A Single-Nucleotide Deletion in the Transcription Factor Gene bcsmr1 Causes Sclerotial-Melanogenesis Deficiency in Botrytis cinerea

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Botrytis cinerea is an important plant pathogenic fungus with a wide range of host. It usually produces black-colored sclerotia (BS) due to deposition of 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene melanin in sclerotial melanogenesis. Our previous study (Zhou et al., 2018)

A potent inhibitor of SIK2, 3, 3', 7-trihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavon (4'-O-methylfisetin), promotes melanogenesis in B16F10 melanoma cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Flavonoids, which are plant polyphenols, are now widely used in supplements and cosmetics. Here, we report that 4'-methylflavonoids are potent inducers of melanogenesis in B16F10 melanoma cells and in mice. We recently identified salt inducible kinase 2 (

The mechanisms of melanogenesis inhibition by glabridin: molecular docking, PKA/MITF and MAPK/MITF pathways

Food Science and Human Wellness, 2023
Glabridin is the main ingredient of hydrophobic fraction in licorice extract and has been shown to have anti-melanogenesis activity in skins. However, the underlying mechanism(s) remain not completely understood.

Jeju Magma-Seawater Inhibits α-MSH-Induced Melanogenesis via CaMKKβ-AMPK Signaling Pathways in B16F10 Melanoma Cells

Marine Drugs, 2020
Melanin protects skin from ultraviolet radiation, toxic drugs, and chemicals. Its synthesis is sophisticatedly regulated by multiple mechanisms, including transcriptional and enzymatic controls.

VDAC1 negatively regulates melanogenesis through the Ca 2+ -calcineurin-CRTC1-MITF pathway

Life Science Alliance, 2022
This study revealed an important and novel role of mitochondrial VDAC1 in regulating melanogenesis in resting melanocytes through a Ca 2+ -regulated pathway that is independent of the alpha-MSH/UVB pathway.

CHARACTERIZATION OF THE ROLE OF STIM1 IN MELANOGENESIS

, 2023
reservedIntracellular Ca2+ homeostasis plays a key role in the control of melanogenesis, the process responsible for the biogenesis of melanosomes, and for melanin accumulation.

Using In Vivo Models to Understand Melanogenesis [PDF]

, 2020
The diversity of hair and skin color is a direct result of melanin synthesis occurring in melanocytes. Melanogenesis is a set of highly regulated processes that occur in a specialized organelle called the melanosome.

Acetylcholine regulates the melanogenesis of retinal pigment epithelia cells via a cAMP-dependent pathway: A non-neuronal function of cholinergic system in retina

Heliyon
The turnover rate of melanogenesis in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and its molecular signaling remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of cholinergic signaling in the process of melanogenesis of cultured RPE cells.

Comparative Study of Curcumin and Its Hydrogenated Metabolites, Tetrahydrocurcumin, Hexahydrocurcumin, and Octahydrocurcumin, on Melanogenesis in B16F10 and MNT-1 Cells

Cosmetics, 2021
Curcumin, a bioactive from Curcuma longa, has been shown to possess anti-melanogenic activity previously; however, the effects of its hydrogenated metabolites (HMs)—Tetrahydrocurcumin (THC), Hexahydrocurcumin (HHC), and Octahydrocurcumin (OHC)—on ...

Ribosomal S6 kinase 2-forkhead box protein O4 signaling pathway plays an essential role in melanogenesis

Scientific Reports
Although previous studies have examined the signaling pathway involved in melanogenesis through which ultraviolet (UV) or α-melanocyte-stimulating hormones (α-MSH) stimuli act as key inducers to produce melanin at the stratum basal layer of the epidermis,
