Mechanism of Skin Sensitization Subsequent skin contact with chemical activates the T cells and leads to clinical manifestation LLNA Chemical (hapten) penetrates skin and reacts with protein(s) INDUCTION ELICITATION Inflammation EPIDERMIS DERMIS Chemical is recognized by Langerhans cells which then migrate from the skin to the draining lymph node Increased number of chemical-specific T-cells released into the systemic circulation This causes proliferation of specific T cells Lymph node Mature LC presents chemical to T cells D.

Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA) Days 1, 2, 3 apply chemical to ear • Identifies skin sensitizing chemicals as a function of their ability to provoke T lymphocytes proliferative response in draining lymph nodes • LLNA reduced and refined animal use • Practical considerations: less time (7 days), cheaper, quantitative endpoint, potency information • LLNA has been validated as a replacement of the older guinea pig tests Days 6 – inject 3H thymidine 5 h- Remove lymph nodes, quantify incorporated 3H
HRIPT (Human Repeat Insult Patch Testing) • Used for decades for diagnosis of skin allergy • A small patch of test article is applied/reapplied • After rest period, the test material is applied again • Contact allergy: redness, swelling, itchiness • Ethical concerns for testing in volunteers: may elicit clinical disease in the volunteers

Key Event 1- Haptenation:Direct Peptide Reactivity Assay (DPRA) • Addresses haptenation (MIE) Key Event 1 • Developed by Gerberick and colleagues at P&G • A skin sensitizer forms covalent bonds with peptides • Test Article – Peptide mixture incubation of 24 hours • Cysteine & lysine peptide depletion monitored by HPLC Nucleophilic-electrophilic interaction: Chemical Allergen :Nu Chemical allergen E Protein Cysteine, Lysine Protein
DPRA HPLC Un-reacted Peptide Chemical Allergen Protein Chemical Allergen Test Chemical Peak Area of un-reacted peptide is compared to peak area of reacted peptide Reaction Mixture Protein
DPRA Example Data Set Cinnamic Aldehyde Glycerol %Depletion = 0% %Depletion = 77.5%
Key Event 2- Activation of ARE Pathway: KeratinoSens Assay • Addresses keratinocyte responses by activation of antioxidant/electrophile response element dependent pathway (Keap1-Nrf2-ARE) Key event 2 • sensitizers are electrophilic, or potential to be transformed to electrophilic chemicals • The Nrf-2-electrophile sensing pathway comprising the repressor protein Keap1, the transcription factor Nrf2 and the antioxidant response element (ARE) detects skin sensitizers H S H S Nrf2 Luciferase Keap I ARE-element Nrf2
KeratinoSens Data Analysis • Gene induction compared to DMSO control wells • EC1.5 = concentration for induction above 1.5 threshold • Positive Response: • EC1.5 value below 1000 µM in at least 2 of 3 repetitions • At the lowest concentration with induction >1.5, viability >70% • Apparent overall dose response, similar between repetitions Non-Sensitizer Sensitizer
T T T T Key Event 3- Expression of Adhesion/ Co-Stimulatory Molecules Induction phase • Langerhans cells (LC) play a critical role in skin sensitization • Upon antigen capture, LC undergo maturation and migrate to the draining lymph nodes • LC maturation is characterized by the up-regulation of CD86 and CD54 (Aiba and Katz, 1990; Ozawa et al., 1996) allergens LC activation T-cell proliferation Lymph node Image from Jowsey et al.
Human Cell Line Activation Test (h-CLAT) • Addresses Dendritic Cell (DC) responses by measuring expression of co-stimulatory and adhesion molecules using THP-1 cells: Key event 3 • RFI CD86 ≥150% and CD54 ≥200%with cell viability of ≥50% in at least 2 independent repetitions relative to vehicle controls
Integrated Testing Strategies (ITS) OECD Test Guidelines for 3 methods (others under review) • Direct Peptide Reactivity Assay (DPRA) (TG 442C) (2015) • ARE-Nrf2 Luciferase Method (KeratinoSensTM) (TG 442D) (2015) • Human Cell Line Activation Test (h-CLAT) (TG 442E) (2016) • OECD- support discrimination between skin sensitizers (UN GHS category 1) and non-sensitizers in combination with other info • Each assay considered for an Integrated Testing Strategy (ITS) for hazard identification; development of Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP) • Individual assay limitations, integrated approach better • For safety determination, all 3 assays should be used • Test Guidelines cannot be used on their own to sub-categorize skin sensitizers into UN GHS subcategories 1A and 1B or to predict potency for safety assessment identification

Botanical Cosmetic Ingredients Could the KeratinoSens assay detect sensitizing chemicals in a botanical ingredient mixture? • Safety assessment challenging (molar conc. of some components may be unknown) • Cosmetic ingredients containing botanical extracts are formulated with solvents, preservatives, and generally less than 10% extract • We measured the activity of 3 known sensitizers neat and then “spiked” at 1%- 2% into 4 different botanical ingredients (each with a different excipient solvent system) 1. Gluteraldehyde(GA)- strong sensitizer 2. Dimethyl maleate (DM)- moderate sensitizer 3. Cinnamic aldehyde (CA) – moderate sensitizer • Activity of the spiked samples was measured and compared to the neat sensitizer and the unspiked botanical ingredient Study performed in collaboration with
Sample Data & Conclusions • The sensitizer spike could be detected within the botanical ingredient (EC1.5 value) • Initial data suggests that the KS assay may be useful tool for the pre-clinical safety assessment of sensitization potential of botanical ingredients Botanical ingredient #2 w/o spike *No botanical ingredients showed sensitization potential w/o spike Botanical Matrix 2 –Gluteraldehyde 2% (MTT) Conclusions
Using In Vitro Assays, the Direct Peptide Reactivity Assay (DPRA), KeratinoSens™ Assay (KS), and Human Cell Line Activation Test (h-CLAT) to Assess Skin Sensitization Potential of Electronic Cigarette Liquids Presented at 2017 SOT Annual Meeting (Baltimore, MD) Two eCigarette liquids (non-sensitizers), spiked with cynnamic aldehyde (CA) (known sensitizer) to assess if the assays could detect sensitization potential in mixtures KeratinoSens and DPRA detection of sensitizer (at highest concentration of CA) More work need to be done with h-CLAT assay
Considerations for Full Replacement using Available In Vitro, In Chemico, In Silico Methods • These assays do not currently address skin penetration & skin metabolism • Solubility is a concern • Assessment of Potency • Availability/Cost of methods • Best ITS is one that meets client goals • Screening (before clinical), submission?, timing, chemistry, etc. • Special Considerations • Mixtures (e.g. Botanicals) • Photo-activation • Assay Optimizations to address pro- haptens
