One-hundred-and-twenty hairless mice were irradiated with UVB (310 nm, exposure 60 mJ/cm2) on a limited area of the dorsal skin. At different time intervals after irradiation, the rate of endogenous dehydrogenase activity per mg dry epidermis was measured by the tetrazolium reduction method. The amount of formazan deposited remained normal for 18 h, and then increased, reaching a peak significantly higher than normal at 24 h, and thereafter returned to normal. At day 8 there was a new, probably significant peak. The reaction was followed for 14 days. It was concluded that UVB irradiation provokes a period of increased formazan deposition in the epidermis, similar to what has been observed after ionizing radiation and chemical carcinogens. The validity of the tetrazolium test for skin carcinogenic irritaments was thus also confirmed.  相似文献

Changes of cytomorphology and water permeability of inner epidermal cells of Allium cepa L. cvs Spartan and Keep Well were investigated with the light microscope after irradiation with UV-C (254 nm) and UV-B (280 and 310 nm). The sequence of the investigated changes of viscosity, protoplasmic streaming, organelle shape and water permeability was the same with 254 as with 280 nm. although a higher dose of 280 nm was needed to produce the same biologically equivalent effect. However, when calculated as a percentage of the lethal dose, the initial doses that produced the effects were the same for 254 and 280 nm. No changes could he observed at the cellular level after the cells were irradiated with 310 nm. The lethal dose depended upon the time between irradiation and observation. At 254 nm it was 1.1 kJ m−2 up to 1 h after irradiation and dropped to 860 J m−2 when measured 24 and 48 h later. At 280 nm a dose of 2.8 kJ m−2 killed the cells within I h while the dose needed after 24 and 48S h was 1.99 kJ m−2. The minimum doses which caused the different cytomorphological effects did not depend upon the observation time. Normal cell structure and functions that were altered immediately alter irradiation did not recover. Doses that were not immediately effective alter irradiation caused no later damage. Doses which increased water permeability were much higher than doses which influenced cytomorphological parameters of the cell.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to compare fluence-response relationships for the production of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers in epidermal or dermal DNA of platyfishXiphophorus hybrids irradiated with UVB, and to determine photoreactivation from black light on dimers producedin situ. This was accomplished by quantitative gel electrophoresis of unlabeled DNA following extraction of the DNA and treatment with an enzyme specific for the detection of pyrimidine dimers. The dermis was the target tissue for UV-induced DNA damage inXiphophorus hybrid fish skin. Shapes of dimer-fluence response data following filtered sunlamp irradiation ( > 290 nm) or monochromatic wavelength 302 nm in the epidermis or dermis were different. In the epidermis there was an initial steep upward slope followed by a plateau, whereas in the dermis a linear relationship was observed. The final values of dimers at the high doses were, however, nearly equal in the epidermis and dermis exposed to either radiation. These differences in fluence-response relationships are probably attributable to the intertwining of the epidermis and to the shielding effect of the epidermal layer, with scales leading to a heterogenous population of cells which are exposed to different UV doses. Photoreversal of dimers was readily observed by black light irradiation in both epidermis and dermis irradiated with either > 290 nm or 302 nm.This research was supported by the Office of Health and Environmental Research of the U.S. Department of EnergyThe author is recipient of the National Academy of Sciences' Kobelt Fund Grant  相似文献

TGF-beta produced by keratinocytes in response to UVB (290-320 nm) is a potential mediator for effects of acute and chronic solar radiation on skin. This study was designed to determine whether reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediate UVB-induced TGF-beta biosynthesis in keratinocytes and the subsequent activation of the latent TGF-beta complex. UVB irradiation elevated both total (latent plus active) and active TGF-beta in the keratinocyte supernatants, with a greater increase in the active form. UVB irradiation induced up to a 30% increase in ROS, and the ROS were detected up to 90 min after irradiation. NAC and Trolox, cytoplasmic ROS scavengers, abolished the UVB-induced TGF-beta and intracellular ROS, suggesting that UVB-induced ROS are involved in TGF-beta regulation. Inhibitors of NADPH oxidase activity, DPI and apocynin, decreased UVB-induced ROS. The increase in NADPH oxidase activity was mediated by EGFR activation. UVB-induced ROS also activated latent TGF-beta complex by stimulating MMP-2 and -9 activities. In summary, physiological doses of UVB increase intracellular ROS, which upregulate TGF-beta biosynthesis and activation of TGF-beta through increased activity of MMPs.  相似文献

