(A) Schematic illustration of ASO-PR10 prodrug conjugate formulation and their micellar SNA assemblage. (B) the activity of tyrosinase and (C) the content of melanin in various groups (treatment with ASO-PR10, DNA-PR10 with a scrambled sequence [Scr-PR10], PR-devoid micelles [in PBS], or free PR [in DMSO]. Note: a-MSH was applied for melanogenesis stimulation. The activity of tyrosinase and the content of melanin were documented as a percent of the difference in α-MSH-treated cells (2 to 20 µM PR, 48 h treatment). PR-devoid micelles: 1 µM ASO. (D) Histological study of isolated mouse ear following treatment with PR/ASO-PR10/carrier groups (paraffin-embedded). Note: Melanin (indicated by black arrows) is stained by Fontana − Masson staining. Scale bar: 50 μm. (E) Relative MC1R levels in ASO-PR10-treated group compared to ears treated with nanocarrier were determined via immunohistostaining. *** p < 0.001 (two-tailed test).
