UVB radiation contributes to both direct and indirect damage the skin including generation of free radicals reactive oxygen species (ROS), inflammatory responses, immunosuppression gene mutations, which can ultimately lead photocarcinogenesis. A plant-derived flavonoid, baicalin, has been shown have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory radical scavenging activities. Previous studies from our laboratory that in murine skin, Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) enhanced UVB-induced DNA inflammation. The aim...
Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) account for majority of skin malignancies in the United States. The incidence BCCs is strongly associated with exposure ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich-repeat-containing family, pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome plays an important role innate immune responses. Different stimuli such as toxins, microorganisms and particles released from injured cells activate NLRP3 inflammasome. Activated results activation...
