Description of key information

This endpoint was assessed in a weight of evidence approach.


Three key elements of the AOP for skin sensitisation have been adressed in vitro. The results are shown below:


 


OECD 442 C: inconclusive due to precipitation of the test material


OECD 442 D: non-sensitizer


OECD 442 E: non-sensitizer


 


Test item showed minimal reactivity towards the cysteine peptide in the OECD Guideline 442C. Due to the observed precipitation the prediction model does not apply and a prediction cannot be made. However, the test item does not activate keratinocytes (OECD 442D) and did not upregulate the expression of the cell surface markers (OECD 442E). Therefore, it can be concluded that the test item is not sensitizing to skin.

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
In this study under the given conditions the test item showed minimal reactivity towards the cysteine peptide. Due to the observed precipitation the prediction model does not apply and a prediction cannot be made.
The data generated with this test should be considered in the context of integrated approached such as IATA, combining the result with other complementary information, e.g. derived from in vitro assays addressing other key events of the skin sensitisation AOP.
Executive summary:

In the present study the test material was dissolved in acetonitrile, based on the results of the pre-experiments


Based on a molecular weight of 338 g/mol a 100 mM stock solution was prepared. The test item solutions were tested by incubating the samples with the peptides containing either cysteine or lysine for 24 ± 2 h at 25 ± 2.5 °C. Subsequently samples were analysed by HPLC.


For the 100 mM stock solution of the test item no turbidity or precipitation was observed when diluted with the cysteine peptide solution. After the 24 h ± 2 h incubation period but prior to the HPLC analysis samples were inspected for precipitation, turbidity or phase separation. Precipitation was observed for the samples of the positive control (excluding the co-elution control of the positive control). Phase separation was observed for the samples of the test item. Samples of the positive control were centrifuged prior to the HPLC analysis.


For the 100 mM stock solution of the test item no turbidity or precipitation was observed when diluted with the lysine peptide solution. After the 24 h ± 2 h incubation period but prior to the HPLC analysis samples were inspected for precipitation, turbidity or phase separation. Phase separation was observed for the samples of the positive control (excluding the co-elution control of the positive control). Phase separation was also observed for the samples of the test item. Samples were not centrifuged prior to the HPLC analysis.


Since the acceptance criteria of the depletion range of the positive control were fulfilled, the observed precipitations and phase separation were regarded as insignificant.


Due to the observed phase separation after the incubation period in the lysine peptide samples, prediction model 2 based on the cysteine peptide depletion only should be considered. However, precipitation was observed as well in the cysteine experiment.


The 100 mM stock solution of the test item showed minimal reactivity towards the synthetic peptides. The mean depletion of the cysteine peptide was  6.38 % (0 %).


According to the evaluation criteria in the guideline, if a precipitation or phase separation is observed after the incubation period, peptide depletion may be underestimated and a conclusion on the lack of reactivity cannot be drawn with sufficient confidence in case of a negative result. Due to the observed precipitation in the cysteine experiment no prediction can be made.


The 100 mM stock solution of the positive control (cinnamic aldehyde) showed high reactivity towards the synthetic peptides. The mean depletion of both peptides was 64.04 %.

The in vitro KeratinoSens™ assay enables detection of the sensitising potential of a test item by addressing the second molecular key event of the adverse outcome pathway (AOP), namely activation of keratinocytes, by quantifying the luciferase activity in the transgenic cell line KeratinoSens™. The luciferase activity, assessed by luminescence measurement, compared to the respective solvent controls is used to support discrimination between skin sensitisers and non-sensitisers.

Positive control results:
The luciferase activity induced by the positive control at a concentration of 64 µM was between 2 and 8 (4.26 (experiment 1); 4.34 (experiment 2)).

Acceptance Criteria

The test meets acceptance criteria if:
- the luciferase activity induction of the positive control is statistically significant above the threshold of 1.5 (using a t-test) in at least one of the tested concentrations
- the average induction in the three technical replicates for the positive control at a concentration of
64 µM is between 2 and 8
- the EC1.5 value of the positive control is within two standard deviations of the historical mean
- the average coefficient of variation (CV; consisting of 6 wells) of the luminescence reading for the
negative (solvent) control DMSO is <20 % in each repetition.

