The photoreactivation of 6 - 4 photoproducts in chloroplast and nuclear DNA depends on the amount of the Arabidopsis UV repair defective 3 protein. BMC PLANT BIOLOGY 2024; 24:723. [PMID: 39080534 PMCID: PMC11287969 DOI: 10.1186/s12870-024-05439-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2024] [Indexed: 08/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND 6 - 4 photoproducts are the second most common UV-induced DNA lesions after cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers. In plants, they are mainly repaired by photolyases in a process called photoreactivation. While pyrimidine dimers can be deleterious, leading to mutagenesis or even cell death, 6 - 4 photoproducts can activate specific signaling pathways. Therefore, their removal is particularly important, especially for plants exposed to high UV intensities due to their sessile nature. Although photoreactivation in nuclear DNA is well-known, its role in plant organelles remains unclear. In this paper we analyzed the activity and localization of GFP-tagged AtUVR3, the 6 - 4 photoproduct specific photolyase. RESULTS Using transgenic Arabidopsis with different expression levels of AtUVR3, we confirmed a positive trend between these levels and the rate of 6 - 4 photoproduct removal under blue light. Measurements of 6 - 4 photoproduct levels in chloroplast and nuclear DNA of wild type, photolyase mutants, and transgenic plants overexpressing AtUVR3 showed that the photoreactivation is the main repair pathway responsible for the removal of these lesions in both organelles. The GFP-tagged AtUVR3 was predominantly located in nuclei with a small fraction present in chloroplasts and mitochondria of transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana and Nicotiana tabacum lines. In chloroplasts, this photolyase co-localized with the nucleoid marked by plastid envelope DNA binding protein. CONCLUSIONS Photolyases are mainly localized in plant nuclei, with only a small fraction present in chloroplasts and mitochondria. Despite this unbalanced distribution, photoreactivation is the primary mechanism responsible for the removal of 6 - 4 photoproducts from nuclear and chloroplast DNA in adult leaves. The amount of the AtUVR3 photolyase is the limiting factor influencing the photoreactivation rate of 6 - 4 photoproducts. The efficient photoreactivation of 6 - 4 photoproducts in 35S: AtUVR3-GFP Arabidopsis and Nicotiana tabacum is a promising starting point to evaluate whether transgenic crops overproducing this photolyase are more tolerant to high UV irradiation and how they respond to other abiotic and biotic stresses under field conditions.

Abstract
While ultraviolet (UV) radiation damages DNA, eliciting the DNA damage response (DDR), it also damages RNA, triggering transcriptome-wide ribosomal collisions and eliciting a ribotoxic stress response (RSR). However, the relative contributions, timing, and regulation of these pathways in determining cell fate is unclear. Here we use time-resolved phosphoproteomic, chemical-genetic, single-cell imaging, and biochemical approaches to create a chronological atlas of signaling events activated in cells responding to UV damage. We discover that UV-induced apoptosis is mediated by the RSR kinase ZAK and not through the DDR. We identify two negative-feedback modules that regulate ZAK-mediated apoptosis: (1) GCN2 activation limits ribosomal collisions and attenuates ZAK-mediated RSR and (2) ZAK activity leads to phosphodegron autophosphorylation and its subsequent degradation. These events tune ZAK's activity to collision levels to establish regimes of homeostasis, tolerance, and death, revealing its key role as the cellular sentinel for nucleic acid damage.

Activation of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-β/δ (PPARβ/δ) in Keratinocytes by Endogenous Fatty Acids. Biomolecules 2024; 14:606. [PMID: 38927010 PMCID: PMC11201440 DOI: 10.3390/biom14060606] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2024] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Nuclear hormone receptors exist in dynamic equilibrium between transcriptionally active and inactive complexes dependent on interactions with ligands, proteins, and chromatin. The present studies examined the hypothesis that endogenous ligands activate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-β/δ (PPARβ/δ) in keratinocytes. The phorbol ester treatment or HRAS infection of primary keratinocytes increased fatty acids that were associated with enhanced PPARβ/δ activity. Fatty acids caused PPARβ/δ-dependent increases in chromatin occupancy and the expression of angiopoietin-like protein 4 (Angptl4) mRNA. Analyses demonstrated that stearoyl Co-A desaturase 1 (Scd1) mediates an increase in intracellular monounsaturated fatty acids in keratinocytes that act as PPARβ/δ ligands. The activation of PPARβ/δ with palmitoleic or oleic acid causes arrest at the G2/M phase of the cell cycle of HRAS-expressing keratinocytes that is not found in similarly treated HRAS-expressing Pparb/d-null keratinocytes. HRAS-expressing Scd1-null mouse keratinocytes exhibit enhanced cell proliferation, an effect that is mitigated by treatment with palmitoleic or oleic acid. Consistent with these findings, the ligand activation of PPARβ/δ with GW0742 or oleic acid prevented UVB-induced non-melanoma skin carcinogenesis, an effect that required PPARβ/δ. The results from these studies demonstrate that PPARβ/δ has endogenous roles in keratinocytes and can be activated by lipids found in diet and cellular components.

