Involvement of MIF in Basement Membrane Damage in Chronically UVB-Exposed Skin in Mice
Solar ultraviolet (UV) B radiation is known to induce matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that degrade collagen in the basement membrane. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pluripotent cytokine that plays an essential role in the pathophysiology of skin inflammation induced by UV irradiation. This study examined the effects of MIF on basement membrane damage following chronic UVB ir...
متن کاملInvolvement of TGF-beta in Skin Photoaging
The goal of this thesis study was to understand the role of TGF-3 in skin photoaging, especially in solar elastosis. Solar elastosis, the accumulation of elastotic material in the dermal extracellluar matrix, is a major hallmark of photoaging. However, the mechanisms by which UV radiation causes solar elastosis are poorly understood. TGF-3 is a multifunctional cytokine involved in the regulatio...
متن کاملVariation in basement membrane topography in human thick skin.
Samples of human plantar and palmar skin were excised and incubated in 20 mM EDTA after which the epidermis was gently separated from the dermis with the plane of separation occurring in the lamina lucida. Scanning electron microscopic examination of the dermal component revealed the classically described series of regularly spaced grooves and papillae that characterize the epidermal-dermal jun...
متن کاملHuman skin basement membrane in health and in autoimmune diseases.
Skin basement membrane zone (BMZ) is an ultrastructurally defined area situated between the outer layer of skin, the epidermis, and the inner layer of skin, the dermis. The major function of skin BMZ is to serve as an adherent connection between the epidermis and the dermis. Heritable skin diseases characterized by genetic mutations that result in defective BMZ protein production, such as junct...
متن کاملPossible Basement Transverse Faults in the Western Alborz, Northern Iran
Transverse basement (TB) faults are important structures in the mountain belts or sedimentary basins influencing various aspects of them. The origin of these faults is diverse, but their effect on the shape and configuration of continental margins is characteristics. The Western Alborz range that borders the South Caspian basin to southwest is a complex range with principal faults and known ear...
