Soyasaponin Ag inhibits α-MSH-induced melanogenesis in B16F10 melanoma cells via the downregulation of TRP-2

Abstract: Saponins, which are glycosylated, represent a diverse group of biologically functional products in plants. In the present study, we investigated the effects of soyasaponin Ag, a secondary metabolite extracted from soybean, on α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH)-induced melanin synthesis in B16F10 mouse melanoma cells and the underlying molecular mechanisms. To elucidate the mechanisms through which soyasaponin Ag inhibits melanin synthesis, we performed cellular tyrosinase activity assays and analyzed the… Show more

“…The intracellular melanin content was determined according to a procedure described previously [25] with minor modifications. Briefly, B16F10 cells were seeded in a 24-well plate at 1 × 10 4 cells/well and incubated for 24 h in DMEM containing 10% FBS.…”

“…3 B). TRP-2, one of the enzymes involved in melanin synthesis, catalyzes the reaction from DOPA chrome to 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA) [ 22 ]. Therefore, like tyrosinase, a decrease in the protein expression level of TRP-2 is considered a cause of melanin production suppression [ 23 ].…”