Abstract
DNA replication stress, caused by various endogenous and exogenous agents, halt or stall DNA replication progression. Cells have developed diverse mechanisms to tolerate and overcome replication stress, enabling them to continue replication. One effective strategy to overcome stalled replication involves skipping the DNA lesion using a specialized polymerase known as PrimPol, which reinitiates DNA synthesis downstream of the damage. However, the mechanism regulating PrimPol repriming is largely unclear. In this study, we observe that knockdown of STN1 or CTC1, components of the CTC1/STN1/TEN1 complex, leads to enhanced replication progression following UV exposure. We find that such increased replication is dependent on PrimPol, and PrimPol recruitment to stalled forks increases upon CST depletion. Moreover, we find that p21 is upregulated in STN1-depleted cells in a p53-independent manner, and p21 depletion restores normal replication rates caused by STN1 deficiency. We identify that p21 interacts with PrimPol, and STN1 depletion stimulates p21-PrimPol interaction and facilitates PrimPol recruitment to stalled forks. Our findings reveal a previously undescribed interplay between CST, PrimPol and p21 in promoting repriming in response to stalled replication, and shed light on the regulation of PrimPol repriming at stalled forks.

Abstract
Four dinucleotide analogs of thymidylyl(3'-5')thymidine (TpT) have been designed and synthesized with a view to increase the selectivity, with respect to CPD, of efficient UV-induced (6-4) photoproduct formation. The deoxyribose residues of these analogs have been modified to increase north and south conformer populations at 5'- and 3'-ends, respectively. Dinucleotides whose 5'-end north population exceeds ca. 60% and whose 3'-end population is almost completely south display a three-fold selective enhancement in (6-4) adduct production when exposed to UV radiation, compared to TpT. These experimental results undoubtedly provide robust foundations for studying the singular ground-state proreactive species involved in the (6-4) photoproduct formation mechanism.

Abstract
Homologous recombination (HR) and nucleotide excision repair (NER) are the two most frequently disabled DNA repair pathways in cancer. HR-deficient breast, ovarian, pancreatic and prostate cancers respond well to platinum chemotherapy and PARP inhibitors. However, the frequency of HR deficiency in gastric and esophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA) still lacks diagnostic and functional validation. Using whole exome and genome sequencing data, we found that a significant subset of GEA, but very few colorectal adenocarcinomas, show evidence of HR deficiency by mutational signature analysis (HRD score). High HRD gastric cancer cell lines demonstrated functional HR deficiency by RAD51 foci assay and increased sensitivity to platinum chemotherapy and PARP inhibitors. Of clinical relevance, analysis of three different GEA patient cohorts demonstrated that platinum treated HR deficient cancers had better outcomes. A gastric cancer cell line with strong sensitivity to cisplatin showed HR proficiency but exhibited NER deficiency by two photoproduct repair assays. Single-cell RNA-sequencing revealed that, in addition to inducing apoptosis, cisplatin treatment triggered ferroptosis in a NER-deficient gastric cancer, validated by intracellular GSH assay. Overall, our study provides preclinical evidence that a subset of GEAs harbor genomic features of HR and NER deficiency and may therefore benefit from platinum chemotherapy and PARP inhibitors.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is essential for neutrophil extracellular trap formation (NETosis), and generated either by NADPH oxidases (e.g., during infections) or mitochondria (e.g., sterile injury) in neutrophils. We recently showed that ultraviolet (UV) radiation, a sterile injury-inducing agent, dose-dependently induced mitochondrial ROS generation, and increasing levels of ROS shifted the neutrophil death from apoptosis to NETosis. Nevertheless, how ROS executes UV-induced NETosis is unknown. In this study, we first confirmed that UV doses used in our experiments generated mitochondrial ROS, and the inhibition of mitochondrial ROS suppressed NETosis (Mitosox, SYTOX, immunocytochemistry, imaging). Next, we showed that UV irradiation extensively oxidized DNA, by confocal imaging of 8-oxyguanine (8-oxoG) in NETs. Immunofluorescence microscopy further showed that a DNA repair protein, proliferating cell nuclear antigen, was widely distributed throughout the DNA, indicating that the DNA repair machinery was active throughout the genome during UV-induced NETosis. Inhibition of specific steps of base excision repair (BER) pathway showed that steps leading up to DNA nick formation, but not the later steps, suppressed UV-induced NETosis. In summary, this study shows that (i) high levels of mitochondrial ROS produced following UV irradiation induces extensive oxidative DNA damage, and (ii) early steps of the BER pathway leading to DNA nicking results in chromatin decondensation and NETosis. Collectively, these findings reveal how ROS induces NOX-independent NETosis, and also a novel biological mechanism for UV irradiation- and -mitochondrial ROS-mediated NETosis.

