1 In this study the effect of the tumor promoter, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), on the hormonal induction of tyrosinase was examined. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate tyrosinase Mus musculus
2 In this study the effect of the tumor promoter, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), on the hormonal induction of tyrosinase was examined. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate tyrosinase Mus musculus
3 TPA was found to lower basal levels of tyrosinase activity in melanoma cells and to reduce tyrosinase levels in cells treated with either MSH (10(-7) M), dibutyryl cAMP (10(-4) M), isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX, 10(-4) M), or with the potent MSH analogue, [Nle4,D-phe7]-alpha-MSH. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate tyrosinase Mus musculus
4 TPA was found to lower basal levels of tyrosinase activity in melanoma cells and to reduce tyrosinase levels in cells treated with either MSH (10(-7) M), dibutyryl cAMP (10(-4) M), isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX, 10(-4) M), or with the potent MSH analogue, [Nle4,D-phe7]-alpha-MSH. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate tyrosinase Mus musculus
5 In order to determine how TPA may reduce tyrosinase activity in melanoma cells, the levels of tyrosinase mRNA in untreated or TPA-treated cells were determined by Northern blot analysis. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate tyrosinase Mus musculus
6 In order to determine how TPA may reduce tyrosinase activity in melanoma cells, the levels of tyrosinase mRNA in untreated or TPA-treated cells were determined by Northern blot analysis. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate tyrosinase Mus musculus
7 Tyrosinase mRNA levels in cultures exposed to TPA for 48 h were only 7% of control levels. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate tyrosinase Mus musculus
8 Tyrosinase mRNA levels in cells treated with both MSH and TPA were also lower than in cells treated with MSH alone. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate tyrosinase Mus musculus
