Cytotoxicity of Oxidation Hair Dyes on Rat's Keratinocytes / 环境与健康杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the mechanism of the skin lesion induced by oxidation hair dyes Methods The effects of subjects,such as oxidation hair dyes,hydrogen peroxide (H 2O 2) and p phenylenediamine (PPD) and their mixture which were main components of oxidation hair dyes,on the proliferation of rat's keratinocytes were detected by primary culture technique of rat's keratinocytes and MTT colorimetric assay Results All of the observed groups presented a certain inhibition on proliferation of the rat's keratinocytes,except the group exposed to PPD at the lowest dose for the shorter period The OD values decreased with the increase of exposure levels and periods Dose response relationship was observed between the exposure levels and inhibition rates of cell survival(the r values after 24 h exposue r H 2O 2 =0 981, r PPD =0 949, r PPD-H 2O 2 =0 963, r hair dyes =0 887) Conclusion The skin lesion induced by oxidation hair dyes might associated with its cytotoxicity
