Physical contact between melanocytes and keratinocytes is a prerequisite for melanosome transfer to occur, but cellular signals induced during or after contact are not fully understood. Herein, it is shown that interactions between melanocyte and keratinocyte plasma membranes induced a transient intracellular calcium signal in keratinocytes that was required for pigment transfer. This intracellular calcium signal occurred due to release of calcium from intracellular stores. Pigment transfer observed in melanocyte-keratinocyte co-cultures was inhibited when intracellular calcium in keratinocytes was chelated. We propose that a 'ligand-receptor' type interaction exists between melanocytes and keratinocytes that triggers intracellular calcium signalling in keratinocytes and mediates melanin transfer. 相似文献

Striking differences are observed in the melanogenic response of normal human melanocytes to UVA and UVB irradiation depending on culture conditions and the presence of keratinocytes. Exposure of melanocytes co‐cultured with keratinocytes to UVB irradiation triggered, already at low doses (5 mJ/cm2), an increase in melanin synthesis whereas in melanocyte mono‐cultures, UVB doses up to 50 mJ/cm2 had no melanogenic effect. Unlike UVB, UVA exposure caused the same melanogenic response in both mono‐ and co‐cultures. Removing certain keratinocyte growth factors from the co‐culture medium abolished the melanogenic response to UVB, but not to UVA exposure. When integrated into the basal layer of a reconstructed human epidermis, human melanocytes similarly reacted to UVA and UVB irradiation as in vivo by increasing their production and transfer of melanin to the neighboring keratinocytes which resulted in a noticeable tanning of the reconstructed epidermis. The presence of a dense stratum corneum, known to scatter and absorb UV light, is responsible for higher minimal UVB and UVA doses required to trigger a melanogenic response in the reconstructed epidermis compared to keratinocyte–melanocyte co‐cultures. Furthermore, an immediate tanning response was observed in the pigmented epidermis following UVA irradiation. From these results we conclude that: (i) keratinocytes play an important role in mediating UVB‐induced pigmentation, (ii) UVA‐induced pigmentation is the result of a rather direct effect on melanocytes and (iii) reconstructed pigmented epidermis is the most appropriate model to study UV‐induced pigmentation in vitro. 相似文献

Repeated exposure of ultraviolet radiation B (UVB) on the dorsal skin of hairless mice induces the development of pigmented spots long after its cessation. The proliferation and differentiation of epidermal melanocytes in UVB‐induced pigmented spots are greatly increased, and those effects are regulated by keratinocytes rather than by melanocytes. However, it remains to be resolved what factor(s) derived from keratinocytes are involved in regulating the proliferation and differentiation of epidermal melanocytes. In this study, primary melanoblasts (c. 80%) and melanocytes (c. 20%) derived from epidermal cell suspensions of mouse skin were cultured in a basic fibroblast growth factor‐free medium supplemented with granulocyte‐macrophage colony‐stimulating factor (GM‐CSF). GM‐CSF induced the proliferation and differentiation of melanocytes in those keratinocyte‐depleted cultures. Moreover, an antibody to GM‐CSF inhibited the proliferation of melanoblasts and melanocytes from epidermal cell suspensions derived from the pigmented spots of UV‐irradiated mice, but not from control mice. Further, the GM‐CSF antibody inhibited the proliferation and differentiation of melanocytes co‐cultured with keratinocytes derived from UV‐irradiated mice, but not from control mice. The quantity of GM‐CSF secreted from keratinocytes derived from the pigmented spots of UV‐irradiated mice was much greater than that secreted from keratinocytes derived from control mice. Moreover, immunohistochemistry revealed the expression of GM‐CSF in keratinocytes derived from the pigmented spots of skin in UV‐irradiated mice, but not from normal skin in control mice. These results suggest that GM‐CSF is one of the keratinocyte‐derived factors involved in regulating the proliferation and differentiation of mouse epidermal melanocytes from UVB‐induced pigmented spots. 相似文献

The protease-activated receptor 2 regulates pigmentation via keratinocyte-melanocyte interactions 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

