UV irradiation‐induced DNA hypomethylation around WNT1 gene: Implications for solar lentigines
25 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
Wnt/β-catenin signalling promotes melanogenesis in melanocytes and also induces melanocytogenesis from melanocyte stem cells (McSCs). Previous study reported that WNT1, a ligand which activates Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway, was more highly expressed in the epidermis at SLs than in normal skin areas, suggesting that WNT1 causes hyperpigmentation. To elucidate the mechanism by which WNT1 expression is increased...
