• Tranexamic acid (TA) reduces hyperpigmentation in melasma patients, but the mechanism of its action is unknown. We have investigated the action of TA in human melanocyte cultures with or without keratinocyte-conditioned medium (KCM). In melanocyte cultures without KCM, TA in the concentration range of 0.5mM to 5mM did not reduce the activity of tyrosinase, a key enzyme of melanin synthesis, whereas it reduced the tyrosinase activity in the presence of KCM. These results indicate that TA inhibits melanin synthesis of melanocytes not by acting directly on melanocytes, but by inhibiting melanocyte activators contained in KCM. In fractionation studies of KCM, the stimulatory activity was predominantly contained in the fractions with an apparent molecular weight of 54000. Inhibition of the urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) in KCM with specific anti-uPA antibody significantly decreased the KCM-induced increase of tyrosinase activity and inhibited the KCM-induced morphological changes of melanocytes. Our results suggest that TA inhibits melanin synthesis in melanocytes by interfering with the interaction of melanocytes and keratinocytes through inhibition of the plasminogen/plasmin system.
