Protein Oxidative Damage in UV-Related Skin Cancer and Dysplastic Lesions Contributes to Neoplastic Promotion and Progression. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12010110.

Abstract
The ultraviolet (UV) component of solar radiation is the major driving force of skin carcinogenesis. Most of studies on UV carcinogenesis actually focus on DNA damage while their proteome-damaging ability and its contribution to skin carcinogenesis have remained largely underexplored. A redox proteomic analysis of oxidized proteins in solar-induced neoplastic skin lesion and perilesional areas has been conducted showing that the protein oxidative burden mostly concerns a selected number of proteins participating to a defined set of functions, namely: chaperoning and stress response; protein folding/refolding and protein quality control; proteasomal function; DNA damage repair; protein- and vesicle-trafficking; cell architecture, adhesion/extra-cellular matrix (ECM) interaction; proliferation/oncosuppression; apoptosis/survival, all of them ultimately concurring either to structural damage repair or to damage detoxication and stress response. In peri-neoplastic areas the oxidative alterations are conducive to the persistence of genetic alterations, dysfunctional apoptosis surveillance, and a disrupted extracellular environment, thus creating the condition for transformant clones to establish, expand and progress. A comparatively lower burden of oxidative damage is observed in neoplastic areas. Such a finding can reflect an adaptive selection of best fitting clones to the sharply pro-oxidant neoplastic environment. In this context the DNA damage response appears severely perturbed, thus sustaining an increased genomic instability and an accelerated rate of neoplastic evolution. In conclusion UV radiation, in addition to being a cancer-initiating agent, can act, through protein oxidation, as a cancer-promoting agent and as an inducer of genomic instability concurring with the neoplastic progression of established lesions.

Abstract
UV-induced formation of pyrimidine dimers in DNA is a major deleterious event in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Accumulation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone photoproducts can lead to cell death or be at the origin of mutations. In skin, UV induction of DNA damage is a major initiating event in tumorigenesis. To counteract these deleterious effects, all cell types possess DNA repair machinery, such as nucleotide excision repair and, in some cell types, direct reversion. Different analytical approaches were used to assess the efficiency of repair and decipher the enzymatic mechanisms. We presently review the information provided by chromatographic methods, which are complementary to biochemical assays, such as immunological detection and electrophoresis-based techniques. Chromatographic assays are interesting in their ability to provide quantitative data on a wide range of damage and are also valuable tools for the identification of repair intermediates.

Abstract
Absorption of UV rays by DNA generates the formation of mutagenic cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD) and pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone photoproducts (6-4PP). These damages are the major cause of skin cancer because in turn, they can lead to signature UV mutations. The eye is exposed to UV light, but the cornea is orders of magnitude less prone to UV-induced cancer. In an attempt to shed light on this paradox, we compared cells of the corneal epithelium and the epidermis for UVB-induced DNA damage frequency, repair and cell death sensitivity. We found similar CPD levels but a 4-time faster UVB-induced CPD, but not 6-4PP, repair and lower UV-induced apoptosis sensitivity in corneal epithelial cells than epidermal. We then investigated levels of DDB2, a UV-induced DNA damage recognition protein mostly impacting CPD repair, XPC, essential for the repair of both CPD and 6-4PP and p53 a protein upstream of the genotoxic stress response. We found more DDB2, XPC and p53 in corneal epithelial cells than in epidermal cells. According to our results analyzing the protein stability of DDB2 and XPC, the higher level of DDB2 and XPC in corneal epithelial cells is most likely due to an increased stability of the protein. Taken together, our results show that corneal epithelial cells have a better efficiency to repair UV-induced mutagenic CPD. On the other hand, they are less prone to UV-induced apoptosis, which could be related to the fact that since the repair is more efficient in the HCEC, the need to eliminate highly damaged cells by apoptosis is reduced.

