Abstract
The bifunctional furocoumarin 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) is a well established drug in the photochemotherapy of psoriasis and other skin diseases. In eukaryotic cells, this compound intercalates into DNA and undergoes photocycloaddition with pyrimidines to form monoadducts and interstrand crosslinks initiating a cascade of events leading to cytotoxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic responses. In yeast cells, exposure to 8-MOP plus UVA induces transcription of a large set of genes, and cellular reaction is different from an overall DNA damage response and specific to 8-MOP/UVA [M. Dardalhon, W. Lin, A. Nicolas, D. Averbeck, Specific transcriptional responses induced by 8-methoxypsoralen and UVA in yeast, FEMS Yeast Res. 7 (2007) 866-878]. To further define the relationship between induced genes and genotoxic consequences after 8-MOP/UVA treatment, the survival responses of mutants deleted for genes that are specifically induced by 8-MOP plus UVA were analysed in terms of survival. Six mutants deleted for RAD51, RAD54, DUN1, DIN7, already known to be implicated in DNA damage responses, and for SLT2/MPK1 and PDE2 involved in cell wall stress responses, were found sensitive to 8-MOP plus UVA treatment. Further characterization of slt2 mutant provides evidence for the existence of an 8-MOP/UVA response in yeast in which the yeast Slt2 MAPK pathway is implicated. Activation by 8-MOP plus UVA of this MAP kinase previously observed at the transcriptional level is now confirmed at the protein level. In addition to sensitivity to 8-MOP/UVA, yeast cells lacking SLT2 show reduced survival after 3-carbethoxypsoralen plus UVA and 1,6-dioxapyrene plus UVA. Osmotic support could suppress the sensitivities to these genotoxic agents, suggesting that these sensitivities are related to cell integrity defects and/or cell wall defects.

Abstract
Photoreactive chemicals can induce dermatological reactions when present in the skin exposed to sunlight. Thus, new chemicals absorbing above 290 nm should have their potential phototoxicity tested. In order to screen a large number of molecules with various physico-chemical properties, a microbiological method is helpful. To this end, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was evaluated for its ability to detect phototoxic compounds. Twelve products known to be phototoxic in vivo and previously used as standards for validating the regulatory test 3T3 NRU were used in this work. Eleven of them could be detected in the yeast assay and, among them, 5-methoxypsoralen (5-MOP), 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP), angelicin and, to a lower extend, tiaprofenic acid induced genetic alterations. Interestingly, a pre-incubation with yeast cells in the dark before exposure decreased the phototoxicity of 5-MOP and 8-MOP but had no effect on this of chlorpromazine and ketoprofen. Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Salmonella typhimurium (strains TA100 and TA102) were compared for the evaluation of 5-MOP and 8-MOP photogenotoxicity; only the yeast assay allowed to perform experiments in exposure conditions close to those encountered in environmental situations. Finally, an application of this experimental approach to the detection of traces of furocoumarins in fragrance materials was developed.

Abstract
In recent years, assessing the photogenotoxic potential of a compound became an issue for certain drugs and cosmetical products. Therefore, existing methods performed according to international guidelines (e.g. OECD guidelines) were adapted to the use of concurrent UV-visible (UV-Vis) light irradiation for the assessment of photomutagenicity/photogenotoxicity. In this review, photobiological bases of the processes occurring in the cell after irradiation with UV- and/or visible (vis)-light as well as a compilation of testing methods is presented. Methods comprise cell free investigations on naked DNA and in vitro methods, such as the photo-Ames test, the photo-HPRT/photo-mouse lymphoma assay (MLA), the photo-micronucleus test (MNT), the photo-chromosomal aberration test (CA) and the photo-Comet assay. A compilation of the currently available international literature of compounds tested on photogenotoxicity is given for each method. The state of the art of photogenotoxicity testing as well as the rational for testing are outlined in relation to the recommendations reached in expert working groups at different international meetings and to regulatory guidance papers. Finally, photogenotoxicity testing as predictor of photocarcinogenicity and in the light of risk assessment is discussed.

