The thermal helix-coil transition of UV irradiated collagen in rat tail tendon has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. During UVB irradiation the tendons were immersed in water to keep the collagen fibers in a fully hydrated condition at all times. UV irradiation induced changes in collagen which caused both stabilization and destabilization of the triple helix in fibers. The helix-coil transition for non-irradiated collagen occurred near 64 degrees C, for irradiated 1 and 3 h at 66 and 67 degrees C, respectively. After irradiating for longer times (20-66 h) the helix-coil transition peak occurred at much lower temperatures. The peak was very broad and suggested that collagen was reduced by UV to different polypeptides of different molecular weight and different lower thermal stabilities. It was caused by the disruption of a network of hydrogen-bonded water molecules surrounding the collagen macromolecule. 相似文献

The mechanical properties of RTT collagen tendon before and after UV irradiation have been investigated by mechanical testing (Instron). Air-dried tendon were submitted to treatment with UV irradiation (wavelength 254 nm) for different time intervals. The changes in such mechanical properties as breaking strength and percentage elongation have been investigated. The results have shown, that the mechanical properties of the tendon were greatly affected by time of UV irradiation. Ultimate tensile strength and ultimate percentage elongation decreased after UV irradiation of the tendon. Increasing UV irradiation leads to a decrease in Young's modulus of the tendon. 相似文献

The results of experimental studies on the effect of UV irradiation on collagen, artificial lipid membranes, and rat skin, as well as the protective effect of plant extracts from UV radiation are presented. The irradiation of collagen and lipid membranes with solar and artificial UV light leads to structural changes in these objects. In particular, collagen molecules denature and transfer into a new conformational state. The effect of UV light on lipid membranes and liposomes leads to a disturbance of membrane structure, which is connected with a decrease in the number of lipid molecules involved in the cooperative transition from gel into a liquid crystal state. The components of plant extracts (mainly flavonoids) absorb UV radiation in the erythem-forming spectral area and block the destructive processes occurring in collagen and lipids. 相似文献

The thermal helix-coil transition in UV irradiated collagen solution, collagen film and pieces of rat tail tendon (RTT) were compared. Their thermal stability’s were determined by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and by viscometric measurements. The denaturation temperatures of collagen solution, film and pieces of RTT were different. The helix-coil transition occur near 40°C in collagen solution, near 112°C in collagen film, and near 101°C in pieces of RTT. After UV irradiation the thermal helix-coil transition of collagen samples were changed. These changes depend on the degree of hydratation. 相似文献

Skin collagen metabolism abnormalities induced by ultraviolet (UV) radiation are the major causes of skin photoaging. It has been shown that the one-time exposure of UV irradiation decreases procollagen mRNA expression in dermis and that chronic UV irradiation decreases collagen amounts and induces wrinkle formation. Amino acids are generally known to regulate protein metabolism. Therefore, we investigated the effects of UV irradiation and various orally administered amino acids on skin collagen synthesis rates. Groups of 4-5 male, 8-week-old HR-1 hairless mice were irradiated with UVB (66 mJ/cm2) twice every other day, then fasted for 16 h. The fractional synthesis rate (FSR; %/h) of skin tropocollagen was evaluated by incorporating L-[ring-2H5]-phenylalanine. We confirmed that the FSR of dermal tropocollagen decreased after UVB irradiation. The FSR of dermal tropocollagen was measured 30 min after a single oral administration of amino acids (1 g/kg) to groups of 5-16 UVB-irradiated mice. Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA, 1.34±0.32), arginine (Arg, 1.66±0.39), glutamine (Gln, 1.75±0.60), and proline (Pro, 1.48±0.26) did not increase the FSR of skin tropocollagen compared with distilled water, which was used as a control (1.56±0.30). However, essential amino acids mixtures (BCAA+Arg+Gln, BCAA+Gln, and BCAA+Pro) significantly increased the FSR (2.07±0.58, 2.04±0.54, 2.01±0.50 and 2.07±0.59, respectively). This result suggests that combinations of BCAA and glutamine or proline are important for restoring dermal collagen protein synthesis impaired by UV irradiation. 相似文献

