Article Abstract

The accumulation of the amino acid cysteine in lysosomes produces toxic substances, which are avoided by a gene (CTNS) coding for a transporter that pumps cystine out of lysosomes. Melanosomes are lysosome-related organelles that synthesize melanins, the most widespread pigments in animals. The synthesis of the orange melanin, termed pheomelanin, depends on cysteine levels because the sulfhydryl group is used to form the pigment. Pheomelanin synthesis may, therefore, be affected by cysteine homeostasis, although this has never been explored in a natural system. As diet is an important source of cysteine, here we indirectly tested for such an effect by searching for an association between food abundance and pheomelanin content of feathers in a wild population of Northern goshawk Accipiter gentilis. As predicted on the basis that CTNS expression may inhibit pheomelanin synthesis and increase with food abundance as previously found in other strictly carnivorous birds, we found that the feather pheomelanin content in nestling goshawks, but not in adults, decreased as the abundance of prey available to them increased. In contrast, variation in the feather content of the non-sulphurated melanin form (eumelanin) was only explained by sex in both nestlings and adults. We also found that the feather pheomelanin content of nestlings was negatively related to that of their mothers, suggesting a relevant environmental influence on pheomelanin synthesis. Overall, our findings suggest that variation in pheomelanin synthesis may be a side effect of the maintenance of cysteine homeostasis. This may help explaining variability in the expression of pigmented phenotypes.

Research progress on pathogenesis of skin pigmentation in chronic liver disease.

Chronic liver disease (CLD) is a significant global health concern that leads to increased morbidity and mortality, and is associated with skin pigmentation changes. Excessive facial pigmentation is a common characteristic of patients with CLD, although the exact mechanism underlying this phenomenon remains unclear. Melanin, which consists of eumelanin and pheomelanin, is synthesized in melanocytes.

Animal coloration serves various signaling and non-signaling functions. In damselflies and dragonflies (Odonata), such colors may not only play photoprotective and/or thermoregulatory roles but also serve as visual signals during courtship and/or agonistic interactions. Here, we analyzed the coloration of Perithemis tenera wings, a potential secondary sexual ornament, applying spectrophotometry and visual modeling to gain a deeper understanding of their color mechanisms and functions.

Pigment-based coloration is prevalent in animals, but its expression greatly varies across species, populations, and even among individuals in the same populations. Some animals are highly pigmented and thus have conspicuous coloration, whereas others are modestly pigmented and thus have drab coloration. A possible explanation for the variety in pigmentation is a resource-based tradeoff, in which resources invested in pigmentation are unavailable for other functional traits, and thus animals that need to invest in the latter have limited resources to invest in pigmentation.

Oximetry is used to quantify the presence of oxygen in soft tissues. It can be expressed as, for example, tissue oxygen saturation (StO), arterial oxygen saturation (SaO) and pulsatile oxygen saturation (SpO), among others. Non-invasive medical devices are used to estimate (SaO).

Article Synopsis
  • Patients with hyperpigmentation face significant psychosocial challenges, highlighting the need for effective treatments.
  • Hydroquinone is the current standard treatment, but concerns over its side effects have led to the development of alternative therapies.
  • Various agents, including cysteamine and glutathione, can shift melanin production from eumelanin to pheomelanin, and it’s important to educate patients about photoprotection to mitigate risks associated with increased pheomelanin.
