Protease-activated receptor-2 activates NQO-1 via Nrf2 stabilization in keratinocytes
Conclusion: Collectively, PAR-2 activation enhanced nuclear Nrf2 translocation, and PAR-2-mediated Nrf2 activation was attributable to existing Nrf2 stabilization rather than de novo production. Our findings suggest that in addition to induction of inflammation, PAR-2 can play a chemopreventative role via Nrf2 stabilization in keratinocytes.

Melanocyte ‐protective effect of afzelin is mediated by the Nrf2‐ARE signalling pathway via GSK‐3β inactivation
Abstract Vitiligo is an acquired condition characterized by depigmented, cutaneous lesions that result from the death of pigment‐producing cells, melanocytes. The occurrence of oxidative stress has been proposed as a pathogenetic mechanism for melanocyte degeneration in vitiligo. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the cytoprotective effects of afzelin against oxidative stress and its mechanism of action in human epidermal melanocytes. We found that afzelin significantly inhibited hydrogen peroxide‐induced cell death, cellular reactive oxygen species production and lipid peroxidation in melanocytes. In an antioxi...

HMGB1 deficiency reduces H2 O2 -induced oxidative damage in human melanocytes via the Nrf2 pathway.
In this study, we investigated the role of HMGB1 from melanocytes in the response to oxidative stress and the mechanism involved. We showed that HMGB1 is expressed by primary normal human epidermal melanocytes (NHEMs). H2 O2 treatment increased cytoplasmic translocation and extracellular release of HMGB1. HMGB1 knockdown by small interfering RNA (siRNA) led to decreased apoptosis of NHEMs. HMGB1 inhibition enhanced the expression of Nrf2 and its target genes. The expression of Nrf2 and its downstream antioxidant genes was downregulated after the supernatant of H2 O2 -treated NHEMs was added to HMGB1-deficient cells. HMGB1 ...

Psoralidin protects against cerebral hypoxia/reoxygenation injury: Role of GAS6/Axl signaling
Phytother Res. 2022 May 18. doi: 10.1002/ptr.7481. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPsoralidin (PSO) is a natural phenolic coumarin extracted from the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia L. Growing preclinical evidence indicates that PSO has anti-inflammatory, anti-vitiligo, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral effects. Growth arrest-specific gene 6 (GAS6) and its receptor, Axl, modulate cellular oxidative stress, apoptosis, survival, proliferation, migration, and mitogenesis. Notably, the neuroprotective role of the GAS6/Axl axis has been identified in previous studies. We hypothesize that PSO ameliorates cerebral hypoxia/reoxygenation ...

miR-196a-2 rs11614913 polymorphism is associated with vitiligo by affecting heterodimeric molecular complexes of Tyr and Tyrp1
In conclusion, our findings suggest that miR-196a-2 polymorphisms can regulate the Tyr levels, which influences the susceptibility of vitiligo.

Aspirin induces Nrf2‐mediated transcriptional activation of haem oxygenase‐1 in protection of human melanocytes from H2O2‐induced oxidative stress
Abstract The removal of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by antioxidants has been proven to be beneficial to patients with vitiligo. Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid, ASA) has antioxidant activity and has great preventive and therapeutical effect in many oxidative stress‐relevant diseases. Whether ASA can protect human melanocytes against oxidative stress needs to be further studied. Here, we investigated the potential protective effect and mechanisms of ASA against H2O2‐induced oxidative injury in human melanocytes. Human melanocytes were pre‐treated with different concentrations of ASA, followed by exposure to 1.0 mM H2O2. Ce...

Basic fibroblast growth factor promotes melanocyte migration via activating PI3K/Akt‐Rac1‐FAK‐JNK and ERK signaling pathways
Abstract Vitiligo is a depigmentation disorder characterized by loss of functional melanocytes of the skin epidermis. The pathogenesis of vitiligo remains elusive. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on melanocyte migration, including its biochemical mechanism using transwell assay in vitro. We found that melanocyte treated with bFGF showed a significant increase in migration and cytoskeletal rearrangement. These changes were associated with increased activation of PI3K/Akt, Rac1, FAK, JNK, and ERK. Likewise, reduction of PI3K/Akt, Rac1, FAK, JNK, and ERK activit...
