Probe or probe set for evaluating influence of ultraviolet ray on skin and nucleic acid microarray
A probe or a probe set for evaluating influence of ultraviolet ray on the skin, which includes nucleic acids of (a), (b) or (c): (a) Nucleic acids including a base sequence constituting at least one kind of gene selected from the group consisting of GBA, GLB1, CAT, OLFM1, ASAH1, MMP14, MMP17 and COL18A1, (b) Nucleic acids including a base sequence complementary to the nucleic acids of aforesaid (a); (c) Nucleic acids which hybridize with nucleic acids including a base sequence complementary to the nucleic acids of aforesaid (a) or (b) under stringent conditions, and can detect a skin constitution-related gene.
1. A method of detecting a change of an expression amount of a skin constitution-related gene due to ultraviolet ray irradiation, comprising:
irradiating the skin or a skin culture cell with an ultraviolet ray;
measuring an expression amount of a skin constitution-related gene in the skin or the skin culture cell irradiated by the ultraviolet ray using a probe or a probe set comprising at least one of a nucleic acid of (iii) and (iv):
(iii) a nucleic acid comprising all base sequences of SEQ ID NOS: 1 to 130;
(iv) a nucleic acid comprising all base sequences of SEQ ID NOS: 131 to 257; and
detecting a difference between the measured expression amount of the skin constitution-related gene and an expression amount of the skin constitution-related gene in the skin or a skin culture cell not irradiated by the ultraviolet ray.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein, in the measuring, the expression amount of at least one gene selected from the group consisting of GBA, GLB1, CAT, OLFM1, ASAHL MMP14, MMP17 and COL18A1, is measured.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein, in the measuring, the expression amount of at least one gene selected from the group consisting of GBA, GLB1, CAT, OLFM1 and ASAHL and at least one gene selected from the group consisting of MMP14, MMP17 and COL18A1, is measured.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the probe or the probe set is immobilized on a support to form a nucleic acid microarray comprising the probe or the probe set.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ultraviolet ray is UVB.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the skin or the skin culture cell is irradiated with the ultraviolet ray for at least 38 hours.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the skin or the skin culture cell is irradiated with the ultraviolet ray for at least 38 hours.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein, in the irradiating, the skin is irradiated with the ultraviolet ray.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein, in the irradiating, a skin culture cell is irradiated with the ultraviolet ray.
