Objective: To investigate the survival and cell cycle of HaCaT keratinocytes following UVB irradiation at various dosages, and observe the effect of vitamin E(Vit E) on the growth behavior of the cells in this condition.

Methods And Results: MTT assay and flow cytometry were employed to analyze the cell survival ratio and changes in cell growth behavior in various phases of the cell cycle. It was found that for a given length of time of cell incubation following UVB irradiation, the survival ratio of HaCaT keratinocytes decreased gradually as the irradiation dose increased; at a fixed UVB irradiation dose, prolonged incubation of the cells following the irradiation resulted in decreased cell survival ratio, which, however, began to increase when the minimum ratio was reached, with the exception of the cells subjected to irradiation for 15 min. As indicated by cell cycle analysis, the proliferation indexes of the cells [(S+G2)/(G1+S+G2)] subjected to irradiation for less than 5 min increased gradually as the cell incubation time was prolonged, and contrary results occurred in cells receiving UVB irradiation for longer time. Obvious protective effect of Vit E on the cells was observed against UVB irradiation-induced cell growth inhibition, with optimal dose of Vit E of 40 microg/ml.

Conclusion: UVB irradiation for no less than 5 min can inhibit HaCaT human keratinocyte growth, and the effect is antagonized by Vit E administration.

Introduction: Inflammasomes NLRP1 (NLR family pyrin domain containing 1) and NLRP3 are pivotal regulators of the innate immune response, activated by a spectrum of endogenous and exogenous stressors, including ultraviolet radiation (UVR). The precise molecular mechanisms underlying the activation of these inflammasomes remain unclear. Furthermore, the involvement of interleukin-33 (IL-33) in UVR-induced skin carcinogenesis is not well defined.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) holds promising prospects for the treatment of skin photoaging. This study aims to unravel the mechanism underlying PRP's anti-photoaging properties. Partial skin of rats was irradiated with ultraviolet (UV) and injected with PRP, and the skin appearance, pathological state, and aging conditions were determined.

Epidermal melanocytes form synaptic-like contacts with cutaneous nerve fibers, but the functional outcome of these connections remains elusive. In this pilot study we used our fully humanized re-innervated skin organ culture model to investigate melanocyte-nerve fiber interactions in UV-B-induced melanogenesis. UV-B-irradiation significantly enhanced melanin content and tyrosinase activity in re-innervated skin compared to non-innervated controls, indicating that neuronal presence is essential for exacerbating pigmentation upon UV-B irradiation in long-term culture.

Objective: Exosomes (Exos) from adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) can delay skin photoaging, but their effects on reactive oxygen species (ROS) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between adipose derived stem cell exosomes (ADSCs-Exos) in anti-photoaging of skin and glutathione (GSH)/ ROS expression in human fibroblasts.

Methods: A skin photoaging model was established by irradiating human fibroblasts with ultraviolet B (UVB) light in vitro.
