Exposure to solar ultraviolet light is the major cause of most skin cancers. While the genotoxic properties of UVB radiation are now well understood, the DNA damaging processes triggered by less energetic but more abundant UVA photons remain to be elucidated. Evidence has been provided for the induction of oxidative lesions to cellular DNA including strand breaks and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo). Formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) has also been reported, mostly in rodent cells. In order to gain insights into the relevance of the latter photoproducts in UVA-mutagenesis of human skin, we quantified the level of 8-oxodGuo and CPDs within primary cultures of normal fibroblasts and keratinocytes using specific chromatographic assays. The yield of formation of CPDs was found to be higher than that of 8-oxodGuo in both cell types. In addition, CPDs were mostly TT derivatives, and neither (6-4) photoproducts nor Dewar valence isomers were detected. These observations are reminiscent of results obtained in rodent cells and suggest that a photosensitized triplet energy transfer occurs and that this reaction is more efficient than photooxidation of DNA components. The predominant formation of CPDs with respect to oxidative damage within normal human skin cells exposed to UVA radiation should be taken into account in photoprotection strategies. 相似文献

Ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation received from the sun and from the widespread use of tanning beds by populations residing in areas of northern latitude represents a potential risk factor for human health. The genotoxic and cancer-causing effects of UVA have remained controversial. A mutagenic role for UVA based on DNA damage formation by reactive oxygen species as well as by generation of photoproducts such as cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) has been suggested. Here, we investigated the mutagenicity of UVA in relation to its DNA damaging effects in transgenic Big Blue mouse embryonic fibroblasts. We determined the formation of a typical oxidative DNA lesion, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG), and of CPDs, as well as quantified the induction of mutations in the cII transgene in cells irradiated with a 2000 W UVA lamp. UVA irradiation at a dose of 18 J/cm(2) produced significant levels of 8-oxo-dG in DNA (P < 0.03) but did not yield detectable CPDs. UVA irradiation also increased the cII mutant frequency almost 5-fold over background (P < 0.01) while showing moderate cytotoxicity (70% cell viability). UVA-induced mutations were characterized by statistically significant increases in G-to-T transversions and small tandem base deletions (P = 0.0075, P = 0.008, respectively) relative to spontaneously derived mutations. This mutational spectrum differs from those previously reported for UVA in other test systems; however, it corresponds well with the known spectrum of mutations established for oxidative base lesions such as 8-oxo-dG. We conclude that UVA has the potential to trigger carcinogenesis owing to its mutagenic effects mediated through oxidative DNA damage. 相似文献

Exposure of cultured human melanocytes to ultraviolet radiation (UV) results in DNA damage. In melanoma, UV‐signature mutations resulting from unrepaired photoproducts are rare, suggesting the possible involvement of oxidative DNA damage in melanocyte malignant transformation. Here we present data demonstrating immediate dose‐dependent generation of hydrogen peroxide in UV‐irradiated melanocytes, which correlated directly with a decrease in catalase activity. Pretreatment of melanocytes with α‐melanocortin (α‐MSH) reduced the UV‐induced generation of 7,8‐dihydro‐8‐oxyguanine (8‐oxodG), a major form of oxidative DNA damage. Pretreatment with α‐MSH also increased the protein levels of catalase and ferritin. The effect of α‐MSH on 8‐oxodG induction was mediated by activation of the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R), as it was absent in melanocytes expressing loss‐of‐function MC1R, and blocked by concomitant treatment with an analog of agouti signaling protein (ASIP), ASIP‐YY. This study provides unequivocal evidence for induction of oxidative DNA damage by UV in human melanocytes and reduction of this damage by α‐MSH. Our data unravel some mechanisms by which α‐MSH protects melanocytes from oxidative DNA damage, which partially explain the strong association of loss‐of‐function MC1R with melanoma. 相似文献

We previously reported that benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and UVA radiation synergistically induced oxidative DNA damage via 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) formation in vitro. The present study shows that microsomal BaP metabolites and UVA radiation potently enhance 8-OHdG formation in calf thymus DNA about 3-fold over the parent compound BaP. Utilization of various reactive oxygen species scavengers revealed that singlet oxygen and superoxide radical anion were involved in the 8-OHdG formation induced by microsomal BaP metabolites and UVA. Two specific BaP metabolites, benzo[a]pyrene-r-7,t-8-dihydrodiol-t-9,10-epoxide (+/-) (anti) (BPDE) and BaP-7,8-dione, were further tested for synergism with UVA. BaP-7,8-dione showed an effect on 8-OHdG formation induced by UVA radiation that was similar to that of the parent BaP, whereas BPDE exhibited significantly higher induction of 8-OHdG than BaP. At as low as 0.5 microM, BPDE plus UVA radiation substantially increased 8-OHdG levels about 25-fold over the parent BaP. BPDE increased the formation of 8-OHdG levels in both BPDE concentration- and UVA dose-dependent manners. Additionally, singlet oxygen was found to play a major role in 8-OHdG induction by BPDE and UVA. These results suggest that BaP metabolites such as BPDE synergize with UVA radiation to produce ROS, which in turn induce DNA damage. 相似文献

