- RECONSTRUCTED HUMAN EPIDERMIS (RHE) TISSUE
- Model used: three-dimensional human epidermis model
- Tissue batch number(s): 16-EKIN-035
- Expiration date: 05 September 2016
TEMPERATURE USED FOR TEST SYSTEM
- Temperature of pre-incubation: 37°C
- Temperature used during treatment / exposure: 15 minutes at room temperature (26.3 - 27.5°C)
- Temperature of post-treatment incubation: 37°C
APPLICATION
- Test item:
As the test item was solid, first an appropriate amount of distilled water was applied to the epidermal surface in order to improve further contact between test item and epidermis and then the test item was applied evenly to the epidermal surface. If necessary, the test item was spread gently on the skin surface with a pipette tip (or other appropriate tool) without damaging the epidermis. The amount was sufficient to cover the epidermal surface and was calculated from the residual test item quantity after treatment.
- Negative and positive controls:
Negative control (PBS) or positive control (5% (w/v) SDS solution) were added to each skin unit by using a suitable pipette. Chemicals were spread gently with the pipette tip in order to cover evenly all the epidermal surface if necessary (without damaging the epidermis).
- Additional control for test item having colouring potential:
For potentially colouring test item, in addition to the normal procedure, two additional viable chemical-treated tissues were used for the non specific OD evaluation. These tissues followed the same treatment steps as the other tissues except for the MTT step: MTT incubation step was replaced by incubation with fresh Assay Medium. OD reading were made following the same conditions as the other tissues.
The plates with the treated epidermis units were incubated for the exposure time of 15 minutes (± 0.5 min).
REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL
After the 15 minutes incubation time, the EPISKINTM(SM) units were removed and rinsed thoroughly with PBS to remove any remaining material from the epidermal surface as much as possible. The rest of the PBS was removed from the epidermal surface with a pipette (without touching the epidermis).
After rinsing the units were placed into the plate wells with fresh pre-warmed Maintenance Medium (2 mL/well) below them and then incubated for 42 hours (± 1h) at 37°C in an incubator with 5% CO2.
MTT TEST
After the 42 hours incubation, all EPISKINTM(SM) units (except of two colour control units) were transferred into the MTT working solution filled wells (2 mL of 0.3 mg/mL MTT per well). Then, all transferred EPISKINTM(SM) units were incubated for 3 hours (± 5 min) at 37°C in an incubator with 5% CO2 protected from light.
FORMAZAN EXTRACTION
After the incubation with MTT, a formazan extraction was undertaken. A disk of epidermis was cut from each skin unit (this involved the maximum area of the disk) using a biopsy punch (supplied as part of the kit). The epidermis was separated with the aid of forceps and both parts (epidermis and collagen matrix) were placed into a tube containing 500 μL acidified isopropanol (one tube corresponded to one well of the assay plate).
The capped tubes were thoroughly mixed by using a vortex mixer to achieve a good contact of all of the material and the acidified isopropanol, and then incubated for about two hours at room temperature protected from light with gentle agitation (~150 rpm) for formazan extraction.
A blank sample containing 2 mL of acidified isopropanol was processed in parallel.
CELL VIABILITY MEASUREMENTS
Following the formazan extraction, 2×200 μL sample from each tube were placed into the wells of a 96-well plate (labelled appropriately). The OD (optical density or absorbance) of the samples was measured using a plate reader at 570 nm. The mean of 6 wells of acidified isopropanol solution (200 μL/well) was used as blank.
NUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: 3
PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA
In the present study, the irritancy potential of test substances is predicted by the mean tissue viability of tissues exposed to the test item. The test item considered to be irritant to skin (Category 2), if the mean relative viability after 15 minutes exposure and 42 hours post incubation is less or equal (≤) to 50% of the negative control.
Mean tissue viability % is ≤ 50%: Category 2 or Category 1
Mean tissue viability % is > 50%: Non-Irritant
VALIDITY OF THE TEST
The mean OD value of the three negative control tissues should be between 0.6 and 1.5, and the stand ard deviation value (SD) of the % viability values should be ≤ 18.
The acceptable mean percentage viability range for positive controls is 0-40% and the standard deviation value (SD) of the % viability values should be ≤ 18.
The SD calculated from individual % tissue viability values of the three test item treated replicates should be <18.
The mean OD value of the blank samples (acidified isopropanol) should be <0.1. - Control samples:

As no colour change (yellow colour) was observed after three hours of incubation of the test item in MTT working solution, the test materials did not interact with MTT and additional controls and data calculations were not necessary. The false estimation of viability can be excluded.
As the test item was coloured, two additional test item-treated tissues were used for the non-specific OD evaluation. The optical density (measured at 570 nm) of tissues were 0.015, Non-specific Colour % was calculated as 2.0%. This value was below 5%, therefore additional data calculation was not necessary.
VIABILITY RESULTS
The results of the optical density (OD) measured at 570 nm of each sample and the calculated relative viability % values are presented in Table 1 below (Any other information on results incl. tables). The OD values for the test item treated skin samples showed 82.9% relative viability.
VALIDITY OF THE TEST
After receipt, the two indicators of the delivered kit were checked. Based on the observed colours, the epidermis units were in proper conditions.
The mean OD value of the three negative control tissues was in the recommended range (0.756). Standard deviation of the viability results for negative control samples was 4.5.
The positive control treated tissues showed 4.0% viability demonstrating the proper performance of the assay. The standard deviation of the viability results for positive control samples was 1.0.
The standard deviation of viability values of the three test item-treated tissue samples in the MTT assay was 0.9.
The mean OD value of the blank samples (acidified isopropanol) was 0.046.
All these parameters met the acceptability criteria, therefore the study was considered to be valid.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Following exposure with Lutetium trinitrate, the mean cell viability was 82.9% compared to the negative control. This is above the threshold of 50%, therefore the test item was considered to be non-irritant to skin. The experiment met the validity criteria, therefore the study was considered to be valid.
In conclusion, in this in vitro EPISKIN model test with Lutetium trinitrate (Batch number: 1612299), the results indicate that the test item is non-irritant to skin. - Executive summary:
An in vitro skin irritation test of Lutetium trinitrate test item was performed in a reconstructed human epidermis model. EPISKINTM(SM) is designed to predict and classify the irritation potential of chemicals by measuring its cytotoxic effect as reflected in the MTT (3-(4,5 -Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. The irritation potential of the test item was evaluated according to the OECD No. 439 guideline.
Disks of EPISKINTM(SM) (three units) were treated with the test item and incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature. Exposure of the test item was terminated by rinsing with Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS). The epidermis units were then incubated at 37°C for 42 hours. The viability of each disk was assessed by incubating the tissues for 3 hours with MTT solution at 37 °C. The precipitated formazan crystals were then extracted using acidified isopropanol and quantified spectrophotometrically.
PBS and 5% (w/v) Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS) solution treated epidermis were used as negative and positive controls, respectively (three units / control). Two additional disks were used to provide an estimate of colour contribution (NSCliving) from the test item. For each treated tissue, the viability was expressed as a % relative compared to the negative control. If the mean relative viability after 15 minutes exposure and 42 hours post incubation is less or equal (≤) to 50% of the negative control, the test item is considered to be irritant to skin.
Following exposure with Lutetium trinitrate, the mean cell viability was 82.9% compared to the negative control. This is above the threshold of 50%, therefore the test item was considered as being non-irritant to skin. The experiment met the validity criteria, therefore the study was considered to be valid.
In conclusion, in this in vitro EPISKIN model test with Lutetium trinitrate (Batch number: 1612299), the results indicate that the test item is non-irritant to the skin.
