A co-culture system of melanocytic cells and keratinocytes was used to examine dendricity and dopachrome tautomerase (DCT) responses in low penetrant 'r' homozygote and 'R/+' heterozygote MC1R variant allele expressing cells compared to that of wild-type (WT) cells. The V60L-/- homozygote r variant cells showed similar responses to ligand as WT MC1R strains, while V92M(-/-) homozygote r variant cells were generally shown to have greater dendricity and express higher DCT than the WT cells, even at basal levels. The R151C+/- heterozygote cells showed similar responses to WT cells, while the R160W+/- and D294H+/- variant cells were reduced in their responses to NDP-MSH, but still had an active cAMP response with forskolin treatment. These responses are consistent with the dominant negative effect of these alleles on the MC1R WT allele that has previously been demonstrated genetically and biochemically.
