Cell were treated with 100 nM α-MSH for 12 h before mRNA extraction ( n = 3 independent experiments). Cells were cultured in the absence of serum and UV. (F) Immunoblot analysis of the indicated proteins in A375 MC1R-KO cells rescued with the control vector, MC1R, or cilio-MC1R. Cells were treated with 100 nM α-MSH for 24 h in the absence of serum and UV before lysis. GAPDH served as a control. (G, H) Immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting showing the interaction between Sox-3×Flag and MITF-HA. HEK293T cells were transfected with the indicated plasmids and immunoprecipitated with antibodies against Flag (G) and HA (H). (I) Dual-luciferase reporter assay of the pGL3-basic or DCT promoter transfected with the indicated plasmids. The relative luciferase activity was calculated as the luciferase activity normalized with the control vector ( n = 3 independent experiments). (J) Tyrosinase activity of A375 MC1R-KO cells rescued with the control vector, MC1R, or cilio-MC1R. Cells were transfected with control or Sox9 shRNAs and treated with 100 nM α-MSH for 24 h in the absence of serum and UV before detection ( n = 3 independent experiments). (K) Immunoblot analysis of the indicated proteins in A375 MC1R-KO cells rescued with the control vector, MC1R, or cilio-MC1R. Cells were transfected with control or Sox9 shRNAs and treated with α-MSH for 24 h in the absence of serum and UV before lysis. GAPDH served as a control. Data are presented as mean ± SD. Statistical significance was determined by unpaired two-tailed Student’s t test (B and C) or one-way ANOVA (E, I, and J); * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001; ns, not significant. See also . The underlying data for this figure can be found in . The uncropped blots are included in . α-MSH, α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone; MC1R, melanocortin 1 receptor; UV, ultraviolet.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 3. Expression of melanocyte markers in ChMC. Mouse ChMC were examined for expression of Mitf, Mc1r, Trp2, Mlana, Slc, P-Mel, Pan Cytokeratin (RPE marker), c-Kit, and S100β using flow cytometry. The shaded areas show staining in the absence of primary antibody (secondary control), and the unshaded peaks show staining with primary antibody. The difference between the geometric means of primary antibody-stained cells and secondary antibody-stained control cells can be found in the top right corner of each graph. These experiments were performed at least 2 times with 3 different isolations of ChMC with similar results.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 8. Immunostaining of the melanocytes in the choroidoscleral complex. Choroid/RPE whole- mounts were prepared from 8-week-old FVB/NJ mice and stained with specific antibodies as detailed in the Section 2. Melanocytes positive for S100β ((B); red) and MITF ((C), cyan or white) were detected in the choroidoscleral complex. A low magnification of wholemount double staining is shown in (A). Higher magnification of double staining is shown in (D). Images were captured using Nikon A1 confocal microscope and processed using NIS-Elements Software. Scale bar = 50 µm. These experiments were repeated with eyes from at least 5 mice with similar results.
