- | UVA light (UVA) is an environmental agent that induces DNA and proteins damage, which are related to consequences such as skin aging and carcinogenesis. The UVA light induces mainly pyrimidine cyclobutane (CPDs) and oxidized bases (for example, 8-oxoG). The important functions of nucleotide excision repair (NER) and translesion synthesis (TLS) to protect people against skin cancer is evident because of a rare hereditary disease, known as Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP), where patients carry mutations in the genes of these pathways. Concomitant with the induction of DNA damage, protein oxidation has been shown to be a factor accounting for the carcinogenic phenotype, previously neglected, as it can target NER proteins and compromise their functions. The project aims to elucidate the participation of CPDs and oxidative stress in the deleterious effects of UVA light on XP variant (XP-V) patient cells, to understand the mechanism by which NER is attenuated after exposure to UVA and the contribution of UVA light-induced DNA damages in the skin carcinogenesis of normal and XP people, with emphasis on redox processes. | + | |UVA light (UVA) is an environmental agent that induces DNA and proteins damage, which are related to consequences such as skin aging and carcinogenesis.
