a-MSH (α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone), amide engages the melanocortin-1 receptor and activates cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling via a G-protein transporter, can synthesize melanin. It is an endogenous neuropeptide, a post-translational derivative of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC). It is an endogenous melanocortin receptor 4 (MC4R) agonist with anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activities[1-4,10].
α-MSH-treated(1 hour; 300pg/ml) T cells showed higher levels of protein ubiquitination. Resting T cells treated with alpha-MSH also demonstrated enhanced protein ubiquitination[5].In α-MSH-stimulated(1 µM, 72 h) B16F10 cells, autophagosomes engulfing melanosomes following Pt treatment[6]. α-MSH regulates central nervous system inflammation by acting directly on melanocortin receptors in glial cells. α-MSH regulates the activation of NFκB. α-MSH inhibits nuclear transmigration of transcription factor κB[7].
α-MSH(0.5mg/kg;i.p;28days) modulated the excitatory-inhibitory balance in the brain by restoring GABAergic inhibition and improved cognition in TgCRND8 mice[8]. α-MSH(2, 6, 20 or 60 nmol)plays an important regulatory role in the spinal defecation center of rats. Intrathecal administration of α-MSH in mice can enhance the colonic movement of the L6-S1 spinal cord and block the pelvic nerve, but the pro-kinetic effect of α-MSH disappeared[9].
