Aspirin is under consideration as a promising chemopreventative agent for human cancers, To study the use fulness of aspirin as a chemopreventative agent for UV-induced human skin cancer, we investigated the effect of aspirin on UVB induced activator protein-1 (AP-1) activity, In the JB6 cell culture system, aspirin or sodium salicylate (SA) inhibited UVB-induced AP-1 activity in a dose-dependent manner; this inhibitory effect occurred only in cells pretreated with aspirin or SA before UVB irradiation but not cells treated with aspirin or SA after UVB irradiation. Furthermore, these inhibitory effects on UVB-induced AP-1 activity appeared to be mediated through blocking of activation of MAP kinase family members, including extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases, c-Jun N-terminal kinases, and p38, It was not due to absorption of UVB light by aspirin, In the skin of AP-l-luciferase transgenic mice, UVB irradiation induced a rapid increase in AP-1 activity, which reached the peak at 48 h post-UVB irradiation, The topical pretreatment of mouse skin with aspirin markedly blocked the UVB induced AP-1 transactivation in vivo, These data provide the first evidence that aspirin and SA are inhibitors of W-induced signal transduction and thus could be used as a chemopreventative agent for skin cancer.
