Abstract
Photobiological effects are known to greatly depend on the wavelength of the incident photons that define the nature of the activated chromophores. A growing number of experimental data show that considering the effect of complex light sources as a sum of the effects of monochromatic exposures can be misleading. Indeed, the combined exposure to several wavelength ranges may modulate photobiological responses or even induce novel processes. These observations are similar to a well-known topic in chemical toxicology: the nonadditivity of effects in mixtures where either antagonism or synergy are often observed. In the present work, we investigated whether a data analysis tool first developed for studying nonadditivity in mixtures of drugs, the combination index, could be applied to photobiological processes. We chose to work on the formation of UV-induced DNA photoproducts where additive, antagonist, and synergistic effects take place simultaneously. In addition to this application, we worked on the mathematical bases of the concept in order to broaden its applicability to phenomena exhibiting various dose-response patterns. We also addressed the question of the evaluation of the error on the determination of the combination index.

Abstract
UV-induced DNA damage plays a key role in the initiation phase of skin cancer. When left unrepaired or when damaged cells are not eliminated by apoptosis, DNA lesions express their mutagneic properties, leading to the activation of proto-oncogene or the inactivation of tumor suppression genes. The chemical nature and the amount of DNA damage strongly depend on the wavelength of the incident photons. The most energetic part of the solar spectrum at the Earth's surface (UVB, 280-320 nm) leads to the formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone photoproducts (64PPs). Less energetic but 20-times more intense UVA (320-400 nm) also induces the formation of CPDs together with a wide variety of oxidatively generated lesions such as single strand breaks and oxidized bases. Among those, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoGua) is the most frequent since it can be produced by several mechanisms. Data available on the respective yield of DNA photoproducts in cells and skin show that exposure to sunlight mostly induces pyrimidine dimers, which explains the mutational signature found in skin tumors, with lower amounts of 8-oxoGua and strand breaks. The present review aims at describing the basic photochemistry of DNA and discussing the quantitative formation of the different UV-induced DNA lesions reported in the literature. Additional information on mutagenesis, repair and photoprotection is briefly provided.

Mitotic regulator Nlp interacts with XPA/ERCC1 complexes and regulates nucleotide excision repair (NER) in response to UV radiation. Cancer Lett 2016; 373:214-21.

Abstract
Cellular response to DNA damage, including ionizing radiation (IR) and UV radiation, is critical for the maintenance of genomic fidelity. Defects of DNA repair often result in genomic instability and malignant cell transformation. Centrosomal protein Nlp (ninein-like protein) has been characterized as an important cell cycle regulator that is required for proper mitotic progression. In this study, we demonstrate that Nlp is able to improve nucleotide excision repair (NER) activity and protects cells against UV radiation. Upon exposure of cells to UVC, Nlp is translocated into the nucleus. The C-terminus (1030-1382) of Nlp is necessary and sufficient for its nuclear import. Upon UVC radiation, Nlp interacts with XPA and ERCC1, and enhances their association. Interestingly, down-regulated expression of Nlp is found to be associated with human skin cancers, indicating that dysregulated Nlp might be related to the development of human skin cancers. Taken together, this study identifies mitotic protein Nlp as a new and important member of NER pathway and thus provides novel insights into understanding of regulatory machinery involved in NER.

Abstract
UV-induced DNA damage is the main initiating event in solar carcinogenesis. UV radiation is known to induce pyrimidine dimers in DNA, including cyclobutane dimers and (6-4) photoproducts which have been extensively studied. In contrast, much less attention has been paid to Dewar valence isomers, the photoisomerisation product of (6-4) photoproducts. Yet, the available data show that Dewar isomers can be produced by exposure to sunlight and may lead to mutations. Dewars are thus environmentally and biologically relevant. The present review summarizes currently available information on the formation, mutagenic properties and repair of this class of UV-induced DNA damage.

