TEST SKIN MODEL
- Source: SkinEthic Laboratories, Nice, France

TEST METHOD
The EPISKIN model is a three-dimensional reconstructed human epidermis model consisting of adult human-derived epidermal keratinocytes seeded on a dermal substitute consisting of a collagen type I matrix coated with type IV collagen (EPISKIN Model Kit, SkinEthic Laboratories, Nice, France). A highly differentiated and stratified epidermis model is obtained after a 13-Day culture period comprising the main basal, spinous and granular layers and a functional stratum corneum. The test item is applied topically to the stratum corneum surface, at the air interface, so that undiluted and/or end use dilutions can be tested directly. The test is based on the experience that irritant chemicals are cytotoxic after exposure to the EPISKIN model. Irritant chemicals are able to penetrate the stratum corneum and are sufficiently cytotoxic to cause cell death in the underlying cell layers after a longer incubation period. Toxicity is determined by the metabolic conversion of the vital dye MTT to formazan by viable cells in the test item treated cultures relative to the negative control. Additionally, IL-1alpha in the culture medium is measured to for test items which are borderline non-irritant based on MTT reduction. This complementary endpoint will be used to either confirm a non-irritant result or to override the non-irritant result.

ADAPTATION TO CELL CULTURE CONDITIONS
Tissues were transferred into 12-well plates containing 2 mL of prewarmed maintenance medium and incubated for 1 day at 5% CO2.

Details on study design:

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: The test item was washed from the skin surface with DPBS.
- Time after start of exposure: 15 min

CELL VIABILITY MEASUREMENTS & IL-1alpha
Following the 42-Hour post-exposure incubation period each 12-well plate was placed onto a plate shaker for 15 minutes to homogenise the released mediators in the maintenance medium. 1.6 ml of the maintenance medium from beneath each tissue was transferred to tubes and stored in a freezer at approximately -20ºC for possible inflammatory mediator determination.
The tissues were transferred to 2 ml of a 0.3 mg/ml MTT solution, freshly prepared in assay medium and incubated for 3 hours at 37°C, 5% CO2 in air. At the end of the 3-Hour incubation period each tissue was placed onto absorbent paper to dry. A total biopsy of the epidermis was made using a biopsy punch. The epidermis was carefully separated from the collagen matrix using forceps and both parts (epidermis and collagen matrix) placed into labelled 1.5 ml micro tubes containing 500 μl of acidified isopropanol, ensuring that both the epidermis and collagen matrix were fully immersed. Each tube was mixed thoroughly on a vortex mixer then refrigerated at at approximately 4°C for 3 days allowing the extraction of formazan crystals out of the MTT-loaded tissues. At the end of the formazan extraction period each tube was centrifuged to eliminate debris and the optical density of duplicate 200 µL aliquots of the extracted solution was measured (quantitative viability analysis) at 595 nm.

In vivo

Irritant / corrosive response data:

The relative mean viability of the test item treated tissues was 89.6% after a 15-Minute exposure period and is therefore in range with the negative control and no irritating effect was observed. The positive control showed irritation. Additionally, the acceptance criteria are fulfilled.

Other effects:

The MTT solution containing the test item (in a pretest) did not turn blue which indicated that the test item did not directly reduce MTT.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The potential of the substance to be irritant to the skin has been investigated using a reconstructed human epidermis (RhE) model in accordance with OECD/EU test methods. The tested substance had essentially no effect on the test system (89.6% of mean cell viability when compared to negative controls), indicating that there is little potential for the substance to be a skin irritant.

Executive summary:
