Test system

Details on study design:
Principle:
The test consists of a topical exposure of the neat test chemical to a reconstructed human epidermis (RhE) model followed by a cell viability test. Cell viability is measured by dehydrogenase conversion of MTT [(3-4,5-dimethyl thiazole 2-yl) 2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromide], present in cell mitochondria, into a blue formazal salt that is quantitatively measured after extraction from tissues. The reduction of the viability of tissues exposed to
chemicals in comparison to negative controls (treated with PBS) is used to predict the skin irritation potential. Evaluation is determined by measuring of optical density (OD) of the formazan, extracts using a spectrophotometer at 570 nm. Relative cell viability is calculated for each tissue as % of the mean OD value of the negative control tissues. Skin irritation potential of the test material is predicted if the remaining relative cell viability is below 50 %.

MTT test

The test substance (25 mg) was placed directly atop to the tissue previously moistened with 25 pl of PBS. The material was then spread on the tissue surface. Tissues were exposed to the test chemical for 1 hour. After exposition, tissues were thoroughly rinsed and blotted to remove the test substance. Then, tissues were let to post-incubate for 24 (medium exchange) + 18 hours (37+1oC,1LIYI CO2, moistened).

After exposition, tissues were slightly coloured yellow; the yeliow colour was not observed after post-incubation.

Afterwards, the MTT assay was performed by transferring the tissues to 24-well plates containing MTT medium (1 mg/ml). After 3 hour MTT incubation, the blue formazan salt formed by cellular mitochondria was extracted with 2.0 ml/tissue of isopropanol and the optical density of the extracted formazan was determined using a spectrophotometer at 570 nm. ODszo measuring was performed after 2-hour extraction with shaking. Results are given in the Table.
