Nanocosmetics for broadband light protection sun care products

2018, European Journal of Cell BiologyCitation Excerpt :Within this line, a recent in vitro study using co-culture of melanocytes and keratinocytes demonstrated that UVA or UVB leads to calcium influx and contributes to melanosome transfer through a signaling pathway dependent on retinal, calcium, PLC, and TRPM1 (Hu et al., 2017). The third, and most accepted, mechanism proposed for IPD is the photo-oxidation of melanin precursors in response to UVA radiation and visible light (Honigsmann et al., 1986; Pathak et al., 1962; Pathak and Stratton, 1968; Sklar et al., 2013). In the opposite direction of this traditional view, recent studies have provided evidence that human melanocytes exposed to UVA radiation show an IPD process that is dependent on OPN2, retinal, PLC, IP3, DAG, intra- and extracellular calcium, which ultimately lead to a fast melanin synthesis (Bellono et al., 2013; Bellono et al., 2014; Wicks et al., 2011).
Irradiation of skin with visible light induces reactive oxygen species and matrix-degrading enzymes
2012, Journal of Investigative DermatologyCitation Excerpt :The data presented in this paper suggest that visible light can produce some of the same physiological effects as UV, including inflammation, ROS, and matrix-degrading enzymes being generated in the skin. It is well known that ROS are produced in skin following UV irradiation (Pathak and Stratton, 1968) and are major mediators of oxidative damage to the skin. Singlet oxygen can be generated from the action of UVA and endogenous photosensitizers, such as porphyrins and flavins (Ravanat et al., 2000), which can produce oxidative damage (Pelle et al., 2003).
The Management of Head and Neck Melanoma
2006, Current Problems in SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Within these cells, cytoplasmic organelles termed melanosomes synthesize melanin, which is distributed to surrounding keratinocytes to form a supranuclear cap that provides protection from damaging ultraviolet radiation (UVR).12 The photo-protective property of melanin results from the absorption of both UVR photons and its oxygen radical by-products.13-15 The protective role of melanin is evident through tanning in which UVR exposure increases melanogenesis.
