Ultraviolet radiations (UVR) are responsible for a wide variety of acute and chronic effects on the animal skin. However, the effect of UVR-induced oxidative stress and protection through paracrine factors on animal skin has received little attention. We previously demonstrated how heat stress-induced adaptation in Bos indicus melanocytes was dependent on the level of melanin and reduction of apoptosis. Therefore, in the present investigation, the survival mechanisms adopted by melanocytes under UV stress and the role of alpha-MSH in cell survival under in vitro conditions were studied. After the treatment of melanocyte cells with UVR (using Osram ultravitalux 300 W lamp), analysis of Gene expression using Real-Time PCR was done to study the adopted molecular pathways under stressful conditions. In addition, alpha-MSH was used to assess its modulating role in cell survival under stress. This study revealed the increase in the expression of genes related to melanogenesis, cell cycle, heat shock proteins, and apoptosis of the cells after UVR stress and demonstrated the role of paracrine factor (alpha-MSH) in elevating the protection response to stressful conditions like UVR stress by increasing the melanogenesis and decreasing the mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis. Based on the results of the present study, it can be stated that alpha-MSH can play a pivotal role in the protection of animal skin cells under stressful conditions in climate-changing scenario.
