- Intermittent UVA irradiation-induces cell injury in HaCaT keratinocytes.
- C60/PVP, a persistent antioxidant, protects against intermittent UVA-induced injury.
- Cytoprotective effect of C60/PVP is superior to typical antioxidants APS and α-Toc.
- C60/PVP suppresses cellular ROS, chromatin condensation, and caspase-3/7 activation.
To identify compounds that suppress UV irradiation-induced oxidative stress in the skin, various types of antioxidants have been studied. Polyvinylpyrrolidone-entrapped fullerene (C60/PVP) is known as a powerful antioxidant that exerts a cytoprotective effect against UV irradiation-induced cell injury in human skin cells and skin models. However, the effects of the alternate attractive C60/PVP feature, persistent antioxidant ability, on cytoprotection have rarely been ascertained. In this study we therefore investigated the efficacies of C60/PVP using an intermittently repeated UVA irradiation model wherein human keratinocytes were repeatedly exposed to UVA five times every 1 h and compared the cytoprotective effects with those provided by ascorbic acid-2-O-phosphate-disodium salt (APS) and α-tocopherol (α-Toc). Our results demonstrated that C60/PVP yielded prominent cytoprotective effects against intermittently repeated UVA irradiation-induced injuries in a dose-dependent manner and suppressed intracellular superoxide anion radical (O2â) generation both during and after the repeated UVA irradiation. Additionally, C60/PVP also repressed the intermittent UVA irradiation-induced apoptosis via suppression of chromatin condensation and caspase-3/7 activation. Furthermore, the observed cytoprotective effects were superior to the effects of the typical antioxidants APS and α-Toc. These data suggest that C60/PVP might function as a potent cosmetic antioxidant against the effects of repeated and prolonged UVA irradiation through its persistent antioxidative property.
