+ | The mechanisms and consequences of ultraviolet-induced immunosuppression in the skin and eye. | ||

+ | From Biomedical Sciences, University of Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom. | ||
+ | Abstract | ||
+ | Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) of the skin results in immune suppression to antigens encountered shortly after the exposure. The pathways leading to the downregulation in immunity are complex, initiated by chromophores located at the surface of the skin and ending with the generation of immunosuppressive mediators and regulatory cells. Ultraviolet-induced immunosuppression can be considered not only as beneficial, such as in preventing chronic inflammatory responses and allergic and automimmune reactions, but it can also be detrimental, | ||
+ | PMID: 21709488 | ||
+ | |||
+ | Little information is available currently as most epidemiological surveys that have monitored immune responses to vaccines do not consider solar UVR or the sun exposure of individuals, | ||

CONCLUSION: This first study of the distribution of myositis phenotypes and UV radiation exposure in the US showed that UV radiation may modulate the clinical and immunologic expression of autoimmune disease in women. Further investigation of the mechanisms by which these effects are produced may provide insights into pathogenesis and suggest therapeutic or preventative strategies. | CONCLUSION: This first study of the distribution of myositis phenotypes and UV radiation exposure in the US showed that UV radiation may modulate the clinical and immunologic expression of autoimmune disease in women.
