1 In B16 melanoma cells, the inhibition of melanogenesis by TPA results from PKC activation and diminution of microphthalmia binding to the M-box of the tyrosinase promoter. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate tyrosinase Mus musculus
2 Further, the inhibition of melanogenesis by TPA results from a decrease of the tyrosinase promoter transcriptional activity and this effect is mimicked by over-expression of a constitutively active form of PKC alpha. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate tyrosinase Mus musculus
3 Additional experiments were undertaken to elucidate the mechanism by which TPA inhibits the tyrosinase gene transcription. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate tyrosinase Mus musculus
4 Deletions and mutation in the tyrosinase promoter showed that TPA acts on a M-box which is involved in tissue-specific expression and regulation by cAMP of the tyrosinase gene. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate tyrosinase Mus musculus
5 Deletions and mutation in the tyrosinase promoter showed that TPA acts on a M-box which is involved in tissue-specific expression and regulation by cAMP of the tyrosinase gene. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate tyrosinase Mus musculus
6 Since microphthalmia, strongly stimulates the transcriptional activity of the promoter we propose that TPA, through PKC activation, decreases microphthalmia binding to the M-box of the tyrosinase promoter, thereby leading to a reduced tyrosinase expression and melanogenesis inhibition. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate tyrosinase Mus musculus
7 Since microphthalmia, strongly stimulates the transcriptional activity of the promoter we propose that TPA, through PKC activation, decreases microphthalmia binding to the M-box of the tyrosinase promoter, thereby leading to a reduced tyrosinase expression and melanogenesis inhibition. Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate tyrosinase Mus musculus
