The local UV irradiation technique enables detection, kinetic measurements of recruitment, and quantification of DNA Damage Response (DDR) proteins at the site of UV-induced DNA damage.Using Isopore filters with high density pores of a broad range of sizes, it is possible to UV irradiate and damage only a very small portion of the nucleus of a cell by letting UV light pass only through the pores. Immunofluorescent analyses of modified DNA nucleotides, proteins, or fluorescently tagged versions of target factors can be used as markers to label and study UV-induced lesions and their repair.

Characteristic patterns of UV-induced skin autofluorescence were determined for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and associated with dysmetabolic alterations, such as nonenzymatic protein glycation, an increase in extracellular matrix stiffness, impaired metabolism of tissue fluorophores, mitochondrial dysfunction, and accumulation of aberrant proteins. Key differences in skin autofluorescence spectra were for the first time observed in PD, making it possible to discriminate between PD patients and healthy persons or individuals without signs of chronic neurodegeneration. Namely, skin fluorescence related to the reflected signal upon excitation with UV light at 375 nm was lower in PD patients.

Introduction: Inflammasomes NLRP1 (NLR family pyrin domain containing 1) and NLRP3 are pivotal regulators of the innate immune response, activated by a spectrum of endogenous and exogenous stressors, including ultraviolet radiation (UVR). The precise molecular mechanisms underlying the activation of these inflammasomes remain unclear. Furthermore, the involvement of interleukin-33 (IL-33) in UVR-induced skin carcinogenesis is not well defined.
