Qualifier:

Guideline:
OECD Guideline 442D (In Vitro Skin Sensitisation: ARE-Nrf2 Luciferase Test Method)
Qualifier:

Guideline:

GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Remarks:
Bayerisches Landesamt für Gesundheit und Lebensmittelsicherheit, München, Germany
Type of study:
activation of keratinocytes
Justification for non-LLNA method:
The KeratinoSens™ assay is supposed to address the second key event of the skin sensitisation process as defined by the adverse outcome pathway (AOP), the induction of cyto-protective signalling pathways in keratinocytes in response to electrophiles and oxidative stress. The KeratinoSens™ assay addresses the effect on the antioxidant response element (ARE)-dependent pathway in the KeratinoSens™ cell line by measuring the induction of an ARE dependent gene product, the luciferase gene. The luciferase gene induction following exposure to test chemicals is measured in cell lysates by luminescence detection, allowing the discrimination between sensitisers and non-sensitisers.
Since activation of the Keap1-Nrf2-ARE pathway addresses only the second key event of the skin sensitisation AOP, information from test methods based on the activation of this pathway is unlikely to be sufficient when used on its own to conclude on the skin sensitisation potential of chemicals. Therefore data generated according to OECD 442D should be considered in the context of integrated approaches, such as IATA, combining them with other complementary information e.g. derived from in vitro assays addressing other key events of the skin sensitisation AOP.

In vitro test system

Details on the study design:
The in vitro KeratinoSens™ assay enables detection of the sensitising potential of a test item by 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.

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The luciferase activity induced by the positive control at a concentration of 64 µM was between 2 and 8 (2,78 (experiment 1); 3,28 (experiment 2)).

Any other information on results incl. tables

In the first experiment, no significant luciferase induction > 1.5 was found in the tested concentration range. Therefore, no EC1.5 value could be calculated. From the concentration 125 μM onwards the test item was cytotoxic.

In the second experiment, no significant luciferase induction > 1.5 was found in the tested concentration range. Therefore, no EC1.5 value could be calculated. From the concentration 125 μM onwards the test item was cytotoxic.

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.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Negative in the KeratinoSens Assay
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 item was dissolved in DMSO. Based on a molecular weight of 186.17 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, no significant luciferase induction > 1.5 was found in the tested concentration range. Therefore, no EC1.5 value could be calculated. From the concentration 125 µM onwards the test item was cytotoxic.

In the second experiment, no significant luciferase induction > 1.5 was found in the tested concentration range. Therefore, no EC1.5 value could be calculated. From the concentration 125 µM onwards the test item was cytotoxic.

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.