Abstract
It is well established that efficient removal of highly-promutagenic UV-induced dipyrimidine photoproducts via nucleotide excision repair (NER) is required for protection against sunlight-associated malignant melanoma. Nonetheless, the extent to which reduced NER capacity might contribute to individual melanoma susceptibility in the general population remains unclear. Here we show that among a panel of 14 human melanoma strains, 11 exhibit significant inhibition of DNA photoproduct removal during S phase relative to G0/G1 or G2/M. Evidence is presented that this cell cycle-specific NER defect correlates with enhanced apoptosis and reduced clonogenic survival following UV irradiation. In addition, melanoma strains deficient in S phase-specific DNA photoproduct removal manifest significantly lower levels of phosphorylated histone H2AX at 1 h post-UV, suggesting diminished activation of ataxia telangiectasia and Rad 3-related (ATR) kinase, i.e., a primary orchestrator of the cellular response to UV-induced DNA replication stress. Consistently, in the case of DNA photoproduct excision-proficient melanoma cells, siRNA-mediated depletion of ATR (but not of its immediate downstream effector kinase Chk1) engenders deficient NER specifically during S. On the other hand simultaneous siRNA-mediated depletion of ataxia telangiectasia mutated kinase (ATM) and DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) exerts no significant effect on either phosphorylation of H2AX at 1 h post-UV or the efficiency of DNA photoproduct removal. Our data suggest that defective NER exclusively during S phase, possibly associated with decreased ATR signaling, may constitute an heretofore unrecognized determinant in melanoma pathogenesis.

Abstract
DNA repair is crucial to the integrity of the human genome since mammalian cells are continuously exposed to different chemical and physical genotoxic agents. To counteract the lesions induced by these agents, organisms have developed a number of highly conserved repair mechanisms involving numerous protein complexes grouped in several different repair pathways. The importance of studying the individual capacity to repair DNA damage lies in the observation that deficient repair mechanisms of the genome have been linked to the presence of large number of diseases and cancer, and alterations in these mechanisms may also alter the susceptibility of individuals exposed to a particular mutagen. This review focused on the current knowledge of different assays developed to evaluate DNA repair capacity (DRC). These assays, which are grouped into five major categories, have been successfully applied in (1) in vitro studies, (2) epidemiological studies in patients with cancer or other different pathologies, and (3) environmentally or occupationally exposed populations. Nevertheless, some of the limitations include high interlaboratory variability and difficulty to implement the assays on a large scale. The selection of an adequate DRC assay needs to be made on the basis of the objective raised for its application and taking into account a number of determining factors, namely, (1) speed and cost, (2) type of DNA repair to be evaluated, and (3) sample availability.

Abstract
Sunlight UV exposure produces DNA photoproducts in skin that are repaired solely by nucleotide excision repair in humans. A significant fraction of melanomas are thought to result from UV-induced DNA damage that escapes repair; however, little evidence is available about the functional capacity of normal human melanocytes, malignant melanoma cells, and metastatic melanoma cells to repair UV-induced photoproducts in DNA. In this study, we measured nucleotide excision repair in both normal melanocytes and a panel of melanoma cell lines. Our results show that in 11 of 12 melanoma cell lines tested, UV photoproduct repair occurred as efficiently as in primary melanocytes. Importantly, repair capacity was not affected by mutation in the N-RAS or B-RAF oncogenes, nor was a difference observed between a highly metastatic melanoma cell line (A375SM) or its parental line (A375P). Lastly, we found that although p53 status contributed to photoproduct removal efficiency, its role did not seem to be mediated by enhanced expression or activity of DNA binding protein DDB2. We concluded that melanoma cells retain capacity for nucleotide excision repair, the loss of which probably does not commonly contribute to melanoma progression.

Abstract
Ascribing a causal role to ultraviolet radiation in melanoma induction is problematic, as the relationship between total lifetime sun exposure and melanoma risk is not as strong as for some other skin cancers. Epidemiological studies show that heightened melanoma risk is most associated with intermittent sunburns. Despite this, lesions can develop on anatomical locations receiving intermittent (e.g., the trunk) or chronic exposures (e.g., the head and neck). Individuals developing melanoma on truncal sites tend to have more nevi, suggesting that in addition to the differences in forms of sun exposure, there may also be innate variation that makes one more susceptible to one or other mechanism of melanoma development. Such differences may depend upon different responses at the time of exposure (e.g., pigmentation characteristics, DNA repair capability and melanocyte proliferative response), and/or the role of the skin microenvironment in limiting proliferation of a ‘primed’ or mutated melanocyte during the latent period leading up to the appearance of a melanocytic lesion.

