Ultraviolet A-Induced Cathepsin K Expression Is Mediated via MAPK/AP-1 Pathway in Human Dermal Fibroblasts

BACKGROUND: Cathepsin K (CatK), a cysteine protease with the potent elastolytic activity, plays a predominant role in intracellular elastin degradation in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs), and contributes to solar elastosis. In previous studies, CatK expression was downregulated in photoaged skin and...
