MC1R expression in HaCaT keratinocytes inhibits UVA‐induced ROS production via NADPH Oxidase‐ and cAMP‐dependent mechanisms
31 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
Ultraviolet A (UVA) radiations are responsible for deleterious effects, mainly due to reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) binds to melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) in melanocytes to stimulate pigmentation and modulate cutaneous inflammatory responses. MC1R may be induced in keratinocytes after UV exposure. To investigate the effect of MC1R signaling on UVA-induced...