Close association exists between melanocytes, the pigment melanin-producing cells in the body, and their neighboring keratinocytes. Keratinocytes are the pigment recipients and skin pigmentation is the result of this interaction. While the chemical basis of melanin production (melanogenesis) is well documented, the molecular mechanism of melanosome transfer needs to be elucidated. We are now providing first evidence that the protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR-2) expressed on keratinocytes, but not on melanocytes, is involved in melanosome transfer and therefore may regulate pigmentation. Activation of PAR-2 with trypsin or with the peptide agonist SLIGRL induced pigmentation in both two- and three-dimensional cocultures of keratinocytes and melanocytes, but not in cocultures that were spatially separated, indicating the need for intimate cell-cell contact. Topical application of SLIGRL on human skin transplanted on SCID mice resulted in a visible skin darkening. Histological examination revealed increased deposits of melanin in the keratinocytes. Inhibition of PAR-2 activation by RWJ-50353, a serine protease inhibitor, resulted in depigmentation and changes in expression of melanogenic-specific genes. Keratinocyte-melanocyte contact was essential for this depigmenting effect. Topical application of this inhibitor induced lightening of the dark skin Yucatan swine, which was confirmed by histochemical analysis. The results presented here suggest a novel mechanism for the regulation of pigmentation, mediated by the activation or inhibition of the keratinocyte receptor PAR-2. 相似文献

The epidermal–melanin unit is composed of one melanocyte and approximately 36 neighboring keratinocytes, working in synchrony to produce and distribute melanin. Melanin is synthesized in melanosomes, transferred to the dendrite tips, and translocated into keratinocytes, forming caps over the keratinocyte nuclei. The molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in melanosome transfer and the keratinocyte–melanocyte interactions required for this process are not yet completely understood. Suggested mechanisms of melanosome transfer include melanosome release and endocytosis, direct inoculation (‘injection’), keratinocyte–melanocyte membrane fusion, and phagocytosis. Studies of the keratinocyte receptor protease‐activated receptor‐2 (PAR‐2) support the phagocytosis theory. PAR‐2 controls melanosome ingestion and phagocytosis by keratinocytes and exerts a regulatory role in skin pigmentation. Modulation of PAR‐2 activity can enhance or decrease melanosome transfer and affects pigmentation only when there is keratinocyte–melanocyte contact. Moreover, PAR‐2 is induced by UV irradiation and inhibition of PAR‐2 activation results in the prevention of UVB‐induced tanning. The role of PAR‐2 in mediating UV‐induced responses remains to be elucidated. 相似文献

A pilot study for grafting of patients with vitiligo using cultured epithelial autografts containing melanocytes gave disappointing clinical results, with pigmentation achieved in only one out of five patients. Irrespective of the fate of melanocytes grafted back onto the patients, we experienced problems in identifying melanocytes within these well‐integrated keratinocyte sheets. This led us to explore the fate of these cells within these sheets in vitro and to seek to improve their number and function within the sheets. We report that the introduction of a fibroblast feeder layer can improve melanocyte number within melanocyte/keratinocyte co‐cultures initially, but at very high keratinocyte density, there is a marked loss of melanocytes (as detected by staining for S100). Additionally, we found that keratinocytes not only down‐regulate melanocyte number, but also pigmentary function; thus, it was possible to identify melanocytes that were S100 positive but tyrosinase‐related protein‐1 (TRP‐1) negative in confluent well‐integrated keratinocyte sheets. In summary, our data suggest that keratinocytes at high density initially suppress melanocyte pigmentation (as evidenced by a lack of TRP‐1 expression) and then cause a physical loss of melanocytes. The introduction of a fibroblast feeder layer can help maintain melanocyte number while keratinocytes are subconfluent, but fails to oppose the inhibitory influence of the keratinocytes on melanocyte TRP‐1 expression. 相似文献

Human epidermal keratinocytes differentiate in vitro into a stratified epithelium suitable for grafting on burned patients. In this paper, we show that differentiated melanocytes are present in the cultured epithelium. In particular, we have found that i) melanocytes proliferate in the same culture conditions that allow keratinocyte growth, ii) during the culture the ratio between keratinocytes and melanocytes tends to remain constant, iii) melanocytes organize into the basal layer of the cultured epithelium independently of the presence of dermis, develop dendritic arborizations with melanosome-containing processes and transfer melanosomes into keratinocyte cytoplasm. 相似文献

