In vivo identification of solar-responsive gene network

ABSTRACT: Solar radiation is one of the biggest threats to the skin, eliciting a specific protective cellular response. To descipt the underlying mechanisms, we have chosen to study in vivo, epidermis gene expression of surface solar radiation (SSR)-irradiated skin using whole genome microarray (Agilent 44K). We studied epidermis samples from five healthy Caucasian patients, with phototype II or III, using two different doses (2J/m2 and 4J/m2) and sham-irradiated.

Solar radiation is one of the most common threats to the skin, with exposure eliciting a specific protective cellular response. To decrypt the underlying mechanism, we used whole genome microarrays (Agilent 44K) to study epidermis gene expression in vivo in skin exposed to simulated solar radiation (SSR). We procured epidermis samples from healthy Caucasian patients, with phototypes II or III, and used two different SSR doses (2 and 4 J/cm(2)), the lower of which corresponded to the minimal eryt ...[more]

Project description:Background: Infrared A radiation (IRA 760-1440 nm) is a major component of solar radiation and, similar to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, causes photoaging of human skin by increasing the expression of matrixmetalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) expression in human skin fibroblasts. This gene-regulatory effect resulted from the IRA induced activation of the pleiotropic MAPKinase ERK1/2 signaling pathway, indicating that the IRA response extends beyond MMP-1. In the present study we have therefore assessed the IRA-induced transcriptom in primary human skin fibroblasts. Results: Microarray analysis revealed 599 transcripts to be regulated by physiologically relevant doses of IRA in primary human skin fibroblasts. The IRA induced transcriptom differed from changes known to be induced by UVB or UVA radiation in the same cell type. IRA responsive genes include four categories: extracellular matrix, calcium homeostasis, stress signaling, and apoptosis. These results were confirmed by realtime PCR experiments analyzing thirteen of these genes representing these four categories. By means of chemical inhibitors of known signaling pathways we next show that besides ERK1/2, the p38-, JNK-, PI3K/AKT-, STAT3-, and IL-6 as well as calcium mediated signaling pathways are functionally involved in the IRA gene response and that a major part of it is triggered by mitochondrial, and to a lesser extent non-mitochondrial production of reactive oxygen species. Conclusion: This study identifies IRA radiation as a potent modulator of gene expression in human skin cells. The IRA response is specific and involves genes which are of critical importance for the homeostasis of human skin. Our data confirm the previous notion that IRA contributes to premature skin aging and indicate that further biological effects may result from IRA exposure of human skin. To identify genes differentially regulated after IRA irradiation we analyzed a set of nine independent samples pairs (IRA irradiated vs. sham irradiated), using human primary human dermal fibroblasts from three different donors (termed F1 to F3). Cells between passage number five to ten were exposed in vitro to a dose of 860 J/cm2 IRA. IRA irradiation lasted 40 min leading to a total dose of 860 J/cm2. The culture dishes were placed on a cooled plate connected to thermostated bath (Thermo Haake GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany) to maintain temperatures below 37°C during IRA irradiation. For irradiation, medium was replaced by phosphate-buffered saline (37°C, Gibco). Control cells (sham) were held on a 37°C thermostated plate under similar conditions without irradiation. Following the treatment cells were cultivated for 24 hours with serum free MEM culture medium at 37°C.
