AI Article Synopsis

  • Photoaging refers to early skin aging caused by excessive exposure to UV radiation, leading to changes in gene expression.
  • This study used bioinformatics to analyze gene expression alterations in neonatal dermal fibroblasts after simulated UV exposure, utilizing data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO).
  • Out of 224 identified differentially expressed genes, 20 central genes with significant roles were discovered, indicating that gene expression varied notably after 1 and 5 days of recovery, providing insights for potential drug targets to mitigate UV-induced skin damage.

Article Abstract

Photoaging that is accompanied by gene expression alteration is known as early aging of the skin due to overexposure to natural and/or artificial ultraviolet radiation (UVR). The assessment of gene expression alteration in human primary neonatal dermal fibroblasts depending on recovery time after exposure to solar simulated ultraviolet radiation (ssUVR) is the main aim of this bioinformatic study. Data are extracted from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). The pre-evaluation is done via the GEO2R program. The Significant differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were assessed via protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis, and the central genes were identified. The central genes were enriched via gene ontology assessment. Among 224 significant DEGs, 20 central genes including TOP2A, MKI67, BRCA1, HELLS, MAD2L1, ANLN, KIF11, MSH2, KRAS, NCAPG, RFC3, PLK4, WDHD1, BLM, CDKN3, KIF15, SMARCA5, and ATAD2 as hub genes and TOP2A, MKI67, BRCA1, ANLN, KRAS, PLK4, SMARCA5, MMP2, and TLR4 as bottleneck genes were determined. Eight central genes were associated with 16 biological terms. In conclusion, significant differences appeared between gene expression conditions of the cells after 1-day and 5-day recovery. Molecular events include the repair and continuation of photodamages. It is possible to introduce drug targets to prevent the progress of induced damages.
