The biological effectiveness of thymine-thymine cyclobutane dimers specifically induced by photosensitized ultraviolet-B irradiation was analyzed by host-cell reactivation of triplet-sensitized, UV-B irradiated plasmid pRSV beta gal DNA transfected into normal and repair-deficient Chinese hamster ovary cells. For comparison, pRSV beta gal DNA was also UV-C irradiated and transfected into the same cell lines. Ultraviolet endonuclease-sensitive site induction was determined after UV-C irradiation or acetophenone-sensitized UV-B irradiation of plasmid pRSV beta gal DNA. These data were used to calculate the number of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers required to inactivate expression of the lacZ reporter gene in each irradiation condition. Transfection with UV-C-irradiated plasmid DNA resulted in a significantly greater reduction of reporter gene expression than did transfection with acetophenone-sensitized UV-B-irradiated pRSV beta gal DNA at equivalent induction of enzyme-sensitive sites. Since only a fraction of the inhibition could be accounted for by noncyclobutane dimer photoproducts, these results suggest that cytosine-containing pyrimidine cyclobutane dimers may be more effective than thymine-thymine dimers in inhibiting transient gene expression as measured in such host-cell reactivation experiments in mammalian cells.
