The effect of ultraviolet irradiation on soluble collagen.

ABSTRACT: 1. The effect of ultraviolet irradiation on acid-soluble and neutral-salt-soluble calf-skin collagen was studied by chromatography, gel filtration, amino acid analysis and sedimentation of the sub-units, and the reaction kinetics of degradation were obtained from viscosity and optical rotation measurements. 2. It was demonstrated that, whereas the structure of neutral-salt-soluble calf-skin collagen may be represented by the formula (alpha(1))(2)alpha(2), the acid-soluble extract has the formula alpha(1).(alpha(2))(2). The acid-soluble collagen is also unusual in containing a large amount of a component that could be beta(22). 3. Ultraviolet irradiation causes the progressive degradation of the collagen molecule into smaller molecular fragments that subsequently lose their helical nature. The rate constants show that the denaturation of soluble collagens by ultraviolet irradiation is much slower, under the conditions used, than denaturation by heat or enzymes.

The effect of ultraviolet irradiation on acid-soluble collagen.

Project description:1. A study has been made of the effect of ultraviolet irradiation on the conformational changes taking place in cooled solutions of thermally denatured acid-soluble calf-skin collagen. 2. The increase in negative rotation and viscosity at 15 degrees for irradiated and thermally denatured collagen solutions becomes less as the irradiation dose is increased. 3. The principal effect of ultraviolet irradiation is the fission of the primary collagen chains, eventually yielding chain lengths incapable of stabilizing a helical structure. 4. The effects of ultraviolet irradiation on acid-soluble collagen may be closely correlated with similar effects on neutral salt-soluble collagen.

The effect of ultraviolet irradiation on collagen-fold formation.

Project description:1. A study has been made of the effect of ultraviolet irradiation, in the presence of air and nitrogen, on the conformational changes taking place in cooled solutions of gelatin prepared from thermally denatured neutral-salt-soluble collagen. 2. The increase in negative rotation and viscosity at 15 degrees for irradiated and thermally denatured solutions of collagen becomes less as the irradiation time is increased. 3. The principal effect of ultraviolet irradiation is the fission of the primary collagen peptide chains, eventually yielding chain lengths incapable of stabilizing a helical structure. 4. Irradiation in both air and nitrogen results in a loss of tyrosine, histidine and phenylalanine, with more denaturation occurring in the presence of nitrogen.

The effect of gamma-irradiation on soluble collagen.

Project description:1. A study was made of the effect of gamma-irradiation on the sub-unit composition, as well as the conformational changes taking place in cooled solutions of thermally denatured neutral-salt-soluble and acid-soluble collagen. 2. The increase in negative rotation and viscosity at 15 degrees for irradiated and thermally denatured collagen solutions becomes less as the irradiation dose is increased. 3. The initial effect of gamma-irradiation is the depolymerization of the dimers found in both neutral-salt-soluble and acid-soluble collagen. 4. The principal effect of gamma-irradiation up to 10 Mrads is the fission of peptide bonds, yielding crystalline irradiation-resistant portions of the molecule incapable of associating to the native structure. 5. The effects of gamma-irradiation on both neutral-salt-soluble and acid-soluble collagen are very similar and bear a close resemblance to the effects induced by ultraviolet irradiation.

The decomposition of soluble collagen by gamma-irradiation.

Project description:1. The effect of gamma-irradiation in the range 1 krad-10 Mrads on freeze-dried acid-soluble collagen was studied. 2. The specific-rotation and reduced-viscosity recoveries after heating and cooling of the irradiated collagen in solution showed a high degree of dependence on irradiation dose, with reduced viscosity showing significantly less recovery than specific rotation on increasing the irradiation dose. 3. The dependence of reduced viscosity on concentration was greatly decreased with increased doses of gamma-irradiation. 4. The melting temperature measured by optical rotation also decreased as the irradiation dose was increased, and at low doses was distinctly biphasic. 5. Physical properties showed that the action of gamma-irradiation up to 10 Mrads occurred in two distinct phases, with the early changes being extremely sensitive to irradiation dose. 6. The action of the gamma-irradiation is discussed in terms of the structure of tropocollagen.

Effect of Light-Emitting Diodes and Ultraviolet Irradiation on the Soluble Sugar, Organic Acid, and Carotenoid Content of Postharvest Sweet Oranges (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck).

Project description:Mature 'Hamlin' sweet oranges (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck) were irradiated using light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and ultraviolet (UV) light for six days after harvest. Based on evaluation of the basic ripening parameters of fruits, the contents of soluble sugars, organic acids, and carotenoids were analyzed (in pulps) on the sixth day by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results showed that LED and UV irradiation not only accelerated orange ripening but also caused significant changes in the soluble sugar, organic acid, and carotenoid content. Compared with fruit subjected to dark shade (DS) treatment, the total soluble sugar, fructose, and glucose contents increased significantly in UV-treated (UVA, UVB, and UVC) fruits, while the sucrose content increased remarkably in white light, UVB, and UVC-treated fruits (p < 0.05). UV treatment was associated with inducing the largest effect on the total soluble sugar content. Except for UVB, other types of light notably induced an accumulation of the total organic acid content, none but blue light and red light markedly induced citric acid accumulation (p < 0.05). Interestingly, only the red light and dark shade treatments had markedly positive effects in terms of inducing carotenoid accumulation, including the total carotenoid, isolutein, zeaxanthin, lutein, neoxanthin, all-trans-violaxanthin, phytofluene, cis-?-carotene, and ?-carotene concentrations. Other light treatments had significantly negative effects on carotenoid accumulation (p < 0.05). Therefore, soluble sugar, organic acid, and carotenoid accumulation in sweet oranges vary depending on the levels of UV and LED irradiation. Appropriate light irradiation is a potentially effective way to maintain or improve postharvest fruit quality.