Induction of DNA damage by solar UV radiation is a key event in the development of skin cancers. Bipyrimidine photoproducts, including cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs), (6-4) photoproducts (64 PPs) and their Dewar valence isomers, have been identified as major UV-induced DNA lesions. In order to identify the predominant and most persistent lesions, we studied the repair of the three types of photolesions in primary cultures of human keratinocytes. Specific and quantitative data were obtained using HPLC associated with tandem mass spectrometry. As shown in other cell types, 64 PPs are removed from UVB-irradiated keratinocytes much more efficiently than CPDs. In contrast, CPDs are still present in high amounts when cells recover their proliferation capacities after cell cycle arrest and elimination of a part of the population by apoptosis. The predominance of CPDs is still maintained when keratinocytes are exposed to a combination of UVB and UVA. Under these conditions, 64 PPs are converted into their Dewar valence isomers that are as efficiently repaired as their (6-4) precursors. Exposure of cells to pure UVA radiation generates thymine cyclobutane dimers that are slightly less efficiently repaired than CPDs produced upon UVB irradiation. Altogether, our results show that CPDs are the most frequent and the less efficiently repaired bipyrimidine photoproducts irrespectively of the applied UV treatment. 相似文献

UVA (320–400 nm) represents the main spectral component of solar UV radiation, induces pre-mutagenic DNA lesions and is classified as Class I carcinogen. Recently, discussion arose whether UVA induces DNA double-strand breaks (dsbs). Only few reports link the induction of dsbs to UVA exposure and the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Using the Comet-assay and γH2AX as markers for dsb formation, we demonstrate the dose-dependent dsb induction by UVA in G1-synchronized human keratinocytes (HaCaT) and primary human skin fibroblasts. The number of γH2AX foci increases when a UVA dose is applied in fractions (split dose), with a 2-h recovery period between fractions. The presence of the anti-oxidant Naringin reduces dsb formation significantly. Using an FPG-modified Comet-assay as well as warm and cold repair incubation, we show that dsbs arise partially during repair of bi-stranded, oxidative, clustered DNA lesions. We also demonstrate that on stretched chromatin fibres, 8-oxo-G and abasic sites occur in clusters. This suggests a replication-independent formation of UVA-induced dsbs through clustered single-strand breaks via locally generated reactive oxygen species. Since UVA is the main component of solar UV exposure and is used for artificial UV exposure, our results shine new light on the aetiology of skin cancer. 相似文献

A wide variety of oxidative DNA lesions are commonly present in untreated human and animal DNA. One of these lesions, 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine, has been shown to lead to base mispairing (mutation) on DNA replication. Other lesions remain to be investigated in this respect. Oxidative DNA lesions on cell replication may, in appropriate circumstances, lead to proto-oncogene activation. Oxidative DNA damage, on fixation, may also lead to cytotoxicity followed by regenerative proliferation. The probable or possible importance of oxidative DNA damage is reviewed for various classes of carcinogens and natural processes, including metal ions, high-energy radiation, miscellaneous chemicals, tumor-promoting agents, polyhydroxyphenols/quinones, lipid metabolism, peroxisome proliferators and thyroid function. It is concluded that although the evidence needs considerable strengthening in many of these examples, the available information indicates the potential importance of oxidative DNA damage in the induction of tumors by these agents. It is also possible that non-cancerous degenerative diseases associated with aging are the result of the accumulation of lesions resulting from unrepaired oxidative DNA damage. 相似文献