Abstract
This review chapter presents a critical survey of the main available information on the UVB and UVA bipyrimidine photoproducts which constitute the predominant recipient classes of photo-induced DNA damage. Evidence is provided that UVB irradiation of isolated DNA in aqueous solutions and in cells gives rise to the predominant generation of cis-syn cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and, to a lesser extent, of pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone photoproducts (6-4PPs), the importance of which is strongly primary sequence dependent. A notable change in the photoproduct distribution is observed when DNA either in the dry or in desiccated microorganisms is exposed to UVC or UVB photons with an overwhelming formation of 5-(α-thymidyl)-5,6-dihydrothymidine, also called spore photoproduct (dSP), at the expense of CPDs and 6-4PPs. UVA irradiation of isolated and cellular DNA gives rise predominantly to bipyrimidine photoproducts with the overwhelming formation of thymine-containing cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers at the exclusion of 6-4PPs. UVA photons have been shown to modulate the distribution of UVB dimeric pyrimidine photoproducts by triggering isomerization of the 6-4PPs into related Dewar valence isomers. Mechanistic aspects of the formation of bipyrimidine photoproducts are discussed in the light of recent photophysical and theoretical studies.

Abstract
Induction of pyrimidine dimers in DNA by solar UV radiation has drastic effects on microorganisms. To better define the nature of these DNA photoproducts in marine bacterioplankton and eukaryotes, a study was performed during a cruise along a latitudinal transect in the Pacific Ocean. The frequency of all possible cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers, pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone photoproducts (64PPs) and their related Dewar valence isomers (DEWs) was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Studied samples were bacterioplankton and eukaryotic fractions isolated from sea water either collected before sunrise or exposed to ambient sunlight from sunrise to sunset. Isolated DNA dosimeters were also exposed to daily sunlight for comparison purposes. A first major result was the observation in all samples of large amounts of DEWs, a class of photoproducts rarely considered outside photochemical studies. Evidence was obtained for a major role of UVA in the formation of these photoisomerization products of 64PPs. Considerations on the ratio between the different classes of photoproducts in basal and induced DNA damage suggests that photoenzymatic repair (PER) is an important DNA repair mechanism used by marine microorganisms occupying surface seawater in the open ocean. This result emphasizes the biological role of DEWs which are very poor substrate for PER.

Abstract
Exposure to UVB results in formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and 6-4 photoproducts in DNA. These can be quantified by a variety of techniques including alkaline gel electrophoresis, ELISAs, Southwestern blotting, and immunohistochemistry. Damage to DNA results in activation of damage response pathways, as indicated by Western blotting using antibodies specific for p53 and breast cancer-associated gene 1 (BRCA1) phosphorylation. The signal from DNA damage to activation of these response pathways appears to be mediated by FKBP12-rapamycin-associated protein (FRAP), since these phosphorylation events are blocked by rapamycin. UVB-induced DNA damage also leads to induction of immunosuppressive cytokines including tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin (IL)-10 in skin. Induction of TNF-alpha by UVB is readily detectable in cultured normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs) using ELISA, while induction of IL-10 is readily detectable in cultured mouse keratinocytes but not in NHEKs. Induction of DNA damage by liposome-encapsulated HindIII results in induction of immunosuppressive responses similar to UVB. Clinical testing shows that liposome-encapsulated T4 endonuclease V or photolyase stimulates repair of CPDs in the skin of human subjects, and prevents UVB-induced immunosuppression. Stimulation of repair and prevention of immunosuppression have been linked to prevention of skin cancer by liposome-encapsulated T4 endonuclease V in repair-deficient xeroderma pigmentosum patients.