The characterization of melanoblasts is important for understanding their in vivo development, melanoma formation, and pigment‐related disorders. However, no methods have been reported for the isolation of melanoblasts from human skin. Using a ‘calcium‐pulse’ technique, involving the differentiation of human keratinocytes with high calcium and the subsequent spontaneous separation of the epidermal sheets, we effectively isolated human melanoblasts (keratinocyte‐adapted melanoblasts, KaMBs) from keratinocyte culture. The KaMBs expressed early melanogenesis‐related genes, including BRN2, which is a known melanoblast marker. Moreover, the KaMBs displayed much higher proliferative and growth capacities than the primary melanocytes. Considering that keratinocytes might provide an in vivo‐like environment for KaMBs during isolation and in vitro culture, the ‘calcium‐pulse’ technique offers an unprecedented, easy, and efficient method for the isolation of human melanoblasts, retaining the original characteristics of these cells. 相似文献

Phospholipase C-gamma1 is the most abundant member of the phospholipase C family in keratinocytes and is induced by calcium. Phospholipase C-gamma1, therefore, may be involved in the signal transduction system leading to calcium regulation of keratinocyte differentiation. To test this hypothesis, expression of phospholipase C-gamma1 in human keratinocytes was blocked by transfecting cells with the antisense human phospholipase C-gamma1 cDNA construct. These cells demonstrated a dramatic reduction in phospholipase C-gamma1 protein level compared with the empty vector-transfected cells and a marked reduction in the mRNA and protein levels of the differentiation markers involucrin and transglutaminase following administration of calcium. Similarly, cotransfection of antisense phospholipase C-gamma1 constructs with a luciferase reporter vector containing involucrin or transglutaminase promoters led to a substantial reduction in calcium-stimulated involucrin and transglutaminase promoter activities. Similar results were seen following treatment with a specific phospholipase C inhibitor U73122. To determine whether phospholipase C-gamma1 regulated differentiation by controlling intracellular calcium, we examined the ability of antisense phospholipase C-gamma1 to block the calcium-induced rise in intracellular calcium and found that it could. These findings indicate that phospholipase C-gamma1 is a critical component of the signaling pathway mediating calcium regulation of keratinocyte differentiation via its mobilization of intracellular calcium. 相似文献

Active roles of cell-cell interaction between melanocytes and neighboring keratinocytes for the regulation of melanocyte functions in the skin have been suggested. We examined substantial regulatory mechanisms of keratinocyte extracellular matrix (kECMs) for normal human melanocyte functions without direct cell-cell contact. We specially devised kECMs from proliferating or differentiating keratinocytes and further treated them with environmental stimulus ultraviolet B (UVB) for skin pigmentary system. Normal human melanocytes (NHM) were cultured on the various keratinocyte ECMs and initially the effects of the kECMs upon melanocyte morphology (dendrite formation and extension), growth, melanin production and expressions of pigmentation-associated protein (MEL-5) and proliferation-associated protein (proliferating cell nuclear antigen; PCNA/cyclin) were studied. Then we compared the effects of these cell-matrix interactions with those of direct melanocyte-keratinocyte, cell-cell contact in co-culture on melanocyte functions. Melanocytes cultured on any types of the kECMs that were tested significantly extended dendrites more than that on plastic cell culture dish without kECM (control). Melanocytes cultured on the kECM prepared from UVB irradiated differentiating keratinocytes resulted in 219% increase in the number of dendrites. The growth of melanocytes on kECMs was also stimulated up to 280% of control. The kECM produced by proliferating keratinocytes had a more significant effect on the growth than kECM from differentiating keratinocytes. This melanocyte growth stimulating effect was decreased with kECM from UVB treated differentiating keratinocytes. The melanin content per melanocyte was constant on any of the kECMs. Expression of pigmentation-associated protein detected by monoclonal antibody, MEL-5, was not changed on the kECM, while it was increased in melanocytes in co-culture with keratinocytes. Expression of PCNA/cyclin in melanocytes cultured on kECMs was generally downregulated on kECM and in co-culture compared to that in a control culture. We demonstrated that the kECMs play important roles in the melanocyte morphology and proliferation. These observations suggest that environmental (UVB) and physiological (Ca++) stimuli can regulate melanocyte functions through the keratinocyte extracellular matrix in vivo. 相似文献

