Abstract excerpt
UV-A irradiation causes a dose-dependent activation of ERK in human NCTC 2544 keratinocytes. The specific inhibition of either ERK activity or Raf kinase activity impedes the activation of AP-1 DNA binding induced by UV-A. In addition, UV-A raises AP-1 promoter transcriptional activity, which is downregulated in NCTC 2544 cells expressing an inactive mutant of Raf-1. We found that singlet oxygen might be one of...
