A stimulation of the tyrosinase activity was observed when melanoma cells isolated from transplantable mouse melanomas were incubated at 37 degrees C for 6 h in the presence of 1-10 X 10(-6) M alpha-MSH. All strains of mouse melanomas studied (B-16, Cloudman S-91 and Harding-Passey), exhibited similar responses. It was also observed that the intact cellular structure of melanoma cells was not required for the ability to respond to alpha-MSH. The stimulation of the enzymic activity was accompanied by an increase of the rate of incorporation of radioactivity into melanin from L-[U-14C]tyrosine, indicating an enhanced melanogenesis of tumour cells under in vitro conditions.
当从可移植小鼠黑色素瘤中分离出的黑色素瘤细胞在37℃下于1-10×10(-6)M α-促黑素(α-MSH)存在的条件下孵育6小时时,观察到酪氨酸酶活性受到刺激。所研究的所有小鼠黑色素瘤菌株(B-16、Cloudman S-91和Harding-Passey)均表现出类似的反应。还观察到,黑色素瘤细胞对α-MSH作出反应的能力并不需要完整的细胞结构。酶活性的刺激伴随着放射性从L-[U-14C]酪氨酸掺入黑色素的速率增加,这表明在体外条件下肿瘤细胞的黑色素生成增强。