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation induces DNA damage, oxidative stress, and inflammatory processes in human keratinocytes, resulting in skin inflammation, photoaging, and photocarcinogenesis. Adequate protection of skin against the harmful effects of UV irradiation is essential. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the protective effects of afzelin, one of the flavonoids, against UV irradiation in human keratinocytes and epidermal equivalent models. Spectrophotometric measurements revealed that the afzelin extinction maxima were in the UVB and UVA range, and UV transmission below 376 nm was <10%, indicating UV-absorbing activity of afzelin. In the phototoxicity assay using the 3T3 NRU phototoxicity test (3T3-NRU-PT), afzelin presented a tendency to no phototoxic potential. In addition, in order to investigate cellular functions of afzelin itself, cells were treated with afzelin after UVB irradiation. In human keratinocyte, afzelin effectively inhibited the UVB-mediated increase in lipid peroxidation and the formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers. Afzelin also inhibited UVB-induced cell death in human keratinocytes by inhibiting intrinsic apoptotic signaling. Furthermore, afzelin showed inhibitory effects on UVB-induced release of pro-inflammatory mediators such as interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, and prostaglandin-E2 in human keratinocytes by interfering with the p38 kinase pathway. Using an epidermal equivalent model exposed to UVB radiation, anti-apoptotic activity of afzelin was also confirmed together with a photoprotective effect at the morphological level. Taken together, our results suggest that afzelin has several cellular activities such as DNA-protective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory as well as UV-absorbing activity and may protect human skin from UVB-induced damage by a combination of UV-absorbing and cellular activities.  相似文献

The left flank of hairless mouse skin was irradiated with a minimal erythema dose of ultraviolet B (UVB) light at 297 nm (25 mJcm-2), while the right flank served as untreated control. The alterations in epidermal growth kinetics induced by this UVB dose were studied with the percentage of labelled mitoses (PLM) technique during the period of increased proliferation. Thirty hours after irradiation, when a large cohort of cells appears in S phase, each animal was injected intra-peritoneally with 50 microCi tritiated thymidine [( 3H]-TdR). The number of labelled basal and suprabasal cells, as well as their localization in epidermis were registered in histological sections at short intervals up to 48 h after the [3H]-TdR pulse. Labelled mitoses were also counted in the same specimens. The results showed a four-fold increase of the high initial number of labelled cells in UVB-exposed epidermis within 18 h of the pulse injection, and a six-fold increase after 36 h. In control epidermis, where the starting value of the labelling index was much lower, there was only a three to four-fold increase in the number of labelled cells during the period studied. The PLM and the labelling index data were consistent with an average cell cycle time of approximately 10-12 h for UVB-exposed cells, in contrast to about 30 h for the fastest cycling population in control epidermis. The PLM curve also indicated a prolonged S phase duration in UVB-exposed epidermis compared with controls. In addition, labelled cells were seen in the suprabasal layer as early as 6 h after the [3H]-TdR injection and within 36 h labelled cells had reached the outermost layer of nucleated cells, indicating a reduced transit time through epidermis. The present study shows that a minimal erythema dose of UVB light at 297 nm induced a period of increased transit time through the S phase, combined with rapid cell proliferation, leading to an overall shortening of the epidermal cell cycle time. The cohort of cells labelled with [3H]-TdR 30 h after irradiation seemed to proceed as a wave of partially synchronized cells through the cell cycle for more than two rounds, which is comparable with the cell kinetic perturbations observed in regenerating mouse epidermis.  相似文献

