DNA damage after acute exposure of mice skin to physiological doses of UVB and UVA light
Original language description
Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation is an important risk factor in skin carcinogenesis. This has been attributed mainly to the UVB waveband because the high-energetic photons are capable of interacting with DNA and inducing DNA damage. Recently, UVA light has also gained increasing interest in relation to DNA alteration. Although UVA photons are less energetic than UVB, they comprise a major fraction of sunlight UV radiation and penetrate deep into the skin. The study was carried out to compare the acute effects of UVA and UVB light on SKH-1 mice in relation to DNA damage and associated parameters. Mice were exposed to UVA (10 and 20 J/cm(2)) or UVB (200 and 800 mJ/cm(2)) radiation. The number of DNA single-strand breaks (SSB) in lymphocytes, amount of phosphorylated histone H2AX (gamma-H2AX) and apoptosis or DNA fragmentation (TUNEL-positive cells) in skin sections and level of gamma-H2AX, activated caspase-3 and phosphorylated p53 in skin were evaluated after 4 and 24 h. SSB analyzed by
