It is reported that CRH, sauvagine, and urocortin inhibit proliferation of human HaCaT keratinocytes in a dose-dependent manner and can modify human keratinocyte phenotype through a receptor-mediated pathway.

It is suggested that the skin may have “a local stress response system,” whose activity is mediated by CRH and POMC peptides, in an equivalent to hypothalamus‐pituitary adrenal axis, and are regulated by inflammatory cells as well as by autocrine mechanisms.

Cutaneous expression of the CRH/POMC system is highly organized, encoding mediators and receptors similar to the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, that in the skin is expressed as a highly localized response which neutralizes noxious stimuli and attendant immune reactions.

It is suggested that in human skin the CRH signaling system is both operative and under regulatory control.

The cutaneous CRH/POMC expression is highly reactive to common stressors such as immune cytokines, ultraviolet radiation, cutaneous pathology, or even the physiological changes associated with the hair cycle phase, and similar to its central analog, the local expression and action of CRH / POMC elements appear to be highly organized and entrained, representing general mechanism of cutaneous response to stressful stimuli.

Higher expression of CRH in malignant cells has been detected in thyroid carcinomas and breast cancers without accompanying clinical manifestations of hyperadrenocorticism, as in ectopic CRH-adrenOCorticotropic hormone (ACTH) tumors.

Immunohistochemistry shows that CRH as well as POMC is strongly expressed in advanced melanomas, such as vertically growing lesions of acral lentiginous, nodular and metastatic melanoma, in contrast to negative expression in nevus cells, and indicates that tumor progression accentuates CRH, CRH-R, and PomC expression by melanoma cells.

It is indicated that CRH peptides can differentially influence hair follicle melanocyte behavior not only via CRH‐R1 signaling but also by complex cross‐talk between CRHR1 and CRH-R2.