Immunosuppression attributed mainly to the UVB (290-320 nm) waveband is a prerequisite for skin cancer development in mice and humans. The contribution of UVA (320-400 nm) is controversial, but in mice UVA irradiation has been found to antagonise immunosuppression by UVB. In other studies of photoimmune regulation, protection mediated via oestrogen receptor-β signalling was identified as a normal endogenous defence in mice, and was shown to depend on UVA irradiation. A gender bias in photoimmune responsiveness was thus suggested, and is tested in this study by comparing the UV-induced inflammatory and immune responses in male and female hairless mice. We report that male mice, which show greater skin thickness than females, developed a less intense but slower resolving sunburn inflammatory oedema, correlated with reduced epidermal expression of pro-inflammatory IL-6 than females following solar simulated UV (SSUV, 290-400 nm) exposure. On the other hand, the contact hypersensitivity reaction (CHS) was more severely suppressed by SSUV in males, correlated with increased epidermal expression of immunosuppressive IL-10. Exposure to the UVB waveband alone, or to cis-urocanic acid, suppressed CHS equally in males and females. However, whereas UVA irradiation induced immunoprotection against either UVB or cis-urocanic acid in females, this protection was significantly reduced or abrogated in males. The results indicate that males are compromised by a relative unresponsiveness to the photoimmune protective effects of UVA, alone or as a component of SSUV. This could explain the known gender bias in skin cancer development in both mice and humans.  相似文献

Abstract. The left flank of hairless mouse skin was irradiated with a minimal erythema dose of ultraviolet B (UVB) light at 297 nm (25 mJcm-2), while the right flank served as untreated control. The alterations in epidermal growth kinetics induced by this UVB dose were studied with the percentage of labelled mitoses (PLM) technique during the period of increased proliferation. Thirty hours after irradiation, when a large cohort of cells appears in S phase, each animal was injected intra-peritoneally with 50 /iCi tritiated thymidine ([3H]-TdR). The number of labelled basal and suprabasal cells, as well as their localization in epidermis were registered in histological sections at short intervals up to 48 h after the [3H]-TdR pulse. Labelled mitoses were also counted in the same specimens. The results showed a four-fold increase of the high initial number of labelled cells in UVB-exposed epidermis within 18 h of the pulse injection, and a sixfold increase after 36 h. In control epidermis, where the starting value of the labelling index was much lower, there was only a three to four-fold increase in the number of labelled cells during the period studied.

为了提高体温,荒漠沙蜥喜好晒太阳的同时增加了紫外线对其皮肤的损伤。本实验研究了不同的紫外线强度(110、300、500、800mJ/cm2)对荒漠沙蜥皮肤形态、蜕皮、脂质过氧化和抗氧化酶的影响。结果显示:皮肤损伤和丙二醛含量的最高峰发生在暴露紫外线300、500、800mJ/cm2后的96、48、24h;SOD活性的最低峰发生在暴露紫外线110、300、500、800mJ/cm2后的24、48、12h;CAT活性在暴露紫外线后立即抑制,然后恢复提高。CAT活性的高低往往伴随皮肤的损伤程度和蜕皮的发生,这表明紫外线对皮肤的损伤与皮肤的脂质过氧化密切相关,CAT是一种主要的抗氧化酶。皮肤的角质层对保护皮肤免受紫外线的损伤也有重要作用。  相似文献

In this work, we show that repeated stresses with UVB (290-320 nm) induce stress-induced premature senescence (SIPS) of skin human diploid fibroblasts (HDFs). HDFs at early cumulative population doublings were exposed three or five times to increasing subcytotoxic doses of UVB with one stress per day. After 2 days of recovery, several biomarkers of replicative senescence were established. First, there was an increase in the proportion of cells positive for senescence-associated beta-galactosidase activity. Second, there was a loss of replicative potential as assessed by a very low level of [3H]-thymidine incorporation. Third, the steady-state level of the mRNA of three senescence-associated genes, i.e. fibronectin, osteonectin and SM22, was increased in HDFs at 72 h after three and five exposures to UVB. In conclusion, these results suggest that it is possible to induce SIPS in HDFs after repeated exposures to subcytotoxic doses of UVB. This model could be used to test whether HDFs in UVB-induced premature senescence are able to promote epithelial cell growth and tumorigenesis in skin, as shown recently with HDFs in H(2)O(2)-induced premature senescence.  相似文献

