Molecular and biochemical mechanisms that switch melanocytes between the production of eumelanin or pheomelanin involve the opposing action of two intercellular signaling molecules, alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH) and agouti signal protein (ASP). In this study, we have characterized the physiological effects of ASP on eumelanogenic melanocytes in culture. Following exposure of black melan-a murine melanocytes to purified recombinant ASP in vitro, pigmentation was markedly inhibited and the production of eumelanosomes was decreased significantly. Melanosomes that were produced became pheomelanosome-like in structure, and chemical analysis showed that eumelanin production was significantly decreased. Melanocytes treated with ASP also exhibited time- and dose-dependent decreases in melanogenic gene expression, including those encoding tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related proteins 1 and 2. Conversely, melanocytes exposed to MSH exhibited an increase in tyrosinase gene expression and function. Simultaneous addition of ASP and MSH at approximately equimolar concentrations produced responses similar to those elicited by the hormone alone. These results demonstrate that eumelanogenic melanocytes can be induced in culture by ASP to exhibit features characteristic of pheomelanogenesis in vivo. Our data are consistent with the hypothesis that the effects of ASP on melanocytes are not mediated solely by inhibition of MSH binding to its receptor, and provide a cell culture model to identify novel factors whose presence is required for pheomelanogenesis. 相似文献

Effects of melanogenesis-inducing nitric oxide and histamine on the production of eumelanin and pheomelanin in cultured human melanocytes 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Melanin pigments produced in human melanocytes are classified into two categories; black coloured eumelanin and reddish-yellow pheomelanin. Stimulation of melanocytes with alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH), one of several melanogenic factors, has been reported to enhance eumelanogenesis to a greater degree than pheomelanogenesis, which contributes to hyperpigmentation in skin. Nitric oxide (NO) and histamine are also melanogenesis-stimulating factors that are released from cells surrounding melanocytes following ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. In this study, the effects of NO and histamine on the ratio of eumelanin and pheomelanin were examined in human melanocytes, and then compared with that of alpha-MSH. The amounts of eumelanin and pheomelanin were quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography analysis after oxidation and hydrolysis of melanin. Melanogenesis was induced by the addition of alpha-MSH, NO, or histamine to melanocytes. The amount of eumelanin production significantly increased with independent stimulation by these melanogenic factors, especially histamine, while that of pheomelanin significantly increased with alpha-MSH and NO, but only slightly with histamine. As a result, the ratio of eumelanin and pheomelanin increased significantly with the addition of NO or histamine. These results suggest that NO and histamine, as in the case of alpha-MSH, may contribute to UV-induced hyperpigmentation by enhancing eumelanogenesis. 相似文献

Melanin pigments produced in human melanocytes are classified into two categories; black coloured eumelanin and reddish‐yellow pheomelanin. Stimulation of melanocytes with α‐melanocyte‐stimulating hormone (α‐MSH), one of several melanogenic factors, has been reported to enhance eumelanogenesis to a greater degree than pheomelanogenesis, which contributes to hyperpigmentation in skin. Nitric oxide (NO) and histamine are also melanogenesis‐stimulating factors that are released from cells surrounding melanocytes following ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. In this study, the effects of NO and histamine on the ratio of eumelanin and pheomelanin were examined in human melanocytes, and then compared with that of α‐MSH. The amounts of eumelanin and pheomelanin were quantified using high‐performance liquid chromatography analysis after oxidation and hydrolysis of melanin. Melanogenesis was induced by the addition of α‐MSH, NO, or histamine to melanocytes. The amount of eumelanin production significantly increased with independent stimulation by these melanogenic factors, especially histamine, while that of pheomelanin significantly increased with α‐MSH and NO, but only slightly with histamine. As a result, the ratio of eumelanin and pheomelanin increased significantly with the addition of NO or histamine.
