    Abstract Adipogenesis has emerged as a new therapeutic target for regulating metabolism and achieving anti-inflammatory and anti-atherosclerotic effects via the release of adiponectin. However, at present, the effects and mechanism of action of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) stimulation on adiponectin production and adipogenesis have not been clarified. Here, we investigated the effects of DPP4 stimulation with monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) on platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα) expression in adipose tissue and blood adiponectin levels. Stromal vascular fractions (SVFs) purified from human subcutaneous adipose tissue and inguinal adipose tissue of obese and diabetic (

    Abstract Sunscreen use, which prolonged the time required to develop sunburn by reducing the irradiance (mW/cm²) of the UVB radiation, is thought to protect the skin from developing cancers. Recently, in addition to fluence (mJ/cm²), irradiance of the UVB radiation was demonstrated to play an important role leading to photocarcinogenesis of the skin. After equivalent fluence of UVB exposure, enhanced aberrant keratinocyte proliferation contributes significantly to the photocarcinogenic capacity of low irradiance (LI) UVB as compared to its high irradiance (HI) UVB counterpart. However, the mechanism involved remains unclear.Relevant cell and animal models were employed to investigate the effects of equivalent UVB fluence administered at HI or LI on keratinocyte proliferation. Additionally, the mechanisms involved were also explored.We found that at equivalent fluence, LIUVB induces significantly higher reactive oxidative species (ROS) production, cell proliferation, as well as phosphorylated AKT (pAKT) expression in both cell and animal models as compare to its HIUVB counterpart. Pretreating cultured keratinocytes with antioxidant or AKT inhibitor significantly reduced the UVB-induced ROS, cell proliferation, and pAKT expression. Additionally, these pretreatments abrogate the difference between the LI and HIUVB treated keratinocytes. Similar findings were noted using animal model treated with AKT inhibitor.In summary, at equivalent fluence, LIUVB induces significantly more aberrant epidermal proliferation via enhanced ROS and pAKT signaling. Reducing UVB-induced AKT phosphorylation presents a novel strategy to improve the protective capacity of the currently available sunscreens.

    Abstract Background: Ultraviolet B (UVB) is commonly used for treating dermatologic conditions. Recently, high irradiance UVB (HIUVB) has been suggested to be more effective for treating skin conditions as compared to its low irradiance (LI) counterpart. The biological impact of UVB radiation emitted at different irradiance on cutaneous immunity remains obscure.
    Objective: This study aimed to explore the impacts of UVB radiation administered at equivalent fluence (mJ/cm
    Methods: Cultured bone marrow derived dendritic cell (BMDC) were treated with equivalent fluence of UVB radiation with HIUVB or LIUVB. The phenotypic and functional alterations of BMDCs were documented. Animal models were used to validate the in vitro results in vivo and explore the mechanisms involved.
    Results: After equivalent fluence of UVB radiation, the HIUVB treated BMDC showed significantly lower MHCII and CD86 expressions, reduced capacity to stimulate T cell proliferation, and enhanced activation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-activated genes as compared to control while their LIUVB treated counterpart showed no significant change. Using animal model, the HIUVB induced significantly higher immune suppressive effect in mice as compared to their LIUVB counterpart after equivalent fluence of UVB treatment. The superior immune suppressive effect of HIUVB over LIUVB radiation was not observed when similar experiments were performed using AhR-deficient mice.
    Conclusion: We propose irradiance played an important role modulating UVB-induced cutaneous immune suppression. Future works on UVB phototherapy, both clinical and research, should incorporate this important parameter into consideration.

    Abstract Light exposure modulates development of living organisms. In the field of medicine, light has frequently been used for regenerative purposes. Excimer light (308 nm) has demonstrated superior efficacy in treating vitiligo, a condition requiring development of melanoblasts and a model for studying nerve cell regeneration, as compared to narrow-band ultraviolet B (NBUVB; 311 nm). Using mouse-derived melanoblast cells to examine the pro-differentiation effects of these two light sources, we demonstrated that at equivalent fluence, excimer light induces melanoblast differentiation, while NBUVB failed to so. Mechanistically, activation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor pathway and nuclear translocation of epidermal growth factor receptor are involved in pro-differentiation effects of excimer light. Reduction in irradiance by filter abrogated the effects of excimer light in melanoblasts, even when equivalent fluence was delivered by the same light source. As ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation is closely associated pigment cell development, future therapy employing UVB for pigmentation purposes should incorporate irradiance as a crucial specification.

    Abstract Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation from the sun may lead to photocarcinogenesis of the skin. Sunscreens were used to protect the skin by reducing UVB irradiance, but sunscreen use did not reduce sunburn episodes. It was shown that UVB-induced erythema depends on surface exposure but not irradiance of UVB. We previously showed that irradiance plays a critical role in UVB-induced cell differentiation. This study investigated the impact of irradiance on UVB-induced photocarcinogenesis. For hairless mice receiving equivalent exposure of UVB radiation, the low irradiance (LI) UVB treated mice showed more rapid tumor development, larger tumor burden, and more keratinocytes harboring mutant p53 in the epidermis as compared to their high irradiance (HI) UVB treated counterpart. Mechanistically, using cell models, we demonstrated that LI UVB radiation allowed more keratinocytes harboring DNA damages to enter cell cycle via ERK-related signaling as compared to its HI UVB counterpart. These results indicated that at equivalent exposure, UVB radiation at LI has higher photocarcinogenic potential as compared to its HI counterpart. Since erythema is the observed sunburn at moderate doses and use of sunscreen was not found to associate with reduced sunburn episodes, the biological significance of sunburn with or without sunscreen use warrants further investigation.
