Lycogen reduces melanin content through the ERK pathway. B16F10 cells were treated with Lycogen™ at the concentration of 12.5 μM for 48h and PD98059 (50 μM) for 24h. (a) The protein and (b) melanin expression weremeasured. The expression of β-actin served as the quantitative control. Inserted values indicated relative protein expression in comparison with β-actin. (c) The melanin was detected in B16F10 cells transiently transfected withERK dominant negative or with control vector after treatment with Lycogen™.
