UV effects in mouse melanocytes

ABSTRACT: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a major melanoma risk factor, yet underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we introduce a mouse model permitting fluorescence-aided melanocyte imaging and isolation following in vivo UV irradiation. We use expression profiling to show that activated neonatal skin melanocytes isolated following a melanomagenic UVB dose bear a distinct, persistent interferon-response signature, including genes associated with immunoevasion. UVB-induced melanocyte activation, characterized by aberrant growth and migration, was abolished by antibody-mediated systemic blockade of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), but not type-I interferons. IFN-gamma was produced by macrophages recruited to neonatal skin by UVB-induced chemokine receptor Ccr2 ligands. Admixed recruited skin macrophages enhanced transplanted melanoma growth by inhibiting apoptosis; notably, IFN-gamma blockade abolished macrophage-associated melanoma growth and survival. IFN-gamma-producing macrophages were identified in 70% of human melanomas examined. Our data reveal an unanticipated role for IFN-gamma in promoting melanocytic cell survival/immunoevasion, and suggest IFN-gamma-R signaling represents a novel therapeutic melanoma target.

Biologic replicates of UVA- and UVB-treated mouse melanocytes, as well as untreated mouse melanocytes and mouse keratinocytes, were used to define melanocyte expression signatures associated with UV treatment.

Skin Exposure to UVB Light induces a Skin-Brain-Gonad Axis and Sexual Behavior

Project description:Ultraviolet (UV) light affects endocrinological and behavioral aspects of human sexuality via an unknown mechanism. Using a unique male-female comparative approach, we discovered that the sexual behavioral and hormonal features enhanced by UVB are mediated by the skin. In mice, UV exposure increases hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis hormone levels, resulting in enhanced ovary size, extended estrus days, and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) expression. It likewise enhances the sexual responsiveness and attractiveness of females and male-female interactions of both males and females. Conditional knockout of p53 specifically in skin keratinocytes abolished UV’s effects. In humans, UV exposure enhanced romantic passion in both genders increased testosterone levels in men. Our data, revealing that UVB triggers a skin-brain-gonadal axis through skin p53 activation, offers therapeutic opportunities for sex-steroid-related dysfunctions. We speculate that during human furless skin evolution, the skin became the front-line regulator of the response to UVB.

UV Photoprotection and Long-lasting Pigmentation from UVA and/or UVB

Project description:To test whether there is a photoprotective benefit after different types of suberythemal repetitive UV, a 1.5 MED challenge dose was applied 1 week after the initial 2 weeks of repetitive irradiation. To determine what different mechanisms and/or factors might be involved in physiological pigmentary responses of the skin to different types of UV, we used whole human genome microarrays and immunohistochemical analyses to characterize human skin in situ to examine how melanocyte-specific proteins and paracrine melanogenic factors are regulated by repetitive exposure to suberythemal doses of different types of UV (UVA and/or UVB). Seven volunteers with skin type II-III were irradiated with UVA, UVB or UVA+UVB radiation for 2 weeks (5 times per week, 10 times total) after preliminary determination of their MEDs. A UVA+UVB challenge dose of 1.5X the MED was applied 1 week later. Biopsies were taken before the challenge dose, immediately after the challenge dose, 4 days after the challenge, and 15 weeks after the challenge.

Regulation of human skin pigmentation in situ by repetitive UV exposure - Molecular characterization of responses to UVA, UVB and SSR

Project description:To test the hypothesis that different mechanisms and/or factors might be involved in physiological pigmentary responses of the skin to different types of UV, we used whole human genome microarrays and immunohistochemical analyses to characterize human skin in situ to examine how melanocyte-specific proteins and paracrine melanogenic factors are regulated by repetitive exposure to suberythemal doses of different types of UV (UVA, UVB or SSR). Six volunteers with skin type II-III were irradiated with SSR, UVA or UVB radiation for 2 weeks (5 times per week, 10 times total) after preliminary determination of their MEDs. Biopsies were taken 3 days after the last irradiation.

