Regulation of melanin synthesis of B16 mouse melanoma cells by 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and retinoic acid.
@article{Hosoi1985RegulationOM, title={Regulation of melanin synthesis of B16 mouse melanoma cells by 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and retinoic acid.}, author={Junichi Hosoi and Etsuko Abe and Tatsuo Suda and Toshio Kuroki}, journal={Cancer research}, year={1985}, volume={45 4}, pages={ 1474-8 } }
Melanin synthesis of B16 mouse melanoma cells was found to be stimulated dose and time dependently by 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1 alpha,25(OH)2D3], the hormonal form of vitamin D3. The stimulation of melanogenesis resulted from an increase in the activity of tyrosinase, a key enzyme in melanin synthesis. The minimum dose required for this stimulation was as low as 0.05 ng/ml, or 0.12 nM, a physiological level of plasma 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3. The stimulation by 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3 was specific…
