Tumor necrosis factor ? increases and ?-melanocyte-stimulating hormone reduces uveal melanoma invasion through fibronectin

, 2003
Iris melanomas are less likely to metastasize than posterior compartment melanomas. The anterior chamber of the eye is an immunosuppressed microenvironment where a wide range of immunosuppressive factors in aqueous humor contribute to the immune ...

Melanoma cell migration is upregulated by tumour necrosis factor-? and suppressed by ?-melanocyte-stimulating hormone

, 2004
We reported recently that the inflammatory cytokine tumour necrosis factor ? (TNF-?) can upregulate integrin expression, cell attachment and invasion of cells through fibronectin in a human melanoma cell line (HBL). Furthermore, the actions of TNF-? were

Agouti protein, mahogunin, and attractin in pheomelanogenesis and melanoblast-like alteration of melanocytes: a cAMP-independent pathway [PDF]

, 2009
Melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) and its ligands, a-melanocyte stimulating hormone (aMSH) and agouti signaling protein (ASIP), regulate switching between eumelanin and pheomelanin synthesis in melanocytes.

The Asp84GIu variant of the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R)is associated with melanoma [PDF]

, 1996
Melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) plays an important role in determining the cutaneous response to ultraviolet radiation and may also influence melanoma progression.

Rab3a is critical for trapping alpha-MSH granules in the high Ca²⁺-affinity pool by preventing constitutive exocytosis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Rab3a is a small GTPase of the Rab3 subfamily that acts during late stages of Ca²⁺-regulated exocytosis. Previous functional analysis in pituitary melanotrophs described Rab3a as a positive regulator of Ca²⁺-dependent exocytosis.

Inactivation of adrenocorticotropin, α- and Β-melanocyte-stimulating hormones, vasopressin, and pituitary fraction H by adipose tissue

Journal of Lipid Research, 1964
Rat adipose tissue homogenate contains a peptidase or group of peptidases which abolish the adipokinetic activity of ACTH, α-MSH, Β-MSH, vasopressin, and pituitary fraction H.

Peptides and Food Intake

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2014
Nutrients created by the digestion of food are proposed to active G protein coupled receptors on the luminal side of enteroendocrine cells e.g. the L-cell. This stimulates the release of gut hormones.

Afamelanotide Is Associated with Dose-Dependent Protective Effect from Liver Damage Related to Erythropoietic Protoporphyria

Life, 2023
In animal models, melanocyte-stimulating hormones (MSHs) protect the liver from various injuries. Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP), a metabolic disorder, leads to the accumulation of protoporphyrin (PPIX).
