- RECONSTRUCTED HUMAN EPIDERMIS (RHE) TISSUE
- 0.50 cm² reconstructed epidermis (Episkin SA, RHE/S/17 Batch No. 17-RHE-021) were received on 21 February 2017.
- On the same day, the insert (filter + epidermis) was gently removed from the agarose while avoiding leaving agarose on the polycarbonate filter. The inserts were placed in 6 wells culture plate which had been previously filled with 300 µL of growth medium (Episkin SA) during 2 hours and 26 minutes. Then just before treatment, the inserts were placed in 24 wells culture plate which had been previously filled with 300 µL of maintenance medium (Episkin SA).
TREATMENT
- The test item was applied, as supplied, at the dose of 16 µL, to the epidermal surface of 3 living skin models during 42 minutes at room temperature. To ensure a good contact with the epidermises, during all the treatment period, the test item was recovered with a nylon mesh provided by Episkin SA.
- In the same experimental conditions, a positive control (5% SDS) and a negative control (DPBS) were carried out. The 5% SDS solution was prepared by weighing 0.5 g of SDS in a 10 mL volumetric flask qsp 10 mL of distilled water. Then, the preparation was magnetically stirred, just before the treatment. To ensure a good contact with the epidermises, during all the treatment period, the test item was recovered with a nylon mesh provided by Episkin SA.
REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL AND CONTROLS
- 42 minutes after the test item application, the nylon mesh was removed and the human epidermises were washed with 25 x 1 mL of DPBS. The rinsed tissues were checked for any coloration and noted to be whitish, comparable coloration to that of the negative control tissues. They were incubated for a 41-hour and 05-minute post-treatment incubation-period in fresh medium at 37°C, 5% CO2. Then, the epidermis were put in contact with the MTT solution.
MTT DYE USED TO MEASURE TISSUE VIABILITY AFTER TREATMENT / EXPOSURE
- The cell viability was quantified by the measurement of the cell succinate dehydrogenase activity. This enzyme was responsible for the MTT [3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, Thiazolyl blue; CAS No. 298-93-1)] reduction into blue formazan crystal that is quantitatively measured by Optical Density (OD) after extraction from tissues. The measured OD were proportional to the number of living cells.
- The skin samples were placed in 300 µL of a MTT solution at 1.0 mg/mL for 3 hours at 37°C, 5% CO2. The precipitated blue formazan product was then extracted using isopropanol during 2 hours under gentle agitation in the dark, and the concentration of formazan was measured by determining the OD (Optical Density) at 570 nm, just after dilution of the extracts (1:2 in isopropanol).
- The OD of MTT extract was measured in triplicate. The measurement of OD was performed using the ELx800 absorbance microplate reader (controlled every year and calibrated if necessary) supplied by BioTek and the validated software Gen5 ELISA V1.05.11 supplied by BioTek.
VIABILITY CALCULATION:
- Data from individual replicate tissues (OD values and calculated percent tissue viability data for the test item and controls), mean percent tissue viability and standard deviation for each individual test item and control were reported in Table 7.3.1/1. The results were expressed as a viability percentage compared with the negative control: viability % = (mean OD test item / mean OD negative control) * 100
PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA
The OD values obtained for each test sample were used to calculate a percentage of viability relative to the negative control, which was arbitrarily set at 100%. The cut-off values for the prediction of irritation associated with the RHE models were as follows:
- The test item is considered to be non-irritant to skin if the tissue viability after 42 minutes of exposure and 42 hours of post-treatment incubation is >50%.
- The test item is considered to be irritant to skin if the tissue viability after 42 minutes of exposure and 42 hours of post-treatment incubation is ≤ 50% and the result of a skin corrosion test is "non-corrosive". In accordance with Regulation EC No. 1272/2008, the test item has to be classified in Category 2 “Irritant”. The corresponding hazard statement is “H315: Causes skin irritation” with the signal word “Warning”.
- The test item is considered to be irritant or corrosive to skin if the mean percent tissue viability after 42 minutes exposure and 42 hours of post-treatment incubation is ≤50% and in absence of information on a skin corrosion test. In accordance with the Regulation (CE) No.1272/2008 and in absence of information on a skin corrosion test, the item has to be classified in Category 2 "Irritant" or in Category 1 "Corrosive". The corresponding hazard statement is respectively, "H315: Causes skin irritation" with the signal word "Warning" or "H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage" with the signal word "Danger". - Control samples:

- PRELIMINARY TESTS
- Test for direct interaction with MTT:
A yellow solution was observed after 3 hours of incubation between 36.4°C and 37.8°C, 5% CO2. Therefore, there was no direct interaction between the test item and MTT.
- Test for the detection of the colouring potential of the test item:
A colorless solution was obtained in isopropanol after 2 hours of incubation at ambient temperature with gentle shaking. The mean of the corrected OD (blank subtracted) was 0.001 which was less than 0.08 (value corresponding to approximately twice the OD of the extracting solvent). Therefore the test item was considered to be not interfering with the MTT assay.
MTT VIABILITY ASSAY RESULTS
- The mean percent viability of the treated tissues was 4.7%, versus 1.3% in the positive control (5% Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate).
- The mean percent tissue viabilities obtained with the negative controls and positive controls were within the range of historical data and therefore validated the experiment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Category 2 (irritant) or Category 1 (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- In accordance with Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 and in absence of information on skin corrosion, the test item has to be classified in Category 2 "Irritating to skin" or in Category 1 "Corrosive". The hazard statement "H315: Causes skin irritation" with the signal word "Warning" or "H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage" with the signal word "Danger" are required.
- Executive summary:
An in vitro skin irritation test using the Reconstructed human Epidermis (SkinEthic RHE® model) was performed according to the OECD Guideline 439 and in compliance with GLP to predict the acute skin irritation potential of the test substance.
The test substance was applied as supplied, at the dose of 16 µL, to 3 living Reconstructed Human epidermis (SkinEthic RHE® model) during 42 minutes, followed by a rinse with 25 mL of DPBS and a 41-hour and 05-minute post-incubation period at 37°C, 5% CO2. Cell viability was then measured by enzymatic conversion of the vital dye MTT into a blue formazan salt that was quantitatively measured after extraction from tissues.
In the preliminary tests, the test substance was found not to have direct MTT reducing properties or colouring potential. In the main test, the mean percent viability of the treated tissues was 4.7%, versus 1.3% in the positive control (5% Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate). The mean percent tissue viabilities obtained with the positive control and negative controls were within the range of historical data and therefore validated the experiment.
In accordance with Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 and in absence of information on skin corrosion, the test item has to be classified in Category 2 "Irritating to skin" or in Category 1 "Corrosive". The hazard statement "H315: Causes skin irritation" with the signal word "Warning" or "H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage" with the signal word "Danger" are required.
