Sunlight Effects on Immune System: Is There Something Else in addition to UV-Induced Immunosuppression?
Sunlight, composed of different types of radiation, including ultraviolet wavelengths, is an essential source of light and warmth for life on earth but has strong negative effects on human health, such as promoting the malignant transformation of skin cells and suppressing the ability of the human immune system to efficiently detect and attack malignant cells. UV-induced immunosuppression has b...
متن کاملMacrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) Overexpression Accelerates Photocarcinogenesis in the Skin
The effects of sunlight have fascinated researchers for decades because nearly every living organism on earth is exposed to sunlight, including its ultraviolet (UV) fraction. UV radiation is divided into 3 subtypes, UVA (320–400nm), UVB (280–320nm) and UVC (200– 280nm), each of which has distinct biological effects. Although UVC is blocked by stratospheric ozone, UVB (1–10%) and UVA (90–99%) re...
متن کاملUVA/UVB phototherapy for atopic dermatitis revisited.
BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a genetically determined pruritic skin disease affecting predominantly young people. The therapy of AD includes mainly corticosteroids (CS), antihistamines and immunosuppressors. CS are known to cause a variety of side effects and attempts have been made to reduce or eliminate their use through alternative methods such as phototherapy (UVA/UVB, UVA(1), UVB 3...
متن کاملUVA-induced protection of skin through the induction of heme oxygenase-1.
UVA (320-400 nm) and UVB (290-320 nm) are the major components of solar UV irradiation, which is associated with various pathological conditions. UVB causes direct damage to DNA of epidermal cells and is mainly responsible for erythema, immunosuppression, photoaging, and skin cancer. UVA has oxidizing properties that can cause damage or enhance UVB damaging effects on skin. On the other hand, U...
متن کاملProtective Effects of Lindera coreana on UVB-induced Oxidative Stress in Human HaCaT Keratinocytes
The present study was designed to investigate the protective effect of ethanol extracts from Lindera coreana leaves (LCE) on UVB-induced oxidative stress in HaCaT keratinocytes. The HaCaT cells were pretreated with LCE for 24 h and then exposed to UVB (20 mJ/cm2) for 2 h. UVB significantly decreased the cell viability (p
