Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study tested whether autophagy is essential for skin pigmentation and how to affect the pigmentation in skin. Using normal human epidermal melanocytes (NHEMs) and normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs), the autophagy-related factors (ATG5, ATG7) were silenced, the melanogenesis-related genes and pathways were investigated in NHEMs, and the melanosome-uptake and melanosome degradation in NHEKs were also analyzed. This study demonstrated that autophagy activity affects melanosome formation and melanin synthesis in epidermal melanocytes, and autophagy is essential in melanosome degradation in epidermal keratinocytes.