Abstract
Epidemiologic studies suggest that exposure to sunlight is the primary etiologic agent for basal cell carcinoma. Formation of UV-induced DNA damage is believed to be a crucial event in the process leading to skin cancer. In this study, repair of photoproducts in DNA was followed in the skin of patients with basal cell carcinoma and control subjects. The subjects were exposed to 800 J/m(2) Commission Internationale de 1'Eclairag of solar-simulating radiation on buttock skin. Biopsies were taken at 0 hour, 24 hours, and 3 weeks after the exposure. Two cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers, TT=C and TT=T, were measured using a sensitive (32)P-postlabeling assay. Initial levels of both TT=C and TT=T differed between individuals in both groups. The levels of TT=T in patients with basal cell carcinoma and controls were similar (9.9 +/- 4.0 and 9.2 +/- 2.9 products per 10(6) normal nucleotides), whereas the level of TT=C was significantly lower in controls than in patients with basal cell carcinoma (6.2 +/- 3.1 versus 10.9 +/- 4.5 products per 10(6) normal nucleotides). The fractions of TT=T remaining after 24 hours and 3 weeks were significantly higher in patients with basal cell carcinoma (72% and 11%) compared with controls (48% and 5%). A slower removal in patients with basal cell carcinoma than in controls was indicated also for TT=C (52% versus 42% remaining at 24 hours); however, the difference between groups was not significant. When including data from our previously reported small-scale study, the fraction of dimers remaining at 24 hours was significantly higher in patients with basal cell carcinoma for both TT=C and TT=T. The data suggest that patients with basal cell carcinoma have a reduced capacity to repair UV-induced DNA lesions.

Abstract
Solar UV radiation is the most important environmental factor involved in the pathogenesis of skin cancers. The well known genotoxic properties of UVB radiation (290-320 nm) mostly involve bipyrimidine DNA photoproducts. In contrast, the contribution of more-abundant UVA radiation (320-400 nm) that are not directly absorbed by DNA remains poorly understood in skin. Using a highly accurate and quantitative assay based on HPLC coupled with tandem mass spectrometry, we determined the type and the yield of formation of DNA damage in whole human skin exposed to UVB or UVA. Cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers, a typical UVB-induced DNA damage, were found to be produced in significant yield also in whole human skin exposed to UVA through a mechanism different from that triggered by UVB. Moreover, the latter class of photoproducts is produced in a larger amount than 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine, the most common oxidatively generated lesion, in human skin. Strikingly, the rate of removal of UVA-generated cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers was lower than those produced by UVB irradiation of skin. Finally, we compared the formation yields of DNA damage in whole skin with those determined in primary cultures of keratinocytes isolated from the same donors. We thus showed that human skin efficiently protects against UVB-induced DNA lesions, whereas very weak protection is afforded against UVA. These observations emphasize the likely role played by the UVA-induced DNA damage in skin carcinogenesis and should have consequences for photoprotection strategies.

Abstract
Susceptibility to solar ultraviolet is an important melanoma risk factor. We investigated the relationship between individual susceptibility to ultraviolet and risk of melanoma by measuring the apoptosis triggered in peripheral lymphocytes by a low-dose ultraviolet B irradiation (50 J/m(2)) in young and older melanoma patients and controls. Melanoma patients below the age of 40 are more sensitive to UVB-induced apoptosis than older melanoma patients and healthy controls. Analysis of data (adjusted for age and phototype) shows that UVB-induced apoptosis is an important risk factor for melanoma (OR 9.1, 95% CI [3-28], P=0.0001). UVB-induced apoptosis is independent of phototype (P=0.11, Wald test) and tumour thickness (P=0.88, Spearman correlation, for all cases and 0.26 for patients younger than 40 years), and may be used as a functional laboratory test for studying the genetic-environment interactions involved in melanoma occurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation has a broad spectrum of biological effects and a capacity to initiate skin carcinogenesis through DNA damage. The effect of different wave bands of UV light on the production of DNA damage in human skin in situ was studied with a broadband UV-B lamp TL-12 and a narrowband UV-B lamp TL-01. METHODS Eight psoriasis patients participated in the study. Their minimal erythema dose was assessed separately for the two UV-B wave band ranges. Test areas of buttock skin were irradiated with the two spectrally differing lamps using erythemally equivalent UV doses of 40 and 80 mJ/cm2 CIE (Commission International de I'Eclairage). Punch biopsies were taken from the irradiated areas, and UV-induced DNA lesions (cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers, CPDs) in the skin were analyzed with a 32P high-performance liquid chromatography postlabelling method. RESULTS No UV source-dependent differences in the induced levels of CPDs were detected in this study. CONCLUSION CPD production with broadband TL-12 and narrowband TL-01 UV-B lamps in situ did not differ when erythemally equivalent UV doses were used. The preliminary result needs to be confirmed in a larger study.

