Heat promotes melanogenesis by increasing the paracrine effects in keratinocytes via the TRPV3/Ca2+/Hh signaling pathway

Summary: Global warming and rising temperature significantly increase the incidence of heat stress, which is known to affect the process of inflammation and aging. However, the effect of heat stress on skin melanogenesis is not fully known. We found that healthy foreskin tissues underwent significan...

description Summary: Global warming and rising temperature significantly increase the incidence of heat stress, which is known to affect the process of inflammation and aging. However, the effect of heat stress on skin melanogenesis is not fully known. We found that healthy foreskin tissues underwent significant pigmentation when exposed to 41°C. Furthermore, heat stress promoted melanogenesis in pigment cells by increasing the paracrine effects of keratinocytes. High-throughput RNA sequencing showed that heat stress activates the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway in keratinocytes. The agonists of Hh signaling promote the paracrine effect of keratinocytes on melanogenesis. In addition, transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) 3 agonists activate the Hh signaling in keratinocytes and augment its paracrine effect on melanogenesis. The heat-induced activation of Hh signaling is dependent on TRPV3-mediated Ca2+ influx. Heat exposure promotes melanogenesis by increasing the paracrine effects in keratinocytes via the TRPV3/Ca2+/Hh signaling pathway. Our findings provide insights into the mechanisms of heat-induced skin pigmentation.