Abstract
Machine learning is transforming the field of histopathology. Especially in classification related tasks, there have been many successful applications of deep learning already. Yet, in tasks that rely on regression and many niche applications, the domain lacks cohesive procedures that are adapted to the learning processes of neural networks. In this work, we investigate cell damage in whole slide images of the epidermis. A common way for pathologists to annotate a score, characterizing the degree of damage for these samples, is the ratio between healthy and unhealthy nuclei. The annotation procedure of these scores, however, is expensive and prone to be noisy among pathologists. We propose a new measure of damage, that is the total area of damage, relative to the total area of the epidermis. In this work, we present results of regression and segmentation models, predicting both scores on a curated and public dataset. We have acquired the dataset in collaborative efforts with medical professionals. Our study resulted in a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed damage metrics in the epidermis, with recommendations, emphasizing practical relevance for real world applications.

Targeting the DNA damage response for cancer therapy. Biochem Soc Trans 2023; 51:207-221.

Abstract
The DNA damage response (DDR) is an elegant system, coordinating DNA repair with cell cycle checkpoints, that evolved to protect living organisms from the otherwise fatal levels of DNA damage inflicted by endogenous and environmental sources. Since many agents used to treat cancer; radiotherapy and cytotoxic chemotherapy, work by damaging DNA the DDR represents a mechanism of resistance. The original rational for the development of drugs to inhibit the DDR was to overcome this mechanism of resistance but clinical studies using this approach have not led to improvements in the therapeutic index. A more exciting approach is to exploit cancer-specific defects in the DDR, that represent vulnerabilities in the tumour and an opportunity to selectively target the tumour. PARP inhibitors (PARPi) selectively kill homologous recombination repair defective (HRD, e.g. through BRCA mutation) cells. This approach has proven successful clinically and there are now six PARPi approved for cancer therapy. Drugs targeting other aspects of the DDR are under pre-clinical and clinical evaluation as monotherapy agents and in combination studies. For this promising approach to cancer therapy to be fully realised reliable biomarkers are needed to identify tumours with the exploitable defect for monotherapy applications. The possibility that some combinations may result in toxicity to normal tissues also needs to be considered. A brief overview of the DDR, the development of inhibitors targeting the DDR and the current clinical status of such drugs is described here.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Lignosus rhinocerus, also known as Tiger Milk Mushroom has been used traditionally to treat a variety of human conditions, including asthma, diabetes, respiratory disease, skin allergy, and food poisoning. The reported activities of Lignosus rhinocerus extracts include anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-asthmatic, anti-microbial, anti-cancer, neuroprotection, and immune modulation effects. However, its effect on human skin is not well documented, including human skin exposed to ultraviolet light (UV). Exposure to UV can trigger various cellular responses, including inflammation, oxidative stress, DNA damage, cell death, and cellular aging. AIM OF THE STUDY The study aims to investigate the effects of methanolic extract prepared from cultured Lignosus rhinocerus (herein referred to as TM02 and its methanol extract as TM02-ME) on UV-irradiated human keratinocytes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Powdered stock of TM02 was dissolved and sequentially extracted with different solvents to prepare the extracts and the methanol extract was subsequently characterized based on its bio-activities on HaCaT human keratinocytes. The keratinocytes were pre-treated with the methanol extract followed by UV-irradiation. Cellular responses of the HaCaT cells such as cell viability, DNA damage, as well as gene and protein expressions that were responsive to the treatments, were characterized by using bio-assays, including reverse-transcription based PCR, Western blot, cell viability, and mitochondrial Cytochrome C release assays. RESULTS TM02-ME protected HaCaT cells from UV-induced DNA damage and cell death in a dose-dependent manner. Pre-treatment of HaCaT cells with TM02-ME led to a 39% reduction of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD) and up-regulated the gene expression of REV1 and SPINK5 in UVB-irradiated HaCaT cells when compared to the control. In addition, TM-02-ME treated HaCaT cells increased the expression of BCL-XL and BCL-2 proteins which coincided with the down-regulation of mitochondrial Cyt. C release in the UV-B irradiated HaCaT cells. The results were further supported by data that showed the stable clones of HaCaT cells stably expressed BCL-XL were resistant to UVB-induced cell death. CONCLUSIONS __The results showed that TM02-ME confers photoprotective activities to UVB-irradiated HaCaT cells, leading to a reduction in DNA damage and cell death as well as up-regulated the expression of REV1 and SPINK5 which are involved in DNA repair and skin barrier function, respectively. The up-regulation of pro-survival members of the BCL-2 family by TM02-ME confers protection against UVB-induced cell death.

