- Abstract
In this study, we demonstrate that catalase is differently regulated either by acute, or chronic UV radiation during the photoaging process. 2MED of UV radiation decreased the activity and expression of catalase gradually in the epidermis and dermis at between 24 and 48 h after the UV exposure. These levels then returned to near normal by 72 h after exposure. The catalase mRNA was also decreased in the skin 24 h after UV irradiation to 50% of the control level, and then started to recover. In contrast, chronic UV irradiation over a lifetime (approximately 50 years) increased the catalase activity in the epidermis and dermis of the human skin in vivo. Our results suggest that catalase might he one of the important enzymes in the skin aging process, and that it plays an important role in the photoprotection of the skin from UV light.