Sunlight ultraviolet A (UVA) irradiation has been implicated in the etiology of human skin cancer. A genotoxic mode of action for UVA radiation has been suggested that involves photosensitization reactions giving rise to promutagenic DNA lesions. We investigated the mutagenicity of UVA in the lacI transgene in Big Blue mouse embryonic fibroblasts. UVA irradiation of these cells at a physiologically relevant dose of 18J/cm(2) caused a 2.8-fold increase in the lacI mutant frequency relative to control, i.e., 12.12+/-1.84 versus 4.39+/-1.99 x 10(-5) (mean+/-S.D.). DNA sequencing analysis showed that of 100 UVA-induced mutant plaques and 54 spontaneously arisen control plaques, 97 and 51, respectively, contained a minimum of one mutation along the lacI transgene. The vast majority of both induced- and spontaneous mutations were single base substitutions, although less frequently, there were also single and multiple base deletions and insertions, and tandem base substitutions. Detailed mutation spectrometry analysis revealed that G:C-->T:A transversions, the signature mutations of oxidative DNA damage, were significantly induced by UVA irradiation (P<0.003). The absolute frequency of this type of mutations was 7.4-fold increased consequent to UVA irradiation as compared to control (3.38 versus 0.454 x 10(-5); P<0.00001). These findings are in complete agreement with those previously observed in the cII transgene of the same model system, and reaffirm the notion that intracellular photosensitization reactions causing promutagenic oxidative DNA damage are involved in UVA genotoxicity. 相似文献

Inflammation, gene mutation and photoimmunosuppression in response to UVR-induced oxidative damage contributes to photocarcinogenesis 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation causes inflammation, gene mutation and immunosuppression in the skin. These biological changes are responsible for photocarcinogenesis. UV radiation in sunlight is divided into two wavebands, UVB and UVA, both of which contribute to these biological changes, and therefore probably to skin cancer in humans and animal models. Oxidative damage caused by UV contributes to inflammation, gene mutation and immunosuppression. This article reviews evidence for the hypothesis that UV oxidative damage to these processes contributes to photocarcinogenesis. UVA makes a larger impact on oxidative stress in the skin than UVB by inducing reactive oxygen and nitrogen species which damage DNA, protein and lipids and which also lead to NAD+ depletion, and therefore energy loss from the cell. Lipid peroxidation induces prostaglandin production that in association with UV-induced nitric oxide production causes inflammation. Inflammation drives benign human solar keratosis (SK) to undergo malignant conversion into squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) probably because the inflammatory cells produce reactive oxygen species, thus increasing oxidative damage to DNA and the immune system. Reactive oxygen or nitrogen appears to cause the increase in mutational burden as SK progress into SCC in humans. UVA is particularly important in causing immunosuppression in both humans and mice, and UV lipid peroxidation induced prostaglandin production and UV activation of nitric oxide synthase is important mediators of this event. Other immunosuppressive events are likely to be initiated by UV oxidative stress. Antioxidants have also been shown to reduce photocarcinogenesis. While most of this evidence comes from studies in mice, there is supporting evidence in humans that UV-induced oxidative damage contributes to inflammation, gene mutation and immunosuppression. Available evidence implicates oxidative damage as an important contributor to sunlight-induced carcinogenesis in humans. 相似文献

Long-wave ultraviolet radiation (UVA) may cause extensive DNA damage via reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this study we examined whether UVA- and H2O2-mediated DNA damage have equivalent effects on the induction of G2/M phase checkpoint and cell cycle progression in a transformed keratinocyte cell line HaCaT. By employing single cell gel electrophoresis (comet assay) we determined the equipotent doses of UVA and H2O2 with respect to the induction of alkali-labile sites (an indicator of oxidative DNA decay). However, in contrast to H2O2 which caused a pronounced G2/M cell cycle arrest 24h after treatment, UVA irradiation did not affect cell cycle progression. Increasing UVA doses up to 150 kJ/m2 did not affect cell cycle and proliferation whereas increasing H2O2 concentrations caused a cell cycle block or cell death. Cytometric analysis revealed that G2/M cell cycle arrest took place beyond the cyclin B1 restriction point. We conclude that the DNA damage induced by UVA is easily repaired and does not perturb cell growth, whereas the H2O2-induced damage leads ultimately to cell cycle arrest or cell death. 相似文献

