We demonstrate here that a relative low dose of perifosine significantly enhanced UVB-induced apoptosis in skin cells (keratinocytes and fibroblasts), associated with a significant increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ceramide production as well as multiple perturbations of diverse cell signaling pathways, shifting to a significant pro-apoptosis outcomes. Perifosine inhibited UVB-induced pro-survival Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and ERK activation, while facilitating pro-apoptotic AMP-activated protein kinas (AMPK), c-Jun-NH(2)-kinase (JNK), and p53 activation; these signaling changes together promoted a striking increase in skin cell apoptosis and a significantly reduced amount of DNA damages. Our results suggest that perifosine may represent a novel skin cancer prevention strategy.

Allicin is a sulfide extracted from garlic bulbs responsible for various physiological and pathophysiological effects, including antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-parasite activities. However, its efficacy and mechanism of protecting UVB-induced photodamage have not been studied. The research explores Allicin's protective roles and underlying mechanisms in UVB-induced photodamage of keratinocytes.

To find new antioxidants, 13 Trolox amides (2a-2m) and 7 Trolox esters (3a-3g) were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. Compounds 2e, 2i, 3b and 3d showed potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity, amongst them, 3d demonstrated the most photoprotective effects on UVB-irradiated human skin keratinocyte (HaCaT) cells (IC = 5.13 µM) through efficiently scavenging free radicals and dose-dependently reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptosis generation, as well as effectively promoting wound healing.

Karyoptosis is a type of regulated cell death (RCD) characterized by explosive nuclear rupture caused by a loss of nuclear membrane integrity, resulting in the release of genomic DNA and other nuclear components into the cytosol and extracellular environment. The mechanism underlying karyoptosis involves a delicate balance between the following forces: the expansion force exerted by the tightly packed DNA in the nucleus, the resistance provided by the nuclear lamina at the inner nuclear membrane (INM), and the tensile force from the cytoskeleton that helps position the nucleus at the center of the cytoplasm, allowing it to remain maximally expanded. In addition, CREB3, a type II integral membrane protein with DNA-binding ability, tethers chromatin to the INM, providing a tightening force through chromatin interactions that prevent nuclear membrane rupture.

Solar UVB light causes damage to the outermost layer of skin. This insult induces rapid local responses, such as dermal inflammation, keratinocyte cell death, and epidermal thickening, all of which have traditionally been associated with DNA damage response signaling. Another stress response that is activated by UVB light is the ribotoxic stress response (RSR), which depends on the ribosome-associated mitogen-activated protein 3 kinases (MAP3K) ZAKα and culminates in p38 and JNK activation.
