Cytoglobin functions as a redox regulator of melanogenesis in normal epidermal melanocytes
Epidermal melanocytes are continuously exposed to sunlight-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress generated during the synthesis of melanin. Therefore, they have developed mechanisms that maintain normal redox homeostasis. Cytoglobin (CYGB), a ubiquitously expressed intracellular iron hexacoordinated globin, exhibits antioxidant activity and regulates the redox state of mammalian cells through its activities as peroxidase and nitric oxide (NO) dioxygenase. We postulated that CYGB functions in the melanogenic process as a regulator that maintains oxidative stress within a physiological level. This was examined by characterizing normal human melanocytes with the knockdown (KD) of CYGB using morphological and molecular biological criteria. CYGB-KD cells were larger, had more dendrites, and generated more melanin granules in the advanced stages of melanogenesis than control cells. The expression levels of major melanogenesis-associated genes and proteins were higher in CYGB-KD melanocytes than in wild type (WT) cells. As expected, CYGB-KD melanocytes generated more ROS and NO than WT cells. In conclusion, CYGB physiologically contributes to maintaining redox homeostasis in the melanogenic activity of normal melanocytes by controlling the intracellular levels of ROS and NO.
期刊介绍:
Pigment Cell & Melanoma Researchpublishes manuscripts on all aspects of pigment cells including development, cell and molecular biology, genetics, diseases of pigment cells including melanoma. Papers that provide insights into the causes and progression of melanoma including the process of metastasis and invasion, proliferation, senescence, apoptosis or gene regulation are especially welcome, as are papers that use the melanocyte system to answer questions of general biological relevance. Papers that are purely descriptive or make only minor advances to our knowledge of pigment cells or melanoma in particular are not suitable for this journal. Keywords
Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research, cell biology, melatonin, biochemistry, chemistry, comparative biology, dermatology, developmental biology, genetics, hormones, intracellular signalling, melanoma, molecular biology, ocular and extracutaneous melanin, pharmacology, photobiology, physics, pigmentary disorders
