Ultraviolet-B irradiation induces epidermal up-regulation of heparanase expression and activity

► Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) are crucial for skin integrity. ► They were shown to decrease in aging skin. ► We demonstrate that heparanase mRNA level and enzymatic activity are up-regulated after UV-B irradiation of keratinocytes. ► We suggest that the resulting heparin–sulfate degradation...
