On the other hand, aggressive local growth and metastasis are common features of malignant melanoma, which accounts for 75 percent of all deaths associated with skin cancer. The primary cause of skin cancer is long exposure to so...
متن کاملMechanisms 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 کاملImmunosuppression and Cancer
BESIDES their beneficial effect in retarding or arresting the growth of certain types of neoplasms, a number of anticancer drugs may cause impairment of antibody synthesis and cell-mediated immunity. These immunosuppressive effects have been used therapeutically to prevent and control rejection of organ homografts and also to treat a variety of clinical states. However, the anticancer agents ha...
متن کاملUV-radiation, apoptosis and skin.
Apoptosis or programmed cell death is a key function in regulating skin development, homeostasis and tumorigenesis. The epidermis is exposed to various external stimuli and one of the most important is UV radiation. The UVA and UVB spectra differ in their biological effects and in their depth of penetration through the skin layers. UVB rays are absorbed directly by DNA which results in its dama...
