UVB and Proinflammatory Cytokines Synergistically Activate TNF-α Production in Keratinocytes through Enhanced Gene Transcription
Open accessAbstract
UVB irradiation potently induces cytokines in the skin, including IL-1alpha and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). The mechanism for TNF-alpha induction in UVB-irradiated keratinocytes is not clear. In this study, we explored the effects of UVB and cytokines, alone or in combination in human keratinocytes. Keratinocytes were sham- or UVB-irradiated with 30 mJ cm(-2), and then incubated in the absence or presence of IFN-alpha2b, TNF-alpha, or IL-1alpha. UVB and IL-1alpha treatment synergistically enhanced TNF-alpha secretion and mRNA levels in human keratinocytes, similar to the findings reported previously in human fibroblasts. Exogenous recombinant TNF-alpha up-regulates its own mRNA level. However, addition of IFN-alpha2b did not show any additive effect on TNF-alpha mRNA induction. To understand the regulation of TNF-alpha mRNA by UVB, with or without IL-1alpha, we examined the transcription rate and half-life of TNF-alpha mRNA. Treatment of keratinocytes with IL-1alpha or UVB alone increased TNF-alpha gene transcription 4- to 5-fold over sham treatment, and TNF-alpha gene transcription increased 11-fold in cells treated with UVB plus IL-1alpha over sham. UVB with IL-1alpha did not enhance the half-life of TNF-alpha mRNA over that seen with UVB alone. In conclusion, TNF-alpha expression in primary keratinocytes is upregulated transcriptionally by UVB and IL-1alpha.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