Abstract
p53 mutation is one of the major results of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV photoproducts of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and pyrimidine-pyrimidone (6-4) photoproducts (64PPs) also play an important role in skin cancer development. Atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX), which mimics malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) histologically, occurs in the sun-exposed skin of the elderly, and therefore, an association with UV has long been suspected. Eighteen fibrohistiocytic skin lesions comprising AFX (n = 7), storiform-pleomorphic type MFH centered in the subcutis (superficial MFH; S-MFH; n = 4) and benign fibrous histiocytoma (BFH; n = 7) were used for immunohistochemical and molecular analysis. Eight cases of deep MFH (D-MFH) were also analyzed for UV photoproduct expression for the purposes of comparison. Immunohistochemically, the CPD scores of AFX (3.6 +/- 0.4) were significantly higher than those of S-MFH (1.3 +/- 0.8), D-MFH (0.8 +/- 0.5), or BHF (1.4 +/- 0.7); however, the 64PP scores were extremely low in all these tumors (AFX, 0.1 +/- 0.1; S-MFH, 0.0 +/- 0.0; D-MFH, 0.0 +/- 0.0; and BHF, 0.0 +/- 0.0). AFX, S-MFH, and BFH showed immunoexpression for p53 (2/7, 2/4, and 0/7), respectively. p53 mutations were detected in AFX (4/6; 67%) and S-MFH (1/4; 25%), but not in BFH (0/5; 0%) using polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism, and all of the mutations in AFX were either C-T transitions or at dipyrimidine sites. In conclusion, AFX and S-MFH are both similar fibrohistocytic lesions; however, AFX has high immunoreactivity for CPDs compared with S-MFH, D-MFH, or BFH. These data suggest that CPDs may play an important role in the pathogenesis of AFX.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is mutagenic and induces specific DNA lesions in human skin that are often found at dipyrimidine sites. These photoproducts are likely to be biologically relevant regarding skin carcinogenesis, as p53 mutations in skin tumours are most often found at these UV radiation-specific sites within DNA. Psoriasis patients receiving long-term phototherapy are at an increased risk of non-melanoma skin cancers. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to quantify DNA photoproducts in human epidermis in vivo following consecutive doses of UVB and to investigate variations in DNA damage according to skin type, UVB dose and age. METHODS Eleven psoriasis patients receiving UVB phototherapy three times a week were recruited and underwent skin biopsies on a non-sun-exposed site before starting phototherapy and after three, nine and 18 UVB exposures. A biopsy was also taken at least 4 weeks after stopping phototherapy. DNA was extracted from separated epidermis and three types of photoproducts were quantified using a novel 32P high-performance liquid chromatographic technique. RESULTS The mean level of cyclobutane dipyrimidine dimers (CPDs) after three doses of UVB (dose range 0.03-0.15 J cm-2) was 3.2 (range 0.8-8.9) photoproducts per 106 normal nucleotides for TT=T dimers and 4.5 (range 0-14) per 106 normal nucleotides for TT=C dimers. The mean levels of TT-C 6-4 photoproducts after three doses of UVB were very low (0.2, range 0-1.8). Overall, the levels of TT=T and TT=C reached a plateau at three exposures and were found to decrease for subsequent exposures despite increasing UVB doses. Skin type was negatively associated with mean levels of CPDs. However, significant differences in levels of photoproducts were seen between individuals, even after adjusting for skin type. No association was found between challenge dose of UVB and photoproduct yield in this study. CONCLUSIONS This study showed a great individual variation in the accumulation of DNA photoproducts following exposure to repetitive doses of UVB. Photoadaptive responses of human skin involving DNA repair, tanning and epidermal thickening are likely to explain the overall lack of increase in DNA lesions throughout phototherapy. This in vivo study confirms that psoriasis patients produce a significant amount of DNA photolesions at suberythemal doses of UVB. Further work is needed to investigate which host factors are most likely to predict susceptibility to UV radiation-induced DNA damage.

