Antrodia camphoratagrown on germinated brown rice (CBR) was prepared to suppress melanoma development. CBR extracts were divided into hexane, EtOAc, BuOH, and water fractions. Among all the fractions, EtOAc fraction showed the best suppressive effect on B16F10 melanoma cell proliferation by CCK-8 assay. It also showed the increased cell death and the changed cellular morphology after CBR treatment. Annexin V-FITC/PI, flow cytometry, and western blotting were performed to elucidate anticancer activity of CBR. The results showed that CBR induced p53-mediated apoptotic cell death of B16F10. CBR EtOAc treatment increased melanin content and melanogenesis-related proteins of MITF and TRP-1 expressions, which supports its anticancer activity. Its potential as an anticancer agent was further investigated in tumor-xenografted mouse model. In melanoma-xenografted mouse model, melanoma tumor growth was significantly suppressed under CBR EtOAc fraction treatment. HPLC analysis of CBR extract showed peak of adenosine. In conclusion, CBR extracts notably inhibited B16F10 melanoma cell proliferation through the p53-mediated apoptosis induction and increased melanogenesis. These findings suggest that CBR EtOAc fraction can act as an effective anticancer agent to treat melanoma.

Background: Melanin plays a crucial role in camouflage, social communication and protection against harmful ultraviolet radiations. Melanin is synthesized by melanocytes through melanogenesis and several intrinsic and extrinsic factors are involved during the process. Any change occuring in the normal melanogenesis process can cause severe pigmentation problems of hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation. Objective: The present study is based on the evaluation of the effect of thymoquinone on melanogenesis and their possible mechanism of action using the B16F10 melanoma cell line for the production via blocking signaling pathways. Methods: Phase contrast microscopy, cell viability, tyrosinase activity, melanin content and western blot analysis were used in the present study. Results: In the present investigation, cultured melanocytes exhibit that the stimulation of melanin synthesis when treated with thymoquinone. Tyrosinase activity and melanin production in B16F10 melanoma cell line was increased in doze-dependent manner. In western blot, we investigated the involvement of the cAMP/PKA pathway in thymoquinone induced melanogenesis. It was observed protein kinase inhibitors PKA, PKC, PKB and MEK1 decreased the stimulatory effects of thymoquinone from 11.45- fold value to 8.312, 6.631, 4.51, and 7.211-fold value, respectively. However, the results also prove that thymoquinone may partially induce tyrosinase expression via PKA, PKB, PKC and MEK1 signaling pathways. Conclusion: The present finding proposed that thymoquinone is a protective challenger for melanogenesis and it might be useful for the treatment of hypopigmentary disorders.
