Ultraviolet A (UVA) irradiation suppresses skin immune responses by impairing antigen presentation and T cell proliferation. This immune suppression may be partly due to reactive oxygen species, as an antioxidant reversed the effects.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Dermatology
  • Photobiology

Background:

  • Ultraviolet B (UVB) is known to cause immune suppression.
  • The effects of Ultraviolet A (UVA) on immune suppression are not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of UVA on immune responses in vitro and in vivo.
  • To explore the role of reactive oxygen species in UVA-induced immune suppression.

Main Methods:

  • Assessed UVA's effect on epidermal cell antigen-presenting function via T cell proliferation assays.
  • Measured UVA's impact on Langerhans cell costimulatory molecules and ICAM-1 expression.
  • Evaluated UVA's effect on contact hypersensitivity induction and lymph node cell proliferation ex vivo, with and without glutathione treatment.

Main Results:

  • UVA dose-dependently suppressed epidermal cell antigen-presenting function and Langerhans cell costimulatory molecule expression.
  • Glutathione significantly prevented UVA-induced suppression of antigen-presenting function and ICAM-1 expression.
  • UVA irradiation suppressed lymph node cell proliferation in vivo, which was reversed by topical glutathione application.

Conclusions:

  • UVA exposure induces immune suppression, affecting antigen presentation and T cell responses.
  • Reactive oxygen species likely play a role in mediating UVA-induced immune suppression.
  • Antioxidant intervention, like glutathione, can mitigate UVA-induced immunosuppression.
