Abstract
Senescent fibroblasts play a role in aging pigmentation. In this study, we found that GDF15 expression levels are increased in UV-irradiated senescent fibroblasts and photoaged hyperpigmented skin. To investigate the effects of GDF15 on melanogenesis, normal human melanocytes were cocultured with fibroblasts infected with the GDF15 lentivirus or GDF15 short hairpin RNA. It was found that GDF15 stimulates melanogenesis in melanocytes through...
