Abstract
The fatty acid profile of cells in culture are unlike those of natural cells with twice the monounsaturated (MUFA) and half the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) level (Mol%). This is not due to cell lines primarily being derived from cancers but is due to limited access to lipid and an inability to make PUFA de novo as vertebrate cells. Classic culture methods use media with 10% serum (the only exogenous source of lipid). Fetal bovine serum (FBS), the serum of choice has a low level of lipid and cholesterol compared to other sera and at 10% of media provides 2-3% of the fatty acid and cholesterol, 1% of the PUFA and 0.3% of the essential fatty acid linoleic acid (18:2n-6) available to cells in the body. Since vertebrate cell lines cannot make PUFA they synthesise MUFA, offsetting their PUFA deficit and reducing their fatty acid diversity. Stem and primary cells in culture appear to be similarly affected, with a rapid loss of their natural fatty acid compositions. The unnatural lipid composition of cells in culture has substantial implications for examining natural stems cell in culture, and for investigations of cellular mechanisms using cell lines based on the pervasive influence of fats.

Abstract
Solar ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation induces many responses in skin including oxidative stress, DNA damage, inflammation, and skin cancer. Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLO-S) patients show dramatically enhanced immediate (5 min) and extended (24-48 h) skin inflammation in response to low UVA doses compared to normal skin. Mutations in Delta7-dehydrocholesterol reductase, which converts 7-dehydrocholesterol to cholesterol, produces high levels of 7-dehydrocholesterol in SLO-S patient's serum. Since 7-dehydrocholesterol is more rapidly oxidized than cholesterol, we hypothesized that 7-dehydrocholesterol enhances UVA-induced oxidative stress leading to keratinocyte death and inflammation. When keratinocytes containing high 7-dehydrocholesterol and low cholesterol were exposed to UVA (10 J/cm2), eightfold greater reactive oxygen species (ROS) were produced than in normal keratinocytes after 15 min. UVA induced 7-dehydrocholesterol concentration-dependent cell death at 24 h. These responses were inhibited by antioxidants, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase inhibitor (diphenyleneiodonium) and a mitochondria-specific radical quencher. Cell death was characterized by activation of caspases-3, -8, and -9 and by phosphatidylserine translocation. Studies using antioxidants and specific caspase inhibitors indicated that activation of caspase-8, but not caspase-9, mediates ROS-dependent caspase-3 activation and suggested that ROS from NADPH oxidase activate caspase-8. These results support a ROS-mediated apoptotic mechanism for the enhanced UVA-induced inflammation in SLO-S patients.

Abstract
We sought to investigate the role of aging as a susceptibility factor for the capacity of dietary fat intake to increase the development of subretinal deposits. Mice of various ages (2, 9 and 16 months) were fed a normal diet or a diet high in saturated and unsaturated fats for a total four and a half months. Some eyes were also exposed to non-phototoxic levels of blue-green light. The outer retina and choroid were examined by light and transmission electron microscopy, and the characteristics, frequency and severity of subRPE deposits was determined. Aged mice fed normal diets developed only very mild subretinal deposits. However, many eyes of mice aged 9 months or older at the time of initiation of diet developed frequent basal laminar deposits of moderate severity, and only 16 month old mice developed more severe deposits after exposure to blue-green light. Some eyes in this older group also developed endothelial invasion into Bruch's membrane. None of the eyes developed classic drusen or linear deposits. These observations demonstrate that age increases the capacity of dietary fat, especially in the presence of environmental light, to induce subRPE deposits.

