title: Enhancement of major histocompatibility class I protein synthesis by DNA damage in cultured human fibroblasts and keratinocytes.
abstract: Exposure of primary human fibroblasts or simian virus 40-transformed human keratinocytes to several different classes of DNA damage, including UV light C (254 nm), resulted in a rapid increase in the expression of human major histocompatibility class I (MHC-I) proteins. MHC-I induction was also detected after exposure to low doses of the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide, suggesting that MHC-I induction by DNA damage may be a component in a derepressible cellular SOS pathway.
