Induction of tyrosinase in human melanoma cells by L-tyrosine phosphate and cytochalasin D.

Abstract:

:Pigmentation of RVH 421 human melanoma cells is induced when cell division is inhibited by cytochalasin D or L-tyrosine phosphate. Increased pigmentation correlates with increased tyrosinase activity when this is monitored over a time-course. Parallel measurements show that the amount of tyrosinase mRNA correlates with enzyme activity in cells growing without these additives. In contrast, in the presence of cytochalasin D or L-tyrosine phosphate, the increase in amount of tyrosinase mRNA is not sufficient to account for the increase in enzyme activity, indicating that these compounds act mainly at a post-transcriptional level.