The controls fullfilled the validity criteria of the test.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In this study under the given conditions the test item did not induce the luciferase activity in the transgenic KeratinoSens™ cell line in at least two independent experiment runs. Therefore, the test item can be considered as non-sensitiser.
The data generated with this method may be not sufficient to conclude on the absence of skin sensitisation potential of chemicals and should be considered in the context of integrated approach such as IATA.
Executive summary:

In the present study the test material was dissolved in DMSO. Based on a molecular weight of 338 g/mol a stock solution of 200 mM was prepared.The main experiments were performed using two different batches (experiment 1: D017011497; experiment 2: D017144397) because of the expiry date of the first batch of the test item.

Based on the stock solution a set of twelve master solutions in 100% solvent was prepared by serial dilution using a constant dilution factor of 1:2. These master solutions were diluted 1:100 in cell culture medium. The following concentration range was tested in the assay:

2000, 1000, 500, 250, 125, 62.5, 31.25, 15.63, 7.81, 3.91, 1.95, 0.98 µM

Cells were incubated with the test item for 48 h at 37°C. After exposure cells were lysed and luciferase activity was assessed by luminescence measurement.

In the first experiment, no significant luciferase induction >1.5 was found in the tested concentration range. Therefore, no EC1.5 value could be calculated.

In the second experiment, no significant luciferase induction >1.5 was found in the tested concentration range. Therefore, no EC1.5 value could be calculated.

No dose response for luciferase activity induction was observed for each individual run as well as for an overall luciferase activity induction.

Under the condition of this study the test item is therefore considered as non-sensitiser.

Type of study:
activation of dendritic cells
Details on the study design:
The in vitro human cell line activation test (h-CLAT) enables detection of the sensitising potential of a test item by addressing the third molecular key event of the adverse outcome pathway (AOP), namely dendritic cell activation, by quantifying the expression of the cell surface markers CD54 and CD86 in the human monocytic cell line THP-1. The expression of the cell surface markers compared to the respective solvent controls is used to support discrimination between skin sensitisers and non-sensitisers.
Positive control results:
The positive control (DNCB) led to an upregulation of the expression of CD54 and CD86 in both
experiments. The threshold of 150 % for CD86 (273 % experiment 1; 348 % experiment 2) and
200 % for CD54 (250 % experiment 1; 371 % experiment 2) were clearly exceeded.

Executive summary:

In the present study the test material was dissolved in DMSO. For the dose finding assay stock solutions with concentrations ranging from 500 mg/mL to 3.91 mg/mL were prepared by a serial dilution of 1:2. Cells were incubated with the test item for 24 h at 37 °C. After exposure cells were stained with propidium iodide and cell viability was measured by FACS analysis. In the dose finding assay, precipitates and turbidity and oily droplets were observed for working solutions 1 – 4 (500 mg/mL – 62.5 mg/ml - 1000 µg/ml – 125 µg/mL applied concentration) when diluted 1:250 in cell culture medium.


A CV75 of 42.55 ± 19.77 µg/mL was derived in the dose finding assay.


Based on the CV75, the main experiment was performed covering the following concentration steps:


51.06, 42.55, 35.46, 29.55, 24.63, 20.52, 17.10, 14.25 µg/mL


In the main experiment no precipitation or turbidity of the test item was observed for all tested concentration steps when diluted 1:250 in cell culture medium.


Cells were incubated with the test item for 24 h at 37 °C. After exposure cells were stained and cell surface markers CD54 and CD86 were measured by FACS analysis. Cell viability was assessed in parallel using propidium iodide staining.


Cytotoxic effects were observed for the cells treated with the test item. Relative cell viability at the highest test item concentration was reduced to 9.2 % (CD86), 8.8 % (CD54) and 8.7 % (isotype IgG1 control) in the first experiment and to 5.4 % (CD86), 4.6 % (CD54) and 4.4 % (isotype IgG1 control) in the second experiment.


The expression of the cell surface marker CD86 was upregulated to 449 % and 389 % in the first experiment and to 282 % in the second


experiment. The upregulation above the threshold of 150 % was observed at a concentration of 51.06 µg/mL and 42.55 µg/mL in the first experiment and at a concentration of 51.06 µg/mL in the second experiment.The expression of the cell surface marker CD54 was upregulated to 626 %, 678 % and 263 % in the first experiment and to 337 % in the second experiment. The upregulation above the threshold of 200 % was observed at a concentration of 51.06 µg/mL, 42.55 µg/mL and 35.46 µg/mL in the first experiment and at a concentration of 51.06 µg/mL in the second experiment.


The induction of the expression of both cell surface markers occurred only at cytotoxic concentrations. Since there was no induction of the expression of the cell surface markers CD86 and CD54 in the other non-cytotoxic concentrations, the test item can be considered as non-sensitiser.
