Project description:The goal of this thesis is to study the response of a human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT cells) after UVB irradiation. In order to develop a system for UV irradiation, we firtstly studied the UV illumination system to find out a stable and reliable condition for UV irradiation experiments. Further, we found out the proper dose of UVB radiation and time points after UVB irradiation by performing MTT assay and trypan blue viability test. According to the results of MTT assay and trypan blue viability test, the cellular activity as well as survival rate of UVB-irradiated cells were in proportion to the radiation doses within a lower UVB dose range. We wanted to find out the possible reasons for this phenomenon by using cDNA microarray. We hope the thesis could be a guide for the following researches, and be useful in the clinical studies about the UV damage. Keywords: dose response and time course Loop-designed microarray experiments were performed in our study. Twenty-one samples are arranges as seven small loops and one large loop, with three and seven microarray slides for each small and large loop, respectively. This set of loop-designed microarray experiment contains one control untreated (non UVB-treated) samples and two UVB-treated samples (one low dose and one high dose UVB-treated) at each time point (total seven time points).

Project description:To test whether there is a photoprotective benefit after different types of suberythemal repetitive UV, a 1.5 MED challenge dose was applied 1 week after the initial 2 weeks of repetitive irradiation. To determine what different mechanisms and/or factors might be involved in physiological pigmentary responses of the skin to different types of UV, we used whole human genome microarrays and immunohistochemical analyses to characterize human skin in situ to examine how melanocyte-specific proteins and paracrine melanogenic factors are regulated by repetitive exposure to suberythemal doses of different types of UV (UVA and/or UVB). Seven volunteers with skin type II-III were irradiated with UVA, UVB or UVA+UVB radiation for 2 weeks (5 times per week, 10 times total) after preliminary determination of their MEDs. A UVA+UVB challenge dose of 1.5X the MED was applied 1 week later. Biopsies were taken before the challenge dose, immediately after the challenge dose, 4 days after the challenge, and 15 weeks after the challenge.

Project description:Microarray technology was used to assess transcriptome changes in poplar (Populus alba L.) under a realistic simulation of increased UV-B radiation. Plants were UV-Bbe (UV-B biologically effective radiation) supplemented with a dose of 6 kJ/m2/day for 12 hours per day and allowed to recover during the night. Poplar plants were UV-B treated using a refined controlled environment able to guarantee a realistic simulation of natural conditions, especially for light parameters such as presence of background UV-B radiation for control plants and balanced PAR/UV-A/UV-B ratio. A time course experiment was planned to look both at the rapid and delayed response of poplar to UVB; two time points after 3 h (T3h) and 30 h (6th hour of the third day of treatment, T30h) were considered. 4 independent biological replicates were analysed for each time point. Competitive hybridisations were carried out using the PICME 28K microarray. Keywords: Time course experiment, stress response Two condition experiment: UVB supplemented plants vs normal UV-B level plants. Biological replicates: 4 UVB suplemented plants, 4 control plants, two time points, one replicate per array. Dye swap between replicates.

Project description:Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a major melanoma risk factor, yet underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we introduce a mouse model permitting fluorescence-aided melanocyte imaging and isolation following in vivo UV irradiation. We use expression profiling to show that activated neonatal skin melanocytes isolated following a melanomagenic UVB dose bear a distinct, persistent interferon-response signature, including genes associated with immunoevasion. UVB-induced melanocyte activation, characterized by aberrant growth and migration, was abolished by antibody-mediated systemic blockade of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), but not type-I interferons. IFN-gamma was produced by macrophages recruited to neonatal skin by UVB-induced chemokine receptor Ccr2 ligands. Admixed recruited skin macrophages enhanced transplanted melanoma growth by inhibiting apoptosis; notably, IFN-gamma blockade abolished macrophage-associated melanoma growth and survival. IFN-gamma-producing macrophages were identified in 70% of human melanomas examined. Our data reveal an unanticipated role for IFN-gamma in promoting melanocytic cell survival/immunoevasion, and suggest IFN-gamma-R signaling represents a novel therapeutic melanoma target. Biologic replicates of UVA- and UVB-treated mouse melanocytes, as well as untreated mouse melanocytes and mouse keratinocytes, were used to define melanocyte expression signatures associated with UV treatment.

Project description:In response to ultraviolet radiation (UVR), cells alter gene expression, switching on a variety of damage response pathways. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is thought to play critical roles in regulating expression of protein-coding genes. We hypothesized that lncRNAs also regulate gene expression following UV exposure and screened for changes in lncRNA expression in human primary fibroblasts after irradiation with longwave UV (UVA) or shortwave UV (UVB).

Project description:To investigate the mechanism of radiation induced bystander effect, we explored miRNAs expression in supernatant of human skin fibroblasts after culturing for 24h post UV irradiation. Primary human skin fibroblasts were obtained from healthy volunteers by means of a foreskin circumcision. Human skin fibroblasts was irradiated with 20J/cm2 UVA or 60mJ/cm2 UVB. Expression of miRNAs were tested by microarray between radiation and control samples.

Six volunteers with skin type II-III were irradiated with SSR, UVA or UVB radiation for 2 weeks (5 times per week, 10 times total) after preliminary determination of their MEDs. Biopsies were taken 3 days after the last irradiation.

Project description:Dr. Liu's research group is interested in studying the expression and functions of galectin-3, -7 and -12, in particular the roles of these proteins in inflammation and neoplasm. Members of the galectin family are known to participate in cellular homeostasis by modulating cell growth, controlling cell cycle progression, and inducing or inhibiting apoptosis. It is known that some galectins have similar functions. However, it is not fully understood whether they work cooperatively or not. As the outermost barrier of the body, skin is directly and frequently exposed to a prooxidative environment, including solar ultraviolet A (UVA), ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, and air pollution. Several reports have shown that exposure of cells to UV increase or decrease the levels of galectins. For example, the amounts of galectin-7 mRNA and protein are increased rapidly after UVB irradiation of keratinocytes (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 1999; 96:11329-34). Heat shock and subculturing decrease, while alkylating agents and UV-light increase galectin-3 (Cell Physiol Biochem 2000; 10:149-58). To analyze the change of all galectin gene expression profiles after UVB irradiation and to determine the presence or absence of coordinate regulation, we analyzed the gene expression profiles of keratinocytes exposed to UVB. Normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) were irradiated with 200 J/m2 of UVB. Total RNA will be extracted at 0, 6, 12 and 24 h after irradiation (duplicate) for analysis on the Glyco gene chip. Several reports have shown that exposure to UV light can regulate levels of galectin in skin. This study seeks to analyze the changes in all galectin gene expression profiles post-UVB irradiation to determine the presence or absence of coordinate regulation. In this study, normal human keratinocytes were irradiated with 200J/m2 of UVB. Total RNA was extracted at 0, 6, 12, and 24-hour post irradiation time points, in duplicate. Samples were hybridized and analyzed using the GLYCOv2 array.
