To study the cumulative influence of UV irradiations on skin matrix alterations, human skin fibroblasts were irradiated successively three‐fold, at 24h intervals, with UVA (3×5J/cm 2 ), UVB (3×8mJ/cm 2 ), UVA plus UVB (3×5J/cm 2 and 3×8mJ/cm 2 ) and the levels of 92kDa gelatinase (pro‐MMP 9 ), 72kDa gelatinase (pro‐MMP 2 ) and plasma‐membrane elastase type protease were determined, following subsequent 24‐h culture in 10% serum‐containing medium. UV irradiations had only minor influence (1.4‐fold increase for UVB) on secreted levels of pro‐MMP 2 and decreased the amount of plasma membrane elastase produced by cells. It did however, for UVA and UVB alone, induce a significant increase of 66kDa activated MMP 2 production: 2.5‐ and 1.7‐fold respectively. Such enhancement was not observed when combined irradiations were administered. UV exposure possessed a much higher influence on pro‐MMP 9 secretion by dermal fibroblast enhancing enzyme levels by 2.5‐, 6.5‐ and 5‐fold for UVA, UVB and UVA+UVB, respectively.