Abstract
DNA adduct formation in humans is a promising biomarker for elucidating the molecular epidemiology of cancer. For detection of DNA adducts, the most widely used methods include mass spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, immunoassays and 32P-postlabelling. Among them, the 32P-postlabelling method appears to meet best the criteria of sensitivity and amount of DNA needed, and, therefore, is one of the most appropriate methods for biomonitoring of human DNA adducts. Most classes of carcinogens have been subjected to 32P-postlabelling analysis, ranging from bulky and/or aromatic compounds to small and/or aliphatic compounds; it has also been used, with modifications, to detect apurinic sites in DNA, oxidative damage to DNA, UV-induced photodimers and, to a lesser extent, DNA damage caused by cytotoxic drugs. It has been used in human biomonitoring studies to detect DNA damage from occupational exposure to carcinogens, and also from environmental (i.e. non-occupational) exposures. It has also led to the discovery of the presence of numerous modifications in DNA arising from endogenous processes. The principle of the method is the enzymatic digestion of DNA to nucleotides, 5'-labelling of these nucleotides with an isotopically labelled phosphate group, and the resolution, detection and quantitation of the labelled products. Since the development of the original procedure in the early 1980s, many methods have been developed to increase the sensitivity by enrichment of modified nucleotides prior to labelling. The review presents the individual 32P-postlabelling techniques (standard procedure, enrichment methods) and a critical evaluation of these assays, besides reviewing the applications of the method to different DNA modifications, and its utilization in human biomonitoring studies.

Abstract
Melanoma incidence has risen in many Caucasians populations over the last 20 years and research on the potential environmental and genetic risk factors has led to some interesting new findings but also to many more questions. The relationship between melanoma and ultraviolet radiation is complex and this area of research is controversial especially regarding the use of sunbeds and sunscreens. In terms of genetic factors, the discovery of two genes CDKN2A and CDK4 has been a great advance with more understanding of melanocyte biology in relation to defects in senescence. For phenotypic risk factors such as fair skin and high numbers of naevi, the role of genetic factors is clearly evident but these traits are complex and the discovery of genes involved in skin pigmentation and naevi formation is not an easy task. Research on the MC1R gene has not only shown the importance of this gene in hair and skin pigmentation but also in senescence and immunity. Functional studies involving CDKN2A and MC1R are leading to important new findings. There is also some hope regarding the use of micro-arrays in helping to dissect many genetic events in melanoma. The collection of large datasets including family, twin and case-control studies as well as tumour banks with collaborations between countries will hopefully lead to more discoveries. For the primary and secondary prevention of this tumour, efforts need to be sustained in public health campaigns on sun exposure and the recognition of individuals at high risk.

Abstract
We studied incidence trends, age-incidence relationships and familial risks in invasive and in situ cutaneous melanoma, based on the Swedish Family-Cancer Database of more than 10 million individuals. Offspring were 0-66 years of age. Cancers were obtained from the Swedish Cancer Registry from years 1961-98. The study was based on 9,771 offspring and 22,888 parents with invasive melanoma and 2,446 offspring and 5,017 parents with in situ melanoma. Incidence rates increased markedly for invasive melanoma in the trunk. For in situ melanoma, trunk and head and neck were affected, and, in addition, legs for women. The maximal incidence was around age 80 years, independent of the type or site in men; in women early onset superficially spreading melanoma shifted the age for maximal incidence to about 60 years. For in situ melanoma, lentigo maligna was the main histogenetic type in the head and neck but in the trunk and legs superficially spreading melanoma was somewhat more common. Standardized incidence ratios (SIR) were calculated for familial risk at exposed and covered sites. The combined familial risks for invasive and in situ melanoma were higher at covered (SIR 3.56 from parents) than sun-exposed (1.92 from parents) sites and they agreed when familiality was defined between parents and offspring or between siblings; the sibling SIRs were 3.90 at covered and 2.53 at exposed sites. The data suggest that the higher melanoma density at exposed sites masks familial effects. Furthermore, sun exposure does not appear to reinforce the familial effect.

