1 Notably, a melanogenesis-regulating signal such as mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) or phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt was activated by curcumin in the B16F10 cells treated with or without alpha-MSH.

2 Our results suggest that the suppressive activity of curcumin on alpha-MSH-stimulated melanogenesis may involve the down-regulation of MITF and its downstream signal pathway through the activation of MEK/ERK or PI3K/Akt. Curcumin mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 Mus musculus
