Unrepaired cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers do not prevent proliferation of UV-B-irradiated cultured human fibroblasts.

Résumé

Mutagenic and carcinogenic UV-B radiation is known to damage DNA mostly through the formation of bipyrimidine photoproducts, including cyclobutane dimers (CPD) and (6-4) photoproducts ((6-4) PP). Using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry, we investigated the formation and repair of thymine-thymine (TT) and thymine-cytosine (TC) CPD and (6-4) PP in the DNA of cultured human dermal fibroblasts. A major observation was that the rate of repair of the photoproducts did not depend on the identity of the modified pyrimidines. In addition, removal of CPD was found to significantly decrease with increasing applied UV-B dose, whereas (6-4) PP were efficiently repaired within less than 24 h, irrespective of the dose. As a result, a relatively large amount of CPD remained in the genome 48 h after the irradiation. Because the overall applied doses (<500 J m(-2)) were chosen to induce moderate cytotoxicity, fibroblasts could recover their proliferation capacities after transitory cell cycle arrest, as shown by 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdUrd) incorporation and flow cytometry analysis. It could thus be concluded that UV-B-irradiated cultured primary human fibroblasts normally proliferate 48 h after irradiation despite the presence of high levels of CPD in their genome. These observations emphasize the role of CPD in the mutagenic effects of UV-B.
