Nuevos materiales arqueológicos de la cueva de «El Arco B» (Ramales de la Victoria, Cantabria)

[ES] Se presentan un colgante lítico decorado y una placa caliza con pintura localizados en la cueva de El Arco B. Ambas piezas fueron recuperadas en superficie, sin un contexto estratigráfico preciso. La evaluación de la materia prima, de la morfología del soporte y de la decoración del colgante apuntan a considerar, como probable, su pertenencia al Paleolítico superior inicial. La placa decorada no encuentra paralelos claros en el frente cantábrico, por lo cual no es posible precisar más allá de una genérica adscripción al Paleolítico superior. Los materiales arqueológicos y las pinturas rojas ya conocidos, y las nuevas evidencias aquí presentadas, apuntan a considerar el yacimiento de El Arco B como un importante centro de hábitat y de creación artística.

Comparison of the Transcriptional Profiles of Melanocytes from Dark and Light Skinned Individuals under Basal Conditions and Following Ultraviolet-B Irradiation

We analysed the whole-genome transcriptional profile of 6 cell lines of dark melanocytes (DM) and 6 of light melanocytes (LM) at basal conditions and after ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation at different time points to investigate the mechanisms by which melanocytes protect human skin from the damaging effects of UVB. Further, we assessed the effect of different keratinocyte-conditioned media (KCM+ and KCM-) on melanocytes. Our results suggest that an interaction between ribosomal proteins and the P53 signaling pathway may occur in response to UVB in both DM and LM. We also observed that DM and LM show differentially expressed genes after irradiation, in particular at the first 6h after UVB. These are mainly associated with inflammatory reactions, cell survival or melanoma. Furthermore, the culture with KCM+ compared with KCM- had a noticeable effect on LM. This effect includes the activation of various signaling pathways such as the mTOR pathway, involved in the regulation of cell metabolism, growth, proliferation and survival. Finally, the comparison of the transcriptional profiles between LM and DM under basal conditions, and the application of natural selection tests in human populations allowed us to support the significant evolutionary role of MIF and ATP6V0B in the pigmentary phenotype.