Abstract
Solar ultraviolet radiation (UV) can cause DNA damage in microorganisms. Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) is a structure-specific nuclease and plays important roles in DNA replication and repair. At present, the properties and functions of FEN1 have not been characterized in detail in invertebrates such as Bombyx mori. In this study, Bombyx mori FEN1 (BmFEN1) was expressed in E. coli, and was shown to have nuclease activity that nonspecifically cleaved DNA in vitro. However, inside the cell, BmFEN1 did not cleave DNA randomly. Truncated BmFEN1 missing the nuclear localization signal (346-380 aa) still had the nuclease activity, but was no longer precisely localized to the sites of UV-induced DNA damage. It was further found that BmFEN1 favored the faster repair of UV-damaged DNA. The present study will provide a reference for further understanding the functions of BmFEN1 and UV-induced DNA damage repair mechanisms in insects.

Abstract
BackgroundDue to the increase in multidrug-resistant pathogens, it is important to investigate further antimicrobial options. In order not to have to work directly with pathogens, the investigation of possible surrogates is an important aspect. It is examined how suitable possible surrogate candidates for ESKAPE pathogens are for UVC applications. In addition, the inactivation sensitivities to 222 and 254 nm radiation are compared in relation.MethodsNon-pathogenic members (Enterococcus mundtii, Staphylococcus carnosus, Acinetobacter kookii, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Escherichia coli) of genera of ESKAPE strains were photoinactivated in PBS with irradiation wavelengths of 222 and 254 nm (no non-pathogenic Klebsiella was available). Log reduction doses were determined and compared to published photoinactivation results on ESKAPE pathogens. It was assumed that non-pathogenic bacteria could be designated as surrogates for one wavelength and one ESKAPE strain, if the doses were between the 25 and 75% quantiles of published log reduction dose of the corresponding pathogen.ResultsFor all non-pathogen relatives (except A. kookii), higher average log reduction doses were required for irradiation at 222 nm than at 254 nm. Comparison by boxplot revealed that five of eight determined log reduction doses of the possible surrogates were within the 25 and 75% quantiles of the data for ESKAPE pathogens. The measured log reduction dose for non-pathogenic E. coli was above the 75% quantile at 222 nm, and the log reduction dose for S. carnosus was below the 25% quantile at 254 nm.ConclusionFor more than half of the studied cases, the examined ESKAPE relatives in this study can be applied as surrogates for ESKAPE pathogens. Because of lack of data, no clear statement could be made for Enterococcus faecalis at 222 nm and Acinetobacter baumannii at both wavelengths.

