The capacity of ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation to damage the cutaneous immune system has been extensively documented, and there is good reason to believe that UVB-induced damage is a critical, albeit permissive, factor in the development of sunlight-induced skin cancers. A summary of the evidence shows that acute, low-dose UVB protocols, which resemble quantitatively and qualitatively the manner in which human beings typically experience sun exposure, alter the cutaneous immune system in at least two important ways: they impair the induction of contact hypersensitivity to cutaneous antigens, and induce antigen-specific tolerance. In mice there is compelling evidence that immunogenetic factors dictate whether UVB radiation will impair contact hypersensitivity induction or not. The genetic loci that contain the relevant polymorphic alleles include tumor necrosis factor-α and lipopolysaccharide. Because the effects of UVB radiation on contact hypersensitivity induction are mimicked by intracutaneous injections of subinflammatory doses of tumor necrosis factor-α or cis-urocanic acid, the favored hypothesis to explain the mechanism of action of UVB radiation in UVB-susceptible individuals is that UVB-dependent transformation of trans-to cis-urocanic acid in the epidermis triggers the intracutaneous release of excess amounts of tumor necrosis factor-α. By transiently immobilizing Langerhans cells and other local antigen-presenting cells within the skin, the requirement that hapten be brought to the draining lymph node to sensitive naive hapten-specific T cells is not met, and contact hypersensitivity fails to develop. Because the UVB-susceptibility and UVB-resistance traits have also been demonstrated in human beings, the hypothesis is advanced that these traits are similarly under control of immunogenetic factors, and that a constellation of immune susceptibility genes contributes to the risk of developing sunlight-induced skin cancer.
