This study was designed to elucidate the contribution of Mc1r in <i>Xenopus tropicalis</i>. Our results reveal that targeted ablation of <i>mc1r</i> in <i>Xenopus tropicalis</i> led to a significant reduction in dorsal skin pigmentation, while simultaneously accelerating the onset of melanophore pigmentation in the ventral region. This dual effect resulted in a perturbation of the canonical countershading pattern. Additionally, knockout of <i>mc1r</i> disrupted the expression of multiple genes primarily associated with pigmentation.

Although mutations in ABCB6 account for many DUH cases, recently, the SAM and SH3 domain-containing 1 (SASH1) gene has emerged as a key player in DUH. Additionally, SASH1 mutations have been associated with the pure-lentiginous phenotype of familial pigmentation. In this review of literature, we found 22 different SASH1 mutations, most inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. These variants cause distinct phenotypes, including DUH, lentiginosis, and rarely, an autosomal recessive syndromic form with alopecia, palmoplantar keratoderma, and increased risk of malignancies. Functional studies have revealed that SASH1 acts as both a tumor suppressor and a pro-melanogenic factor. It modulates key pathways such as p53–POMC–α-MSH–MC1R–MITF and Gαs-SASH1–IQGAP1–E-cadherin pathways, affecting melanosome production, transport, and melanocyte migration. This unique dual role of SASH1 highlights its importance in melanocyte homeostasis and UV-induced pigmentation. Understanding the role of SASH1 in regulating pigmentation can help foster novel therapeutic approaches for these genodermatoses and related pigmentary anomalies, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":219,"journal":{"name":"Pigment Cell & Melanoma Research","volume":"38 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/pcmr.70032","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144273075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The specific etiology of vitiligo is not fully understood, but it is thought to result from a complex interplay of factors, including autoimmune responses, intrinsic melanocyte dysfunction, genetic susceptibility, oxidative stress, and neurogenic imbalances. The disfiguring nature of vitiligo significantly impacts the mental and physical health of patients, and psychological stress can further induce and exacerbate vitiligo. Recent research has underscored the potential mediating roles of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis, hormones, and neuropeptides in the pathogenesis of vitiligo. Furthermore, individuals with vitiligo have been shown to have a notably higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome compared to the general population. This evidence suggests that vitiligo is not merely a cosmetic issue confined to the skin but also a systemic disease with broader health implications.

However, it is more common in domestic mammals due to artificial selection. For this reason, domestication could provide valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying the evolution of colour diversity. This raises the question of whether the associations between coat colour and other phenotypes in domestic animals are similar to those in free-living animals. Our literature review of cows, goats and sheep suggests that these associations can differ not only between species but also within and between breeds. This pattern holds for all the traits that we considered: morphology, behaviour, physiology, reproduction, milk production and parasitism. The only consistent association we found in the literature was the attraction of flies towards dark-coloured cows. The relationships between same colour morph, cortisol and thermoregulation varied across environments, suggesting a possible condition-dependent expression of multiple traits. We conclude that artificial selection may lead to a different integration of multiple phenotypes compared to animals living in the wild.
