Article Abstract
This study investigated the protective effects of a ceramides derivates from the peach (PF3) on photoaging by UV-irradiated hairless mice. Mice were randomly divided into seven groups: AIN93G without UVB exposure (normal control, NC), AIN93G with UVB exposure (control, C), AIN93G supplemented 100 mg/kg body weight (BW) of L-ascorbic acid with UVB exposure (AA), AIN93G supplemented 100 mg/kg BW of arbutin with UVB exposure (Arbutin), AIN93G supplemented 10 mg/kg BW of PF3 with UVB exposure (10PF3), AIN93G supplemented 20 mg/kg BW of PF3 with UVB exposure (20PF3), and AIN93G supplemented 40 mg/kg BW of PF3 with UVB exposure (40PF3). The study examined the impact of PF3 on skin hydration, wrinkle formation, and melanogenesis using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR), and Western blot analysis. The PF3 demonstrated significant protective effects against photoaging by reducing skin wrinkle formation, decreasing epidermal and dermal thickening, and improving skin hydration. It also enhanced the expression of moisture-related factors (hyaluronic acid synthase [HAS], long-chain ceramides [LCBs], dihydroceramide desaturase 1 [DEGS1], and type I collagen [COL1A]) and antioxidant enzyme activities while reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress markers. The PF3 supplementation positively modulated skin wrinkle formation-related factors, increasing collagen-related gene expression and decreasing matrix metalloproteinases. Additionally, PF3 showed potential in regulating melanogenesis by reducing the nitric oxide and cAMP content, as well as the expression of melanogenesis-related proteins. These comprehensive findings suggest that PF3 supplementation may be an effective strategy for preventing and treating UVB-induced skin photoaging through multiple mechanisms, including improved skin structure, hydration, antioxidant defense, and reduced inflammation and pigmentation.

Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) light, a natural component of sunlight, plays a crucial role in the regulation of plant growth and development. B-box (BBX) proteins are zinc-finger transcription factors essential for plant growth, development, and responses to abiotic stress. The role of BBX5 in UV-B stress responses has not been previously identified.

Background: This study investigated the role of UVB radiation and the influence of a simulated passive barrier on the enzymatic conversion of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D) by 1-alpha hydroxylase and its effects on the functional activity of tissue-resident macrophages.
Methods: Murine peritoneal tissue-resident macrophages (PRMφs) were exposed to three conditions: (1) Baseline (Control group), with no light exposure; (2) UVB+/RF- group, exposed to UVB rays without passive barrier simulation; (3) UVB+/RF+ group, UVB exposure with a thin layer of rat fur to mimic the passive barrier on the skin.
Results: UVB exposure did not significantly alter 25OHD levels across groups but led to a marked downregulation of 1-alpha hydroxylase, particularly with the simulated barrier.
Photosensitivity is central to cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) and dermatomyositis (DM), but the mechanisms linking UVB exposure to tissue-specific autoimmunity are poorly defined. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, UVB provocation, and in vitro modeling, we identify MMP9⁺ CD14⁺ myeloid cells as critical mediators of photosensitivity. These cells expand significantly in lesional skin, produce IFN-b, and colocalize with cytotoxic CD4⁺ T cells at the dermal-epidermal junction.

The medicinal plant is known for its rich secondary metabolite content, which plays a critical role in its therapeutic properties. This study investigates the impact of UV-B radiation on the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, including phenolic compounds, flavonoids, terpenes, carotenoids, and lycopene, as well as the expression of key biosynthetic genes (, , , , and ) in . Plants were exposed to UV-B radiation for 1 and 2 h, and metabolite content and gene expression were measured at intervals of 3, 6, 9, and 12 h post-exposure.

Environmental stimuli, including the exposure to ultraviolet (UV)-B light, are known to play a role in the modulation of immune-mediated mechanisms in multiple sclerosis (MS). In experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), we have shown that UV-B irradiation ameliorates disease outcome by regulatory T cells (Treg) expansion. Moreover, the UV-B-mediated induction of Treg numbers was also observed in MS.
