Melanoma 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 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 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 کاملUltraviolet C Radiation Syndrome Patients to Killing by Ultraviolet B but not by Hypersensitivity of Skin Fibroblasts from Basal Cell Nevus
Basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder in which the afflicted individuals are extremely susceptible to sunlight-induced skin cancers, particularly basal cell carcinomas. How ever, the cellular and molecular basis for BCNS is unknown. To ascertain whether there is any relationship between genetic predisposition to skin cancer and increased sensitivity of somat...
متن کاملHypersensitivity of skin fibroblasts from basal cell nevus syndrome patients to killing by ultraviolet B but not by ultraviolet C radiation.
Basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder in which the afflicted individuals are extremely susceptible to sunlight-induced skin cancers, particularly basal cell carcinomas. However, the cellular and molecular basis for BCNS is unknown. To ascertain whether there is any relationship between genetic predisposition to skin cancer and increased sensitivity of somati...