Abstract
Bacteriochlorin a (BCA) is an effective second-generation photosensitizer both in vitro and in vivo. BCA has a high molecular absorption coefficient (32,000 M-1 cm-1) at 760 nm. At this wavelength tissue penetration of light is almost optimal and melanin absorption is relatively low. BCA is preferentially retained in a number of tumour model systems and is rapidly cleared from non-cancerous tissues, thus inducing no or minor skin photosensitivity. Mutagenicity of BCA has been tested using the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA97, TA98, TA100, TA102 and TA104. In all tester strains used, BCA induces, in the dark, a minute increase in the number of revertants. No linear correlation between the number of revertants and the BCA dose is observed. Incubation of isolated rat hepatocytes with BCA, in the dark, does not result in increased cell death as measured by leakage of cytosolic lactate dehydrogenase. A convenient bioassay to test possible genotoxicity in vivo is the established Somatic Mutation and Recombination Test (SMART) on Drosophila melanogaster. Bacteriochlorin was tested for induction of loss of heterozygosity in the white/white+ eye mosaic assay, which predominantly measures homologous mitotic recombination in somatic cells of Drosophila after treatment of larval stages. BCA did not induce loss of heterozygosity above the level of the incorporated controls, with or without illumination. Based on these results, obtained in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and in vivo, we are inclined to conclude that the dark toxicity and mutagenic properties of BCA, as measured by the applied bioassays, are negligible.

Abstract
The specific recognition of DNA modifications by repair endonucleases was used to characterize DNA damage induced by 1,6-dioxapyrene (1,6-DP) in the presence of ultraviolet light at 365 nm (UVA) in the plasmid YEplac181. Under cell free conditions, 1,6-DP plus UVA generated lesions are recognized by the UvrABC endonuclease, the proteins Nth, Nfo and Fpg. The number of UvrABC sensitive sites was at least ten-fold higher than that of Fpg or Nth sensitive sites. Moreover, 1,6-DP plus UVA generated single-strand breaks which are the second most frequent lesions. To investigate the biological effect of DNA damage, YEplac181 DNA was treated with 1,6-DP plus UVA and transformed into Escherichia coli or Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In Escherichia coli, the transformation efficiency of 1,6-DP plus UVA treated DNA was greatly reduced in the uvrA mutant compared to that in the wild-type strain. However, the transforming efficiency was not affected in Fpg-deficient strains. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the transformation efficiency of 1,6-DP plus UVA treated YEplac181 was greatly reduced in the rad14::URA3 strain. The photobiological effect of 1,6-DP plus UVA was also analysed in haploid yeast strains of various repair capacities. The results show that the yeast strain defective in the nucleotide excision repair pathway (rad14::URA3) is hypersensitive to 1,6-DP plus UVA treatment as compared to the parental wild-type strain. It is confirmed that the lethal effect of 1,6-DP plus UVA on wild-type yeast is strongly oxygen dependent, whereas the survival of the rad14::URA3 mutant only exhibits a minor oxygen dependence. To conclude, our data show that the photodynamic DNA lesions induced by 1,6-DP plus UVA can be recognized and repaired in pro- and eukaryotic cells by the nucleotide excision repair pathway.

Abstract
The relationship between the induction of the genes RAD54 and RNR2 and the induction and repair of specific DNA lesions was studied in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae using Rad54-lacZ and RNR2-lacZ fusion strains. Gene induction was followed by measuring beta-galactosidase activity. At comparable levels of furocoumarin-DNA photoadducts, RAD54 was more effectively induced by bifunctional than by monofunctional furocoumarins indicating that mixtures of monoadducts (MA) and interstrand cross-links (CL) provide a stronger inducing signal than MA. RNR2 induction kinetics were measured in relation to cell growth and survival responses after treatment with the furocoumarins 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP), 5-methoxypsoralen (5-MOP), 3-carbethoxypsoralen (3-CPs), 7-methyl-pyrido[3,4-c]psoralen (MePyPs) and 4,4',6-trimethylangelicin (TMA), benzo[a]pyrene (B(a)P and 1,6-dioxapyrene (1,6-DP) plus UVA, 254 nm UV radiation and cobalt-60 gamma-radiation. Induction of RNR2 took place during the DNA repair period before resumption of cell growth and clearly increased with increasing equitoxic dose levels. Treatments with furocoumarin plus 365 nm radiation (UVA) and 254 nm (UV) radiation were effective inducers whereas gene induction was relatively weak after gamma-radiation and absent after the induction of oxidative damage by B(a)P and 1,6-DP and UVA. The results suggest that it is the specific processing of different DNA lesions that determines the potency of the induction signal. Apparently, DNA lesions such as CL, and probably also closely located MA or pyrimidine dimers in opposite DNA strands involving the formation of double-strand breaks as repair intermediates, are most effective inducers.