Abstract
This study analyses the expression and induction of several drug-metabolising enzyme activities involved in either phase I or phase II biotransformations in NCTC 2544 human keratinocytes. The phase I activities 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase (ECOD), 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) and 7-pentoxyresorufin O-depenthylase (PROD) were easily detectable in basal conditions. During incubations lasting up to 144 h in the presence of the classical cytochrome P450 inducers beta-naphthoflavone (BNF), 3-methylcholanthrene (MC) and phenobarbital (PB), a considerable and significant increase in all the three activities was observed. PROD activity was induced up to 4.5-fold after 96 h in the presence of PB. The MC-induced ECOD and EROD activities were also dose-dependently inhibited by alpha-naphothflavone, which was given to the cells during the incubation with CYP 1A1 inducers. Also the PB-induced PROD activity was decreased by the simultaneous addition of the CYP 2B inhibitor metyrapone. Both cytochrome P450 inhibitors were used at non-cytotoxic concentrations. The phase II enzymes glutathione S-transferase, aldehyde dehydrogenase and quinone reductase were all highly expressed and inducible by MC. The exposure (24 h) of the cells to four hair dyes used in cosmetic formulations resulted in a marked increase in ECOD activity. All data give sustained evidence for the suitability of NCTC 2544 cell line to skin toxicology studies.

Abstract
UV-A irradiation caused a dose-dependent decrease in cellular oxygen consumption (56%) and ATP content (65%) in human NCTC 2544 keratinocytes, one hour after treatment. This effect was partially reversed by maintaining the irradiated cells in normal culture conditions for 24 h. Using malate/glutamate or succinate as substrates for mitochondrial electron transport, the oxygen uptake of digitonin-permeabilised cells was greatly inhibited following UV-A exposure. These results strongly suggest that UV-A irradiation affects the state 3 respiration of the mitochondria. However, under identical conditions, UV-A exposure did not reduce the mitochondrial transmembrane potential. The antioxidant, vitamin E inhibited UV-A-induced lipid peroxidation, but did not significantly prevent the UV-A-mediated changes in cellular respiration nor the decrease in ATP content, suggesting that these effects were not the result of UV-A dependent lipid peroxidation. UV-A irradiation also led to an increase in MnSOD gene expression 24 hours after treatment, indicating that the mitochondrial protection system was enhanced in response to UV-A treatment. These findings provide evidence that impairment of mitochondrial respiratory activity is one of the early results of UV-A irradiation for light doses much lower than the minimal erythemal dose.

Abstract
A 48-h incubation of cultured human fibroblasts with 5 x 10(-5) M oleic acid or polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) from the (n-6) (linoleic, gamma-linolenic and arachidonic acids) or (n-3) (alpha-linolenic and eicosapentaenoic acids) series resulted in an enrichment of the cells with the introduced fatty acid. Cell enrichment with PUFA initiated a rise in the intracellular level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation products (thiobarbituric reactive substances TBARS). Simultaneously, cell enrichment with all the studied PUFA induced an increase in AP1 and NFkappaB binding activity measured by electrophoretic mobility shift assay, whereas no significant effect was observed with the monounsaturated oleic acid. Furthermore, the antioxidants vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) and N-acetyl cysteine prevented both the arachidonic acid-induced increase in intracellular ROS and TBARS, and the activation of AP1 and NFkappaB. These results indicate that the accumulation of PUFA from (n-6) and (n-3) series elicited an intracellular oxidative stress, resulting in the activation of oxidative stress-responsive transcription factors such as AP1 and NFkappaB.

Abstract
Chimeric epidermal reconstructs made with Negroid melanocytes and Caucasoid keratinocytes (or vice versa) were studied before and after UVB irradiation to understand the respective roles of these cells in tanning and photoprotection, especially lipoperoxidation and enzymatic defences against free radicals. Using this approach, we have confirmed overall the theory of the epidermal melanin unit. We have also shown that melanocytes of poorly tanning Caucasoids, which have a comparatively higher content of unsaturated fatty acids in their cell membrane, are more prone to the peroxidative effects of UV light, and that keratinocytes participate in photoprotection via phototype-dependent antioxidant enzyme activities, especially for catalase.

