BackgroundLong-term ultraviolet A (UVA) eye irradiation decreases memory and learning ability in mice. However, the underlying mechanism is still unclear.ObjectivesIn this study, ICR mice were used to study the effects of long-term UVA eye irradiation.MethodsThe eyes of mice were exposed to UVA from an FL20SBLB-A lamp three times a week for 1 year. Then, we analyzed memory and learning ability in the mice using water maze and step-through passive avoidance tests, and measured the levels of p53, Period2 (Per2), Clock, brain and muscle Arnt-like protein-1 (Bmal1), nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase (NMNAT) activity, nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) activity, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), and sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) in the brains of treated and control animals.ResultsThe results showed that the p53 level increased significantly following long-term UVA eye irradiation, whereas the levels of Period2, Bmal1, Clock, NMNAT and NAMPT activities, NAD+, and Sirt1 decreased significantly. Furthermore, we found that p53 inhibition ameliorated the UVA eye irradiation-induced depression of memory and learning ability.ConclusionThese results indicate that long-term UVA eye irradiation stimulates p53, inhibits the clock gene, and reduces Sirt1 production in the NAD+constructional system, resulting in reduced memory and learning ability.Graphic abstract