Fibrils of Type I collagen in the skin are exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light and there have been claims that collagen photo-degradation leads to wrinkles and may contribute to skin cancers. To understand the effects of UV radiation on collagen, Type I collagen solutions were exposed to the UV-C wavelength of 254 nm for defined lengths of time at 4°C. Circular dichroism (CD) experiments show that irradiation of collagen leads to high loss of triple helical content with a new lower thermal stability peak and SDS-gel electrophoresis indicates breakdown of collagen chains. To better define the effects of UV radiation on the collagen triple-helix, the studies were extended to peptides which model the collagen sequence and conformation. CD studies showed irradiation for days led to lower magnitudes of the triple-helix maximum at 225 nm and lower thermal stabilities for two peptides containing multiple Gly-Pro-Hyp triplets. In contrast, the highest radiation exposure led to little change in the T(m) values of (Gly-Pro-Pro)(10) and (Ala-Hyp-Gly)(10) , although (Gly-Pro-Pro)(10) did show a significant decrease in triple helix intensity. Mass spectroscopy indicated preferential cleavage sites within the peptides, and identification of some of the most susceptible sites of cleavage. The effect of radiation on these well defined peptides gives insight into the sequence and conformational specificity of photo-degradation of collagen. 相似文献

Exponentially growing human erythroleukemia K562 cells were permeabilized and the dose dependent decrease of DNA synthesis rate was measured after ultraviolet (UV B, 290 nm) irradiation. Cells were able to overcome 2 and 5 J/m2 UV doses, partial recovery was observed at 15 J/m2, while at high (25 J/m2) UV dose replicative DNA synthesis remained suppressed. K562 cells were subjected to synchronization prior to and after UV irradiation (24 J/m2) and 18 fractions were collected by centrifugal elutriation. Cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry did not show early apoptotic cells after UV irradiation. The gradual increase in DNA content typical for non-irradiated cells was contrasted by an early S phase block between 2.2 and 2.4 C-values after UV irradiation. Cell cycle dependent chromatin changes after ultraviolet irradiation were seen as a fine fibrillary network covering the mainly fibrous chromatin structures and incompletely folded primitive chromosomes. Based on observations after UV irradiation and on earlier results with cadmium treatment and gamma irradiation, we confirm that typical chromatin changes characteristic to genotoxic agents can be recognized and classified. 相似文献

Exposure of human skin to solar ultraviolet (UV) irradiation induces matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) activity, which degrades type I collagen fibrils. Type I collagen is the most abundant protein in skin and constitutes the majority of skin connective tissue (dermis). Degradation of collagen fibrils impairs the structure and function of skin that characterize skin aging. Decorin is the predominant proteoglycan in human dermis. In model systems, decorin binds to and protects type I collagen fibrils from proteolytic degradation by enzymes such as MMP-1. Little is known regarding alterations of decorin in response to UV irradiation. We found that solar-simulated UV irradiation of human skin in vivo stimulated substantial decorin degradation, with kinetics similar to infiltration of polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells. Proteases that were released from isolated PMN cells degraded decorin in vitro. A highly selective inhibitor of neutrophil elastase blocked decorin breakdown by proteases released from PMN cells. Furthermore, purified neutrophil elastase cleaved decorin in vitro and generated fragments with similar molecular weights as those resulting from protease activity released from PMN cells, and as observed in UV-irradiated human skin. Cleavage of decorin by neutrophil elastase significantly augmented fragmentation of type I collagen fibrils by MMP-1. Taken together, these data indicate that PMN cell proteases, especially neutrophil elastase, degrade decorin, and this degradation renders collagen fibrils more susceptible to MMP-1 cleavage. These data identify decorin degradation and neutrophil elastase as potential therapeutic targets for mitigating sun exposure-induced collagen fibril degradation in human skin. 相似文献

Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation rapidly increases tyrosine phosphorylation (i.e. activates) of epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) in human skin. EGFR-dependent signaling pathways drive increased expression of matrix metalloproteinases, whose actions fragment collagen and elastin fibers, the primary structural protein components in skin connective tissue. Connective tissue fragmentation, which results from chronic exposure to solar UV irradiation, is a major determinant of premature skin aging (photoaging). UV irradiation generates reactive oxygen species, which readily react with conserved cysteine residues in the active site of protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTP). We report here that EGFR activation by UV irradiation results from oxidative inhibition of receptor type PTP-kappa (RPTP-kappa). RPTP-kappa directly counters intrinsic EGFR tyrosine kinase activity, thereby maintaining EGFR in an inactive state. Reversible, oxidative inactivation of RPTP-kappa activity by UV irradiation shifts the kinase-phosphatase balance in favor of EGFR activation. These data delineate a novel mechanism of EGFR regulation and identify RPTP-kappa as a key molecular target for antioxidant protection against skin aging. 相似文献

Extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation is a hallmark of many chronic inflammatory diseases that can lead to a loss of function, aging, and disease progression. Ultraviolet light (UV) irradiation from the sun is widely considered as the major cause of visible human skin aging, causing increased inflammation and enhanced ECM degradation. Granzyme B (GzmB), a serine protease that is expressed by a variety of cells, accumulates in the extracellular milieu during chronic inflammation and cleaves a number of ECM proteins. We hypothesized that GzmB contributes to ECM degradation in the skin after UV irradiation through both direct cleavage of ECM proteins and indirectly through the induction of other proteinases. Wild‐type and GzmB‐knockout mice were repeatedly exposed to minimal erythemal doses of solar‐simulated UV irradiation for 20 weeks. GzmB expression was significantly increased in wild‐type treated skin compared to nonirradiated controls, colocalizing to keratinocytes and to an increased mast cell population. GzmB deficiency significantly protected against the formation of wrinkles and the loss of dermal collagen density, which was related to the cleavage of decorin, an abundant proteoglycan involved in collagen fibrillogenesis and integrity. GzmB also cleaved fibronectin, and GzmB‐mediated fibronectin fragments increased the expression of collagen‐degrading matrix metalloproteinase‐1 (MMP‐1) in fibroblasts. Collectively, these findings indicate a significant role for GzmB in ECM degradation that may have implications in many age‐related chronic inflammatory diseases. 相似文献

Light-regulated molecular switches that reversibly control biomolecular function could provide new opportunities for controlling activity in diagnostics, affinity separations, bioprocessing, therapeutics, and bioelectronics applications. Here we show that site-specific conjugation of light-responsive polymers near the biotin-binding pocket of streptavidin provides control of ligand binding affinity in response to UV and visible light irradiation. Two different light-responsive polymers were utilized that display opposite photoresponsive solubility changes under UV or visible (vis) light irradiation in aqueous solutions. At 40 degrees C, the N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMA)-co-4-phenylazophenyl acrylate (AZAA) copolymer (DMAA) was soluble under UV irradiation and precipitated under visible light, while the DMA-co-N-4-phenylazophenyl acrylamide (AZAAm) copolymer (DMAAm) was soluble under visible irradiation and precipitated under UV light. Both polymers were synthesized with a vinyl sulfone terminus and conjugated to the Glu116Cys (E116C) streptavidin mutant via thiol coupling. The DMAA-streptavidin conjugate bound biotin efficiently when the polymer was in the soluble state under UV irradiation, but under visible irradiation, the polymer collapsed and blocked free biotin association. Furthermore, if biotin was allowed to bind when the polymer was in the soluble state under UV irradiation, then when the polymer was collapsed by visible light, the streptavidin released the bound biotin. The DMAAm-streptavidin conjugate showed the opposite response, with association of biotin allowed under visible light irradiation and blocked under UV irradiation. The photoresponses of the streptavidin conjugates thus correspond to the original photoresponsive phase transition properties of the polymer switches triggered by the cis-trans isomerization of the diazo chromophores. 相似文献