Abstract
Oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is an important feature in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. LDL modification by endothelial cells was studied after supplementation of the cells with oleic acid and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) of the n-6 and n-3 series. In terms of the lipid peroxidation product [thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS)] content and diene level of the LDL particle, oleic acid had no significant effect, and linoleic acid was poorly effective. Gamma linolenic acid (C18:3,n-6) and arachidonic acid (C20:4,n-6) increased by about 1.6-1.9-fold the cell-mediated LDL modification. PUFA from the n-3 series, alpha linolenic acid (C18:3,n-3), eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5,n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6,n-3), induced a less marked effect (1. 3-1.6-fold increase). The relative electrophoretic mobility of the LDL particle and its degradation by macrophages were enhanced in parallel. Concomitantly, PUFA stimulated superoxide anion secretion by endothelial cells. The intracellular TBARS content was also increased by PUFA. Comparison of PUFA from the two series indicates a good correlation between LDL oxidative modification, superoxide anion secretion and intracellular lipid peroxidation. The lipophilic antioxidant vitamin E decreased the basal as well as the PUFA-stimulated LDL peroxidation. These results indicate that PUFAs with a high degree of unsaturation of the n-6 and n-3 series could accelerate cell-mediated LDL peroxidation and thus aggravate the atherosclerotic process.

Abstract
We investigated the antioxidative effect of L-ascorbic acid on lipid peroxidation and on secretion and mRNA expression of IL-1alpha and IL-6 after UVA irradiation (20 J/cm2) in cultured human keratinocytes. Lipid peroxidation was measured by (i) high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection of malondialdehyde (MDA) at 256 nm and (ii) spectrometric measurement of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS). To evaluate UV-induced cytotoxicity, we assessed cell membrane damage by measuring lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release. UVA-induced lipid peroxidation in cultured human keratinocytes was inhibited by ascorbic acid in a concentration-dependent manner: MDA protein equivalent was reduced by 47% (10(-6)), compared to keratinocytes not exposed to L-ascorbic acid (p < 0.05), and the TBARS showed a concentration-dependent decrease of 49% (10(-6) M) in L-ascorbic acid-supplemented cultures compared to controls (p < 0.05). LDH release was decreased by 45% in L-ascorbic acid-supplemented keratinocyte cultures, indicating protection against cell death (p < 0.05). L-Ascorbic acid was able to downregulate IL-1alpha mRNA expression in both UVA-irradiated and nonirradiated cells; however, IL-6 mRNA expression remained unaffected. The secretion of these cytokines was reduced nearly to normal in the presence of L-ascorbic acid. These findings indicate a major cell-protective effect of L-ascorbic acid on UVA-induced lipid peroxidation and the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines by UVA-irradiated human keratinocytes.

Abstract
In order to evaluate the free radical defense systems of melanocytes and their possible correlation with melanoma, we have studied in cultured normal human melanocytes (20), normal melanocytes from melanoma patients (15), and melanoma cells (40) the fatty acid pattern of membrane phospholipids as a target of peroxidative damage and the superoxide dismutase and catalase activities, vitamin E, and ubiquinone levels as intracellular antioxidants. Cells were cultured in the same medium and analyzed at III or IV passage. Compared to the values obtained in normal human melanocytes, melanoma cells showed on average: a) higher levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids, b) increased superoxide dismutase and decreased catalase activities, higher vitamin E, and lower ubiquinone levels. Among the normal melanocytes from melanoma patients studied, two groups were differentiated: a) cultures (7) with enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants level similar to those of normal human melanocytes; b) cultures (8) with antioxidant patterns similar to those observed in melanoma cells. Polyunsaturated fatty acids were also increased in the latter group. The results indicate that in melanoma cells and in a percentage of normal melanocytes from melanoma patients, an imbalance in the antioxidant system can be detected that can lead to endogenous generation of reactive oxygen species and to cellular incapability of coping with exogenous peroxidative attacks. These alterations could be correlated with the malignant transformation of cells and with the progression of the disease.