Abstract
In this study we determined the effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the XPG gene on DNA repair and breast cancer susceptibility. Ninety individuals, with previously studied DNA repair rate at 24 hr of 2 types of UV-specific cyclobutane pyrimidines dimers (CPDs) in skin were genotyped for XPG polymorphism at codon 1104 (exon 15 G>C; Asp > His). The repair rate of TT=C dimer was similar in both wild-type GG homozygotes and GC heterozygotes, whereas, for TT=T, dimer repair was non-significantly (Student's t-test, p = 0.34) lower in GC heterozygotes than wild-type GG homozygotes. Genotyping of 220 breast cancer cases and 308 controls for the same single nucleotide polymorphism in exon 15 of the XPG gene exhibited marginally significant increased frequency of the variant allele (chi(2) 3.84, p = 0.05; OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.0-1.8) in cases (C-allele 0.29) compared to controls (C-allele 0.24). Combined heterozygote and variant homozygote genotype frequency was also higher in cases than controls (chi(2) 4.79, p = 0.03; OR 1.50, 95%CI 1.04-2.16).

Abstract
We studied familial risks in invasive and in situ cutaneous melanoma by comparing the occurrence of melanoma, or discordant cancer, between parents and offspring, and between siblings, based on the Swedish Family Cancer Database of over 10 million individuals. Offspring were 0-66 y of age. Cancers were obtained from the Swedish Cancer Registry from 1961 to 1998. The study was based on 24,818 invasive and 5510 in situ cases of melanoma. Standardized incidence ratios were calculated for familial risk. The standardized incidence ratios for offspring was 2.40 (95% confidence intervals: 2.10-2.72) when only the parent had melanoma and it was 2.98 (95% confidence intervals: 2.54-3.47) when only a sibling was affected; when both a parent and a sibling were affected the standardized incidence ratios was 8.92 (95% confidence intervals: 4.25-15.31). The respective population attributable risks were 1.38, 1.20, and 0.10%. The familial risk showed a clear age dependence and somewhat higher risk in in situ melanoma than in the invasive counterpart. The highest standardized incidence ratio of 61.78 (5.82-227.19) was noted for offspring whose parent had multiple melanomas. Superficially spreading melanoma showed the highest familial risk both among invasive and in situ tumors. Melanoma associated with breast, nervous system, and skin cancers, and in situ melanoma possibly also with connective tissue and thyroid tumors and multiple myeloma.

