Inhibitory effects of ginsenosides on basic fibroblast growth factor-induced melanocyte proliferation
BACKGROUND UV-B-exposed keratinocytes secrete various paracrine factors. Among these factors, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) stimulates the proliferation of melanocytes. Ginsenosides, the major active compounds of ginseng, are known to have broad pharmacological effects. In this study, we examined the antiproliferative effects of ginsenosides on bFGF-induced melanocyte proliferation. M...
متن کاملBasic fibroblast growth factor promotes melanocyte migration via increased expression of p125(FAK) on melanocytes.
Vitiligo is an acquired pigmentary disorder characterized by depigmentation of skin and hair. Melanocyte migration is an important event in re-pigmentation of vitiligo. We have demonstrated that narrow-band ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation stimulated cultured keratinocytes to release a significant amount of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Furthermore, narrow-band UVB enhanced migration of...
متن کاملEFFECTS OF DIFFERENT MEDIATORS ON FIBROBLAST PROLIFERATION
In this study, we have investigated the proliferative response of human dermal fibroblasts isolated from normal and psoriatic individuals to different cytokines. We found that IL-1, TNF (α) and EGF are stimulatory whereas IFN « and 1 both showed inhibitory activity on fibroblast proliferation. IL-6 a more recently described cytokine, showed no detectable effects on cell proliferation. Inve...
متن کاملInteractions between growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor I, and basic fibroblast growth factor in melanocyte growth.
Melanocytes, highly differentiated neural crest-derived cells, are located in the basal layer of the epidermis, where they play a role in protecting against UV damage in the skin. Previous studies suggest that both growth hormone (GH) and the insulin-like growth factor I (GH/IGF-I) system may be important for melanocyte growth and function. We have therefore characterized the role of the GH/IGF...
متن کاملEffect of Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor on Achilles Tendon Healing in Rabbit
BACKGROUND Tendon injuries are common and it takes a long time for an injured tendon to heal. Adverse phenomena such as adhesion and rupture are associated with these injuries. Finding a method to reduce the time required for healing whichimproves the final outcome, will lead to decreased frequency and intensity of adverse consequences. This study was designed to investigate the effects ...
