The aim of this study was to examine whether the combined exposure to solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation and radiofrequency (RF) exposure have any effect on cytokine (IL-1α, IL-6, IL-8) and MMP-1enzyme secretion on in vitro reconstructed human skin model. The full thickness skin models were exposed to UV radiation (2 SED, 4 SED) and radiofrequency (Wi-Fi, UMTS). The IL-1α, IL-6, IL-8 and MMP-1concentrations were measured 24 hours after UV and RF exposures from the culture media by the ELISA method. This experiment was done for the project named “Cellular response to co-exposure of radiofrequency (RF) and solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation in human in vitro skin model (SKIN-RF)”.
