UV radiation is the most important modulator of skin pigmentation. In this article we report on novel studies which show that the aryl hydrocarbon receptor, which can be activated by UV-generated photoproducts, mediates a substantial part of UVB-induced skin pigmentation reaction. This newly discovered mechanism opens interesting possibilities for cosmetic and therapeutic treatment of pigment disorders.
紫外线辐射是皮肤色素沉着最重要的调节因素。在本文中,我们报告了一些新的研究,这些研究表明,芳烃受体可被紫外线产生的光产物激活,介导了大部分紫外线B诱导的皮肤色素沉着反应。这一新发现的机制为色素紊乱的美容和治疗开辟了有趣的可能性。