Primary melanocytes isolated from skin and expanded in culture have been widely used for laboratory research and clinical applications. The conventional method to isolate primary melanocytes from skin usually requires about 3–4 weeks of culture for melanocytes to grow sufficiently to passage. Considering that melanocytes comprise only 3%–7% of epidermal cells in normal human skin, it would be extremely helpful to increase the isolation efficiency and shorten the initial culture time to quickly meet various application needs. Here, we report that adding Y‐27632, a Rho kinase inhibitor, into the initial culture medium for 2 days can dramatically increase the yield of melanocytes. We found that Y‐27632 can promote keratinocyte attachment and survival in the melanocyte culture system, resulting in not only better recovery, but also increased proliferation of melanocytes by a paracrine signaling pathway. More specifically, Y‐27632 significantly induced keratinocyte expression of stem cell factor, which played an important role in enhancing the growth of melanocytes. In summary, Y‐27632 could profoundly enhance the yield of primary melanocytes in the initial culture through paracrine effects on keratinocytes. 相似文献

Reconstructed pigmented epidermis was established by co‐seeding autologous melanocytes and keratinocytes onto a dermal substrate and culturing for up to 6 weeks at the air–liquid interface. Inspection of the tissue architecture revealed that melanocytes are regularly interspersed only in the basal layer and transfer melanosomes to the keratinocytes. We report for the first time, the in vitro formation of supranuclear melanin caps above the keratinocyte nuclei. The formation and abundance of these melanin caps could be enhanced by pigment modifiers such as ultraviolet light and 3‐isobutyl‐1‐methyl‐xanthine (IBMX). In untreated cultures, the capping was observed in the spinous layers after 6 weeks of culture, whereas after irradiation or supplementation of the culture medium with IBMX, the capping occurred already in the basal layer 2 weeks after initiation of the stimulus. In this study, we show that IBMX and ultraviolet irradiation stimulate pigmentation via different mechanisms. After supplementation of the culture medium with IBMX the increase in pigmentation was entirely due to the increase in melanocyte activity as observed by increased dendrite formation, melanin production and transport to the keratinocytes and was not due to an increase in melanocyte proliferation. In contrast, after UV irradiation, the increase in pigmentation was also accompanied with an increase in melanocyte proliferation as well as an increase in melanocyte activity. In conclusion, we describe the establishment of pigmented reconstructed epidermis with autologous keratinocytes and melanocytes that can be kept in culture for a period of at least 6 weeks. The complete program of melanogenesis occurs: melanosome synthesis, melanosome transport to keratinocytes, supranuclear capping of keratinocyte nuclei and tanning of the epidermis. This enables sustained application of pigment stimulators over a prolonged period of time and also repeated application of pigment stimulators to be studied. 相似文献

Skin pigmentation involves the production of the pigment melanin by melanocytes, in melanosomes and subsequent transfer to keratinocytes. Within keratinocytes, melanin polarizes to the apical perinuclear region to form a protective cap, shielding the DNA from ultraviolet radiation‐induced damage. Previously, we found evidence to support the exocytosis by melanocytes of the melanin core, termed melanocore, followed by endo/phagocytosis by keratinocytes as a main form of transfer, with Rab11b playing a key role in the process. Here, we report the requirement for the exocyst tethering complex in melanocore exocytosis and transfer to keratinocytes. We observed that the silencing of the exocyst subunits Sec8 or Exo70 impairs melanocore exocytosis from melanocytes, without affecting melanin synthesis. Moreover, we confirmed by immunoprecipitation that Rab11b interacts with Sec8 in melanocytes. Furthermore, we found that the silencing of Sec8 or Exo70 in melanocytes impairs melanin transfer to keratinocytes. These results support our model as melanocore exocytosis from melanocytes is essential for melanin transfer to keratinocytes and skin pigmentation and suggest that the role of Rab11b in melanocore exocytosis is mediated by the exocyst. 相似文献

Human skin hyperpigmentation disorders occur when the synthesis and/or distribution of melanin increases. The distribution of melanin in the skin is achieved by melanosome transport and transfer. The transport of melanosomes, the organelles where melanin is made, in a melanocyte precedes the transfer of the melanosomes to a keratinocyte. Therefore, hyperpigmentation can be regulated by decreasing melanosome transport. In this study, we found that an extract of Saururus chinensis Baill (ESCB) and one of its components, manassantin B, inhibited melanosome transport in Melan‐a melanocytes and normal human melanocytes (NHMs). Manassantin B disturbed melanosome transport by disrupting the interaction between melanophilin and myosin Va. Manassantin B is neither a direct nor an indirect inhibitor of tyrosinase. The total melanin content was not reduced when melanosome transport was inhibited in a Melan‐a melanocyte monoculture by manassantin B. Manassantin B decreased melanin content only when Melan‐a melanocytes were co‐cultured with SP‐1 keratinocytes or stimulated by α‐MSH. Therefore, we propose that specific inhibitors of melanosome transport, such as manassantin B, are potential candidate or lead compounds for the development of agents to treat undesirable hyperpigmentation of the skin. 相似文献

