Abstract
The interaction of ultraviolet radiation with biological matter results in direct damage such as pyrimidine dimers in DNA. It also results in indirect damage provoked by the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) catalyzed by photosensitizers. Photosensitizers can be endogenous (e.g., tryptophan) or exogenous (e.g., TiO2 and other photostable UVA sunscreens). Direct damage triggers an inflammatory response and the oxidative and proteolytic bursts that characterize its onset. The inflammatory reaction multiplies the effects of one single photon. Indirect damage, such as the peroxidative cascade in membrane lipids, can extend to thousands of molecular modifications per absorbed photon. Sunscreens should therefore be formulated in the presence of appropriate antioxidants. Superoxide and singlet oxygen are the main ROS that need to be tackled: this review describes some of the molecular, biochemical, cellular, and clinical consequences of exposure to UV radiation as well as some results associated with scavengers and quenchers of superoxide and singlet oxygen, as well as with inhibitors of singlet oxygen production.

Abstract
Ultraviolet radiation (UV) induces a series of morphological and ultrastructural alterations in human epidermis. Alterations observed in irradiated keratinocytes in morphological studies done before were cell retraction with loss of intercellular interactions, surface blebbing, and eventually cell death by apoptosis. The aim of this study was to investigate effect of UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C irradiation on the cytoskeleton of human keratinocytes. Keratinocytes were obtained by exfoliative scrubbing procedure from buccal mucosa of healthy individuals, and treated with UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C radiation. Afterward, treated cell were labeled with anti-alfa-tubulin and anti-human-cytokeratin and analyzed by light and confocal microscopy. The intensity of the cytokeratin labeling was found to be much higher in all irradiated cells than in control cells as observed by light microscope and measured with the Image J program. This measurement showed that with the decrease in the wavelengths of UV irradiation the intensity of the labeling of cells increases. Although the authors expected to find the collapse of microtubules toward the cell nucleus or their rearrangement in UV-treated cells, these alterations were not verified on cell smears labeled with anti-alfa tubulin observed by confocal microscope. When they used electron microscopy to examine in more detail the morphology of irradiated cells, they did not find apoptotic cells, but found features of autophagy in UV-treated keratinocytes. The authors assume that autophagy found as a result of UV radiation of human keratinocytes acts as a cytoprotective mechanism against UV-induced apoptosis.

Abstract
Ultraviolet (UV) B radiation is the most common environmental factor in the pathogenesis of skin cancer. Exposure of human skin to UVB radiation leads to the depletion of cutaneous antioxidants, the activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB), and programmed cell death (apoptosis). Although antioxidant supplementation has been shown to prevent UVB-induced photooxidative damage, its effect on components of cell signaling pathways leading to gene expression has not been clearly established. In the present study, the effect of the antioxidant vitamin, alpha-tocopherol (alpha-T), and its acetate analog, alpha-tocopherol acetate (alpha-TAc), on UVB-induced damage in primary and neoplastic mouse keratinocytes was investigated. The ability of both vitamins to modulate UVB-induced apoptosis and activation of the transcription factor NF-kappaB were studied. Treatment of normal and neoplastic mouse epidermal keratinocytes (308 cells) with 30-60 mJ/cm(2) UVB markedly decreased viable cell number and was accompanied by DNA fragmentation. When both vitamins were applied to cells at times before and after UVB radiation, a significant increase in the percentage of viable cells and concomitant decrease in the number of apoptotic cells was noted, with vitamin pretreatment providing a better protection than posttreatment. Simultaneous posttreatment of irradiated cells with alpha-TAc abolished the cytotoxic effects of UVB and restored cell viability to control levels. In addition, simultaneous posttreatment of irradiated cells with alpha-T reduced the number of apoptotic cells by half, indicating a synergistic effect of two such treatments compared with any single one. Flow cytometry analysis indicated that vitamin treatment suppressed both an increase in pre-G0 cells and a decrease in cycling cells by UVB exposure. In addition, NF-kappaB activation was detected 2 h after UV exposure and was maintained for up to 8 h. Pretreatment with vitamins significantly inhibited NF-kappaB activation at 4 and 8 h. These results indicate that vitamin E and its acetate analog can modulate the cellular response to UVB partly through their action on NF-kappaB activation. Thus, these antioxidant vitamins are potential drugs for the protection from or the reduction of UVB-associated epidermal damage.

Abstract
Data on the morphological changes induced by UVA or UVB irradiation of A431 epidermoid cells in culture are presented. After irradiation with different doses of UVB (120-2400 J m-2) or UVA (10(4)-10(5) J m-2), the membrane and cytoskeleton of these cells were analysed by immunofluorescence and scanning electron microscopy at different times after exposure (0-48 h). Both UVA and UVB alter microtubules and microfilaments and surface blebs are formed after UV irradiation. In particular, UVB induces multiple small blebs on the cells, while UVA induces one single large bleb on each cell. Since cytoskeletal damage and surface blebbing of this type are also induced by oxidative stress, these results add to the body of evidence indicating that UV radiation is capable of pro-oxidant behaviour. Specifically, the morphological changes described in this paper are reminiscent of the modifications which accompany epidermal keratinocytes during their transformation to sunburn cells after UV irradiation. The physiological implications of these findings are discussed.