Ultraviolet light induces HERV expression to activate RIG-I signaling pathway in keratinocytes

Project description:Skin inflammation and photosensitivity are common in lupus erythematosus (LE) patients, and Ultraviolet (UV) light is a known trigger of skin and possibly systemic inflammation in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) patients. Type I interferons (IFN) are upregulated in LE skin after UV exposure, however, the mechanisms to explain UVB-induced inflammation remain unclear. Here we performed RNA-seq to HaCat cells with UVB irradiation to characterize gene expression and resolve differential responses of keratinocytes, in order to understand how the keratinocyte response contributes to the disease. Our data showed that HERVs and RIG-I pathway were activated in keratinocytes after UVB exposure and indicate that RIG-I pathway and HERVs are involved in proinflammatory by activating the I-IFN pathway, which provide a novel insight into how UVB promotes and aggravate skin lesion of LE patients.

The early local and systemic Type I interferon responses to ultraviolet B light exposure are cGAS dependent.

Project description:Most systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients are photosensitive and ultraviolet B light (UVB) exposure worsens cutaneous disease and precipitates systemic flares of disease. The pathogenic link between skin disease and systemic exacerbations in SLE remains elusive. In an acute model of UVB-triggered inflammation, we observed that a single UV exposure triggered a striking IFN-I signature not only in the skin, but also in the blood and kidneys. The early IFN-I signature was significantly higher in female compared to male mice. The early IFN-I response in the skin was almost entirely, and in the blood partly, dependent on the presence of cGAS, as was skin inflammatory cell infiltration. Inhibition of cGAMP hydrolysis augmented the UVB-triggered IFN-I response. UVB skin exposure leads to cGAS-activation and both local and systemic IFN-I signature and could contribute to acute flares of disease in susceptible subjects such as patients with SLE.

Dynamic regulation of chromatin accessibility during melanocyte stem cell activation

Project description:We sorted melanocyte nuclei from quiescent (telogen) skin, skin actively producing hair shafts (anagen), and skin exposed to UVB. With these sorted nuclei, we then utilized single-nucleus assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (snATAC-seq) and characterized three melanocyte lineages: quiescent McSCs (qMcSCs), activated McSCs (aMcSCs), and differentiated melanocytes (dMCs) that co-exist in all three skin conditions. Furthermore, we successfully identified differentially accessible genes and enriched transcription factor binding motifs for each melanocyte lineage. Our findings reveal potential gene regulators that determine these melanocyte cell states and provide new insights into how aMcSC chromatin states are regulated differently under divergent intrinsic and extrinsic cues. We also provide a publicly available online tool with a user-friendly interface to explore this comprehensive dataset, which will provide a resource for further studies on McSC regulation upon natural or UVB-mediated stem cell activation.

Cxcl1 antagonist on UVB-induced skin inflammation leading to inhibitory effects on photo-skin tumorigensis in Xeroderma pigmentosum type A deficient mice

Project description:Xeroderma pigmentosum type A (XP-A) is a hereditary disease characterized by early onset of skin cancers development by ultraviolet (UV) exposure. Although etiology of susceptible to skin tumor of XP-A is well investigated as a repair deficiency by UV-induced DNA damage, the mechanism of unusual strong and prolonged skin inflammation caused by UV in XP-A and whether UV-induced inflammatory response relates to skin tumor-prone phenotype remains to be elucidated. Among up-regulated inflammatory response related genes in Xpa mice compared with wild-type by gene profiling study, Cxcl1 in Xpa mice was significantly different from wild-type and blood level of Cxcl1 was increased with UVB exposed on even small area of skin in Xpa mice. We administered Cxcl1 neutralizing antibody or antioxidant agent n-acetylcysteine for Xpa mice after UVB irradiation, showing that blood levels of Cxcl1, ear swelling and skin redness as an inflammatory response were significantly suppressed. Xpa mice with chronic UVB exposure and Cxcl1 neutralizing antibody or n-acetylcysteine administered Xpa mice yields much less skin tumors compared with control group. Those results indicate that highly inflammatory response of Xpa mice by UVB plays a role of skin tumor development that could be suppressed by chemokine as Cxcl1 through antioxidant mechanism.
