Ceramide accelerates ultraviolet-induced MMP-1 expression through JAK1/STAT-1 pathway in cultured human dermal fibroblasts

Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation accelerates formation of ceramide through hydrolysis of sphingomyelin and de novo synthesis. Here, we investigated the effects of ceramide on UV-induced matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) expression in human dermal fibroblasts. Our results showed that acidic-sphingomyeli...
