- Abstract
The simultaneous analysis of different regulatory levels of biological phenomena by means of multi-omics data integration has proven an invaluable tool in modern precision medicine, yet many processes ultimately paving the way towards disease manifestation remain elusive and have not been studied in this regard. Here we investigated the early molecular events following repetitive UV irradiation of in vivo healthy human skin in depth on transcriptomic and epigenetic level. Our results provide first hints towards an immediate acquisition of epigenetic memories related to aging and cancer and demonstrate significantly correlated epigenetic and transcriptomic responses to irradiation stress. The data allowed the precise prediction of inter-individual UV sensitivity, and molecular subtyping on the integrated post-irradiation multi-omics data established the existence of three latent molecular phototypes. Importantly, further analysis suggested a form of melanin-independent DNA damage protection in subjects with higher innate UV resilience. This work establishes a high-resolution molecular landscape of the acute epidermal UV response and demonstrates the potential of integrative analyses to untangle complex and heterogeneous biological responses.
