Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Cutaneous Aging

Abstract: There are two major theories of aging: the programmatic theory states that aging is an inherent genetic process, and the stochastic theory states that aging represents random environmental damage. Processes that are associated with cellular damage and aging are the production of free radicals (a process much enhanced after ultraviolet irradiation) and an increasing number of errors during DNA replication. Cellular manifestations of intrinsic aging include decreased life span of cells, decreased responsiveness … Show more

“…Photoaging of skin is caused by genetically determined or intrinsic processes superimposed upon the degenerative changes due to solar radiation. 1) Alterations and deficiencies of collagen, the major structural component of skin, have been suggested to be a cause of the skin wrinkling observed in photoaged and naturally aged skin. 2,3) The dermis contains predominantly type I and type III collagen, elastin, proteoglycans, and fibronectin.…”

“…UVB-inducible genes comprise several proteinases, among them members of the matrixdegrading metalloproteinase (MMP) superfamily (9,16,(21)(22)(23). As to their proteolytic activity, various UVB-induced matrix-degrading metalloproteinases in dermal fibroblasts contribute to the breakdown of dermal interstitial collagen and other connective tissue components and, thus, besides initiating cutaneous photoaging (15,16,21,22,24) promote tumor invasion and metastasis (25,26).…”

“…Cellular manifestations of intrinsic aging include decreased life span of cells, decreased responsiveness of cells to growth signals, which may reflect loss of cellular receptors to growth factors, and increased responsiveness to growth inhibitors. All these findings are more pronounced in cells derived from photodamaged skin [3].…”