Ultraviolet radiation is a well established epidemiologic risk factor for malignant melanoma. This observation has been linked to the relative resistance of normal melanocytes to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation-induced apoptosis, which consequently leads to accumulation of UVB radiation-induced DNA lesions in melanocytes. Therefore, identification of physiologic factors regulating UVB radiation-induced apoptosis and DNA damage of melanocytes is of utmost biological importance. We show that the neuropeptide alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) blocks UVB radiation-induced apoptosis of normal human melanocytes in vitro. The anti-apoptotic activity of alpha-MSH is not mediated by filtering or by induction of melanin synthesis in melanocytes. alpha-MSH neither leads to changes in the cell cycle distribution nor induces alterations in the expression of the apoptosis-related proteins Bcl(2), Bcl(x), Bax, p53, CD95 (Fas/APO-1), and CD95L (FasL). In contrast, alpha-MSH markedly reduces the formation of UVB radiation-induced DNA damage as demonstrated by reduced amounts of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers, ultimately leading to reduced apoptosis. The reduction of UV radiation-induced DNA damage by alpha-MSH appears to be related to induction of nucleotide excision repair, because UV radiation-mediated apoptosis was not blocked by alpha-MSH in nucleotide excision repair-deficient fibroblasts. These data, for the first time, demonstrate regulation of UVB radiation-induced apoptosis of human melanocytes by a neuropeptide that is physiologically expressed within the epidermis. Apart from its ability to induce photoprotective melanin synthesis, alpha-MSH appears to exert the capacity to reduce UV radiation-induced DNA damage and, thus, may act as a potent protection factor against the harmful effects of UV radiation on the genomic stability of epidermal cells. 相似文献

Oncogenic BRAF mutations are more frequent in cutaneous melanoma occurring at sites with little or moderate sun-induced damage than at sites with severe cumulative solar ultraviolet (UV) damage. We studied cutaneous melanomas from geographic regions with different levels of ambient UV radiation to delineate the relative effects of cumulative UV damage, age, and anatomic site on the frequency of BRAF mutations. We show that BRAF-mutated melanomas occur in a younger age group on skin without marked solar elastosis and less frequently affect the head and neck area, compared to melanomas without BRAF mutations. The findings indicate that BRAF-mutated melanomas arise early in life at low cumulative UV doses, whereas melanomas without BRAF mutations require accumulation of high UV doses over time. The effect of anatomic site on the mutation spectrum further suggests regional differences among cutaneous melanocytes. 相似文献

Ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation is an oxidizing agent that strongly induces the heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) gene and expression of the protein in cultured human skin fibroblasts but weakly induces it in skin keratinocytes. Lower basal levels of HO-1 and much higher basal levels of HO-2 protein are observed in keratinocytes compared with fibroblasts. Using both overexpression and knockdown approaches, we demonstrate that HO-2 modulates basal and UVA-induced HO-1 protein levels, whereas HO-1 levels do not affect HO-2 levels in skin fibroblasts and keratinocytes. Silencing of Bach1 strongly increases HO-1 levels in transformed HaCaT keratinocytes and these HO-1 levels are not further increased by either UVA irradiation or silencing of HO-2. This is consistent with the conclusion that high constitutive levels of HO-2 expression in keratinocytes are responsible for the resistance of these cells to HO-1 induction by UVA radiation and that Bach1 plays a predominant role in influencing the lack of HO-1 expression in keratinocytes. Bach1 inhibition leading to HO-1 induction reduced UVA-irradiation-induced damage as monitored both by the extent of LDH release and by nuclear condensation, so that Bach1 inhibition seems to protect against UVA-irradiation-induced damage in keratinocytes. 相似文献

Melanin is both photosensitizer and photoprotector. Skin cancer rates decrease with increasing constitutive pigmentation, yet the pigment has been shown to be photoreactive and capable of producing damaging reactive oxygen species. We utilized model systems of related cells or similar cell type that vary in constitutive and in induced pigment. Induction of eumelanin in Cloudman S91 mouse melanoma cells leads to less UV-induced killing and to less mutation induction at the ouabain locus (Na+, K+-ATPase). Pigmented mouse melanocytes, melan-b (brown) and melan-a (black) were slightly less sensitive than melan-c (albino) melanocytes to killing after UVC and UVA but were more sensitive to killing after UVB and UVB + UVA. Pigment had a small sensitizing effect on pyrimidine dimer DNA damage in both the melanoma cells and the melanocytes. The lack of consistency in these results suggests that intracellular pigment may disregulate the milieu intérieur resulting in end effects that are unrelated to the original genomic damage. 相似文献

