Exposure of epidermal keratinocytes to UVB radiation leads the intracellular formation tryptophan photoproducts which subsequently activate aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) induce mal-/adaptive stress responses. Previously, we have found that AHR represses nucleotide excision repair and apoptosis in UVB-irradiated thereby contributes skin photocarcinogenesis mice. The mechanisms by interferes wi...
