Ultraviolet (UV) radiation-induced immunosuppression has been implicated in the development of skin cancers. As oral administration of green tea polyphenols (GTPs) in drinking water prevents photocarcinogenesis in mice, we studied whether administration of GTPs in drinking water of mice (0.1-0.5%, w/v) prevents UV-induced immunosuppression, and determined the possible mechanism of action of GTPs. We observed that GTPs (0.2 and 0.5%, w/v) prevented UV-induced suppression of contact hypersensitivity (CHS) response to a contact sensitizer in local (58-62%, p<0.001) and systemic (51-55%, p<0.005) models of CHS. GTPs (0.2%, w/v) repaired UV-induced DNA damage faster in the skin of mice as demonstrated by reduced number of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD)-positive cells (59%, p<0.001), and reduced the migration of CPD-positive cells (2-fold) from the skin to draining lymph nodes, which was associated with the elevated levels of nucleotide excision repair (NER) genes. GTPs did not prevent UV-induced immunosuppression in NER-deficient mice but significantly prevented in NER-proficient mice (p<0.001) concomitantly repaired UV-induced DNA damage in NER-proficient mice (p<0.001) but not in NER-deficient mice as indicated by immunohistochemical analysis of CPD-positive cells. Southwestern dot-blot analysis revealed that GTPs repaired UV-induced CPD in xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A (XPA)-proficient cells obtained from healthy person but did not repair in XPA-deficient cells obtained from the patients suffering from XPA, indicating that NER mechanism is involved in DNA repair. These data identify a noble mechanism by which drinking GTPs prevent UV-induced immunosuppression, and this may contribute to the chemopreventive activity of GTPs in prevention of photocarcinogenesis.