Abstract
We investigated the ability of the different wavelength regions of UV radiation, UVA (320-400 nm), UVB (290-320 nm) and UVC (200-290 nm), to induce hemolysis. Sheep erythrocytes were exposed to radiation from either a UVA1 (> 340 nm) sunlamp, a UVB sunlamp, or a UVC germicidal lamp. The doses used for the three wavelength regions were approximately equilethal to the survival of L5178Y murine lymphoma cells. Following exposure, negligible hemolysis was observed in the UVB- and UVC-irradiated erythrocytes, whereas a decrease in the relative cell number (RCN), indicative of hemolysis, was observed in the UVA1-exposed samples. The decrease in RCN was dependent on dose (0-1625 kJ/m2), time (0-78 h postirradiation) and cell density (10(6)-10(7) cells/mL).. Hemolysis decreased with increasing concentration of glutathione, hemoglobin or cell number, while the presence of pyruvate drastically enhanced it. Because scanning spectroscopy (200-700 nm) showed that hemoproteins and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotides were oxidized, cytoplasmic oxidative stress was implicated in the lytic mechanism. Further evidence of oxidation was obtained from electron micrographs, which revealed the formation of Heinz bodies near the plasma membrane. The data demonstrate that exposure of erythrocytes to UVA1, but not UVB or UVC, radiation causes oxidation of cytoplasmic components, which results in cytoskeletal damage and hemolysis.

Abstract
Ultraviolet radiation in the near range (UVA) causes lens opacification and disrupts the actin cytoskeleton in rabbit and gray squirrel lenses. Changes were noted using transmission electron microscopy of tangential sections and rhodaminephalloidin fluorescence microscopy of epithelial whole mounts of irradiated and unirradiated lenses, and corresponded with gross cataract formation. Irradiated lenses lacked microfilament polygonal arrays at the inner surface of the apical plasma membrane (i.e., in the cell pole next to the lens fibers) in lens epithelia of both species; a condensed actin bundle was present instead. This bundle, and scattered small actin clumps in the cytoplasm, were identified by immunogold TEM, using a specific antibody and a secondary antibody conjugated with colloidal gold. Similar techniques showed breakdown of tubulin and vimentin, but after longer intervals than for the breakdown of actin. Generalized cytologic damage was also present in epithelial cells, but not in the underlying cortical lens fibers. Damage began to occur after 4 hr of irradiation and became more severe with increased exposure. Shielded controls remained clear, had normal cytology and polygonal arrays, and no clumping of actin filaments.

Abstract
Indirect immunofluorescence microscopy has been used to investigate the ultraviolet (UV) radiation induced disruption of the organization of microfilaments, keratin intermediate filaments, and microtubules in cultured human epidermal keratinocytes. Following irradiation, concurrent changes in the organization of the three major cytoskeletal components were observed in cells incubated under low Ca2+ (0.15 mM) conditions. UV irradiation induced a dose-dependent condensation of keratin filaments into the perinuclear region. This collapse of the keratin network was accompanied by the reorganization of microfilaments into rings and a restricted distribution of microtubules, responses normally elicited by exposure to high Ca2+ (1.05 mM) medium. The UV induced alteration of the keratin network appears to disrupt the interactions between keratin and actin, permitting the reorganization of actin filaments in the absence of Ca2+ stimulation. In addition to the perinuclear condensation of keratin filaments, UV irradiation inhibits the Ca2+ induced formation of keratin alignments at the membrane of apposed cells if UV treatment precedes exposure to high Ca2+ medium. Incubation of keratinocytes in high Ca2+ medium for 24 hours prior to irradiation results in the stabilization of membrane associated keratin alignments and a reduced susceptibility of cytoplasmic keratin filaments to UV induced disruption. Unlike results from investigations with isogenic skin fibroblasts, no UV induced disassembly of microtubules was discernible in irradiated human keratinocytes.

Abstract
Indirect immunofluorescence microscopy has been used to investigate the coordinated reorganization of microtubules, microfilaments, and keratin intermediate filaments in cultured human epidermal keratinocytes following a switch from low-Ca++ (0.15 mM) medium to high-Ca++ (1.05 mM) medium. A dramatic reorganization occurs concurrently in the three major cytoskeletal components shortly after the calcium switch. The most prominent features are the alignment of keratin filaments at the plasma membranes of apposed cells, the induction of microfilament rings, the restriction of microtubules to the area within the boundaries of the microfilament rings, and the alignment of actin bundles at cell borders. Additional changes are observed in terminally differentiated cells. This is the first report that describes simultaneous changes in the organization of the three major cytoskeletal components of epidermal keratinocytes. Cytochalasin D and demecolcine (colcemid) studies were performed to determine whether the organization of microtubules, microfilaments, and keratin filaments, as well as the calcium-induced reorganization of these cytoskeletal elements, may be dependent on the existence of structural relationships between them. These studies demonstrate that the disruption of microfilaments results in the formation of a latticelike keratin network, with a close association of actin and keratin being maintained. The formation of keratin filament alignments occurs even in the absence of intact microfilaments. In addition, it was found that the Ca(++)-induced reorganization of microfilaments and keratin filaments is not dependent on an intact microtubule network. Furthermore, the reorganization of actin into concentric rings can be dissociated from changes in the organization of keratin filaments.

Abstract
Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of cultured human skin fibroblasts causes the disassembly of their microtubules. Using indirect immunofluorescence microscopy, we have now investigated whether damage to the microtubule precursor pool may contribute to the disruption of microtubules. Exposure to polychromatic UV radiation inhibits the reassembly of microtubules during cellular recovery from cold treatment. In addition, the ability of taxol to promote microtubule polymerization and bundling is inhibited in UV-irradiated cells. However, UV irradiation of taxol-pretreated cells or in situ detergent-extracted microtubules fails to disrupt the microtubule network. These data suggest that damage to dimeric tubulin, or another soluble factor(s) required for polymerization, contributes to the disassembly of microtubules in UV-irradiated human skin fibroblasts.
