Expression data from human skin exposed to solar-simulated radiation with or without sunscreen

ABSTRACT: Despite widespread use of sunscreens that minimize erythema by blocking ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, incidence rates of melanoma continue to rise. In considering this disparity between intervention and disease prevalence, we investigated the in vivo transcriptome of human skin treated with sunscreen and solar-simulated radiation (ssR). A focal skin area of healthy participants was exposed to ssR at 1 minimal erythema dose (MED), 0.1 MED or 100 J/m2 with or without prior application of sunscreen, or to non-UVB-spectrum of ssR (solar-simulated UVA/visible/infrared radiation: ssA). Skin biopsies were analyzed using expression microarrays. Ninety-eight microarrays from 14 healthy human volunteers were analyzed. Focal skin areas of all 14 volunteers were exposed to 0 J/m2, 100 J/m2, 1 minimal erythema dose (MED), and 0.1 MED of solar-simulated radiation (ssR). Eight of the 14 volunteers (Group 1) were also exposed to ssA (ssR minus UVB) that were generated by removing UVB from 0 J/m2, 100 J/m2, 1 minimal erythema dose (MED), and 0.1 MED of ssR. Additionally, 6 of the 14 volunteers (Group 2) were treated with sunscreen of sun protection factor (SPF) 15, and exposed to 0 J/m2, 100 J/m2, 1 minimal erythema dose (MED), and 0.1 MED of ssR. Biopsy was taken 24 hours after exposure from each focal skin area for RNA extraction.

Project description:Dr. Liu's research group is interested in studying the expression and functions of galectin-3, -7 and -12, in particular the roles of these proteins in inflammation and neoplasm. Members of the galectin family are known to participate in cellular homeostasis by modulating cell growth, controlling cell cycle progression, and inducing or inhibiting apoptosis. It is known that some galectins have similar functions. However, it is not fully understood whether they work cooperatively or not. As the outermost barrier of the body, skin is directly and frequently exposed to a prooxidative environment, including solar ultraviolet A (UVA), ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, and air pollution. Several reports have shown that exposure of cells to UV increase or decrease the levels of galectins. For example, the amounts of galectin-7 mRNA and protein are increased rapidly after UVB irradiation of keratinocytes (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 1999; 96:11329-34). Heat shock and subculturing decrease, while alkylating agents and UV-light increase galectin-3 (Cell Physiol Biochem 2000; 10:149-58). To analyze the change of all galectin gene expression profiles after UVB irradiation and to determine the presence or absence of coordinate regulation, we analyzed the gene expression profiles of keratinocytes exposed to UVB. Normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) were irradiated with 200 J/m2 of UVB. Total RNA will be extracted at 0, 6, 12 and 24 h after irradiation (duplicate) for analysis on the Glyco gene chip. Several reports have shown that exposure to UV light can regulate levels of galectin in skin. This study seeks to analyze the changes in all galectin gene expression profiles post-UVB irradiation to determine the presence or absence of coordinate regulation. In this study, normal human keratinocytes were irradiated with 200J/m2 of UVB. Total RNA was extracted at 0, 6, 12, and 24-hour post irradiation time points, in duplicate. Samples were hybridized and analyzed using the GLYCOv2 array.
