Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) has widespread effects on the biology and integrity of the skin barrier. Research on the mechanisms that drive these changes, as well as their effect on skin barrier function has been ongoing since the 1980s. However, no studies have examined the impact of UVR on nanoparticle skin penetration. Nanoparticles (NP) are commonly used in sunscreens and other cosmetics, and since consumer use of sunscreen is often applied to sun damaged skin, the effect of UVR on NP skin penetration is a concern due to potential toxicity. In this study we investigate nanoparticle skin penetration by employing an in vivo semiconductor quantum dot nanoparticle (QD) model system. This model system improves NP imaging capabilities and provides additional primary interest due to widespread and expanding use of QD in research applications and manufacturing. In our experiments, carboxylated QD were applied to the skin of SKH-1 mice in a glycerol vehicle with and without UVR exposure. The skin collection and penetration patterns were evaluated 8 and 24 hours after QD application using tissue histology, confocal microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and EDAX analysis. Low levels of penetration were seen in both the non-UVR exposed mice and the UVR exposed mice. Qualitatively higher levels of penetration were observable in the UVR exposed mice. These results are the first for in vivo QD skin penetration, and provide important insight into the ability of QD to penetrate intact and UVR compromised skin barrier. Our findings raise concern that NP of similar size and surface chemistry, such as metal oxide NP found in sunscreens, may also penetrate UV damaged skin.
