Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is the primary environmental insult responsible for the development of most common skin cancers. To better understand the multiple molecular events that contribute to the development of UV-induced skin cancer, in a first study, serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) was used to compare the global gene expression profiles of normal SKH-1 mice epidermis with that of UV-induced squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) from SKH-1 mice. More than 200 genes were found to be differentially expressed in SCCs compared to normal skin (P < 0.0005 level of significance). As expected, genes related to epidermal proliferation and differentiation were deregulated in SCCs relative to normal skin. However, various novel genes, not previously associated with skin carcinogenesis, were also identified as deregulated in SCCs. Northern blot analyses on various selected genes validated the SAGE findings: caspase-14 (reduced 8.5-fold in SCCs); cathepsins D and S (reduced 3-fold and increased 11.3-fold, respectively, in SCCs); decorin, glutathione S-transferase omega-1, hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha, insulin-like growth factor binding protein-7, and matrix metalloproteinase-13 (increased 18-, 12-, 12-, 18.3-, and 11-folds, respectively, in SCCs). Chemokine (C-C motif), ligand 27 (CCL27), which was found downregulated 12.7-fold in SCCs by SAGE, was also observed to be strongly downregulated 6-24 h after a single and multiple UV treatments. In a second independent study we compared the expression profile of UV-irradiated versus sham-treated SKH-1 epidermis. Interestingly, numerous genes determined to be deregulated 8 h after a single UV dose were also deregulated in SCCs. For instance, genes whose expression was upregulated both after acute UV-treated skin and SCCs included keratins 6 and 16, small proline-rich proteins, and S100 calcium binding protein A9. Studies like those described here do not only provide insights into genes and pathways involved in skin carcinogenesis but also allow us to identify early UV irradiation deregulated surrogate biomarkers of potential use in chemoprevention studies.
