Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 3. Expression of continuously up-regulated genes after UVB expo- sure. A: Four genes were significantly up-regulated at both 3 and 24 hours after UVB exposure. Relative expression levels were determined by real-time quantitative PCR. Each of the two groups of RNAs isolated from wild-type and Ogg1 knockout mice was assayed in duplicate. Reactions were normal- ized to GAPDH expression levels. *P 0.05; **P 0.01; and ***P 0.001. B: Immunohistochemical study of versican expression after UVB irradiation. Versican is barely expressed in the wild-type mouse epidermis and dermis in the absence of UVB irradiation. At 24 hours after UVB exposure, versican was expressed in the wild-type epidermis. In Ogg1 knockout mice at 24 hours, versican was strongly expressed in the epidermis (arrowheads), as well as in dermal fibroblasts (arrows). Positive signals are seen as reddish-brown deposits produced on reaction with the 3-amino-9-ethylcarbazole substrate. Scale bar 30 m. C: Versican expression after UVB exposure, as deter- mined by Western blotting. Versican was more strongly up-regulated in Ogg1 knockout than in wild-type mice at 24 and 48 hours after UVB exposure. This up-regulation was time-dependent. The band at approximately 75 kDa indi- cates that the antibody for versican can detect the V1 isoform. /-Tubulin was used as the loading control. Data are representative of three separate determinations.

A: Immunohistochemical study of versican expression in malignant (lentigo maligna melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma) and benign (seborrheic keratosis and lentigo senilis) tumors. Arrowheads indicate the borders between the seborrheic keratosis tumor and the normal skin. Scale bar 100 m.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 7. Proposed relationships of versican in the inflammatory response leading to the development of skin tumors in terms of UVB-induced 8-oxoG accumulation. The accumulation of UVB/ROS-induced 8-oxoG in the skin leads to inflammatory reactions. High versican expression is induced by a highly inflammatory microenvironment with high numbers of infiltrated neu- trophils; conversely, neutrophil infiltration induces versican overexpression. More ROS will be generated at the inflammatory sites by neutrophils.

Versican is strongly expressed in the dermal components (arrows) and inflammatory cells (arrowheads), seen at low magnification (left) and high magnification (right). Two focused areas are taken from different part of sections. Inflammatory cells, especially seg- mented leukocytes (neutrophils) (arrowheads), were strongly positive for versican. Scale bars 30 m.

Arrows indicate Gr-1-positive cells (green) in the dermis at 24 and 48 hours after UVB exposure in the wild-type and Ogg1 knockout mice. Scale bar 30 m. The accompanying graphs show the average number of neutrophils per 800 m2
