The purpose of this study was to investigate if PPAR γ  plays a role in the melanogenesis. B16/F10 cells were divided into five groups: control, melanin stimulating hormone ( α -MSH),  α -MSH+retinol,  α -MSH+GW9662 (PPAR γ  antagonist), and GW9662. Cells in the control group were cultured in the Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) for 48 hrs. To initiate the melanogenesis, cells in all  α -MSH groups were cultured in medium containing  α -MSH (10 nM) for 48 hrs. Cells were treated simultaneously with retinol (5  μ M) in the  α -MSH+retinol group. Instead of retinol, GW9662 (10  μ M) was cocultured in the  α -MSH+GW9662 group. Cells in the final group were cultured in the DMEM with GW9662. All the analyses were carried out 48 hours after treatments. The  α -MSH was able to increase cell number, melanin production, and the activity of tyrosinase, the limiting enzyme in melanogenesis. These  α -MSH-induced changes were prevented either by retinol or by GW9662. Further analyses of the activities of antioxidant enzymes including glutathione, catalase, and the superoxide dismutase (SOD) showed that  α -MSH treatment raised the activity of SOD which was dependent on PPAR γ  level. According to our results, the  α -MSH-induced melanogenesis was PPAR γ  dependent, which also modulated the expression of SOD.
