[4-t-Butylphenyl]-N-(4-imidazol-1-yl phenyl)sulfonamide (ISCK03) Inhibits SCF/c-kit Signaling in 501mel Human Melanoma Cells and Abolishes Melanin Production in Mice and Brownish Guinea Pigs

research [4-t-Butylphenyl]-N-(4-imidazol-1-yl phenyl)sulfonamide (ISCK03) inhibits SCF/c-kit signaling in 501mel human melanoma cells and abolishes melanin production in mice and brownish guinea pigs

26 citations , July 2007 in “Biochemical Pharmacology”

This study found that phenyl-imidazole sulfonamide derivatives, particularly ISCK03, inhibited c-kit signaling and promoted depigmentation in various experimental settings, suggesting potential use as skin-whitening agents.

Stem Cell Factor/c-Kit Signaling in Normal and Androgenetic Alopecia Hair Follicles

research Stem cell factor/c-Kit signalling in normal and androgenetic alopecia hair follicles

39 citations , January 2008 in “Journal of Endocrinology”

This study found that in androgenetic alopecia, reduced stem cell factor production by dermal papilla cells may lead to decreased pigmentation in hair follicles.

research SPRY1 Deficiency in Keratinocytes Induces Follicular Melanocyte Stem Cell Migration to the Epidermis through p53/Stem Cell Factor/C-KIT Signaling

4 citations , March 2024 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

SPRY1 deficiency in skin cells causes stem cells to move to the skin surface, leading to increased pigmentation.

research B-Raf and C-Raf Are Required for Melanocyte Stem Cell Self-Maintenance

26 citations , September 2012 in “Cell Reports”

In this study, knockout of B-raf and C-raf genes in mice showed they are not needed for early melanocyte development, but are crucial for maintaining melanocyte stem cells, as evidenced by hair graying due to stem cell depletion.