MiRNAs expression in supernatant after ultraviolet irradiation

Project description:To investigate the mechanism of radiation induced bystander effect, we explored miRNAs expression in supernatant of human skin fibroblasts after culturing for 24h post UV irradiation. Primary human skin fibroblasts were obtained from healthy volunteers by means of a foreskin circumcision. Human skin fibroblasts was irradiated with 20J/cm2 UVA or 60mJ/cm2 UVB. Expression of miRNAs were tested by microarray between radiation and control samples.

Focal brain lesions induced with ultraviolet irradiation.

Project description:Lesion and inactivation methods have played important roles in neuroscience studies. However, traditional techniques for creating a brain lesion are highly invasive, and control of lesion size and shape using these techniques is not easy. Here, we developed a novel method for creating a lesion on the cortical surface via 365?nm ultraviolet (UV) irradiation without breaking the dura mater. We demonstrated that 2.0?mWh UV irradiation, but not the same amount of non-UV light irradiation, induced an inverted bell-shaped lesion with neuronal loss and accumulation of glial cells. Moreover, the volume of the UV irradiation-induced lesion depended on the UV light exposure amount. We further succeeded in visualizing the lesioned site in a living animal using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Importantly, we also observed using an optical imaging technique that the spread of neural activation evoked by adjacent cortical stimulation disappeared only at the UV-irradiated site. In summary, UV irradiation can induce a focal brain lesion with a stable shape and size in a less invasive manner than traditional lesioning methods. This method is applicable to not only neuroscientific lesion experiments but also studies of the focal brain injury recovery process.

Effect of Ultraviolet C Irradiation on Isoflavone Concentrations in Different Cultivars of Soybean (Glycine max).

Project description:Phytoestrogens are naturally occurring plant polyphenolic compounds present in high concentrations in soybean products. Phytoestrogens are divided into three classes: lignans, isoflavones, and coumestans. Nine types of glycoside isoflavones and three types of aglycoside isoflavones are reported in soybean. Soy isoflavones can reduce the risk of a certain type of cancer, cardiovascular problems, osteoporosis, and menopausal symptoms. We irradiated the leaves of five cultivars of soybean with UV-C (260 nm) and determined the effect on concentrations of isoflavone compounds using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Isoflavone concentrations were significantly higher following irradiation, particularly in the cultivar Daepung, which was selected as the best cultivar for high isoflavone induction with UV-C irradiation. Further experimentation with the cultivar Daepung revealed that 20 min UV-C irradiation was the best treatment for the induction of aglycone compounds, and 5 min with the dorsal surface facing the UV-C irradiation source was the best treatment for the induction of glycoside isoflavone compounds.

Ultraviolet light-induced collagen degradation inhibits melanoma invasion.

Project description:Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) damages the dermis and fibroblasts; and increases melanoma incidence. Fibroblasts and their matrix contribute to cancer, so we studied how UVR modifies dermal fibroblast function, the extracellular matrix (ECM) and melanoma invasion. We confirmed UVR-damaged fibroblasts persistently upregulate collagen-cleaving matrix metalloprotein-1 (MMP1) expression, reducing local collagen (COL1A1), and COL1A1 degradation by MMP1 decreased melanoma invasion. Conversely, inhibiting ECM degradation and MMP1 expression restored melanoma invasion. Primary cutaneous melanomas of aged humans show more cancer cells invade as single cells at the invasive front of melanomas expressing and depositing more collagen, and collagen and single melanoma cell invasion are robust predictors of poor melanoma-specific survival. Thus, primary melanomas arising over collagen-degraded skin are less invasive, and reduced invasion improves survival. However, melanoma-associated fibroblasts can restore invasion by increasing collagen synthesis. Finally, high COL1A1 gene expression is a biomarker of poor outcome across a range of primary cancers.

TIAR represses c-Myc biosynthesis following ultraviolet light irradiation

Project description:RNA was isolated from material that had been subjected to immunoprecipitation (IP) from RKO cells that were either left untreated or irradiated with 20 J/m2 UVC and collected 1h later; IP assays were carried out using either an antibody recognizing RNA-binding protein TIAR, or using a control IgG1 antibody. RNA was reverse-transcribed in the presence of [alpha-33P]dCTP and the radiolabeled product used to hybridize human cDNA arrays. The experiment was repeated using three independent sample sets. The samples were numbered Tc-1, Tc-2, Tc-3, Tuv-1, Tuv-2, Tuv-3, IgG1c-1, IgG1c-2, IgG1c-3, IgG1uv-1, IgG1uv-2, and IgG1uv-3. ‘Tc’ denotes RNA from IP reactions using untreated cells and anti-TIAR antibody, ‘Tuv’ denotes RNA from IP reactions using UVC-treated cells and anti-TIAR antibody, ‘IgG1c’ denotes RNA from IP reactions using untreated cells and anti-IgG1 antibody, and ‘IgG1uv’ denotes RNA from IP reactions using UVC-treated cells and anti-IgG1 antibody. The numbers 1, 2 and 3 correspond to the three independent experimental datasets.