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis maintains basal and stress-related homeostasis in vertebrates. Skin expresses all elements of the HPA axis including corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), proopiomelanocortin (POMC), ACTH, β-endorphin (β-END) with corresponding receptors, the glucocorticoidogenic pathway, and the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). To test the hypothesis that cutaneous responses to environmental stressors follow the organizational structure of the central response to stress, the activity of the "cutaneous HPA" axis homolog was investigated after exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) wavelengths of UVA (320-400 nm), UVB (280-320 nm), and UVC (100-280 nm) in human skin organ culture and in co-cultured keratinocytes/melanocytes. The level of stimulation of CRH, POMC, MC1R, MC2R, CYP11A1, and CYP11B1 genes was dependent on UV wavelengths and doses, with the highest effects observed for highly energetic UVC and UVB. ELISA and Western assays showed significant production of CRH, POMC, ACTH, and CYP11A1 proteins and of cortisol, with a decrease in GR expression only after UVB and UVC. However, β-END expression was also stimulated by UVA. Immunocytochemistry localized the deposition of the aforesaid antigens predominantly to the epidermis with additional accumulation of CRH, β-END, and ACTH in the dermis. UVR-stimulated CYP11A1 expression was seen in the basal layer of the epidermis and cells of adjacent dermis. Thus, the capacity to activate or change the spatial distribution of the cutaneous HPA axis elements is dependent on highly energetic wavelengths (UVC and UVB), implying a dependence of a local stress response on their noxious activity with overlapping or alternative mechanisms activated by UVA.  相似文献

Apoptotic cells are thought to play an essential role in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We hypothesise that delayed or altered clearance of apoptotic cells after UV irradiation will lead to inflammation in the skin of SLE patients. Fifteen SLE patients and 13 controls were irradiated with two minimal erythemal doses (MEDs) of ultraviolet B light (UVB). Subsequently, skin biopsies were analysed (immuno)histologically, over 10 days, for numbers of apoptotic cells, T cells, macrophages, and deposition of immunoglobulin and complement. Additionally, to compare results with cutaneous lesions of SLE patients, 20 biopsies of lupus erythematosus (LE) skin lesions were analysed morphologically for apoptotic cells and infiltrate. Clearance rate of apoptotic cells after irradiation did not differ between patients and controls. Influx of macrophages in dermal and epidermal layers was significantly increased in patients compared with controls. Five out of 15 patients developed a dermal infiltrate that was associated with increased epidermal influx of T cells and macrophages but not with numbers of apoptotic cells or epidermal deposition of immunoglobulins. Macrophages were ingesting multiple apoptotic bodies. Inflammatory lesions in these patients were localised near accumulations of apoptotic keratinocytes similar as was seen in the majority of LE skin lesions. In vivo clearance rate of apoptotic cells is comparable between SLE patients and controls. However, the presence of inflammatory lesions in the vicinity of apoptotic cells, as observed both in UVB-induced and in LE skin lesions in SLE patients, suggests that these lesions result from an inflammatory clearance of apoptotic cells.  相似文献

目的:检测UVB诱导的真核细胞DNA损伤。方法:采用单细胞凝胶电泳与原子力显微镜。结果:不同照射剂量的UVB引起的真核细胞DNA损伤模式不同。在0~20J/m2照射剂量范围内DNA无损伤;在20--360J/m2照射剂量范围内DNA损伤程度加快;当照射剂量超过360J/m2时DNA损伤速度减慢,实验组之间无显著性差异,出现“平台”。原子力显微镜的观察结果表明随着UVB照射剂量的增加,DNA结构的变化经历了断裂、交联与断裂并存的损伤增强趋势。当照射能量达到280J/m2时细胞DNA大都形成断片,并相互交联在一起。这一结果表明彗星电泳检测到的UVB照射剂量达到一定剂量后,DNA损伤出现”平台”的原因可能是此时DNA发生了链内或链间交联。结论:不同照射剂量的UVB造成的细胞DNA损伤模式不同;原子力显微镜是一种比较直观的观测DNA损伤的方法。借助原子力显微镜我们可以深入了解单细胞凝胶电泳检测的原理,为DNA损伤检测提供更优良的检测手段。  相似文献

