alpha-Melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) was found significantly to reduce tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) stimulated upregulation of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in normal adult cutaneous melanocytes. The maximum inhibitory response to alpha-MSH was obtained at around
The neuropeptide ␣-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (␣-MSH) modulates inflammation by inhibiting production of proinflammatory cytokines. Using a plasmid vector encoding ␣-MSH, we examined whether autocrine ␣-MSH inhibits activation of the nuclear transcription factor NF-B, a factor that is essential
