Anti-inflammatory NF-B Modulation MC1R and MC3R activation by melanocortin peptides has been shown to suppress NF-B nuclear translocation and downregulate pro-inflammatory cytokine production (TNF-, IL-6, IL-1) in macrophage and keratinocyte models, suggesting a role in cutaneous inflammatory signaling research (Luger et al., Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1997)
This disruption leads to a rearrangement of actin cytoskeleton and altered localization of occludin and claudin-5 [88]