Both calcitriol and UVB radiation exert potent antipsoriatic effects. We hypothesize that the therapeutical effect of UVB radiation may be attributed at least in part to UVB-triggered cutaneous synthesis of calcitriol. The optimum wavelength for initiation of the vitamin D(3) pathway was found to be in the range of 300+/-5 nm in vitro and in vivo. The narrowband Philips TL-01 lamp which is commonly used as UVB source for phototherapy of psoriasis has maximum spectral irradiance at around 311 nm which is presumed to be, however, of lesser importance in photochemical activation of the vitamin D(3) pathway. The aim of this study was to compare the vitamin D(3) and calcitriol-inducing potential of UVB from the TL-01 lamp with that of monochromatic UVB at 300+/-2.5 nm and 310+/-2.5 nm in organotypic cultures of keratinocytes supplemented with 25 microM 7-DHC. We found that maximum calcitriol-generating capacity of the TL-01 lamp at 500 mJ/cm(2) and 16 h after irradiation still amounts up to 44% of that found after monochromatic irradiation at 300+/-2.5 nm and 30 mJ/cm(2). Thus, the antipsoriatic effect of UVB emitted from the TL-01 lamp may, at least in part, based on the antiproliferative and prodifferentiative action of newly synthesized calcitriol on epidermal keratinocytes.  相似文献

Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation affects eukaryotic cells in numerous ways. Exposure of blood transfusion products to UVC (200-280 nm) or UVB (280-320 nm) reduces or abrogates their immunogenicity and thereby prevents allosensitization and transfusion refractoriness in several models. Although the exact mechanism is not known, in vitro studies suggest that UV exposure results in a loss of class II histocompatibility antigens from the cell surface, alterations of calcium homeostasis, and a lack of interaction between antigen presenting and responding cells. In the UVB and UVA (320-400 nm) range, lymphocytes appear to be more sensitive than hemopoietic cells. In murine transplant models, UVB irradiation of spleen and marrow cells can be used to prevent the development of graft-versus-host disease while allowing for complete hemopoietic reconstitution. Furthermore, in clinical marrow transplantation, pilot studies of UVA in conjunction with psoralen administration have yielded encouraging results in patients with steroid refractory graft-versus-host disease of the skin. Thus, UV irradiation provides an interesting tool to study cell/cell and donor/host interactions and may have some applications in transfusion medicine and bone marrow transplantation.  相似文献

Long-term exposure to ultraviolet radiation B (UVB) induced pigmented spots in the dorsal skin of hairless mice of strain (HR-1 X HR/De)F1. To clarify the cellular mechanism for the development of these UVB-induced pigmented spots, we investigated changes in the proliferative activity of epidermal melanoblasts and melanocytes in the dorsal skin at various weeks after UVB irradiation. Epidermal cell suspensions from the dorsal skin of hairless mice were cultured in a serum-free medium supplemented with dibutyryl adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (DBcAMP) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). The suspensions were prepared from dorsal skins of mice exposed to UVB for 4 weeks (the stage of hyperpigmentation). Suspensions were also prepared from mice at 3 (the stage of depigmentation), 8 (the stage of appearance of pigmented spots), 20 (the stage of development of small-sized pigmented spots) and 37 (the stage of development of medium-sized pigmented spots) weeks after the cessation of 8-week UVB exposure. At the stage of hyperpigmentation the proliferative activity of melanoblasts and melanocytes was suppressed. With the development of pigmented spots, the proliferative activity of undifferentiated melanoblasts gradually increased, and then followed the increase in the proliferative activity of differentiated melanocytes. These results suggest that the proliferative activity of epidermal melanoblasts and melanocytes in UVB-irradiated skin increases with the development of pigmented spots.  相似文献

UVB irradiation of human skin is known to induce pathophysiological processes as oxidative stress and inflammation. HaCaT keratinocytes represent a well-established in vitro model system to investigate the influence of UVB irradiation on cell cultures. It was the aim of these investigations to study the effects of moderate UVB doses on cellular and mitochondrial integrity of HaCaT keratinocytes, biomarkers of oxidative stress and antioxidant protection by superoxide dismutases. F2-isoprostane concentrations were UVB dose-dependently enhanced reaching a plateau at 50 mJ/cm2. Cell viability was reduced and apoptosis was enhanced with increasing UVB doses. The activities of the respiratory chain complexes were practically not altered at lower UVB doses, up to 50 mJ/cm2, whereas remarkable decreases, also for the levels of cardiolipin species, were seen at 100 mJ/cm2. As an adaptive response to the enhanced oxidative stress, protein levels of MnSOD increased about 3-fold at 50 mJ/cm2 and decreased at higher doses. From the data it can be concluded that keratinocytes are sufficiently protected at low UVB doses, whereas higher doses lead to irreversible cell damage.  相似文献
