Extracellular Vesicles from UVB Irradiated Keratinocytes Contain Cyclobutane Pyrimidine Dimers
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation induces the formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) in genomic DNA, which are normally removed by nucleotide excision repair. However, the fate of these adducts remain largely unexplored.

DNA excision repair: Where do all the dimers go?
Exposure of cells to UV light from the sun causes the formation of pyrimidine dimers in DNA that have the potential to lead to mutation and cancer. In humans, pyrimidine dimers are removed from the genome in the form of ~30 nt-long oligomers by concerted

Benefit/risk management of skin exposure to sunlight, especially ultraviolet (UV) rays, is mainly driven by photoaging, cancer incidence, and the requirement for vitamin D3 synthesis.

UVA-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers in DNA: a direct photochemical mechanism?
International audienceThe carcinogenic action of UVA radiation is commonly attributed to DNA oxidation mediated by endogenous photosensitisers. Yet, it was recently shown that cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD), well known for their involvement in UVB ...

Photolyase transgenic mice have opened new avenues to improve our understanding of the cytotoxic effects of ultraviolet (UV) light on skin by providing a means to selectively remove either cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) or pyrimidine (6-4 ...

UVA1 Induces Cyclobutane Pyrimidine Dimers but Not 6-4 Photoproducts in Human Skin In Vivo
UVB readily induces cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers, mainly thymine dimers (TTs), and pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone photoproducts (6-4PPs) in DNA. These lesions result in “UVB signature mutations” found in skin cancers.

International audienceSolar UV radiation is the most important environmental factor involved in the pathogenesis of skin cancers. The well known genotoxic properties of UVB radiation (290-320 nm) mostly involve bipyrimidine DNA photoproducts. In contrast,

Pyrimidine dimers participate as important factors in ultraviolet-induced lethality, mutagenicity and tumorgenicity. Substantial efforts have been made in recent years to understand the induction of pyrimidine photodimers and their repair in human skin ...
