The UV waveband dependencies in mice differ for the suppression of contact hypersensitivity, delayed-type hypersensitivity and cis-urocanic acid formation.

Solar radiation contains ultraviolet B (280-315 nm) and ultraviolet A (ultraviolet AII, 315-340 nm; ultraviolet AI, 340-400 nm) wavebands. Ultraviolet B is known to suppress certain aspects of cell mediated immunity. Using three ultraviolet lamps (the broad-band ultraviolet B TL-12, the narrow-band

Lack of correlation between suppression of contact hypersensitivity by UV radiation and photoisomerization of epidermal urocanic acid in the hairless mouse.

The immunological consequences of exposure to UVA (320-400 nm) radiation are unclear. This study describes the relationship between the generation of epidermal cis-urocanic acid and the ability to respond to a contact-sensitizing agent, in hairless mice exposed to different UV radiation sources,

Ultraviolet-irradiated urocanic acid suppresses delayed-type hypersensitivity to herpes simplex virus in mice.

Ultraviolet radiation is known to induce a transient defect in epidermal antigen presentation which leads to the generation of antigen-specific suppression of the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response. The putative receptor in skin for the primary event in UV-suppression is urocanic acid

Topical cis-urocanic acid suppresses both induction and elicitation of contact hypersensitivity in BALB/C mice.

Cis-urocanic acid, converted from trans-urocanic acid in stratum corneum by ultraviolet B irradiation, has been shown to impair contact hypersensitivity induction. To study whether topical cis-urocanic acid also alters contact hypersensitivity elicitation, as well as immediate hypersensitivity and

cis-urocanic acid induces mast cell degranulation and release of preformed TNF-alpha: A possible mechanism linking UVB and cis-urocanic acid to immunosuppression of contact hypersensitivity.

The search for effective inhibitors of transdermal drug-induced contact sensitization was directed to dermal mast-cell-degranulating agents (MCDA). Human skin organ cultures were employed to test whether cis-urocanic acid (C-UA) and other potential MCDAs cause mast cell degranulation. These were

cis-urocanic acid is not useful as an immunosuppressive agent in the treatment of human allergic contact dermatitis.

The effect of chronic treatment of mice with urocanic acid isomers.

Trans-urocanic acid (trans-UCA) accumulates in the upper layers of the epidermis and can be isomerized to cis-UCA by UV light irradiation. Cis-urocanic acid possesses immunosuppressive properties that have led to its consideration as one of the initiators of UV-induced immunosuppression. High

The effect of histamine receptor antagonists on immunosuppression induced by the cis-isomer of urocanic acid.

Only registered users can translate articles

Urocanic acid (UCA) is found in the stratum corneum predominantly as the trans-isomer; on ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation, isomerization to the cis-isomer occurs. Cis-UCA has been shown to mimic the consequences of UVB irradiation in generating transient suppression of contact and delayed

Histamine and cis-urocanic acid augment tumor necrosis factor-alpha mediated induction of keratinocyte intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression.

Early cellular and molecular events in inflamed skin include the active participation of epidermal keratinocytes (KCs) and dermal mast cells which can produce diffusible mediators such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), histamine, and urocanic acid (UCA). Rapid induction of adhesion

Cis-urocanic acid attenuates histamine receptor-mediated activation of adenylate cyclase and increase in intracellular Ca2+.

UVB irradiation causes suppression of delayed hypersensitivity. Various photoreceptors and mediators of these changes have been proposed, one of which is cis-urocanic acid formed from the naturally occurring trans-urocanic acid in the epidermis on exposure to UV irradiation. The mechanism by which

Inhibition of skin allograft rejection and acute graft-versus-host disease by cis-urocanic acid.

Only registered users can translate articles

Ultraviolet B radiation initiates a suppression of the delayed-type hypersensitivity response accompanied by a generation of antigen-specific suppressor cells and an alteration of antigen-presenting function. In previous studies we and other investigators could achieve a prolongation of graft

Quantification of urocanic acid isomers in murine skin during development and after irradiation with UVB light.

Urocanic acid has been postulated as the photoreceptor mediator of immunosuppression induced by ultraviolet-B (UVB) irradiation. We have shown previously that transplanted epidermal cells from neonatal mice, irradiated mice or mice skin painted with cis-urocanic acid suppress the immune responses to

Determination of histidine and urocanic acid isomers in the human skin by high-performance capillary electrophoresis.

Histidine was baseline separated from histamine, 1-methylhistamine and cis- and trans-urocanic acid using high-performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE) on a fused-silica column (50 cm x 75 microm) with 0.05 M NaH2PO4 buffer, pH 5.0, and 12 kV. The detection limit of histidine, trans- and

Regulation of tumor antigen presentation by urocanic acid.

Urocanic acid (UCA) accumulates in the epidermis after deamination of histidine. UCA isomerizes from the trans to the cis form upon exposure to environmental UV radiation. Cis-UCA is immunosuppressive in several models. Topically applied cis-UCA was reported to enhance the cutaneous tumor yield in

[Urocanic acid and its role in the photoimmunomodulation process].

Only registered users can translate articles

Urocanic acid (UCA) is a metabolite of the amino acid histidine. It represents an important chromatophore in epidermis, which can absorb ultraviolet rays in UVB and UVA region and sequentially convert it from trans- to cis-isomer. Cis-isomer is not further degraded; it accumulates in the skin and is
