4-Terf-Butylperoxymethyl-9-Methoxypsoralen as Intercalating Photochemical Alkoxyl-Radical Source for Oxidative DNA Damage

We describe the synthesis of a novel psoralen peroxide 1 that generates on irradiation (350 nml alkoxyl radicals, namely tert-butoxyl radicals, as confirmed by electron spin resonance studies with the spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-pyrroline-N-oxide. The radical source intercalates into the DNA, which has been demonstrated by linear-flow-dichroism measurements. Thus, the alkoxyl radicals are formed advantageously directly in the DNA matrix. In supercoiled pBR322 DNA, the generation of strand breaks by the photochemically or metal-catalyzed generated alkoxyl radicals is demonstrated. Photosensitization by the psoralen chromophore was excluded because similar substances that do not release radicals caused no DNA damage, nor were the photoproducts of the peroxide 1 active. With calf thymus DNA, 8-oxoGua and small amounts of guanidine-releasing products, e.g. oxazolone, were observed. However, in these reactions the photoproduct also displayed some DNA-oxidizing capacity.     

The Immunological Effect of 8-Methoxypsoralen and UVA Treatment on Murine T-Cell Leukemia

Abstract— 8-Methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) plus long-wavelength UV radiation (UVA, 320–400 nm) have been used to treat various diseases such as cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, systemic scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis and rejection of heart transplants. However, the immunological mechanism of this treatment remains unknown. In this report, we investigated the effect of 8-MOP/UVA on the modulation of the immunogenicity of a T-cell leukemia cell line (RL ♂l cells). The results demonstrated that the stimulator function of the in vitro 8-MOP/UVA-treated RL♂ cells was enhanced in both RL ♂1-specific allogeneic and syngeneic immune responses. Furthermore, the enhancement of the immunogenicity of the 8-MOP/UVA-treated RL♂ cells was found to be strongly associated with the increase of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression on these 8-MOP/UVA-treated tumor cells. Therefore, our findings suggested that the alteration of the expression of the immune-related cell surface molecules might be an important effect of 8-MOP/UVA treatment on the elevation of the immunogenicity of the 8-MOP/UVA-treated tumor cells.     

Duck Hepatitis B Virus Inactivation and 8-Methoxypsoralen Photoadduct Formation in Human Platelet Concentrates*

Photochemical inactivation (PCI) of virus and bacteria in platelet concentrates (PC) has been demonstrated using 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) and long-wavelength UV light (UVA). To study inactivation of blood-borne virus, we have employed duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV), a model for human hepatitis B virus. A specific hepatocyte culture infectivity assay, with PCR detection, could measure 5–6 log₁₀ virus kill. The DHBV inactivation in PC was dependent on UVA dose, was enhanced when plasma was reduced from 100% to 20% and was limited by 8-MOP solubility in the reduced-plasma medium. Optimum conditions for PCI were 100 μg/mL 8-MOP in 20% plasma and 80% synthetic platelet storage medium. A radiolabeling assay for 8-MOP photoadducts in hepatocytes seeded into PC confirmed that DHBV inactivation reflected DNA modification and indicated that adduct formation was insensitive to minor variations in conditions. Kinetic modeling indicated that optimum adduct formation was a compromise between 8-MOP dark binding and optical transmittance and that plasma proteins competed for 8-MOP binding. The PCI results in various media correlated with corresponding DNA modification densities and were compared to statistical models incorporating DHBV characteristics and predictions of 8-MOP crosslink formation between DNA strands. Behavior was consistent with one or a small number of lethal modifications per DNA strand, including monoadducts, but probably not crosslinks alone. A minor subpopulation of DHBV was found to be, somewhat more difficult to inactivate, consistent with three-fold lower modification, due possibly to single-stranded DNA character or host repair of photoadducts.     

