    The Reconstructed Human Epidermis (RHE) model derived from epidermal keratinocytes offers an ethical and scientific alternative to animal experimentation, particularly in cutaneous toxicology and dermatological research, where the elimination of animal cruelty is of paramount importance. Thus, we compared commercially available chemically defined animal origin-free (cdAOF) supplements, designed for regenerative medicine, to the widely utilized supplement (human keratinocyte growth supplement), which contains growth factors and bovine pituitary extract. Herein we present the extended characterization of RHE derived from newborn, adult, and immortalized N/telomerase reverse transcriptase keratinocytes under cdAOF conditions. Culture of RHE in the cdAOF media produced histological features that were similar to that produced using human keratinocyte growth supplement, with the exception that the basal keratinocytes were less cylindrical. Additionally, immunolocalization of involucrin in the basal layer and increased mRNA expression of several inflammatory-proliferative markers were observed under cdAOF conditions. In RHEs cultured in cdAOF media, expression and immunolocalization of other expected markers of keratinization were similar, while monitoring of barrier function (transepithelial electrical resistance) revealed results that were statistically equal to, or lower than those observed in RHE cultured in human keratinocyte growth supplement. Our study indicates that reconstruction of RHE was accomplished under cdAOF culture conditions and that further refinement could promote an expanded use beyond regenerative medicine, for in vitro toxicology applications.
