Induction of oxidative DNA base damage in human skin cells by UV and near visible radiation

Carcinogenesis
E Kvam, R M Tyrrell

Abstract

The premutagenic oxidative DNA base damage, 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine, is induced in human skin fibroblasts by monochromatic radiation ranging from a UVB wavelength (312 nm) up to wavelengths in the near visible (434 nm). The oxidative damage is not generated by absorption of radiation in DNA but rather by activation of photosensitizers generating genotoxic singlet oxygen species. The spectrum for the yield of the oxidative damage in confluent, non-growing, primary skin fibroblasts shows that it is UVA (above 334 nm) and near visible radiations which cause almost all of this guanine oxidation by natural sunlight in the fibroblast model. We estimate that the total amount of oxidation of guanine induced by sunlight in fibroblasts in the epidermis of the skin equals or exceeds the amount of the major type of direct DNA damage, cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers. In rapidly dividing lymphoblastoid cells, no oxidative guanine damage was induced. However, in melanoma cells almost as much damage as in non-growing fibroblasts (1.1 per 10(4) guanine bases after 1200 kJ/m2 UVA) was found. We conclude that oxidative DNA base damage can probably contribute to the induction of both non-melanoma and melanoma skin cancer by sunlight.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