8-Methoxypsoralen and Ultraviolet A Radiation Activate the Human Elastin Promoter in Transgenic Mice: In vivo and in vitro Evidence for Gene Induction

Treatment of skin diseases with the combination of 8-methoxypsoralen and ultraviolet A radiation (PUVA) results in clinical alterations in treated skin that resemble those observed in chronically photodamaged skin. The PUVA-treated patients develop nonmelanoma skin cancers, pigmentary alterations and wrinkling characteristic of sun-induced changes. The major alteration in the dermis of sun-damaged skin is the deposition of abnormal elastic fibers, termed solar elastosis. Up-regulation of elastin promoter activity in dermal fibroblasts explains the excess elastic tissue but not the reason for the aberrant morphology of the elastotic material. In order to study photoaging in an experimental system, we utilized a transgenic mouse line that expresses the human elastin promoter/chloramphenicol acetyltransferase construct in a tissue-specific and developmentally regulated manner. Although UVB radiation has been demonstrated to increase promoter activity in vitro, UVA fails to demonstrate a similar effect at the doses utilized. In this study, we demonstrate the ability of PUVA treatment to up-re-gulate elastin promoter activity both in vitro and in vivo. These data help to explain the development of photoaging in sun-protected PUVA-treated skin. We attribute the up-regulation of elastin promoter activity in response to PUVA to the formation of DNA photoadducts, which do not occur in response to UVA radiation alone.     

DNA Photodamage, Repair, Gene Induction and Genotoxicity Following Exposures to 254 nm UV and 8-Methoxypsoralen Plus UVA in a Eukaryotic Cell System

The induction and repair of different types of photodamage and photogenotoxicity in eukaryotic cells have been the subject of many studies. Little is known about possible links between these phenomena and the induction of DNA damage-inducible genes. We explored this relationship using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a pertinent eukaryotic model. Previous results showed that the photogenotoxic potential of 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) plus UVA is higher than that of UV (254 nm). Moreover, the induction of the ribonucleotide reductase gene RNR2 by UV and 8-MOP plus UVA in an RNR2-LACZ fusion strain and the formation of DNA double-strand breaks (dsb) as repair intermediates after such treatments suggest that the latter process could involve a signal for gene induction. To further substantiate this, we measured the induction of the DNA repair gene RAD51 in RAD51-LACZ fusion strains using the dsb repair and recombination deficient mutant rad52 and the corresponding wild type, and we determined the formation of dsb by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. After treatments, the resealing of dsb formed as repair intermediates was impaired in the rad52 mutant. At equal doses, i.e. the same number of lesions, the induction of the RAD51 gene by UV or 8-MOP plus UVA was significantly reduced in the rad52 mutant as compared with the wild type. The same was true when equitoxic doses were used. Thus, the RAD52 repair pathway appears to play an important role not only in dsb repair but also in gene induction. Furthermore, the signaling pathways initiated by DNA damage and its processing are somewhat linked to the photogenotoxic response.     

8-Methoxypsoralen and long-wave ultraviolet A inhibit the release of proinflammatory mediators and cytokines from human Fc epsilon RI+ cells: an in vitro study

The in vitro effects of 8-MOP (concentrations of 20, 100 and 500 ng/ml) alone or in combination with UVA on mediator release from human basophils and skin mast cells (HSMC), activated with immunological and non-immunological stimuli, were investigated. With respect to basophils activated with anti-IgE serum, the results of this study show that: (i) 8-MOP alone inhibits histamine, LTC(4), IL-4 and IL-13 release concentration dependently with a maximal effect at 500 ng/ml (a concentration not reached in vivo); and (ii) UVA irradiation (5 J/cm(2)), after 8-MOP incubation, enhances this inhibitory effect on all released mediators, but for IL-4 and IL-13 the percentage inhibition is also significant for the 8-MOP concentrations (20-100 ng/ml) employed in vivo during PUVA treatment. Moreover, histamine release from basophils activated with non-immunological stimuli (FMLP and A23187) is inhibited by 8-MOP, alone or in combination with UVA. With respect to the HSMC activated with anti-IgE serum, the results show that: (i) 8-MOP alone reduces histamine release concentration dependently; and (ii) this inhibitory effect is enhanced by UVA irradiation (5 J/cm(2)). Histamine release from HSMC activated with A23187 is not modified either by 8-MOP alone or by 8-MOP plus UVA.