Photorepair of Either CPD or 6-4PP DNA Lesions in Basal Keratinocytes Attenuates Ultraviolet-Induced Skin Effects in Nucleotide Excision Repair Deficient Mice. Front Immunol 2022; 13:800606. [PMID: 35422806 PMCID: PMC9004445 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.800606] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2021] [Accepted: 02/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is one of the most genotoxic, universal agents present in the environment. UVB (280-315 nm) radiation directly damages DNA, producing cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and pyrimidine 6-4 pyrimidone photoproducts (6-4PPs). These photolesions interfere with essential cellular processes by blocking transcription and replication polymerases, and may induce skin inflammation, hyperplasia and cell death eventually contributing to skin aging, effects mediated mainly by keratinocytes. Additionally, these lesions may also induce mutations and thereby cause skin cancer. Photolesions are repaired by the Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) pathway, responsible for repairing bulky DNA lesions. Both types of photolesions can also be repaired by distinct (CPD- or 6-4PP-) photolyases, enzymes that specifically repair their respective photolesion by directly splitting each dimer through a light-dependent process termed photoreactivation. However, as photolyases are absent in placental mammals, these organisms depend solely on NER for the repair of DNA UV lesions. However, the individual contribution of each UV dimer in the skin effects, as well as the role of keratinocytes has remained elusive. In this study, we show that in NER-deficient mice, the transgenic expression and photorepair of CPD-photolyase in basal keratinocytes completely inhibited UVB-induced epidermal thickness and cell proliferation. On the other hand, photorepair by 6-4PP-photolyase in keratinocytes reduced but did not abrogate these UV-induced effects. The photolyase mediated removal of either CPDs or 6-4PPs from basal keratinocytes in the skin also reduced UVB-induced apoptosis, ICAM-1 expression, and myeloperoxidase activation. These findings indicate that, in NER-deficient rodents, both types of photolesions have causal roles in UVB-induced epidermal cell proliferation, hyperplasia, cell death and inflammation. Furthermore, these findings also support the notion that basal keratinocytes, instead of other skin cells, are the major cellular mediators of these UVB-induced effects.

Abstract
Transcription-coupled DNA repair (TCR) is presumed to be a minor sub-pathway of nucleotide excision repair (NER) in bacteria. Global genomic repair is thought to perform the bulk of repair independently of transcription. TCR is also believed to be mediated exclusively by Mfd-a DNA translocase of a marginal NER phenotype1-3. Here we combined in cellulo cross-linking mass spectrometry with structural, biochemical and genetic approaches to map the interactions within the TCR complex (TCRC) and to determine the actual sequence of events that leads to NER in vivo. We show that RNA polymerase (RNAP) serves as the primary sensor of DNA damage and acts as a platform for the recruitment of NER enzymes. UvrA and UvrD associate with RNAP continuously, forming a surveillance pre-TCRC. In response to DNA damage, pre-TCRC recruits a second UvrD monomer to form a helicase-competent UvrD dimer that promotes backtracking of the TCRC. The weakening of UvrD-RNAP interactions renders cells sensitive to genotoxic stress. TCRC then recruits a second UvrA molecule and UvrB to initiate the repair process. Contrary to the conventional view, we show that TCR accounts for the vast majority of chromosomal repair events; that is, TCR thoroughly dominates over global genomic repair. We also show that TCR is largely independent of Mfd. We propose that Mfd has an indirect role in this process: it participates in removing obstructive RNAPs in front of TCRCs and also in recovering TCRCs from backtracking after repair has been completed.

Abstract
Some amount of furanose in a southern conformation, possibly in both, but certainly in one of the two adjacent nucleotides of a dipyrimidine site, is necessary for (6-4) photoproduct formation in oligonucleotides. To explore the necessity, role, and most favorable location of each South sugar conformer in the formation of the (6-4) adduct in the thymine dinucleotide TpT, the photochemical behavior of two synthetic analogues, in which the South sugar conformation is prohibited for one of their two sugars, has been examined. Herein, we experimentally demonstrate that the presence of one sugar presenting some amount of South puckering, at any of the extremities, is sufficient to trigger (6-4) adduct formation. Nonetheless, the photochemical behavior of the dinucleotide with a South-puckered conformation at the 5'-end, mimics more closely that of TpT. In addition, using the 5' North 3' South-dilocked dinucleotide, we demonstrate that the flexibility of the South pucker at the 3'-end has little influence on the (6-4) adduct formation.

