• Inflammation Due to Voriconazole-induced Photosensitivity Enhanced Skin Phototumorigenesis in Xpa-knockout Mice.Voriconazole is an antifungal agent and used as a prophylactic measure, especially in immunocompromised patients. However, there have been several reports of its adverse reactions, namely photosensitivity with intense inflammatory rashes and subsequent skin cancer development. To assess the effects of photosensitizing drugs voriconazole and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) on the enhancement of UV-induced inflammatory responses and UV-induced tumorigenesis, we utilized Xpa-knockout mice, which is DNA repair-deficient and more susceptible to UV-induced inflammation and tumor development than wild-type mice. Administration of voriconazole prior to broadband UVB exposure significantly upregulated multiple inflammatory cytokines compared with the vehicle- or HCTZ-administered groups. Voriconazole administration along with chronic UVB exposure produced significantly higher number of skin tumors than HCTZ or vehicle in Xpa-knockout mice. Furthermore, the investigation of UVB-induced DNA damage using embryonic fibroblasts of Xpa-knockout mice revealed a significantly higher 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine level in cells treated with voriconazole N-oxide, a voriconazole-metabolite during UV exposure. The data suggest that voriconazole plus UVB-induced inflammatory response may be related to voriconazole-induced skin phototumorigenesis.
• Evaluation of Acute Reactions on Mouse Skin Irradiated with 222 and 235 nm UV-C.Biological response and DNA damage following irradiation with shorter wavelengths in the UV-C range were evaluated to investigate the safety at three wavelengths because of the recent emergence of germicidal equipment emitting short-wavelength UV-C for various purposes, including medical uses. To estimate an acceptable safety dose for human skin in the UV-C range, especially short UV-C, we studied the biological effects of 207, 222 and 235 nm UV-C using albino hairless mice and evaluated the inflammatory reactions in the skin. To explore an appropriate indicator to evaluate the biological response, we employed determination of the minimal perceptible response dose (MPRD), by which any subtle cutaneous response; erythema, edema and scale could be observed by visual inspection. Erythema was rarely observed, but edema and scale formation were evident for short UV-C wavelengths. The MPRD at 207, 222 and 235 nm was determined to be > 15, 15 and 2.0 kJ m-2 , respectively. These values could be thresholds and indicators for possible safety assessments. Our data suggest that the current human exposure limits for short UV-C wavelengths below 254 nm are overly restrictive and should be reconsidered for future disinfection lamps with short UV-C wavelengths.
