Formation of Cyclobutane Pyrimidine Dimers after UVA Exposure (Dark-CPDs) Is Inhibited by an Hydrophilic Extract of Polypodium leucotomos.

ABSTRACT: Exposure to sun and especially to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exerts well known detrimental effects on skin which are implicated in malignancy. UVR induces production of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs), immediately during exposure and even hours after the exposure, these latter being called dark-CPDs, as consequence of the effects of different reactive species that are formed. Fernblock^® (FB), an aqueous extract of Polypodium leucotomos, has proven to have photoprotective and antioxidant effects on skin. The aim of our work was to investigate the potential photoprotective effect of FB against dark-CPD formation. Murine melanocytes (B16-F10) were exposed to UVA radiation and the production of dark-CPDs and different reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS) was measured. Significant dark-CPD formation could be seen at 3 h after UVA irradiation, which was inhibited by the pre-treatment of cells with FB. Formation of nitric oxide, superoxide and peroxynitrite was increased after irradiation, consistent with the increased CPD formation. FB successfully reduced the production of these reactive species. Hence, these results show how dark-CPDs are formed in UVA irradiated melanocytes, and that FB acts as a potential antioxidant and ROS scavenger, preventing the DNA damage induced by sun exposure.

UVA generates pyrimidine dimers in DNA directly.

Project description:There is increasing evidence that UVA radiation, which makes up approximately 95% of the solar UV light reaching the Earth's surface and is also commonly used for cosmetic purposes, is genotoxic. However, in contrast to UVC and UVB, the mechanisms by which UVA produces various DNA lesions are still unclear. In addition, the relative amounts of various types of UVA lesions and their mutagenic significance are also a subject of debate. Here, we exploit atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging of individual DNA molecules, alone and in complexes with a suite of DNA repair enzymes and antibodies, to directly quantify UVA damage and reexamine its basic mechanisms at a single-molecule level. By combining the activity of endonuclease IV and T4 endonuclease V on highly purified and UVA-irradiated pUC18 plasmids, we show by direct AFM imaging that UVA produces a significant amount of abasic sites and cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs). However, we find that only approximately 60% of the T4 endonuclease V-sensitive sites, which are commonly counted as CPDs, are true CPDs; the other 40% are abasic sites. Most importantly, our results obtained by AFM imaging of highly purified native and synthetic DNA using T4 endonuclease V, photolyase, and anti-CPD antibodies strongly suggest that CPDs are produced by UVA directly. Thus, our observations contradict the predominant view that as-yet-unidentified photosensitizers are required to transfer the energy of UVA to DNA to produce CPDs. Our results may help to resolve the long-standing controversy about the origin of UVA-produced CPDs in DNA.

The UV/Visible Radiation Boundary Region (385-405 nm) Damages Skin Cells and Induces "dark" Cyclobutane Pyrimidine Dimers in Human Skin in vivo.

Project description:The adverse effects of terrestrial solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) (~295-400 nm) on the skin are well documented, especially in the UVB region (~295-320 nm). The effects of very long-wave UVA (>380 nm) and visible radiation (≥400 nm) are much less known. Sunscreens have been beneficial in inhibiting a wide range of photodamage, however most formulations provide very little protection in the long wave UVA region (380-400 nm) and almost none from shortwave visible wavelengths (400-420 nm). We demonstrate photodamage in this region for a number of different endpoints including cell viability, DNA damage (delayed cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers), differential gene expression (for genes associated with inflammation, oxidative stress and photoageing) and induction of oxidizing species in vitro in HaCaT keratinocytes and in vivo in human volunteers. This work has implications for phototherapy and photoprotection.

Dynamic accumulation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and its response to changes in DNA conformation.

