Abstract

Abstract16‐kauren‐2‐beta‐18, 19‐triol (16‐kauren) is a natural diterpenoid substance derived from Asteraceae psiadia punctulata, a small tropical shrub in Africa and Asia, and it can reduce Mlph expression without affecting the expression of Rab27a and MyoVa in melanocytes. Melanophilin (Mlph) is an important linker protein in the melanosome transport process. However, the signal transduction pathway for the regulation of Mlph expression has not been fully established. We examined the mechanism of 16‐kauren on Mlph expression. Murine melan‐a melanocytes were used for in vitro analysis. Western blot analysis, quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction, and luciferase assay were performed. The inhibition of Mlph expression by 16‐kauren‐2β‐18,19‐triol (16‐kauren) occurs through the JNK signal and is reversed following glucocorticoid receptor (GR) activation by dexamethasone (Dex). Especially, 16‐kauren activates JNK and c‐jun signalling, part of the MAPK pathway, with subsequent Mlph repression. When the JNK signal is weakened by siRNA, the inhibition of Mlph expression by 16‐kauren was not seen. JNK activation by 16‐kauren induces GR phosphorylation, which leads to Mlph repression. These results demonstrate that 16‐kauren regulates Mlph expression through the phosphorylation of GR via the JNK signalling pathway.
