In recent years, interest is growing in the biological cutaneous effects of high-energy visible light (400-450 nm). In the present study, we explored the impact of blue light (BL) on the repair of pyrimidine dimers, the major class of premutagenic DNA damage induced by exposure to sunlight. We unambiguously demonstrate that the exposure of in vitro reconstructed human epidermis to environmentally relevant doses of BL strongly decreases the rate of repair of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone photoproducts induced by a subsequent UVB irradiation. Using the highly sensitive and specific liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay, we did not observe induction of pyrimidine dimers by BL alone. Finally, we showed that application, during the BL exposure step, of a formula containing a new filter, named TriAsorB and affording BL photoprotection, prevented the decrease in DNA repair efficiency. These results emphasize the potential deleterious effects of BL on DNA repair and the interest in providing adequate skin protection against this wavelength range of sunlight.

Background/objective: Ultraviolet (UV) B radiation leads to DNA damage by generating cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs). UVB-induced CPDs can also result in immune suppression, which is a major risk factor for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). UVB-induced CPDs are repaired by nucleotide repair mechanisms (NER) mediated by xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A (XPA).

UVB radiation induces DNA damage generating several thymine photo-adducts (TDPs), which can lead to mutations and cellular transformation. The DNA repair pathways preserve genomic stability by recognizing and removing photodamage. These DNA repair side products may affect cellular processes.

It is known that CPD repair rates vary in different genome regions due to transcription-coupled NER and differences in chromatin accessibility; however, the impact of regional chromatin organization on CPD formation remains unclear. Furthermore, nucleosomes are known to modulate UV damage and repair activity, but how these damage and repair patterns are affected by the overarching chromatin domains in which these nucleosomes are located is not understood.

Solar ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation-induced DNA damage is a well-known initiator of skin carcinomas. The UVB-induced DNA damage response (DDR) involves series of signaling cascades that are activated to maintain cell integrity. Among the different biological processes, little is known about the role of energy metabolism in the DDR.

In this review, we compare the mechanisms and consequences of electronic excitation of DNA via photon absorption or photosensitization, as well as by chemically induced generation of excited states. The absorption of UV radiation by DNA is known to produce cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and thymine pyrimidone photoproducts. Photosensitizers are known to enable such transformations using UV-A and visible light by generating triplet species able to transfer energy to DNA.
