Respiratory sensitizers and irritants are considered as substances of higher risk. However, until now there is no validated animal
model/method, nor in vitro cell model for identifying the respiratory chemical sensitizers. The aim of this study is to develop an in
vitro cellular assay for identification of respiratory chemical sensitizers based on a novel in vitro human 3D airway epithelium
model (MucilAir™).
To evaluate the potential of MucilAir™ as a tool for identifying the respiratory chemical sensitizers, 9 chemical compounds
belonging to 3 classes (irritants, dermal sensitizers and respiratory sensitizers) were tested. The cytotoxic effects of these
chemicals were assessed by several endpoints: TEER measurement, Resazurin test, cilia beating monitoring, morphological
observation, etc... The cytokines, such as IL-8, IL-6, Rantes, Gro-α, etc… were used as biomarkers for discriminating these
molecules. Interestingly, the respiratory irritants and respiratory sensitizers greatly increased the amount of cytokines released
The advantages of MucilAir™
� It is composed of primary human respiratory cells.
� It mimics the morphology and functions of the native human airway
epithelium.
� It has a unique shelf-life of 12 months.
� Epithelia from different pathologies are available (asthma, COPD, CF,
allergic rhinitis).
� It is ready and easy to use.
molecules. Interestingly, the respiratory irritants and respiratory sensitizers greatly increased the amount of cytokines released
into the culture media, whereas the dermal sensitizers showed no obvious effect. The stimulating effects the respiratory
sensitizers and irritants are observable at concentrations several folds below the toxic doses. Moreover, some long term effects of
the respiratory sensitizers on cytokine release, 4 weeks after the exposure, have been observed.
Further studies on a large number of donors (36), using two reference compounds (TMI and DNCB), highlighted the importance
of the genetic predisposition of the donors: only the allergic subgroup reacted differentially to the respiratory chemical sensitizers
and the dermal sensitizers. Our results are in line with the epidemiological and genetic studies of the asthma diseases.

Protocol
1: It may be possible to discriminate the respiratory sensitizers from dermal sensitizers or respiratory
irritants using a right panel of biomarkers (cytokines) and recovery time, based on MucilAir™.
2: Dextran Carrier Method is an easy and powerful method for delivering non soluble or non water
compatible insoluble material on apical surface ALI cultures.
3: Standard Operating procedures are accessible.

The figures show some examples of the results obtained on RANTES secretion at non cytotoxicconcentrations. Interestingly, two days after removal of the compounds (e.g. at 72h-time point), RANTES washighly up-regulated when exposed to respiratory chemical sensitizers. This up-regulation was not observed forrespiratory irritants and for dermal sensitizers.

Genetic Predisposition
Statistically, after 24 hours exposure to TMA, the amount of IL-8 released at D1 wassignificantly increased for all pathologies. It is also the case for DNCB, except forallergic group, where DNCB seems to have no significant stimulatory effect on IL-8release. After 6 and 20 days recovery (week 1 and 3), Il-8 secretion returned to thenormal level for both sensitizers and for all pathologies.
