Test animals / tissue source
- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- The EpiOcular™ model (OCL-200) is a three-dimensional non-keratinized tissue construct composed of normal human-derived epidermal keratinocytes used to model the human corneal epithelium. The EpiOcular™ tissues (surface 0.6 cm2) are cultured on cell culture inserts (MILLICELLs®, 10 mm 0) and are commercially available as kits (EpiOcular™ 200) containing 24 tissues on shipping agarose.
Tissue model: OCL-200
Supplier: MatTek In Vitro Life Science Laboratories, Bratislava, Slovakia
Test system
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Details on study design:
- In order to determine whether the test substance is able to reduce MTT directly, the test substance will be incubated with the substrate in a pretest (experimental conduct in accordance with GLP, but without a GLP status). 50 μL (liquid test substances) or ca. 50 μL bulk volume (solid test substances) are added to 0.9 ml MTT solution. The mixture is incubated in the dark at about 37°C for 3 hours. A negative control (50 μL deionized water) is tested concurrently. When the color of the mixture turns blue/purple, it is assumed that the test substance can reduce MTT directly. This might lead to a false optical signal if after incubation, sufficient amounts of the test substance remain in or on the skin. In case of water-insoluble substances, the coloration will be assessed at the border to the aqueous phase. In case that direct MTT reduction occurs, two freeze-killed control tissues (KC) are treated with each the test article and the negative control in the same way.
Several test substances will be tested in parallel within the present test (test no. 91) using the same control tissues (NC and PC). Two tissues are treated with each test substance, the PC and the NC, respectively. Two additional tissues (KCs) will be used for the test substance and the NC, respectively, if a positive reaction has been observed in the MTT reduction test. There are two separate protocols for liquids and solids differing in exposure time and postincubation period. Due to the physical condition of the test substance, the protocol for solids is applied.
The tissues will be transferred to sterile 6-well plates with 1 ml pre-warmed assay medium and preconditioned in the incubator at 37°C for 1 hour. After 1 hour, the pre-incubation medium is replaced with fresh medium, and preconditioning continues for
16 - 24 hours.
After pre-incubation, the tissues are pretreated with 20 μL PBS to wet the tissue surface. The tissues are incubated at standard culture conditions for 30 minutes.
Due to the physical state of the test substance, application with a pipette or sharp spoon is not possible. Thus, a metal pin is covered with 50 μL undiluted liquid (at ca. 50°C heated) test substance. The pin is applied with direct contact to the tissue, covering the whole tissue surface. Before application, the test substance is cooled down to room temperature. Control tissues are applied concurrently with 50 μL sterile deionized water (NC, NC KC (if applicable)) or with 50 μL methyl acetate (PC) ortest substance (KC, if applicable). After application, the tissues will be placed into the incubator until the total exposure time of 6 hours is completed.
In order to remove the test substance, the tissues are washed with sterile PBS. For this purpose, the tissues are immersed and swiveled thrice in each of three beakers filled with PBS. Washed tissues are immersed immediately into 12-well plates pre-filled with 5 ml/well pre-warmed medium (post-soak immersion) to remove residual test substance. After 25 minutes of post-soak immersion, each tissue is dried on absorbent paper and transferred to fresh 6-well plates filled with 1 ml/well pre-warmed medium.
After the incubation / post-incubation period, the assay medium is replaced with 0.3 ml MTT solution and the tissues are incubated in the incubator for 3 hours. After incubation, the tissues are washed with PBS to stop the MTT incubation.
The formazan that is produced metabolically by the tissues will be extracted by incubation of the tissues in 2 ml isopropanol at room temperature overnight or for at least 2 hours on a plate shaker (ca. 120 rpm). After shaking the isopropanol extract, 2 aliquots of each extract per tissue will be transferred to a 96-well microtiter plate. The optical density (OD570) will be determined spectrophotometrically using a filter with a wavelength of 570 nm.
