α Melanocyte stimulating hormone (αmsh) stimulates normal human melanocyte growth by binding to high-affinity receptors
Open accessAbstract
The combined action of cholera toxin (CT)-dependent activation of the adenylate cyclase signaling pathway, stimulation of protein kinase C, and activation of the tyrosine kinase activity of cell surface receptors and proto-oncogene products, have been shown to stimulate melanocyte proliferation. However, natural factors responsible for the optimal stimulation of normal human melanocyte growth, either isolated or co-cultured with keratinocytes, remain largely unknown. alpha MSH (alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone) has previously been shown to bind to murine and human melanoma cells and to stimulate their adenylate cyclase and tyrosinase activity. In contrast, very little is known about the presence and function of alpha MSH receptors in normal human melanocytes. We now report that alpha MSH: (i) binds to normal human melanocytes through a single class of high-affinity receptors; (ii) does not induce per se melanocytes to enter the S-phase of the cell cycle; (iii) does indeed stimulate melanocyte proliferation in a dose-dependent fashion; but its stimulatory effect requires bFGF and/or the activation of protein kinase C.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
