Action spectra for ultraviolet light-induced transformation of human cells to anchorage-independent growth.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have determined action spectra for transformation of human embryonic skin and muscle fibroblasts to anchorage-independent growth. Tests under our experimental conditions indicate that reciprocity holds for photon rate and exposure time and that all the dose-effect curves in the wavelength range of 248 to 297 nm are smaller. These data can be used to construct action spectra with a maximum at about 265 nm, which do not implicate moieties other than nucleic acids as absorbers in the transformation process.

Effect of retinoic acid on the late-stage promotion of transformation in JB6 mouse epidermal cells in culture.
beta-All-trans-retinoic acid (RA) inhibited the anchorage-independent growth of JB6 cells induced by either mezerein or alpha-epidermal growth factor (alpha-EGF) (a purified fraction of epidermal growth factor). The inhibition was dose dependent for alpha-EGF as well as for RA. Mezerein-induced growth in soft agar was inhibited to a greater extent by RA than was alpha-EGF-induced growth in soft...
متن کاملAbnormal sensitivity of human fibroblasts from xeroderma pigmentosum variants to transformation to anchorage independence by ultraviolet radiation.
One class of xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) patients, known as XP variants, inherit the characteristic predisposition to sunlight-induced skin cancer, but unlike the majority of XP patients, their cells do not exhibit a deficiency in rate of excision repair of ultraviolet (UV) radiation-induced DNA damage. XP variant cells are only slightly more sensitive than normal to killing by 254 nm UV radiati...

متن کاملRedox effector factor-1, combined with reactive oxygen species, plays an important role in the transformation of JB6 cells.
Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease/redox effector factor-1 (APE/Ref-1) is a multifunctional protein involved both in DNA base excision repair and redox regulation. Studies have suggested that abnormal Ref-1 levels and/or activities are associated with tumor progression and sensitivities to treatment, but no direct evidence has yet been published regarding the role of Ref-1 in malignant transfor...

BACKGROUND Long-term exposure of arsenite leads to human skin cancer. However, the exact mechanisms of arsenite-induced human skin carcinogenesis remain to be defined. OBJECTIVES In this study, we investigated the potential role of PI-3K/Akt/cyclin D1in the transformation of human keratinocytic cells upon arsenite exposure. METHODS We used the soft agar assay to evaluate the cell transforma...
