Biological Perspectives of Aging Skin • Aging skin is a cumulative process • Consequence of genetically programmed decreases in functional capacity • Loss of ability to repair damage
Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Aging Skin at Age 100 Intrinsic Aging Extrinsic Aging
Intrinsic Aging • Clinical, histologic, and physiologic changes in sun-protectedskin of older adults
Causes of Intrinsic Aging • Genetic Programming and Replicative Senescence • Hormonal Effects • Mitochondrial Leakage
Telomeres • The terminal sequence of chromosomal DNA • Approx. 10,000 base pairs that shorten to around 6,000 -7,000 base pairs with age • Composed of a repeating base pair sequence of TTAGGG which form a loop structure which caps the end of DNA strands • Without telomeres you get cross DNA fusion, mutations and cell death
Telomere Shortening • Critically short telomere lengths cause cells to go into a senescent state • When a critical length is reached the cell stops dividing after 50 – 60 cell replication cycles - nothing is capable of stimulating the cell to divide at that point (Greider & Blackburn. Cell, 1985)
Telomeres shorten with age (50-150 bp/mitosis) in vitro and in vivo1,2,3 Telomere length correlates with longevity in persons > 60 years old4,5 Werner syndrome, progeria, progeria-like syndromes are characterized by short telomeres Evidence for Telomeres and Aging • 1.

The Role of Telomerase • Telomerase is the enzyme complex responsible for lengthening telomeres by adding TTAGGG sequences to the DNA • Telomerase is expressed in germline cells, stem cells and >90% of malignant cells1 • Telomerase is also expressed transiently in S phase in normal cells2 • Telomerase is intermittently active in normal somatic cells. • Telomerase slows but doesnotprevent telomere shortening 1.Karlseder et al, Science 1998; 2.Masutomi et al. Cell, 2003)
Extrinsic Aging (Photoaging) • Clinical, histologic, and physiologic changes in habitually sun-exposed skin of older adults
Causes of Extrinsic Aging • Sunlight exposure • Environmental pollution (smog, ozone, NO2) • Smoking: 10,000,000,000,000,000 free radicals/cigarette

Histology of Aging and Photoaging UP TO 80% OF THE DAMAGE ON AN AGING FACE CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO PHOTODAMAGE • Young Skin • Healthy organized • epidermis • Normal dermal matrix • Intrinsic Aging • Thin disorganized epiderm. • Collagen: Irregular, • disorganized , synthesis • Loss of elasticity, • firmness • Fragile skin Photodamage Elastin tissue: but amorphous, coarse bundles (solar elastosis) Dermal matrix: GAG but disorganized/dec.fcn Loss of elasticity Hyperpigmentation Immune fcn.

Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Aging: Skin Appearance vs. Function Intrinsic Aging • Less effect on appearance • More effect on cellular function i.e. dysfunction Extrinsic “Photoaging” • Greater effect on appearance • Accelerates loss of cellular and immune function of immune function • Carcinogenesis
UV Spectrum and DNA Damage UVC 200 – 290 nm (Filtered out by our ozone) DNA Strand Breaks Prymidine Dimers Prymidine Photoadducts UVB 290 – 320 nm Prymidine Dimers Photodynamic Actions (ROS – Reactive Oxygen Species Production) UVA 320 -400 nm Photodynamic Actions (ROS) Photosensitization reactions ( Protein and DNA cross- linking, DNA -photosensitizer photo-adducts)
UVB’s “Fingerprint Mutation” UVB causes a very specific type of “fingerprint mutation “* carried thru subsequent cell divisions *UVB causes a mutation in which cytosine (C) is changed to thymidine (T) (C -> T transversion) or when two cytosines are adjacent to two thymidines (CC -> T T transversion) There is no other carcinogenic agent that can cause this pattern of mutations UV radiation is unique in that it functions as both initiator and promoter in carcinogenesis
“UVA Signature” via ROS • UVA generated ROS cause oxidation of DNA guanosine nucleotides to form the “UVA signature” adduct, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2 –deoxyguanosine. • UVA is also capable of generating “UVB signature” CPDs in cultured cells and human skin in vivo. “UVA Signature”
Sunburn: Ultraviolet A and B Factoids • UVB @295nm is 1250 times more erythemogenic (sun burning) than UVA @365nm • More UVA photons reach the earth’s atmosphere (10 – 100x) than UVB

Direct, Indirect & Reflected UV INDIRECT DIRECT REFLECTED
SUMMARY • Diffuse “Indirect” radiation: • Approx. 80% of the annual UV exposure • Significant levels measured on cloudy days • Direct radiation: • 15 – 24% annual UV dose • Occurred mostly during peak summer hours • Reflected radiation: • Negligible • Increased on cloudless days with surface reflector (eg. snow)
Nationwide Public Awareness Programs • Promote the importance of using sunscreens, UV protective clothing, broad brimmed hats, sunglasses, umbrellas as well as sun avoidance during hours of peak UV exposure • Demonstrated effectiveness in stabilizing NMSC1and reducing the incidence of melanoma 2in Australia. 1.

Not Addressed by the FDA Monograph • Whether to limit package labeling of sunscreens with > SPF 50 to SPF 50+ • Protocols for dealing with spray sunscreens ie the SPF in the bottle does not translate after spraying into the SPF on the skin
