Protection against UVR Involves MC1R-Mediated Non-Pigmentary and Pigmentary Mechanisms In Vivo

Abstract: Individuals with red hair and fair skin due to MC1R gene variants are at higher risk of cutaneous neoplasia, consistent with MC1R having a role in photoprotection. The exact reasons for greater UVR susceptibility as a result of compromised MC1R function are unclear, but hypotheses include reduced photoprotection due to less eumelanin, pheomelanin-induced phototoxicity, and lower protection by "non-pigmentary" MC1R effects. To determine how MC1R photoprotects, an in vivo hairless MC1R model containing Mc1r(-/-)… Show more

“…41,[49][50][51][52] The higher pheomelanin levels associated with these MC1R variant alleles cause the red hair and fair skin phenotype (red hair color [RHC]), also known as the MC1R null phenotype. 53 This subpopulation is known to be more sensitive to the effects of UV irradiation, demonstrated by a lack of tanning ability, and is also at increased risk of developing CMM, by mechanisms yet to be fully understood.…”

“…Algunes d'aquestes mutacions afecten el risc de càncer de pell, via alteracions en la pigmentació, i també per la seua influència en altres processos (Robinson i altres, 2010). Anàlisis funcionals mostren que variacions en MC1R limiten l'estimulació de la via de pigmentació a causa d'una incompleta unió entre el receptor i el seu lligand (α-MSH), d'això resulta un descens de l'activitat de l'enzim tirosinasa i en la síntesi de feomelanina, la qual és responsable del fenotip de pell clara i cabell roig (Beaumont i altres, 2005).…”