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation affects the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the human skin. The small leucine-rich repeat protein fibromodulin interacts with type I and II collagen fibrils, thereby affecting ECM assembly. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether short wave UV (UVB) or long wave UV (UVA) irradiation influences fibromodulin expression. Exponentially growing human fibroblasts (IMR-90 cells) were exposed to increasing doses of UVB (2.5–60 mJ/cm2) or UVA (0.5–10 J/cm2). After UV irradiation fibromodulin, p21 and GADD45 levels were evaluated as well as cell viability, reactive oxygen species formation (ROS) and DNA damage. We found that fibromodulin expression: (i) increased after UVB and UVA irradiation; (ii) was 10-fold higher after UVA (10 J/cm2) versus 5-fold with UVB (10 mJ/cm2); (iii) correlated with reactive oxygen species formation, particularly after UVA; and (iv) was linked to the DNA damage binding protein (DDB1) translocation in the nucleus, particularly after UVB. These results further suggest that the UV-induced fibromodulin increase could counteract the UV-induced connective tissue damage, promoting the assembly of new collagen fibrils. 相似文献

A spectrocolorimetric study on the effect of ultraviolet irradiation of four tropical hardwoods 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Colour modifications caused by exposure to artificial UV radiation (350 nm, UV-A) of four tropical hardwoods, jatobá, angelim vermelho, garapeira, and marupá, have been evaluated by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and by the CIE-L*a*b* system. To obtain the absorption maxima of the chromophore species formed during UV irradiation, Kubelka-Munk (K-M) difference spectra (non-irradiated-irradiated) have been recorded as a function of exposure time. The K-M difference spectra have shown that the investigated species develop strong absorption bands in the visible region upon UV irradiation that were assigned to the formation of lignin and extractive photodegradation products. The K-M difference spectra and CIE-L*a*b* parameters ( DeltaL, Deltaa, and Deltab) have shown that marupá is the wood species that suffers the major changes upon UV irradiation while angelim vermelho was the least affected. 相似文献

A simple method to prepare size-regulated spheroids has been successfully developed by combining a temperature responsive polymer, poly-N-isopropyl-acrylamide (PNIPAAm), conjugated with collagen and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation with photomasks. The coating layer composed of PNIPAAm conjugated with collagen functions as a cell substratum at 37 degrees C, then when lowering the temperature of culture medium the cells attached to it detach as a self-supporting sheet. This is because PNIPAAm dissolves into the culture medium below the lower critical solution temperature LCST; about 30 degrees C, but it is insoluble above the LCST. The detached cell sheet forms a multicellular spheroid. On the other hand, UV effectively immobilized collagen in the coating layer because UV generates crosslinkages in collagen molecules. Crosslinkages were quantitatively introduced by controlling the energy of UV-irradiation thus the ability of human dermal fibroblasts to attach to and detach from the surface was tightly controlled. When the collagen content in the coating layer was 9 mug/cm(2) (collagen ratio, 4.5%), UV-irradiation energy of 2000 J/m(2) was suitable to obtain 100% of the attachability and detachability. However, the cells did not attach to the nonirradiated surface at this collagen content because insufficient collagen was immobilized. Using photomakes to apply UV-irradiation, it was possible to obtain cell-adhesive areas(irradiated areas) and nonadhesive areas (nonirradiated areas) on the same surface. Consequently, spheroids of any size and in any number from one dish were prepared. The viability of cells in spheroids 350 mum in diameter was maintained at a high level for 28 days; however, viability of spheroids 800 mum in diameter rapidly decreased for 2 days. The size was very important to maintain the viability. This novel method is useful to develop size-regulated spheroids for different applications; for example, in toxicology tests.