Abstract
The unfolded protein response is activated by UVB irradiation, but the role of a key mediator, IRE1α, is not clear. In this study, we show that mice with an epidermal IRE1α deletion are sensitized to UV with increased apoptosis, rapid loss of UV-induced cyclopyrimidine dimer‒positive keratinocytes, and sloughing of the epidermis. In vitro, Ire1α-deficient keratinocytes have increased UVB sensitivity, reduced cyclopyrimidine dimer repair, and reduced accumulation of γH2AX and phosphorylated ATR, suggesting defective activation of nucleotide excision repair. Knockdown of XBP1 or pharmacologic inhibition of the IRE1α ribonuclease did not phenocopy Ire1α deficiency. The altered UV response was linked to elevated intracellular calcium levels and ROS, and this was due to dysregulation of the endoplasmic reticulum calcium channel InsP3R. Pharmacologic, genetic, and biochemical studies linked the regulation of the Ins3PR, intracellular calcium, and normal UV DNA damage response to CIB1 and the IRE1α‒TRAF2‒ASK1 complex. These results suggest a model where IRE1α activation state drives CIB1 binding either to the InsP3R or ASK1 to regulate endoplasmic reticulum calcium efflux, ROS, and DNA repair responses after UV irradiation.

Abstract
UV-based phototherapy (including psoralen plus UVA (PUVA), UVB and UVA1) has a long, successful history in the management of numerous cutaneous disorders. Photoresponsive diseases are etiologically diverse, but most involve disturbances in local (and occasionally systemic) inflammatory cells and/or abnormalities in keratinocytes that trigger inflammation. UV-based phototherapy works by regulating the inflammatory component and inducing apoptosis of pathogenic cells. This results in a fascinating and complex network of simultaneous events-immediate transcriptional changes in keratinocytes, immune cells, and pigment cells; the emergence of apoptotic bodies; and the trafficking of antigen-presenting cells in skin-that quickly transform the microenvironment of UV-exposed skin. Molecular elements in this system of UV recognition and response include chromophores, metabolic byproducts, innate immune receptors, neurotransmitters and mediators such as chemokines and cytokines, antimicrobial peptides, and platelet activating factor (PAF) and PAF-like molecules that simultaneously shape the immunomodulatory effects of UV and their interplay with the microbiota of the skin and beyond. Phototherapy's key effects-proapoptotic, immunomodulatory, antipruritic, antifibrotic, propigmentary, and pro-prebiotic-promote clinical improvement in various skin diseases such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis (AD), graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), vitiligo, scleroderma, and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) as well as prevention of polymorphic light eruption (PLE). As understanding of phototherapy improves, new therapies (UV- and non-UV-based) are being developed that will modify regulatory T-cells (Treg), interact with (resident) memory T-cells and /or utilize agonists and antagonists as well as antibodies targeting soluble molecules such as cytokines and chemokines, transcription factors, and a variety of membrane-associated receptors.

Cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers from UVB exposure induce a hypermetabolic state in keratinocytes via mitochondrial oxidative stress. Redox Biol 2020; 38:101808. [PMID: 33264701 PMCID: PMC7708942 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2020.101808] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2020] [Revised: 11/16/2020] [Accepted: 11/19/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
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.

Abstract
Although solar light is indispensable for the functioning of plants, this environmental factor may also cause damage to living cells. Apart from the visible range, including wavelengths used in photosynthesis, the ultraviolet (UV) light present in solar irradiation reaches the Earth's surface. The high energy of UV causes damage to many cellular components, with DNA as one of the targets. Putting together the puzzle-like elements responsible for the repair of UV-induced DNA damage is of special importance in understanding how plants ensure the stability of their genomes between generations. In this review, we have presented the information on DNA damage produced under UV with a special focus on the pyrimidine dimers formed between the neighboring pyrimidines in a DNA strand. These dimers are highly mutagenic and cytotoxic, thus their repair is essential for the maintenance of suitable genetic information. In prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, with the exception of placental mammals, this is achieved by means of highly efficient photorepair, dependent on blue/UVA light, which is performed by specialized enzymes known as photolyases. Photolyase properties, as well as their structure, specificity and action mechanism, have been briefly discussed in this paper. Additionally, the main gaps in our knowledge on the functioning of light repair in plant organelles, its regulation and its interaction between different DNA repair systems in plants have been highlighted.