To study pigmentation, we have reconstructed an epidermis ex vivo with keratinocytes and melanocytes. Keratinocytes and melanocytes were grown first in primary cocultures and separately in secondary cultures, then seeded on a dead deepidermized dermis (Pruniéras type) at a 1:20 melanocyte/keratinocyte ratio. Reconstructed epidermis were grown in a special medium enriched with calcium and fetal bovine serum lifted for 15 days at the air-liquid interface. Using histology, immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy we have shown an excellent level of differentiation of the reconstructed epidermis and a physiologic distribution of dendritic melanocytes in the basal layer capable of melanosome transfer to keratinocytes. UVB irradiation 0.15 J/cm2× 5 consecutive days increased melanocyte numbers and stimulated pigmentation as evidenced macroscopically and microscopically and at the biochemical level. Following UVB irradiation melanosome transfer was markedly increased and isolated or clumps of melanosomes were seen in the basal layers as well as in the stratum corneum. This model allows the study of the physiology of pigmentation ex vivo. 相似文献

Epidermal pigmentation and UV exposure are related to the incidence of skin tumors. There is a higher incidence of UV related skin tumors in populations with low pigment and in vitiligo patients, resulting from DNA damage. Normally DNA repair processes set in with the expression of PCNA in the keratinocyte. The present study was conducted on the marginal zone skin in vitiligo. Whole skin organ cultures irradiated with increasing doses of UV in the 280–400 nm range show that in the depigmented area there is no expression of PCNA by the keratinocytes. In comparison, the marginal zone keratinocytes show a dose related positivity in the presence of UV responsive melanocytes. These photoresponsive melanocytes show dendricity and cytoplasmic PCNA positivity. The melanocytes interact with keratinocytes by active melanosome transfer. From this study it is suggested that this involves transfer of PCNA as well. The present study indicates the differentiating keratinocytes in skin do not express PCNA but appear to be dependent on active UV responding melanocytes for DNA repair. This factor could play an important role in the occurrence of UV-related skin tumors. 相似文献

Cutaneous wound healing requires keratinocyte proliferation, migration and differentiation to restore the barrier function of the skin. The calcineurin/nuclear factor of activated-T-cell (NFAT) signaling pathway has been recently shown to be involved in keratinocyte growth, differentiation and migration. It is induced by an increased intracellular calcium rate and its inhibition results in decreased capacities of keratinocytes to migrate. Nevertheless, the link between calcineurin activation and keratinocyte migration remains unknown. Recently, Orai1, a pore subunit of a store-operated calcium channel that favors calcium influx, was shown to play a critical role to control proliferation and migration of basal keratinocytes. Of interest, the actin-bundling T-plastin is crucial in cell motility through cross-linking to actin filament and its synthesis was shown to be induced by calcium influx and regulated by the calcineurin/NFAT pathway in tumor Sezary cells. We investigated herein the role of the calcineurin/NFAT pathway-dependent T-plastin in keratinocyte migration, by quantifying T-plastin expression in keratinocytes and by analyzing their migration under calcineurin inhibition or knockdown of NFAT2 or T-plastin. We did confirm the role of the calcineurin/NFAT pathway in keratinocyte migration as shown by their decreased capacities to migrate after FK506 treatment or siNFAT2 transfection in both scratching and Boyden assays. The expression of NFAT2 and T-plastin in keratinocytes was decreased under FK506 treatment, suggesting that T-plastin plays a role in keratinocyte migration downstream to the calcineurin/NFAT pathway. Accordingly, siRNA knockdown of T-plastin expression also decreased their migration capacities. Actin lamellipodia formation as well as FAK and β6-integrin expression were also significantly decreased after treatment with FK506 or siRNA, reinforcing that NFAT2-dependent T-plastin expression plays a role in keratinocyte migration. These results indicate that T-plastin might be considered as a major actor in the mechanisms underlying calcineurin/NFAT-dependent keratinocyte migration and may explain wound-healing defects observed in patients under calcineurin inhibitor long-term treatment. 相似文献
