UV radiation induces the formation of adducts in genomic DNA within cells that are later found to be present in cell-free fractions associated with extracellular vesicles (EVs) outside of cells. Here, we present a protocol for isolating UV photoproducts in extracellular DNA released from UVB-irradiated cells via differential centrifugation. We then detail steps for monitoring the DNA adducts using DNA immunoblotting. This protocol can be applied for detection of DNA adducts in EVs from cell culture and skin explant models. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Carpenter et al..

Photoactivated chemotherapy agents form a new branch of physically targeted anticancer agents with potentially lower systemic side effects for patients. On the other hand, limited information exists on the intracellular interactions between the photoreleased metal cage and the photoreleased anticancer inhibitor. In this work, we report a new biological study of the known photoactivated compound in the glioblastoma cancer cell line, U87MG.

Nucleic acids, lipids, and other cell components can be found within different types of extracellular vesicles (EVs), which include apoptotic bodies (ABs), large extracellular vesicles (LEVs), and small extracellular vesicles (SEVs). Release of LEVs from cells can be reduced by genetic or pharmacological inhibition of the enzyme acid sphinogomyelinase (aSMase), and indeed several studies have demonstrated a role for the clinically approved aSMase inhibitor imipramine in blocking LEV release, including in response to UVB exposure. Given that exposure of keratinocytes to UVB radiation results in the generation of UVR photoproducts in DNA that can subsequently be found in association with ABs and SEVs, we examined how imipramine impacts the release of extracellular DNA containing UVR photoproducts at an early time point after UVR exposure.

Sunlight transforms plastic into water-soluble products, the potential toxicity of which remains unresolved, particularly for vertebrate animals. We evaluated acute toxicity and gene expression in developing zebrafish larvae after 5 days of exposure to photoproduced (P) and dark (D) leachates from additive-free polyethylene (PE) film and consumer-grade, additive-containing, conventional, and recycled PE bags. Using a "worst-case" scenario, with plastic concentrations exceeding those found in natural waters, we observed no acute toxicity.

Solar radiation induces the formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and other UV photoproducts in the genomic DNA of epidermal keratinocytes. Although CPDs have been detected in urine from UV- and sun-exposed individuals, the pathway by which they arrive there and the mechanisms by which UV-induced DNA damage in the skin has systemic effects throughout the body are not clear. Consistent with previous reports that DNA associates with small extracellular vesicles that are released from a variety of cell types, we observed that a small fraction of CPDs formed in genomic DNA after UVB exposure can later be detected in the culture medium.
