Mechanisms of UV-induced immunosuppression.
Ultraviolet radiation (UV), in particular the UVB range, suppresses the immune system in several ways. UVB inhibits antigen presentation, induces the release of immunosuppressive cytokines and causes apoptosis of leukocytes. UVB, however, does not cause general immunosuppression but rather inhibits immune reactions in an antigen-specific fashion. Application of contact allergens onto UV-exposed...
متن کاملTopical Administration of Manuka Oil Prevents UV-B Irradiation-Induced Cutaneous Photoaging in Mice
Manuka tree is indigenous to New Zealand, and its essential oil has been used as a traditional medicine to treat wounds, fever, and pain. Although there is a growing interest in the use of manuka oil for antiaging skin care products, little is known about its bioactivity. Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the primary environmental factor causing skin damage and consequently premature aging. T...
متن کاملOral nicotinamide protects against ultraviolet radiation-induced immunosuppression in humans.
Cutaneous immunity, which is a key defence against the development of skin cancers, is suppressed by even small doses of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Preventing this UV-induced immunosuppression may therefore reduce the incidence of skin cancer. Nicotinamide (vitamin B3) has immune-protective and cancer-preventive effects against UV radiation in mice, and we have shown previously that topical ni...
متن کاملEpidermal Langerhans cells are not required for UV-induced immunosuppression.
UV light can be highly beneficial in the treatment of skin disorders such as psoriasis. It is thought to cause immunosuppression by depleting or altering the function of epidermal Langerhans cells (LC). Our previous studies identified a novel langerin(+) dendritic cell in the dermis, distinct from LC in phenotype, circulation, and function. In this study, we determined the role of LC and dermal...
متن کاملTopical application of ST266 reduces UV-induced skin damage
Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) has a significant impact on human skin and is the major environmental factor for skin cancer formation. It is also believed that 80% of the signs of skin aging are attributed to UVR. UVR induces inflammatory changes in the skin via the increase in oxidative stress, DNA damage vascular permeability, and fluctuation in a myriad of cytokines. Acutely, UVR causes skin in...
