Ultraviolet B but not ultraviolet A radiation initiates melanoma.
Cutaneous malignant melanoma is one of the fastest increasing cancers with an incidence that has more than doubled in the last 25 years. Sunlight exposure is strongly implicated in the etiology of cutaneous malignant melanoma and the UV portion of the sunlight spectrum is considered responsible. Data are, however, conflicting on the roles of ultraviolet B [UVB; 280-320 nanometers (nm)] and ultr...
متن کاملMelanoma induction by ultraviolet A but not ultraviolet B radiation requires melanin pigment
Malignant melanoma of the skin (CMM) is associated with ultraviolet radiation exposure, but the mechanisms and even the wavelengths responsible are unclear. Here we use a mammalian model to investigate melanoma formed in response to precise spectrally defined ultraviolet wavelengths and biologically relevant doses. We show that melanoma induction by ultraviolet A (320-400 nm) requires the prese...
متن کاملUltraviolet B but not A radiation activates suppressor B cells in draining lymph nodes.
Immunosuppressive doses of solar-simulated UV radiation activate lymph node B cells that can suppress primary immunity by inhibiting the function of dendritic cells. The aim of this study was to determine the waveband responsible for activation of these suppressor B cells. We exposed C57BL/6 mice to various doses of either UVA or UVB radiation and analyzed the number and activation state of lym...
متن کاملEvaluation of solar ultraviolet radiation in Zanjan city using the ultraviolet index
Background and Objective: Monitoring the amount of ultraviolet radiation from sunlight can provide a basis for assessing people's exposure, raise public awareness and warn people against this radiation. Measuring the sun's ultraviolet index over a working period is an accurate choice to achieve this goal. Materials and Methods: In this study, the amount of solar UV index in one of the outdoor ...
متن کاملAmphibian defenses against ultraviolet-B radiation.
As part of an overall decline in biodiversity, amphibian populations throughout the world are disappearing. There are a number of potential causes for these declines, including those related to environmental changes such as increasing ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation due to stratospheric ozone depletion. UV-B radiation can kill amphibian embryos or can cause sublethal effects that can harm amphib...
