The role of photochemical transformations of tetrahydrobiopterin in the pathogenesis and phototherapy of vitiligo

XIV International Conference on Pulsed Lasers and Laser Applications, 2019

Melanogenesis disorder leads to several pathologies, including vitiligo. Tetrahydrobiopterin (H4B... more Melanogenesis disorder leads to several pathologies, including vitiligo. Tetrahydrobiopterin (H4Bip) as the phenylalanine 4-hydroxylase coenzyme catalyzes the oxidation of phenylalanine to tyrosine (a melanin precursor). H4Bip is easily oxidized by oxygen in vivo and in vitro. Vitiligo is accompanied by three-fivefold increased de-novo synthesis of H4Bip, its excess and its further oxidation are essential factors in the pathogenesis of vitiligo. We have demonstrated that pterin products of H4Bip autoxidation (dihydropterin (H2Ptr), dihydroxanthopterin and pterin) predominate over biopterin products (dihydrobiopterin (H2Bip) and biopterin). It was shown that ultraviolet (UV) irradiation accelerates the autoxidation while the products of oxidative degradation of H4Bip act as photosensitizers. Photosensitized oxidation of H4Bip can contribute to the pathogenesis of vitiligo. The main distinguishing feature of UV photooxidation of H4Bip from autoxidation was the formation of dihydropterin (Н2Ptr)2 and dihydrobiopterin (Н2Bip)2 dimers. Here we reported on the dependences of the photodimerization reaction on the wavelength and intensity of radiation using xenon lamps and UV tunable lasers as sources of UV radiation. It was shown that UV irradiation with a laser is more efficient than that with xenon lamp. It was established that the greatest number of dimers were formed by irradiating the H4Bip solution by radiation with a wavelength in the range 308-312 nm. The data obtained are discussed in the context of UVB narrowband vitiligo phototherapy.

The photodynamic processes model occurring in the active medium and which taking into account the color center formation and processes of enhanced free charges recombination via valence change of variety of impurity centers was proposed. This model allows to explain both electronic and hole types color centers suppression in Ce:CaF2 sampels codoped by Yb3+ ions. It was shown that Yb3+ ions in the crystal act as centers of electron and hole recombination with probability dependent on the extra charge compensation type. Therefore the proposed antisolarant mechanism of the coactivation effect satisfactorily describes photochemical properties of fluorite and other crystal hosts.

As evaluated in the 400-1310 nm wavelength range, the Verdet constant of the EuF 2.11 crystals is ~30% higher than that of the TGG crystals, an at the wavelength of 1557 nm it is 100% higher. The Verdet constant of PrF 3 crystals is ~5% lower than in TGG throughout the studied wavelength range. Na 0.38 Ho 0.62 F 2.24 crystals have the lowest (among the studied crystals) value of the Verdet constant that is 50-80% lower than in TGG. The thermal lens was measured by the phase-shift interferometry technique and has the sign opposite to that of the TGG lens for all considered crystal. The thermo-optical constant P and the dependence of the thermal lens on the absorbed power were calculated. It is shown that the optical power of thermal lens in PrF 3 , EuF 2.11 and Na 0.38 Ho 0.62 F 2.24 at equal absorbed laser power is, respectively, 1.3, 1.7 and 1.8 times higher than in TGG.

The highest luminescence intensity of ytterbium was detected for the Ca 0.9495 Yb 0.0500 Pr 0.0005 F 2.0505 .
