“…A number of recent studies show that UVB light induces apoptosis in keratinocytes [24,25,26]. In keeping with this observation, intact nuclei were observed in control, and cells treated only with BHE, whereas significant nuclear fragmentation (characteristic of apoptotic body formation) was observed in UVB-irradiated cells (apoptotic index, 19.3).…”

“…These conditions exacerbate degradation of the ozone layer, leading to exposure of the earth’s surface to sunlight containing a large amount of UVB radiation (Bais et al ., 1993; McKenzie et al ., 2011). Although UVB radiation has beneficial effects, such as vitamin D synthesis, on organisms, exposure to excessive amounts of UVB radiation can cause cellular damage and cell death (Drouin and Therrien, 1997; Ali et al ., 2011; Wacker and Holick, 2013). In particular, upon exposure to excessive amounts of UVB radiation, skin cells can undergo death and skin cancer often develops (Drouin and Therrien, 1997; Ali et al ., 2011).…”

In particular, upon exposure to excessive amounts of UVB radiation, skin cells can undergo death and skin cancer often develops (Drouin and Therrien, 1997; Ali et al ., 2011). These effects of UVB radiation are due to the induction of DNA damage and oxidative stress via ROS generation in skin cells (Ravanat et al ., 2001; Fagot et al ., 2002; Ichihashi et al ., 2003).…”
