The influence of caffeine on cell survival in excision-proficient and excision-deficient xeroderma pigmentosum and normal human cell strains following ultraviolet-light irradiation.
Authors:C F Arlett  S A Harcourt  B C Broughton
Abstract:A uniform response to UV of four normal cell strains was demonstrated. One excision-proficient xeroderma pigmentosum variant strain (XP7TA) had a wild-type UV response but a second (XP30RO) was more sensitive. An excision-deficient xeroderma pigmentosum strain XP4L0 was substantially more sensitive than wild-type cell strains. A continuous post-irradiation treatment with non-toxic levels of caffeine enhanced the lethal effect of UV light in both xeroderma pigmentosum variant cell strains but not in cells from normal individuals. There was no detectable effect on cells from a xeroderma pigmentosum individual from complementation group A. These results correlate well with observations on the influence of caffeine on post-replication repair in the three classes of cells.