Abstract
The development of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) and its precursor lesions, melanocytic nevi, has been linked to sun exposure. Cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) are the majority of DNA lesions induced by sun exposure. In our study, we investigated if CMM patients have impaired ability to repair CPDs in skin as well as in melanocytic nevi. The repair kinetics were followed up to 3 weeks after exposure to 40 mJ/cm(2) of solar simulating radiation. Altogether 12 CMM patients and 10 healthy controls were included in our study. Buttock skin biopsies were taken at 0 hr, 48 hr and 3 weeks after UV exposure, whereas melanocytic nevi and surrounding skin biopsies were taken only at 0 hr and 3 weeks. The CPD levels were measured by a (32)P-postlabeling method. The results showed that the repair rate of CPDs in neither the skin nor the nevi was significantly different between the CMM patients and the control group. For both groups, the repair rate of TT = C was faster than that for TT = T. The important finding is that about 10% of the initial TT = T damage remained unrepaired after 3 weeks, and was detectable in normal epidermis as well as in nevi of all subjects. We also found that the amount of TT = C and TT = T at 0 hr in nevi was significantly lower than that in surrounding skin (Wilcoxon rank sum test, p < 0.05).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exposure to UV radiation is associated with cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM). In mammalian cells, UV radiation induces DNA damage that can be repaired by the nucleotide excision repair system. We designed this case-control study to determine whether DNA repair capacity (DRC) is associated with the risk of CMM and to identify risk factors that may interact biologically with DRC in the development of melanoma. METHODS Global DRC was measured in lymphocytes with the host-cell reactivation assay. Data were analyzed by use of multiple regression models. All statistical tests were two-sided. RESULTS DRC could be determined for 132 case patients with incident melanoma and for 145 age- and sex-matched control subjects. No statistically significant association between melanoma risk and DRC by itself was found (odds ratio [OR] = 1.0; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.6 to 1.7, adjusted for age, sex, lymphocyte viability, and sample storage time). DRC, however, strongly influenced CMM risk in individuals with a low tanning ability or dysplastic nevi. Individuals with a low tanning ability and a low DRC had a higher risk for CMM (OR = 8.6; 95% CI = 2.7 to 27.5) than individuals with a higher tanning ability and a high DRC. Likewise, individuals with dysplastic nevi and a low DRC had a higher relative risk (OR = 6.7; 95% CI = 2.4 to 18.6) than those lacking dysplastic nevi and having a high DRC. Subjects with dysplastic nevi and a high DRC had an intermediate risk. A likelihood-ratio test gave statistically significant interactions between DRC and tanning response (P =.001) and between DRC and dysplastic nevus status (P =.04), which were independently associated with CMM risk. CONCLUSIONS DRC may modify the risk for melanoma in the presence of other strong risk factors, such as a low tanning ability and the presence of dysplastic nevi. The occurrence of melanoma in subjects without these risk factors appears to be independent of DRC.

Abstract
Melanocytic nevi are localized benign proliferations of melanocytes. The number of nevi has been shown to be the major risk marker for the development of cutaneous melanoma. This study compares the induction of photoproducts in nevi and in surrounding skin after exposure to solar-simulating radiation. Cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (TT=T and TT=C) and 6-4 photoproducts (TT-T and TT-C) were measured in 20 nevi and 20 surrounding skin samples obtained from 14 subjects, using a 32P-postlabeling method. The amount of all four types of photoproducts in nevi was found to be 3-5-fold lower than that in surrounding skin, and the difference was statistically significant (paired t test, p < 0.01). In nevi, the photoproduct level was significantly associated with the color of nevi (the lowest level in the darkest color of nevi; r = -0.86, p < 0.01 for TT=T; r = -0.68, p < 0.01 for TT=C). Our findings suggest that the magnitude of the DNA damage is not a sole risk marker for the development of cutaneous melanoma.

Abstract
Cyclobutane thymidine dimer (T=T) is the major DNA photoproduct formed in human skin after solar radiation. We have developed a 32P-postlabeling method suitable for quantitating T=T in human urine with a detection limit of about 0.5 fmol per 10 microl urine. The method was used in the present study to measure the daily T=T urinary level of two volunteers over a 15 d period, including frequent sun exposures ranging from 0 to 5 h daily. T=T was not detected before or immediately (4 h) after the initial sun exposure but was first observed in urine samples collected 18 h after the initial exposure. Thereafter, urinary T=T levels gradually increased up to a peak reached about 3 d after the maximum sun exposure. The levels decreased during the following days but were still detectable 8 d after the last sun exposure. About 70-75% decrease in excreted T=T was observed after 8 d. The T=T levels measured in urine were lower but in the same order of magnitude as the levels expected after a theoretical calculation based on previous published results and reasonable assumptions. This study shows the occurrence of cyclobutane thymidine dimers in human urine after skin exposure to solar radiation.

Abstract
The 32P-postlabeling method was applied to measure directly the levels and repair rates of specific cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and 6-4 photoproducts in 10 basal cell carcinoma patients and 10 controls matched on age, skin type, and gender after exposure to 400 J per m2 of solar simulating radiation on previously unexposed buttock skin. The results showed an identical level of photoproducts at 0 h after solar simulating radiation in the basal cell carcinoma group and the control group. Erythemal response correlated with the repair of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers within 24 h in both groups, i.e., repair was faster in those with a strong erythemal reaction. The basal cell carcinoma patients showed a somewhat slower repair of photoproducts in skin compared with the controls, but the result was not significant. Photoproducts formed at the TTC sites were repaired faster than those at the TTT sites for both cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and 6-4 photoproducts in the basal cell carcinoma group and in the controls.
