Octyl Methoxycinnamate Modulates Gene Expression and Prevents Cyclobutane Pyrimidine Dimer Formation but not Oxidative DNA Damage in UV-Exposed Human Cell Lines

Abstract: Octyl methoxycinnamate (OMC) is one of the most widely used sunscreen ingredients. To analyze biological effects of OMC, an in vitro approach was used implying ultraviolet (UV) exposure of two human cell lines, a primary skin fibroblast (GM00498) and a breast cancer (MCF-7) cell lines. End points include cell viability assessment, assay of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and oxidated DNA lesions using alkaline elution and lesion-specific enzymes, and gene expression analysis of a panel of 17 DNA damage–re… Show more

“…As far as tumor induction and genotoxicity are concerned, evaluation of the prevention against DNA damage appears thus as an interesting parameter in addition to SPF and PPD. Evidence for DNA protection afforded by sunscreens has been gained from studies on several models including mice (10) and cultured cells (11,12) while more relevant data were acquired on human skin either in volunteers or ex vivo (13–19). All data unambiguously show that sunscreens afford protection against DNA damage, usually revealed by the reduced level of pyrimidine dimers measured by immunological approaches.…”
