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. 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.
