Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This is a very well written and interesting manuscript. Methods and results are clarly showed.

Author Response

Thank you for your comments.

Reviewer 2 Report

  1. Several western blot results were represented with combined with two separated bands such as Figure 8H. This could be critical issue. And we cannot get any conclusion with separated experiments.

Author Response

Thank you for your comments.

Considering the reviewer's comments, we deleted Western blotting image for 15 min post-UVA irradiation in Fig7H (not Fig8H) in the results section as marked by red in the revised manuscript with tracking changes.

Reviewer 3 Report

I am very happy with the subject that has been exposed. interesting and well written

Author Response

Thank you for your comments.

Reviewer 4 Report

The importance of the research and the research method are okay. However, the data processing method, data processing method, and thesis writing are very rudimentary. Authors should rewrite this paper by referring to several other papers in IJMS.

Reviewer #4

The importance of the research and the research method are okay. However, the data processing method, data processing method, and thesis writing are very rudimentary. Authors should rewrite this paper by referring to several other papers in IJMS.

Response:

We are sorry to mention that we believe that our manuscript has no problem with data processing method and thesis writing. However, considering the reviewer’s comments, we have extensively modified western blotting images as marked by red in the re-revised manuscript with remarks.

Round 2

Reviewer 4 Report

The authors ignored the reviewer's proposal and presented it almost as it was. I would like to see a paper recently published by IJMS and change it to a similar format. I would like to reduce the figure to 5 lines and change the way of showing the data to a general way. I don't think I'm looking at a lab note, not a paper.

Authors should be read recent paper published in IJMS
