Project description:Unprotected exposure to UVB radiation from the sun and the resulting DNA damage are thought to be responsible for physiological changes in the skin and for a variety of skin cancers, including basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma. Although the mutagenic effects of UVB have been well documented and studied mechanistically, there is only limited information as to whether UV light may also be responsible for inducing epigenetic changes in the genome of exposed cells. DNA methylation is a stable epigenetic modification involved in gene control. To study the effects of UVB radiation on DNA methylation, we repeatedly exposed normal human keratinocytes to a UVB light source. After a recovery period, we analyzed global DNA methylation patterns in the irradiated and control cells using the methylated-CpG island recovery assay (MIRA) method in combination with high-resolution microarrays. Bioinformatics analysis revealed only a limited number of possible differences between UVB-exposed and control cells. However, these minor apparent changes could not be independently confirmed by bisulfite sequencing-based approaches. This study reveals that UVB irradiation of keratinocytes has no recognizable global effect on DNA methylation patterns and suggests that changes in DNA methylation, as observed in skin cancers, are not immediate consequences of human exposure to solar UVB irradiation. DNA methylation analysis of control and UVB irradiated keratinocytes. The MIRA assay was used for enrichment of methylated DNA. NimbleGen CpG island plus promoter arrats were used.

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.

Project description:Purpose: to explore the function and mechanism of skin damage induced by ultraviolet irradiation. The mouse model of UVB irradiation was established. Using miRNA Sequence analysis, the miRNA expression profile of the mouse skin model exposed to UVB radiation and the normal skin mice. GO and Pathway analysis were employed for the prediction of miRNA targets. Results:Compared with normal skin, a total of 23 miRNAs were screened for significantly different expressions. Among them, 7 miRNAs were up-regulated and 16 were down-regulated in the skin wound tissue of mice exposed to UVB irradiation. The differential expression of miRNA is related to a variety of signal transduction pathways, among which mmu-miR-195a-5p and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal pathway is worthy of attention. Conclusion: There was significant difference expression of miRNA in the skin tissue of normal mice and the skin injury induced by UVB irradiation. Differential expression of miRNA can be used in the diagnosis and treatment of UVB-induced acute skin injury.

Project description:Considering that human skin cancer is predominantly attributed to UV radiation from sunlight, additional investigations are needed to elucidate the role of P2RY6 in UVB-induced skin carcinogenesis. Surprisingly, we find that P2ry6 deletion exhibits marked promotion to UVB-induced skin papilloma formation compared with wild-type mice, suggesting its tumor-suppressive role in UVB-induced skin cancer. Additionally, P2ry6 knockout promotes mouse skin hyperplasia induced by short-term UVB irradiation, while UDP, the ligand of P2RY6, can inhibit UVB-induced skin damage. Furthermore, UVB irradiation can significantly upregulate P2RY6 expression in mouse and human skin cells. These results indicate that P2RY6 plays a crucial protective role in resisting UVB-induced skin damage and carcinogenesis. At the molecular level, P2RY6 deletion inhibits ubiquitination and expression of XPC after UVB irradiation in keratinocytes, resulting in the accumulation of CPDs (cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers). P2RY6 deletion also activates PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in vitro and in vivo. The CPD accumulation and inflammatory responses enhanced by P2RY6 deletion are reversed by an AKT inhibitor. These findings suggest that P2RY6 acts as a tumor suppressor in UVB-induced skin cancer by regulating PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Project description:Exposure to UVB irradiation results in multitude of cellular responses including generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and DNA damage and is responsible for non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs). Although genetic mutation is well documented, the epi-mutation, the alteration in epigenetics, remains elusive. DNA methylation is a stable and heritable epigenetic change in the control of gene expression. Furthermore, it is unclear how the epigenomic DNA methylome would change during progression of UVB-induced carcinogenesis. In this study, we utilized CpG Methyl-seq to identify a genome-wide DNA CpG methylation, to profile the DNA methylation in ultraviolet B (UVB)-irradiated SKH-1 mouse skin epidermis and non-melanoma skin papillomas at various stages. Agilent mouse SureSelect Methyl-seq Kit was used for enrichment of about 3.3 million CpG sites in the mouse genome. Simultaneously, RNA-seq was performed to examine the corresponding transcriptome alterations. Bioinformatic analysis was utilized to identify differentially methylated and differentially expressed genes. The methylation profiles in mouse epidermis were altered by UVB-irradiation as time progresses. Comparing all epidermis samples at week-15 versus week-25, UVB had great impact on DNA methylome alteration. Examination of the differentially methylated regions (DMRs), most of the DMRs were located in the distal intragenic (>3 kb upstream of TSS or downstream of 3’ UTR) and the promoter regions. Interestingly, at week-25 the methylation profiles between the whole skin versus the tumor samples were different. Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (IPA) identified many cancer related pathways including PTEN, p53, Nrf2 and inflammatory signaling in UVB-irradiation induced carcinogenesis. Cell cycle regulation and cell growth related pathways including State3 signaling and estrogen-mediated S-phase entry were also identified. Additionally, some novel genes involved in skin carcinogenesis that were not previously reported were differentially methylated, including Enf2, Mgst2, Vegfa, and Cdk4. The methylation and expression of these genes were validated by pyrosequencing and qPCR. Taken together, the current study provides novel profiles of methylation and transcriptomic changes at different stages of carcinogenesis in UVB-irradiation induced NMSC and offer potential targets for prevention and treatment of NMSC at different stages of human skin cancer.

Project description:Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from sunlight is the major effector for skin aging and carcinogenesis. However, genes and pathways altered by solar-simulated UVR (ssUVR), a mixture of UVA and UVB, are not well characterized. Here we report global changes in gene expression as well as associated pathways and upstream transcription factors in human keratinocytes exposed to ssUVR. Human HaCaT keratinocytes were exposed to either a single dose or 5 repetitive doses of ssUVR. Comprehensive analyses of gene expression profiles as well as functional annotation were performed at 24 hours post irradiation. Our results revealed that ssUVR modulated genes with diverse cellular functions in a dose-dependent manner. Gene expression in cells exposed to a single dose of ssUVR differed significantly from those that underwent repetitive exposures. While single ssUVR caused a significant inhibition in genes involved in cell cycle progression, especially G2/M checkpoint and mitotic regulation, repetitive ssUVR lead to extensive changes in genes related to cell signaling and metabolism. We have also identified a panel of ssUVR target genes that exhibited persistent changes in gene expression even at 1 week after irradiation. These results revealed a complex network of transcriptional regulators and pathways that orchestrate the cellular response to ssUVR.

Project description:Renin-angiotensin system regulates cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and tissue remodeling in skin. Previouly, we reported that angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) expression and angiotensin II level were enhanced by repeated UVB-irradiation of hairless mice skin, and ACE inhibitor enalapril maleate accelerated recovery of UVB-induced wrinkle. In present study, we analyzed gene expression with DNA microarray and protein distribution with immunofluorecence method to clarify the process of wrinkle repairing with enalapril maleate in UVB-irradiated hairless mouse. In microarray analysis, we detected up-regulation of various extracullular matrix (ECM) genes and ECM related genes. In immunofluorescence, we confirm that type 1 collagen, fibrillin1, elastin, and dystroglycan 1 were decreased by repeated UVB-irradiation and the distribution of these components were improved by enalapril maleate treatment. In addition, ADAMTS2 and MMP-14, these were perticipate in ECM structure formation and degradation, were increased in enalapril maleate-treated mouse skin. While the functions of these molecules in skin is not clear yet, it is suggested that these molecules participate in improvement of wrinkles induced by UVB-irradiation.

Project description: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.
