CHRONIC ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION‐INDUCED INCREASE IN SKIN IRON and THE PHOTOPROTECTIVE EFFECT OF TOPICALLY APPLIED IRON CHELATORS 1,*
Abstract
In the skin of albino hairless mice (Skh:HR-1) there is a basal level of non-heme iron. Chronic exposure of mice to sub-erythemal doses of ultraviolet (UV) B radiation results in an increased skin level of non-heme iron. The iron increase may be the result of a UVB radiation-induced increase in vascular permeability, which we measured in vivo with the dye marker Evans Blue. We also observed greater non-heme iron in sun-exposed vs non-exposed body sites of human skin, suggesting that similar events occur in man. Iron may have a role in skin photodamage by participating in formation of reactive oxygen species. These species have been implicated in skin photodamage. It is known that iron can contribute to oxygen radical production by acting catalytically in the formation of species such as hydroxyl radical. While the basal level of skin iron may be available for catalysis, the elevated iron content of UV-exposed skin increases the potential for iron-catalyzed radical production. Topical application of certain iron chelators to Skh albino hairless mice dramatically delayed the onset of UVB radiation-induced skin photodamage. Non-chelating analogs provided no significant protection.

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.
