Mammalian tyrosinase: biosynthesis, processing, and modulation by melanocyte-stimulating hormone.

We have examined the rate of synthesis and degradation of tyrosinase (monophenol, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine:oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.14.18.1), the critical enzyme involved in mammalian pigmentation, using pulse-chase metabolic labeling of murine melanoma cells and immunoprecipitation of protein extracts with antibodies directed specifically against the enzyme. We have found that tyrosinase ...

Fluvastatin increases tyrosinase synthesis induced by alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone in B16F10 melanoma cells.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of fluvastatin on the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone-mediated increase in tyrosinase activity in the melanoma B16F10 cell line and to establish whether Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk) inhibition is involved in tyrosinase synthesis after fluvastatin administration. Fluvastatin modulates alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormon...

Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone suppresses oxidative stress through a p53-mediated signaling pathway in human melanocytes.

Epidermal melanocytes are skin cells specialized in melanin production. Activation of the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) on melanocytes by α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) induces synthesis of the brown/black pigment eumelanin that confers photoprotection from solar UV radiation (UVR). Contrary to keratinocytes, melanocytes are slow proliferating cells that persist in the skin for decad...

Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone regulation of tyrosinase in Cloudman S-91 mouse melanoma cell cultures.

alpha-MSH (melanocyte-stimulating hormone) causes an increase in tyrosinase activity (O-diphenol-O2 oxidoreductase; EC 1.14.18.1) in Cloudman S-91 mouse melanoma cell cultures following a lag period of approximately 9 h. Treatment of cells with 2 X 10(-7)M alpha-MSH for 6 days results in a 90-fold increase in the specific activity of the enzyme. The hormone-mediated increase in tyrosinase activ...

α-Melanocyte stimulating hormone and its analogue Nle4DPhe7α-MSH affect morphology, tyrosinase activity and melanogenesis in cultured human melanocytes

Although melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) peptides are known to stimulate pigmentation in man, previous reports suggest that human melanocytes are relatively unresponsive to these peptides in vitro. This may be related to the conditions under which the melanocytes were cultured. Thus, we have re-investigated the in vitro effects of MSH peptides using human melanocytes cultured in the absenc...
