The role of UVB in skin photo damages has been widely reported. Overexposure to UVB will induce severe DNA damages in epidermal cells and cause most cytotoxic symptoms. In the present study, we tested the potential activity of salubrinal, a selective inhibitor of Eukaryotic Initiation Factor 2 (eIF2) -alpha phosphatase, against UV-induced skin cell damages. We first exposed human fibroblasts to UVB radiation and evaluated the cytosolic Ca level as well as the induction of ER stress. We found that UVB radiation induced the depletion of ER Ca and increased the expression of ER stress marker including phosphorylated PERK, CHOP, and phosphorylated IRE1α. We then determined the effects of salubrinal in skin cell death induced by UVB radiation. We observed that cells pre-treated with salubrinal had a higher survival rate compared to cells treated with UVB alone. Pre-treatment with salubrinal successfully re-established the ER function and Ca homeostasis. Our results suggest that salubrinal can be a potential therapeutic agents used in preventing photoaging and photo damages.

Adult human skin contains nearly twice as many T cells as the peripheral blood, which include tissue-resident memory T cells. However, the precise mechanisms maintaining tissue-resident memory T cells in the healthy skin remain unclear. Using normal human skin samples, we find that Langerhans cells (LCs) contact T cells in the epidermis of the elderly.

TCP is a plant-specific transcription factor that plays an important role in plant growth and development. In this study, we used bioinformatics to identify the entire genome of the gene family in Bat, and we analyzed the expression characteristics of genes under UV-B radiation using qRT-PCR. The results were as follows: (1) 24 members of the gene family were identified in , evenly distributed on its 24 chromosomes.

The aim of this study was to investigate how ultraviolet B (UVB) light regulates AP-1 expression via the β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) in epidermal keratinocytes, which in turn regulates melanin synthesis in melanocytes, thereby modulating downstream melanin production in skin hair follicles and altering mouse skin color. We established a UV-irradiated mouse model to investigate the effects of UV radiation on changes in skin color. By measuring changes in the expression of genes related to cutaneous sympathetic nerves, norepinephrine synthesis and melanin synthesis, we investigated the relationship between β2-AR expression and cutaneous melanogenesis and determined the localization of β2-AR in cells.
