Effect of Ultraviolet Radiation and Benzo[a]pyrene Co-Exposure on Skin Biology: Autophagy as a Potential Target.


ABSTRACT: The skin is the outermost protective barrier of the human body. Its role is to protect against different physical, chemical, biological and environmental stressors. The vast majority of studies have focused on investigating the effects of single environmental stressors on skin homeostasis and the induction of several skin disorders, such as cancer or ageing. On the other hand, much fewer studies have explored the consequences of the co-exposure of skin cells to two or more stressors simultaneously, which is much more realistic. In the present study, we investigated, using mass-spectrometry-based proteomic analysis, the dysregulated biological functions in skin explants after their co-exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UV) and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP). We observed that several biological processes were dysregulated, among which autophagy appeared to be significantly downregulated. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry analysis was carried out to validate the downregulation of the autophagy process further. Altogether, the output of this study provides an insight into the biological responses of skin to combined exposure to UV + BaP and highlights autophagy as a potential target that might be considered in the future as a novel candidate for pharmacological intervention under such stress conditions.
