Downregulation of NFAT2 promotes melanogenesis in B16 melanoma cells
Nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) proteins are, calcium-regulated transcription factors, key regulator of stimulation-dependent gene activation. In our microarray analysis for the genes expressed in human black and white hairs, NFAT2 was significantly upregulated in the white hair, compared to the black hair. The aim of this study was to investigate functional role of NFAT2 in melanoge...
متن کاملEffect of chlorogenic acid on melanogenesis of B16 melanoma cells.
Chlorogenic acid (CGA), the ester formed between caffeic acid and l-quinic acid, is a widespread phenolic compound. It is part of the human diet, found in foods such as coffee, apples, pears, etc. CGA is also was widely used in cosmetics, but the effects of CGA on melanogenesis are unknown. In this study, we analyzed the effects of CGA on cell proliferation, melanin content and tyrosinase of B1...
متن کاملStimulation of Melanogenesis by Nordihydroguaiaretic Acid in Human Melanoma Cells
Nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), a lignan found in vegetables, fruits and legumin, has been shown to possess antineoplastic, antiviral and antioxidant characteristics. In this study, we examined the effect of NDGA on melanogenesis in human melanoma cells (HMVII). In vitro, NDGA does not alter mushroom tyrosinase activity. However, in NDGA-treated HMVII cells, cellular tyrosinase activity incre...
متن کاملMelanogenesis inhibition by gallotannins from Chinese galls in B16 mouse melanoma cells.
Nowadays herbal medicines of skin-whitening cosmetics are popular with women. We attempted to find the whitening activity compounds present in many herbal medicines used for this purpose and discuss their mechanisms in melanin biosynthesis. The 70% acetone extracts of 10 kinds of herbs were investigated for their mushroom tyrosinase activity inhibition. Among these 10 extracts, Chinese galls sh...
متن کاملDaphnane diterpene hirsein B downregulates melanogenesis in B16 murine melanoma cells by cAMP pathway inhibition
Background Skin pigmentation serves as protection against ultraviolet-induced skin damage through melanin’s optical and chemical filtering properties [1]. Although melanin plays and important role in skin protection, excessive melanin production or hyperpigmentation may lead to skin cancer. Recently, the inhibition of melanogenesis has been considered as a valid therapeutic target for the manag...
