Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In this study under the given conditions the test item showed high reactivity towards both peptides. The test item is considered as “sensitiser”.
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 dist. water, based on the results of the pre-experiments. Based on a molecular weight of 290 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 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 test item (excluding the co-elution control). Samples were not centrifuged prior to the HPLC analysis.

For the 100 mM 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 sample of the co-elution control of the positive control. No precipitation, turbidity or phase separation was observed for the samples of the test item. Samples were not centrifuged prior to the HPLC analysis.

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

No co-elution of test item with the peptide peaks was observed. Sensitising potential of the test item was predicted from the mean peptide depletion of both analysed peptides (cysteine and lysine) by comparing the peptide concentration of the test item treated samples to the corresponding reference control C (RC Cwater).

The 100 mM stock solution of the test item showed high reactivity towards the synthetic peptides. The mean depletion of both peptides was > 6.38% (53.23%). Based on the prediction model 1 the test item can be considered as sensitiser. A precipitation in the cysteine experiment was observed. Since it cannot be determined if the precipitate resulted from the test item or the peptide, the given peak areas and corresponding peptide values can only be considered as an estimation of the peptide depletion and the reactivity might be underestimated.

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 64.20%.

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 (7.72 (experiment 1); 4.70 (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 290 g/mol a stock solution of 200 mM was prepared.

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, a max luciferase activity (Imax) induction of 4.17 was determined at a test item concentration of 2000.00 µM. The corresponding cell viability was 32.2%. The lowest tested concentration with a significant luciferase induction >1.5 (1.52) was found to be 1000.00 µM. The corresponding cell viability was <70% (32.7%).Thecalculated EC1.5 was<1000 µM (906.94).

In the second experiment, a max luciferase activity (Imax) induction of 2.18 was determined at a test item concentration of 2000.00 µM. The corresponding cell viability was 31.2%. The lowest tested concentration with a significant luciferase induction >1.5 (1.74) was found to be 1000.00 µM. The corresponding cell viability was <70% (39.0%).The calculated EC1.5 was < 1000 µM (733.90).

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.

The luciferase activity induced by the positive control at a concentration of 64 µM should be between 2 and 8. In the first experiment one of the technical replicate exceeded the threshold with a fold induction of 12.54. On the one hand, the positive control clearly induces the luciferase induction in the KerationSens™ cell line, showing the capability of the test system to predict sensitisation. On the other hand, the results in this first experiment are clearly negative, indicating no oversensitivity of the test system. The single value of the positive control exceeding the upper threshold was therefore considered to be an outliner and not biological relevant. Furthermore all other controls confirmed the validity of the study.

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.

Acceptance criteria:

The test meets acceptance criteria if:
• the cell viability of the solvent controls is >90%,
• the cell viability of at least four tested doses of the test item in each run is >50%,
• the RFI values of the positive control (DNCB) is ≥150% for CD86 and ≥200% for CD54 at a cell viability of >50%,
• the RFI values of the solvent control is not ≥150% for CD86 and not ≥200% for CD54,
• the MFI ratio of CD86 and CD54 to isotype IgG1 control for the medium and DMSO control, is >105%.

The test mets the acceptance criteria.
Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In this study under the given conditions the test item did upregulate the expression of the cell surface markers in at least two independent experiment runs. Therefore, the test item is considered as 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.
