean OD570 of the NC is ≥ 1.0; the meain OD570 however should not exceed 2.5.
Assay acceptance criterion for the positive control (PC):
Potassium hydroxide as 8.0 normal ready made solution is used as positive reference for the corrosion test. A 3-minute treatment with 8.0 n KOH usually reveals a mean relative tissue viability of about 20%. An assay is acceptable if mean relative tissue viability of the 3 min positive control is ≤ 30%. In the case of the irritation test where 5% SDS is used as PC, a viability of ≤ 20% is considered acceptable.
Assay acceptance criterion for tissue variability:
For every treatment, 2 or 3 tissues are treated in parallel for the corrosion and the irritation test, respectively. The intertissue variability is considered to be acceptable if the difference of the OD570 values of the two tissues is ≤ 0.3 for the corrosion test, and if the standard deviation of % of viability is ≤ 20 for the irritation test.
Assay acceptance criterion for killed controls (KC):
The OD570 of the killed control tissues treated as negative control should be ≤ 0.35.
PREDICTION OF CORROSIVITY
A chemical is considered as "corrosive", if the mean relative tissue viability after 3 min treatment with a test material is decreased below 50%. In addition, those materials with a viability of ≥ 50% after 3 min treatment are considered as "corrosive" if the mean relative tissue viability after 1 hour treatment with a test material is decreased below 15%.
Mean tissue viability (% negative control) => Interpretation
- after 3 minutes: < 50 <=> Corrosive
- after 3 minutes: ≥ 50 and after 1 hour: < 15 <=> Corrosive
- after 3 minutes: ≥ 50 and after 1 hour: ≥ 15 <=> Non-corrosive
PREDICTION OF IRRITATION
The irritant potential of the test item is predicted from the mean relative tissue viabilities compared to the concurrent NC tissues. A chemical is considered as "irritant", if the mean relative tissue viability with a test item is less than or equal to 50%.
Mean tissue viability (% negative control) => Interpretation
- ≤ 50 <=> Irritant
- > 50 <=> Non-irritant
