Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is well known to cause human skin aging and skin cancer through activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) which are responsible for the degradation of collagen, an extracellular matrix component. However, the molecular mechanisms of UV-induced MMP expression are yet to be defined. In this study, we investigated signaling molecules involved in UV-induced MMP expression in HaCaT human keratinocytes. (omitted)

Seedlings of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L. "King of Denmark" and "Minsterland") were grown with or without supplemental UV-B under field conditions for five or nine days when their fifth or sixth leaves were expanding. Except two leaves which were just expanded and expanding, all other leaves of each seedling were removed before tested. One of these two leaves was exposed to UV-B irradiation and the other leaf was covered with lumiror film (no transmission below 320 nm) to prevent it from UV-B exposure. l,l-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl scavenging activities (antioxidative activity) in leaves without covers were increased according to UV-B doses they were exposed to. And removal of UV-B exposure with lumiror decreased foliage antioxidative activities. This increase or decrease of activities in leaves did not dependent on the UV-B doses their paired leaves were exposed to in both two cultivars. The results demonstrated that spinach foliage antioxidants induced by UV-B exposure were not transported into another leaf.

Ultraviolet-nanoimprint lithography (UV-NIL) is a promising method for cost-effectively defining nanoscale structures at room temperature and low pressure. Since the resolution of transferred nanostructures depends strongly upon that of nanostamps, the nanostamp fabrication technology is a key technology to UV-NIL. In this paper, a $5\times5\times0.09$ in. quartz stamp whose critical dimension is 377 nm was fabricated using the etching process in which a Cr film was employed as a hard mask for transferring nanostructures onto the quartz plate. To effectively apply the fabricated 5-in. stamp to UV-NIL on a 4-in. Si wafer, we have proposed a new UV-NIL process using a multi-dispensing method as a way to supply resist on a wafer. Experiments have shown that the multi-dispensing method can enable UV-NIL using a large-area stamp.

Extraction of quaternary ammonium compounds (choline and betaine) from plant samples (spinach) using ion exchange resin (AG1, OH⁻ form) is a very simple and inexpensive approach. However, it is very hard to determine amounts of choline and betaine simultaneously using high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet (HPLC-UV) detection. Unlike choline, betaine has low molar absorptivity in UV-visible (UV-Vis) region, which makes it difficult to carry out UV-Vis detection of betaine. The mixture of quaternary ammonium compounds (choline and betaine) was derivatized using 2-bromo acetophenone as a derivatizing agent. As a result, choline did not react with the derivatizing agent, whereas betaine formed a betaine derivative. This betaine derivative exhibited detectable UV absorption with baseline separation between choline and the betaine derivative. Thus, with this method, choline and betaine can be determined simultaneously by using the HPLCUV method through one-step derivatization, which is an easy, sensitive, and reliable method.

Research on ultraviolet (UV) light detection has attracted considerable attention from scientific researchers in related fields. It can be said that it is a very important time to accurately monitor the UV irradiation amount according to the wavelength region in real time. The oxide is very diverse in its kind and has the advantage of being able to efficiently control the band gap through band gap engineering. In addition, it is very stable in response to heat and atmospheric oxygen when UV is absorbed. Also, there is a known method that can effectively manufacture oxide nanoparticles and nanorods through various synthesis methods, and researches for improving the sensitivity of UV sensors have been carried out using this method. In this paper, we introduce the materials that can be used as UV sensors among various wide band oxide materials, and review the results of researches of various UV sensors using nano materials.

The present study was conducted to elucidate whether the expression level of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is related to the ultraviolet radiation (UV)-induced apoptosis. After treatment of the mammalian cell lines HeLa S3 and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) with 50 J/m2 UV, induction of apoptosis was determined by several means during 24 h post-incubation. Incidence of apoptosis was much lower in CHO than HeLa S3 cells based on the percentage of apoptotic cells in terms of morphological changes in nucleus or direct counting of viable cells and qualitative or quantitative DNA fragmentation. Interestingly, when the expression level of PARP was measured by western blotting, the amounts of PARP that was retained at each time point inversely correlated with the incidences of apoptosis in these cells. Concomitant with generation of the 85 kDa fragment, 116 kDa PARP disappeared in HeLa S3 within 6 h after UV treatment, whereas a fair amounts of 116 kDa band was still retained in CHO cells at 36 h post-incubation. This inverse relationship was also observed in the adaptive response system, in which cells weve treated with a high dose of UV after pretreatment with a low dose. As expected, typical adaptive responses appeared in CHO cells but not in HeLa cells, showing greater cell viability and lesser DNA fragmentation. During the adaptive response in CHO cells, PARP was expressed at much higher level compared to the single, high dose-treated cells. Interestingly, even though PARP was induced at 6 h post-incubation In both cell types, its expression was more prominent in CHO cells. Thus, our data indicate that the retained level of intact PARP against UV damage inversely correlates with incidence of apoptosis in mammalian cells, and also suggest that a machinery to protect the PARP degradation against UV damage exists in CHO but not in HeLa S3 cells.

Background: Ultraviolet (UV) goes through the epidermis and promotes release of inflammatory cytokines in keratinocytes. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), one of the keratinocyte-derived cytokines, regulates proliferation and differentiation of melanocytes. Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2) and protein kinase C (PKC) signaling pathways regulate expression of GM-CSF. Based on these results, we found that ginsenoside Rh3 prevented GM-CSF production and release in UV-B-exposed SP-1 keratinocytes and that this inhibitory effect resulted from the reduction of PKCδ and ERK phosphorylation. Methods: We investigated the mechanism by which ginsenoside Rh3 from Panax ginseng inhibited GM-CSF release from UV-B-irradiated keratinocytes. Results: Treatment with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) or UV-B induced release of GM-CSF in the SP-1 keratinocytes. To elucidate whether the change in GM-CSF expression could be related to PKC signaling, the cells were pretreated with H7, an inhibitor of PKC, and irradiated with UV-B. GM-CSF was decreased by H7 in a dose-dependent manner. When we analyzed which ginsenosides repressed GM-CSF expression among 15 ginsenosides, ginsenoside Rh3 showed the largest decline to 40% of GM-CSF expression in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Western blot analysis showed that TPA enhanced the phosphorylation of PKCδ and ERK in the keratinocytes. When we examined the effect of ginsenoside Rh3, we identified that ginsenoside Rh3 inhibited the TPA-induced phosphorylation levels of PKCδ and ERK. Conclusion: In summary, we found that ginsenoside Rh3 impeded UV-B-induced GM-CSF production through repression of PKCδ and ERK phosphorylation in SP-1 keratinocytes.
