The concurrent impact of repeated low-level summer sunlight exposures on vitamin D production and cutaneous DNA damage, potentially leading to mutagenesis and skin cancer, is unknown.
This is an experimental study (i) to determine the dual impact of repeated low-level sunlight exposures on vitamin D status and DNA damage/repair (via both skin and urinary biomarkers) in light-skinned adults; and (ii) to compare outcomes following the same exposures in brown-skinned adults.
Ten white (phototype II) and six South Asian volunteers (phototype V), aged 23-59 years, received 6 weeks' simulated summer sunlight exposures (95% ultraviolet A/5% ultraviolet B, 1·3 standard erythemal doses three times weekly) wearing summer clothing exposing ~35% body surface area. Assessments made were circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], immunohistochemistry for cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD)-positive nuclei and urinary biomarkers of direct and oxidative (8-oxo-deoxyguanosine) DNA damage.
Serum 25(OH)D rose from mean 36·5 ± 13·0 to 54·3 ± 10·5 nmol L (14·6 ± 5·2 to 21·7 ± 4·2 ng mL ) in phototype II vs. 17·2 ± 6·3 to 25·5 ± 9·5 nmol L (6·9 ± 2·5 to 10·2 ± 3·8 ng mL ) in phototype V (P < 0·05). Phototype II skin showed CPD-positive nuclei immediately postcourse, mean 44% (range 27-84) cleared after 24 h, contrasting with minimal DNA damage and full clearance in phototype V (P < 0·001). The findings did not differ from those following single ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure. Urinary CPDs remained below the detection threshold in both groups; 8-oxo-deoxyguanosine was higher in phototype II than V (P = 0·002), but was unaffected by UVR.
Low-dose summer sunlight exposures confer vitamin D sufficiency in light-skinned people concurrently with low-level, nonaccumulating DNA damage. The same exposures produce minimal DNA damage but less vitamin D in brown-skinned people. This informs tailoring of sun-exposure policies.
夏季反复低强度阳光照射对维生素D生成和皮肤DNA损伤的同时影响尚不清楚,这可能会导致诱变和皮肤癌。
本实验研究旨在:(i)确定反复低强度阳光照射对浅肤色成年人维生素D状态和DNA损伤/修复(通过皮肤和尿液生物标志物)的双重影响;(ii)比较深肤色成年人相同照射后的结果。
10名年龄在23 - 59岁的白人(II型光皮肤型)和6名南亚志愿者(V型光皮肤型),穿着夏季服装,暴露约35%的体表面积,接受为期6周的模拟夏季阳光照射(95%紫外线A/5%紫外线B,每周3次,每次1.3标准红斑剂量)。评估指标包括循环25-羟基维生素D [25(OH)D]、环丁烷嘧啶二聚体(CPD)阳性细胞核的免疫组织化学检测以及直接和氧化(8-氧代脱氧鸟苷)DNA损伤的尿液生物标志物。
II型光皮肤型血清25(OH)D从平均36.5±13.0 nmol/L(14.6±5.2 ng/mL)升至54.3±10.5 nmol/L(21.7±4.2 ng/mL),而V型光皮肤型从17.2±6.3 nmol/L(6.9±2.5 ng/mL)升至25.5±9.5 nmol/L(10.2±3.8 ng/mL)(P < 0.05)。II型光皮肤型皮肤在照射后立即出现CPD阳性细胞核,24小时后平均清除率为44%(范围27 - 84),而V型光皮肤型DNA损伤最小且完全清除(P < 0.001)。这些结果与单次紫外线辐射(UVR)照射后的结果无差异。两组尿液CPD均低于检测阈值;II型光皮肤型的8-氧代脱氧鸟苷高于V型光皮肤型(P = 0.002),但不受UVR影响。
低剂量夏季阳光照射可使浅肤色人群获得充足的维生素D,同时伴有低水平、无累积的DNA损伤。相同照射对深肤色人群产生的DNA损伤最小,但维生素D生成较少。这为制定日晒政策提供了依据。
