312-nanometer Ultraviolet B Light (Narrow-Band UVB) Induces Apoptosis of T Cells within Psoriatic Lesions
Narrow-band (312 nm) ultraviolet B light (UVB) is a new form of therapy for psoriasis, but its mechanism of action is unknown. In a bilateral comparison clinical study, daily exposure of psoriatic plaques to broad-band UVB (290-320 nm) or 312-nm UVB depleted T cells from the epidermis and dermis of psoriatic lesions. However, 312-nm UVB was significantly more depleting in both tissue compartmen...
متن کاملDown Regulation of Osteocalcin Gene in Chickens Treated with Cadmium
Background: Cadmium is one of the heavy metals with harmful effects on different body organs and systems. The aim of this study was to investigate the harmful effects of cadmium, as a heavy metal, on the histological structure of bone and the expression of osteocalcin gene. Methods: Forty chickens were obtained, anesthetized and their femurs were surgically removed. The real time polymerase ch...
متن کاملRegulation of ultraviolet light-induced gene expression by gene size.
UV light induces the expression of a wide variety of genes. At present, it is unclear how cells sense the extent of DNA damage and alter the expression of UV-induced genes appropriately. UV light induces DNA damage that blocks transcription, and the probability that a gene sustains transcription-blocking DNA damage is proportional to locus size and dose of UV light. Using colon carcinoma cells ...
متن کاملUltraviolet B (UVB) Phototherapy in the Treatment of Vitiligo
Vitiligo is a common, acquired pigmentary disorder of unknown pathogenesis that presents a therapeutic challenge to many dermatologists (Figure 1). Although surgery in the form of grafting or transplantation is generally the most definitive treatment option, these procedures are limited by concerns of post-procedure cosmesis. Photochemotherapy using psoralen and ultraviolet A (PUVA) therapy, to...
متن کاملDerinat Protects Skin against Ultraviolet-B (UVB)-Induced Cellular Damage.
Ultraviolet-B (UVB) is one of the most cytotoxic and mutagenic stresses that contribute to skin damage and aging through increasing intracellular Ca(2+) and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Derinat (sodium deoxyribonucleate) has been utilized as an immunomodulator for the treatment of ROS-associated diseases in clinics. However, the molecular mechanism by which Derinat protects skin cells from UV...
