Abstract
AbstractVitiligo is an autoimmune disease characterized by depigmentation. Kaempferol is a flavonoid compound with broad anti‐inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of kaempferol on melanogenesis in PIG1 normal human skin melanocytes and its response to oxidative stress. The effect of kaempferol on melanin synthesis in PIG1 normal human skin melanocytes was explored by measuring tyrosinase activity, melanin content, mRNA and protein expression of key enzymes and expression of related pathway proteins. The effects of kaempferol pretreatment on cell viability, apoptosis, ROS level and HO‐1 protein level under H2O2 stimulation were explored. When treated with kaempferol, the tyrosinase activity and melanin content of PIG1 cells increased, the mRNA and protein expressions of TYR, TRP1, TRP2 and MITF increased, and the phosphorylation level of ERK1/2 increased. Upon the stimulation of H2O2, kaempferol reduced the production of ROS, decreased apoptosis and increased the protein expression of HO‐1 in PIG1 cells. In addition, kaempferol inhibited oxidative stress‐induced melanin reduction and promoted melanin synthesis in PIG1 cells and protected against H2O2‐induced oxidative stress damage.