Bipyrimidine photoproducts rather than oxidative lesions are the main type of DNA damage involved in the genotoxic effect of solar UVA radiation 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Exposure to solar UV radiation gives rise to mutations that may lead to skin cancer. UVA (320-340 nm) constitutes the large majority of solar UV radiation but is less effective than UVB (290-320 nm) at damaging DNA. Although UVA has been implicated in photocarcinogenesis, its contribution to sunlight mutagenesis has not been elucidated, and DNA damage produced by UVA remains poorly characterized. We employed HPLC-MS/MS and alkaline agarose gel electrophoresis in conjunction with the use of specific DNA repair proteins to determine the distribution of the various classes and types of DNA lesions, including bipyrimidine photoproducts, in Chinese hamster ovary cells exposed to pure UVA radiation, as well as UVB and simulated sunlight (lambda > 295 nm) for comparison. At UVA doses compatible with human exposure, oxidative DNA lesions are not the major type of damage induced by UVA. Indeed, single-strand breaks, oxidized pyrimidines, oxidized purines (essentially 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine), and cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) are formed in a 1:1:3:10 ratio. In addition, we demonstrate that, in contrast to UVB and sunlight, UVA generates CPDs with a large predominance of TT CPDs, which strongly suggests that they are formed via a photosensitized triplet energy transfer. Moreover, UVA induces neither (6-4) photoproducts nor their Dewar isomers via direct absorption. We also show that UVA photons contained in sunlight, rather than UVB, are implicated in the photoisomerization of (6-4) photoproducts, a quickly repaired damage, into poorly repaired and highly mutagenic Dewar photoproducts. Altogether, our data shed new light on the deleterious effect of UVA. 相似文献

There is growing evidence to suggest that solar radiation-induced, oxidative DNA damage may play an important role in skin carcinogenesis. Numerous methods have been developed to sensitively quantitate 8-oxo-2'deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG), a recognised biomarker of oxidative DNA damage. Immunoassays may represent a means by which the limitations of many techniques, principally derived from DNA extraction and sample workup, may be overcome. We report the evaluation of probes to thymine dimers and oxidative damage in UV-irradiated cells and the DNA derived therefrom. Thymine dimers were most readily recognised, irrespective of whether in situ in cells or in extracted DNA. However, using antibody-based detection the more subtle oxidative modifications required extraction and, in the case of 8-oxodG, denaturation of the DNA prior to successful recognition. In contrast, a recently described novel probe for 8-oxodG detection showed strong recognition in cells, although appearing unsuitable for use with extracted DNA. The probes were subsequently applied to examine the relative induction of lesions in cells following UV irradiation. Guanine-glyoxal lesions predominated over thymine dimers subsequent to UVB irradiation, whereas whilst oxidative lesions increased significantly following UVA irradiation, no induction of thymine dimers was seen. These data support the emerging importance of oxidative DNA damage in UV-induced carcinogenesis. 相似文献

To further investigate the use of DNA repair-enhancing agents for skin cancer prevention, we treated Cdk4R24C/R24C/NrasQ61K mice topically with the T4 endonuclease V DNA repair enzyme (known as Dimericine) immediately prior to neonatal ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure, which has a powerful effect in exacerbating melanoma development in the mouse model. Dimericine has been shown to reduce the incidence of basal-cell and squamous cell carcinoma. Unexpectedly, we saw no difference in penetrance or age of onset of melanoma after neonatal UVR between Dimericine-treated and control animals, although the drug reduced DNA damage and cellular proliferation in the skin. Interestingly, epidermal melanocytes removed cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) more efficiently than surrounding keratinocytes. Our study indicates that neonatal UVR-initiated melanomas may be driven by mechanisms other than solely that of a large CPD load and/or their inefficient repair. This is further suggestive of different mechanisms by which UVR may enhance the transformation of keratinocytes and melanocytes. 相似文献

Zinc protects against ultraviolet A1-induced DNA damage and apoptosis in cultured human fibroblasts 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Ultraviolet Al (UVA1) radiation generates reactive oxygen species and the oxidative stress is known as a mediator of DNA damage
and of apoptosis. We exposed cultured human cutaneous fibroblasts to UVA1 radiation (wavelengths in the 340–450-nm range with
emission peak at 365 nm) and, using the alkaline unwinding method, we showed an immediate significant increase of DNA strand
breaks in exposed cells. Apoptosis was determined by detecting cytoplasmic nucleosomes (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
method) at different time points in fibroblasts exposed to different irradiation doses. In our conditions, UVA1 radiation
induced an early (8 h) and a delayed (18 h) apoptosis. Delayed apoptosis increased in a UVA dosedependent manner. Zinc is
an important metal for DNA protection and has been shown to have inhibitory effects on apoptosis. The addition of zinc (6.5
mg/L) as zinc chloride to the culture medium significantly decreased immediate DNA strand breaks in human skin fibroblasts.
Moreover, zinc chloride significantly decreased UVA1-induced early and delayed apoptosis. Thus, these data show for the first
time in normal cutaneous cultured cells that UVA1 radiation induces apoptosis. This apoptosis is biphasic and appears higher
18 h after the stress. Zinc supplementation can prevent both immediate DNA strand breakage and early and delayed apoptosis,
suggesting that this metal could be of interest for skin cell protection against UVA1 irradiation. 相似文献