Project description:Photochemical dimerization of adjacent pyrimidines is fundamental to the creation of mutagenic hotspots caused by ultraviolet light. Distribution of the resulting lesions (cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers, CPDs) is already known to be highly variable in cells, and in vitro models have implicated DNA conformation as a major basis for this observation. Past efforts have primarily focused on mechanisms that influence CPD formation and have rarely considered contributions of CPD reversion. However, reversion is competitive under the standard conditions of 254 nm irradiation as illustrated in this report based on the dynamic response of CPDs to changes in DNA conformation. A periodic profile of CPDs was recreated in DNA held in a bent conformation by λ repressor. After linearization of this DNA, the CPD profile relaxed to its characteristic uniform distribution over a similar time of irradiation to that required to generate the initial profile. Similarly, when a T tract was released from a bent conformation, its CPD profile converted under further irradiation to that consistent with a linear T tract. This interconversion of CPDs indicates that both its formation and reversion exert control on CPD populations long before photo-steady-state conditions are achieved and suggests that the dominant sites of CPDs will evolve as DNA conformation changes in response to natural cellular processes.

Transcriptome analysis reveals cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers as a major source of UV-induced DNA breaks.

Project description:Photolyase transgenic mice have opened new avenues to improve our understanding of the cytotoxic effects of ultraviolet (UV) light on skin by providing a means to selectively remove either cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) or pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone photoproducts. Here, we have taken a genomics approach to delineate pathways through which CPDs might contribute to the harmful effects of UV exposure. We show that CPDs, rather than other DNA lesions or damaged macromolecules, comprise the principal mediator of the cellular transcriptional response to UV. The most prominent pathway induced by CPDs is that associated with DNA double-strand break (DSB) signalling and repair. Moreover, we show that CPDs provoke accumulation of gamma-H2AX, P53bp1 and Rad51 foci as well as an increase in the amount of DSBs, which coincides with accumulation of cells in S phase. Thus, conversion of unrepaired CPD lesions into DNA breaks during DNA replication may comprise one of the principal instigators of UV-mediated cytotoxicity.

Detection of UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers by near-infrared spectroscopy and aquaphotomics.

Project description:Ultraviolet (UV) radiation causes cellular DNA damage, among which cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) are responsible for a variety of genetic mutations. Although several approaches have been developed for detection of CPDs, conventional methods require time-consuming steps. Aquaphotomics, a new approach based on near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and multivariate analysis that determines interactions between water and other components of the solution, has become an effective method for qualitative and quantitative parameters measurement in the solutions. NIR spectral patterns of UVC-irradiated and nonirradiated DNA solutions were evaluated using aquaphotomics for detection of UV-induced CPDs. Groups of UV-irradiated and nonirradiated DNA samples were classified (87.5% accuracy) by soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA). A precise regression model calculated from NIR water spectral patterns based on UVC doses (r Val = 0.9457) and the concentration of cis-syn cyclobutane thymine dimers (cis-syn T<>Ts; r Val = 0.9993) was developed using partial least squares regression (PLSR), while taking advantage of water spectral patterns, particularly around 1400-1500 nm. Our results suggested that, in contrast to DNA, the formation of cis-syn T<>Ts increased the strongly hydrogen bonded water. Additionally, NIRS could qualitatively and quantitatively detect cis-syn T<>Ts in isolated DNA aqueous solutions upon UVC exposure.

Cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers from UVB exposure induce a hypermetabolic state in keratinocytes via mitochondrial oxidative stress.

Project description:Ultraviolet B radiation (UVB) is an environmental complete carcinogen, which induces and promotes keratinocyte carcinomas, the most common human malignancies. UVB induces the formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs). Repairing CPDs through nucleotide excision repair is slow and error-prone in placental mammals. In addition to the mutagenic and malignancy-inducing effects, UVB also elicits poorly understood complex metabolic changes in keratinocytes, possibly through CPDs. To determine the effects of CPDs, CPD-photolyase was overexpressed in keratinocytes using an N1-methyl pseudouridine-containing in vitro-transcribed mRNA. CPD-photolyase, which is normally not present in placental mammals, can efficiently and rapidly repair CPDs to block signaling pathways elicited by CPDs. Keratinocytes surviving UVB irradiation turn hypermetabolic. We show that CPD-evoked mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production, followed by the activation of several energy sensor enzymes, including sirtuins, AMPK, mTORC1, mTORC2, p53, and ATM, is responsible for the compensatory metabolic adaptations in keratinocytes surviving UVB irradiation. Compensatory metabolic changes consist of enhanced glycolytic flux, Szent-Györgyi-Krebs cycle, and terminal oxidation. Furthermore, mitochondrial fusion, mitochondrial biogenesis, and lipophagy characterize compensatory hypermetabolism in UVB-exposed keratinocytes. These properties not only support the survival of keratinocytes, but also contribute to UVB-induced differentiation of keratinocytes. Our results indicate that CPD-dependent signaling acutely maintains skin integrity by supporting cellular energy metabolism.