AbstractUltraviolet (UV) rays cause skin damage. Chronic exposure to UV irradiation causes decreased collagen synthesis, degenerative changes in collagen bundles, accumulation of elastotic material and increased epidermal thickness. Origanum hypericifolium, an endemic Turkish plant, belongs to Lamiaceae family. The main constituents of its oil are monoterpenes including cymene, carvacrol, thymol and γ-terpinene. The effects of undiluted O. hypericifolium oil on UVB irradiated skin of mice were investigated histochemically. Four groups of female BALB/c mice, whose dorsal hair was shaved, were allocated as follows: non-UVB irradiated (Group 1), UVB-irradiated (Group 2), O. hypericifolium oil treated (Group 3), and O. hypericifolium oil treated and UVB irradiated (Group 4). Sections of dorsal skin samples were stained with Mallory's phosphotungstic acid hematoxylin for collagen fibers and Taenzer-Unna orcein for elastic fibers. Sections also were stained with hematoxylin and eosin to measure epidermal thickness. We observed intense staining of collagen and homogeneous, scattered thin elastic fibers in Group 1; scattered and weakly stained collagen and curled, amorphous, accumulate elastic fibers in Group 2; and intense staining of collagen in Groups 3 and 4. Accumulation of elastic fibers in the dermis was unremarkable in Groups 3 and 4. In Groups 3 and 4, O. hypericifolium oil treatment thickened the epidermis. Epidermal thickness was greatest in Group 4. We suggest that O. hypericifolium oil may block UVB induced alterations of collagen and elastic fibers, and increase epidermal thickness. 相似文献

Fibrosis, characterized by accumulation of collagen, is a delayed result of radiation injury in many tissues, including lung. To investigate its development, synthesis and degradation of collagen were measured in lungs of mice after X irradiation of the whole thorax. The ratio of type I (coarse fibered) to type III (meshwork) collagen was also determined. Synthesis of procollagen, measured as the activities of prolyl-4-hydroxylase and protein disulfide isomerase in lung tissue, was increased at 2 months after X-ray doses of 5, 7.5, and 9 Gy. Maximal increases were observed 6 to 7 months after doses of 9 Gy and persisted up to 15 months after exposure. Increases after 5 and 7.5 Gy were more gradual, but by 1 year after irradiation they had reached levels similar to those after 9 Gy. X irradiation had no effect on the degradation of collagen as assessed by collagenase activity in lung. The ratio of type I to type III collagen, analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of collagen-derived cyanogen bromide peptides, was the same in irradiated lungs as in age-matched controls. Therefore, increased synthesis of procollagen, rather than decreased degradation of collagen or changes in collagen type, is an important factor in the accumulation of collagen in irradiated lung. 相似文献

A simple method for preparing multicellular spheroids from varied cell types has been successfully developed by using a stepwise gradient surface in cell attachability or detachability. The surface was composed of poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAAm), a temperature responsive polymer, as a cell detaching component, and collagen as a cell attaching component. The surface functions as a culture substratum at 37 degrees C; then, when lowering the temperature of culture medium, the cells attached to it detach as a self-supporting sheet. This is because PNIPAAm dissolves into the culture medium below the lower critical solution temperature (LCST; about 30 degrees C), but it is insoluble above the LCST. The detached cell sheet forms a multicellular spheroid. The stepwise gradient surface which consisted of six different sectors was prepared by exposing a surface of the PNIPAAm-collagen mixture to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation six times using a photomask, sliding the hole position in the photomask, and changing the energy of UV irradiation. This was because crosslinking of collagen depended on the energy of UV irradiation, then, cell attachability to and detachability from the surface were tightly controlled by changing the energy.The stepwise gradient surface allowed us to easily determine optimal surface conditions to obtain good cell attachment and detachment as a self-supporting sheet from the surface to prepare multicellular spheroids. According to the evaluation of the attachability and detachability of 23 cell types, the optimal surface condition remarkably depended on each cell type. The detached cells under optimal surface conditions, including fibroblasts, osteoblastic cells, smooth muscle cells, and measangial cells, which were very difficult to form spherioids using conventional methods, were able to form multicellular spheroids. The results clearly demonstrate that the above-described method for preparing multicellular spheroids can be applied to varied cell types. (c) 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献
