Candidates include DNA and urocanic acid, among other molecules within the cell membrane. DNA is proposed as a target due to the evidence that UV-induced immunosuppression can be reversed by treatment with DNA repair enzymes (72,73). Urocanic acid is a deamination product of histidine. High levels of trans-urocanic acid are produced by sweat glands within the stratum corneum of skin, and a photochemical isomerization converts the compound from trans- to the cis-urocanic acid. In animal models, the cis presentation can suppress delayed-type hypersensitivity (74) and contact hypersensitivity (75).
8). PTC represses the pathway by inhibiting signaling by SMO (67,68). SMO is released from PTC repression if (i) Hh binds to PTC, (ii) PTC is mutationally inactivated, 14 Mitchell and Cleaver Figure 7 Pleiotropic effects of p53. Figure 8 Patched protein pathway. Photobiology of Photocarcinogenesis 15 or (iii) SMO mutation impedes PTC –SMO protein interaction (69). Once released from PTC repression, SMO signaling activates transcription factor Gli that in turn upregulates expression of PTC itself and of a variety of other genes depending on tissue, organism, and stage of development.
Current thought suggests that the CPD is the major mutagenic lesion induced in mammalian cells by UVB due to its high induction levels, slow repair, and high bypass tolerance. Recently, researchers have used transgenic mice expressing inducible CPD or (6 – 4)PD photolyases in the skin to significantly advance our understanding of the biological effects of these two lesions with regard to skin cancer (86). From this work, it is evident that, at least in mice, most of the acute effects of UVB, including erythema, apoptosis, hyperplasia, and mutations are caused by CPDs and that CPDs are the principal cause of nonmelanoma skin cancer.
