Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, in recent years, a large number of evaluation results using 3T3NRU PT to evaluate the presence or absence of phototoxicity, etc. have gradually accumulated, and it has been found that false positive results are included, and this method is not always effective in actually predicting human safety. sufficiently satisfactory that it is desirable to develop new in vitro phototoxicity assays (see, for example, Experimental and Toxicologic Pathology vol.63, p209-214; 2011)

Embodiment 1

[0130] Example 1 (Induction of differentiation of human ES cells into human retinal pigment epithelial cells)

[0131] As human embryonic stem cells (ie, ES cells), a KhES-1 strain established by Kyoto University was used.

[0132] The above-mentioned KhES-1 strain was cultured in ES cell maintenance culture medium (containing DMEM / F12, KSR (Knockout serum replacement), non-essential amino acids, L -Glutamine, 2-mercaptoethanol, etc.) on mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) feeder cells treated with mitomycin C to maintain the undifferentiated state of the KhES-1 strain . After culturing, colonies of human embryonic stem cells (ie, ES cells) were obtained by recovering from the culture dish using a dissociation solution containing trypsin / collagenase IV.

[0133] Use a micropipette to suck up the obtained colony, crush it into a size of about tens of cells per cell mass, and add 1 μM to 10 μM SB431542, 1 μM Colonies of human embryonic stem cells (i.e., ES cells) with hundreds t...

Embodiment 2

[0137] Example 2 (cultivation of human retinal pigment epithelial cells)

[0138] The colony containing human retinal pigment epithelial cells with melanin induced by differentiation in Example 1 was aspirated with a micropipette, and then treated with 0.05% trypsin to disperse the cells.

[0139] Into a 60mm Petri dish coated with Matrigel in advance, add a medium made by adding 2-20ng / ml bFGF to the DMEM / F12 culture solution containing N2 supplement, and inoculate the obtained dispersed cells on this medium . The dispersed cells seeded in this way also contained unspecified cells other than human retinal pigment epithelial cells.

[0140] Incubate the cells at 37°C, 5% CO 2 After cultured and fused in an incubator, the cells were treated with 0.25% trypsin, and the cells were recovered from the culture dish. The recovered cells were seeded into 10 cm Petri dishes pre-coated with Matrigel, and then, at 37 °C, 5% CO 2 Cultured in an incubator until the cells were confluent...

Embodiment 3

[0142] Example 3 (The first step, the second step and the third step of the phototoxicity test method of the present invention under light-shielding conditions as a control for non-light irradiation)

[0143] The human retinal pigment epithelial cells prepared in Example 2 were treated with 0.25% trypsin, and the cells were recovered from the culture dish. Seed the recovered cells at 100,000 or 120,000 cells per well in a 96-well culture dish pre-coated with Matrigel, and then incubate at 37°C, 5% CO 2 Cultured in an incubator.

[0144] After culturing for 2 to 4 hours, use a pipette to remove the medium from the 96-well culture dish, and then add Earle’s Balanced Salt Buffer Solution (EBSS) to the above-mentioned 96-well culture dish at a rate of 150 μl per well. Wash the cells.

[0145] Next, a test substance solution or a solvent control solution previously adjusted to the following concentration using EBSS was added to the above-mentioned petri dish at a rate of 100 μl p...

Abstract

The present invention provides a phototoxicity test method using human retinal pigment epithelial cells.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a phototoxicity test method and the like using human retinal pigment epithelial cells. Background technique [0002] In order to evaluate the safety of chemical substances such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, cosmetics, and industrial products to humans, a large number of toxicity tests are usually performed using individual animals. Among these toxicity tests, acute toxicity tests such as irritation caused by chemical substances entering the body reacting with light are collectively referred to as phototoxicity tests. [0003] As the most widely used phototoxicity test method, for example, the Morikawa method of topical administration to animal skin is known. The phototoxicity test method is as follows: using a guinea pig or a white rabbit, apply a chemical substance as a test substance on the back skin of the animal, after that, irradiate the applied part with ultraviolet rays, and irradiate the irradiated part of th...