Abstract
The mutagenic effects of ultraviolet and solar irradiation are thought to be due to the formation of DNA photoproducts, most notably cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone photoproducts ((6-4)PPs). Experimental systems for determining the levels and sequence dependence of photoproduct formation in DNA have often used high doses of short-wave (UVC) irradiation. We have re-assessed this issue by using DNA sequencing technologies and different doses of UVC as well as more physiologically relevant doses of solar irradiation emitted from a solar UV simulator. It has been questioned whether hot alkali treatment can detect (6-4)PPs at all sequence positions. With high UVC doses, the sequence distribution of (6-4)PPs was virtually identical when hot alkali or UV damage endonuclease (UVDE) were used for detection, which appears to validate both methods. The (6-4)PPs form at 5'-TpC and 5'CpC sequences but very low levels are seen at all other dipyrimidines including 5'-TpT. Contrary to expectation, we find that (6-4) photoproducts form at almost undetectable levels under conditions of irradiation for up to five hours with the solar UV simulator. The same treatment produces high levels of CPDs. In addition, DNA glycosylases, which recognize oxidized and ring-opened bases, did not produce significant cleavage of sunlight-irradiated DNA. From these data, we conclude that cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers are at least 20 to 40 times more frequent than any other DNA photoproduct when DNA or cells are irradiated with simulated sunlight.

Abstract
We previously developed a highly sensitive method to assess in situ repair kinetics of ultraviolet (UV)-induced DNA photoproducts in epidermal cells using monoclonal antibodies specific for cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and pyrimidine-pyrimidone (6-4) photoproducts (64PPs) by immunohistochemistry. In order to determine whether nucleotide excision repair capacity is operative in postmitotic mature neurons, brain surfaces of adult mice were exposed to UVB, and induction and removal of CPDs and 64PPs in Purkinje cell DNA were assessed immunohistochemically. UVB penetrated brain tissue to a depth sufficient to allow quantitative study. CPDs but not 64PPs were clearly detectable in the nuclei of Purkinje cells at doses >500 J/m2, in a dose-dependent manner. A time course experiment showed a statistically significant decrease of CPDs with time after irradiation. Although there was no apparent removal on Day 1, about half of CPDs were removed within 5 days, and the repair was essentially completed by Day 10. We conclude that non-dividing cerebellar neuronal cells can indeed repair UV-induced DNA damage, but with relatively low efficiency as compared with dividing epidermal cells.

Abstract
Two major ultraviolet-induced photolesions of TpT, a (6-4) photoproduct [T(6-4)T] and a cis-syn cyclobutane TT dimer (T=T), were incorporated into a predetermined site of one of the leading and lagging template strands of a double-stranded vector, and the modified DNAs were transfected into simian COS-7 cells. The DNAs replicated in the cells were recovered and were transfected again into Escherichia coli. The DNA replication efficiencies of plasmids containing T(6-4)T and T=T in the template strand for lagging strand synthesis were 93 and 79%, respectively, as compared with the unmodified DNA. Similar inhibitory effects were observed in the cases of the photoproducts in the template strand for leading strand synthesis (71 and 58%, respectively). These results indicated that T(6-4)T blocked DNA replication more weakly than T=T during leading and lagging strand syntheses in mammalian cells. The mutation frequencies of T(6-4)T were 2.3 and 4.7% in the leading and lagging template strands, respectively. The T=T lesion was less mutagenic and induced mutations with 0.2-0.7% frequencies. The T(6-4)T lesion primarily elicited 3'-T-->C substitutions, and T=T induced various types of mutations. These results indicate that T(6-4)T is more mutagenic than T=T during leading and lagging strand syntheses in simian cells. Moreover, this is the first evidence that shows T(6-4)T mainly elicits targeted substitutions at its 3'-T site in mammalian cells.

Abstract
Cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and (6-4) photoproducts are the two major classes of lesions produced in DNA by UVB and UVC irradiation. Their distribution along genes is nucleotide sequence-dependent. In vivo, the frequency of these lesions at specific sites is modulated by nucleosomes and other DNA binding proteins. Repair of UV photoproducts is dependent on the transcriptional status of the sequences to be repaired and on the chromatin environment. The formation of DNA photolesions by UV light is responsible for the induction of mutations and the development of skin cancer. To understand the mechanisms of UV mutagenesis, it is important to know how these lesions are formed, by which cellular pathways they are repaired and how they are dealt with by DNA polymerases.
