MTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE
- MTT concentration: 300 μL of a MTT solution at 1.0 mg/mL
- Incubation time: 3 hours
- Spectrophotometer: ELx800 absorbance microplate reader
- Wavelength: 570 nm



CONTROL TISSUES USED IN CASE OF MTT DIRECT INTERFERENCE
- Fresh tissues / killed tissues: 2 living and 2 killed Human skin model surfaces
- Procedure used to prepare the killed tissues (if applicable): The 2 additional killed Human skin model surfaces (Episkin SA, RHE/S/17 Batch No. 17-RHE-059) frozen on 23 May 2017 were defrozen the day of the treatment. The same day, the insert (filter + epidermis) was gently removed from the agarose while avoiding leaving agarose on the polycarbonate filter. The inserts were placed in 6 wells culture plate which had been previously filled with 1 mL of growth medium (Episkin SA, batch No. 17 MPE 047) during 2 hours and 05 minutes.
Then just before treatment, the inserts were placed in 24 wells culture plate which had been previously filled with 300 μL of maintenance medium (Episkin SA, batch No. 17 MA 042).
- N. of replicates : 2
- Method of calculation used: As the test item is identified as producing both direct MTT reduction and colour interference:
True viability % =
[(OD of living tissues exposed to test item - OD of killed tissues exposed to test item - OD of living tissues exposed to test item incubated with medium without MTT + OD of killed tissues exposed to test item incubated with medium without MTT) / OD of living tissues exposed to negative control] x 100

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: yes
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: yes
- Acceptance criteria met for variability between replicate measurements: yes

The OD values obtained for each test sample were used to calculate a percentage of viability relative to the negative control, which was arbitrarily set at 100%. The cut-off values for the prediction of irritation associated with the RHE models were as follows:

The test item is considered to be non irritant to skin:
- if the viability after 42 minutes of exposure and 42 hours of post-treatment incubation is > 50%.
The test item is considered to be irritant to skin:
- if the tissue viability after 42 minutes of exposure and 42 hours of post-treatment incubation is ≤ 50%
.
In accordance with the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008, the item is to be classified in Category 2 “Irritant”.
The corresponding hazard statement is “H315: Causes skin irritation” with the signal word “Warning”.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

In accordance with the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008, the test item has to be considered as Non-irritant to skin. It corresponds to UN GHS No Category.
No hazard statement or signal word is required.

Executive summary:

The aim was to evaluate the possible irritating effects of the test item after topical application on in vitro human reconstructed epidermis (SkinEthic RHE® model).

The test item was applied at the dose of 16 mg, to 3 living Reconstructed Human epidermis (SkinEthic RHE® model) during 42 minutes. The application was followed by a rinse with 25 mL of DPBS and a 42 hours and 05 minutes post-incubation period at 37°C, 5% CO2.

Cell viability was then measured by enzymatic conversion of the vital dye MTT into a blue formazan salt that was quantitatively measured after extraction from tissues. Additionally, 2 killed Human skin model surfaces were treated (SkinEthic RHE® model) in the same manner in order to generate nonspecific MTT reduction. Moreover, 2 living and 2 killed Human skin model surfaces were treated in the same manner but they were incubated in the culture medium instead of MTT solution in order to generate non-specific living and killed colour controls. The experimental protocol was established in accordance with O.E.C.D. Test Guideline No. 439 adopted 28 July 2015 and the Test method B.46 of

Council regulation No. 761/2009 dated 23 July 2009 (EU Journal L220) - ATP Council regulation No. 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 (E.U. Journal L142).

The mean corrected percent viability of the treated tissues was 90.5%, versus 1.5% in the positive control (5% Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate).

In accordance with the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008, the test item has to be considered as Non-irritant to skin. It corresponds to UN GHS No Category. No hazard statement or signal word is required.
