Animal models of ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-induced cutaneous melanoma.
The incidence of cutaneous melanoma continues to increase in many parts of the world including the United States. The American Cancer Society predicts that there will be approximately 53,600 new cases of melanoma in the United States during 2002 and that there will be 7,400 deaths from melanoma during the same time period. Increased understanding of the underlying mechanisms and risk factors in...
متن کاملUltraviolet radiation A-induced precursors of cutaneous melanoma in Monodelphis domestica.
Two groups of 30 dorsally shaved opossums (Monodelphis domestica) were exposed three times per week for 81 weeks to 250 J/m2 of UV radiation from FS40 sunlamps (approximately 150 J/m2 of UV radiation B; UV-B), or to 2.5 x 10(4) J/m2 of UV radiation A (UV-A) from filtered F40BLB fluorescent lamps (black lights). Animals were monitored for the appearance of nonmelanoma skin tumors (NMSTs) and mel...
متن کاملUltraviolet Radiation-Induced Cytogenetic Damage in White, Hispanic and Black Skin Melanocytes: A Risk for Cutaneous Melanoma
Cutaneous Melanoma (CM) is a leading cause of cancer deaths, with reports indicating a rising trend in the incidence rate of melanoma among Hispanics in certain U.S. states. The level of melanin pigmentation in the skin is suggested to render photoprotection from the DNA-damaging effects of Ultraviolet Radiation (UVR). UVR-induced DNA damage leads to cytogenetic defects visualized as the format...
متن کاملMetastatic Cutaneous Melanoma Promoted by Ultraviolet Radiation in Mice with Transgene-initiated Low Melanoma Susceptibility1
An inbred-strain (C57BL/6) transgenic (Tyr-SV40E) mouse model of ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-induced metastatic cutaneous melanoma was produced without the use of chemical carcinogens and without resulting in other skin malignancies. Expression of this transgene occurs specifically in melanocytic-lineage cells. In untreated hemizygous mice of transgenic line 12 there are no skin melanomas, and ...