Sequence specificity of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers in DNA treated with solar (ultraviolet B) radiation.

Project description:Cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers were quantified at the sequence level after irradiation with solar ultraviolet (UVB) and nonsolar ultraviolet (UVC) light sources. The yield of photoproducts at specific sites was dependent on the nucleotide composition in and around the potential lesion as well as on the wavelength of ultraviolet light used to induce the damage. Induction was greater in the presence of 5' flanking pyrimidines than purines; 5' guanine inhibited induction more than adenine. UVB irradiation increased the induction of cyclobutane dimers containing cytosine relative to thymine homodimers. At the single UVC and UVB fluences used, the ratio of thymine homodimers (T mean value of T) to dimers containing cytosine (C mean value of T, T mean value of C, C mean value of C) was greater after UVC compared to UVB irradiation.

Major roles of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers, nucleotide excision repair and ATR in the alternative splicing response to UV irradiation

Project description:Alternative splicing (AS) is the main process that amplifies DNA information and is a crucial target of signaling cascades resulting from UV irradiation of human cells. The specific impact of UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) at the transcriptional and AS levels has not been addressed. By using a CPD photolyase, a flavoenzyme that directly reverts CPDs, we analyze the contribution of this lesion to the expression program in human keratinocytes.

Methyl-CpG binding domain protein acts to regulate the repair of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers on rice DNA.

Project description:UVB radiation causes cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) to form on the DNA of living organisms. This study found that overexpression of the silicon absorbance gene Lsi1 reduced the accumulation of CPDs in rice, which profited from the reactivation by photolyase. The transcript abundance of deoxyribodipyrimidine photolyase (Os10g0167600) was generally correlated with the silicon content of the rice, and the up-regulation of Os10g0167600 was found to be highest in the UVB-treated Lsi1-overexpressed (Lsi1-OX) rice. A trans-acting factor, methyl-CpG binding domain protein (OsMeCP), was found to interact with the cis-element of Os10g0167600. The nucleic location of OsMeCP effectively enabled the transcriptional regulation. Compared with the WT, the level of OsMeCP was lower in the Lsi1-OX rice but higher in the Lsi1-RNAi line. Rice cultured in a high silicate-concentration solution also exhibited less OsMeCP abundance. Overexpression of OsMeCP led to lower Os10g0167600 transcript levels and a higher CPD content than in the WT, but the reverse was true in the OsMeCP-RNAi line. These findings indicate that OsMeCP acts as a negative regulator of silicon, and can mediate the repression of the transcription from Os10g0167600, which inhibits the photoreactivation of the photolyase involved in the repair of CPDs.

The Roles of Several Residues of Escherichia coli DNA Photolyase in the Highly Efficient Photo-Repair of Cyclobutane Pyrimidine Dimers.

Project description:Escherichia coli DNA photolyase is an enzyme that repairs the major kind of UV-induced lesions, cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) in DNA utilizing 350-450 nm light as energy source. The enzyme has very high photo-repair efficiency (the quantum yield of the reaction is ~0.85), which is significantly greater than many model compounds that mimic photolyase. This suggests that some residues of the protein play important roles in the photo-repair of CPD. In this paper, we have focused on several residues discussed their roles in catalysis by reviewing the existing literature and some hypotheses.
