Maclurin-induced pigmentation was attenuated by MITF knockdown. (a, b) Knockdown of MITF attenuated the effects of maclurin on (a) melanin levels and (b) cellular tyrosinase activity. (c) Western blot analysis of MITF. ∗p < 0.05 vs. control group, op < 0.05 vs. maclurin (50 μM)-treated control. M: maclurin; Fk: forskolin.
