Project description:Melatonin is a well-known agent that plays multiple roles in animals. Its possible function in plants is less clear. In the present study, we tested the effect of melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) on soybean growth and development. Both spraying of leaves and seed-coating with melatonin significantly promoted soybean growth as judged from leaf size and plant height. This enhancement was also observed in soybean production and their fatty acid content. Melatonin increased pod number, seed number and seed weight. However, the 100-seed weight was not influenced by melatonin application. Melatonin also improved soybean tolerance to salt and drought stresses. Transcriptome analysis revealed that melatonin up-regulated the expression of many genes and alleviated the inhibitory effects of salt stress on gene expressions. Further detailed analysis of the affected pathways documents that melatonin likely achieved its promotional roles in soybean through enhancement of genes involved in cell division, photosynthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, fatty acid biosynthesis and ascorbate metabolism. Our results demonstrate that melatonin has significant potential for improving of soybean growth and seed production. Further study should uncover more about the molecular mechanisms of melatoninM-bM-^@M-^Ys function in soybeans and other crops. Four different treatments were chosen, water, salt, 100M-BM-5M melatonin and salt plus 100M-BM-5M melatonin. The comparison of salt/melatonin-treated sample versus water-treated sample reveals salt or melatonin induced transcriptome changes. The comparison of melatonin plus salt treated sample versus salt-treated sample reveals melatonin induced changes when salt exists.

Project description:Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) has been shown to have a cardioprotective effect against inflammatory diseases. However, the mechanisms underlying the protective role of melatonin in these diseases remain to be revealed. In this study, melatonin was administrated to mice 14 days before cecal ligation puncture surgery. The characteristics of sepsis-induced AKI and myocarditis were detected. The results showed that melatonin could alleviated cardiac and renal dysfunction in sepsis model. RNA-seq analysis showed that MLT repressed the oxidant stress in response to kidney injury. RNA sequencing assays with heart tissues showed melatonin maintains the mitochondrial function in sepsis-caused myocarditis.

Project description:Melatonin plays a potential role in multiple plant developmental processes and stress response. However, there are no reports regarding exogenous melatonin promoting rice seed germination under salinity and nor about the underlying molecular mechanisms at genome-wide. Here, we revealed that exogenous application of melatonin conferred roles in promoting rice seed germination under salinity. The putative molecular mechanisms of exogenous melatonin in promoting rice seed germination under high salinity were further investigated through metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses. The results state clearly that the phytohormone contents were reprogrammed, the activities of SOD, CAT, POD were enhanced, and the total antioxidant capacity was activated under salinity by exogenous melatonin. Additionally, melatonin-pre-treated seeds exhibited higher concentrations of glycosides than non-treated seeds under salinity. Furthermore, exogenous melatonin alleviated the accumulation of fatty acids induced by salinity. Genome-wide transcriptomic profiling identified 7160 transcripts that were differentially expressed in NaCl, MT100 and control. Pathway and GO term enrichment analysis revealed that genes involved in the response to oxidative stress, hormone metabolism, heme building, mitochondrion, tricarboxylic acid transformation were altered after melatonin pre-treatment under salinity. This study provides the first evidence of the protective roles of exogenous melatonin in increasing rice seed germination under salt stress, mainly via activation of antioxidants and modulation of metabolic homeostasis.

Project description:Oocyte quality, which is directly related to reprogramming competence, is a major important limiting factor in animal cloning efficiency. Compared with oocytes matured in vivo, in vitro matured (IVM) oocytes exhibit lower oocyte quality and reprogramming competence primarily because of their higher levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this study, we investigate whether supplementing the oocyte maturation medium with melatonin, a free radical scavenger, could improve oocyte quality and reprogramming competence. We found that 10−9 M melatonin effectively alleviated oxidative stress, markedly decreased early apoptosis levels, recovered the integrity of mitochondria, ameliorated the spindle assembly and chromosome alignment in oocytes, and significantly promoted subsequent cloned embryo development in vitro. We also analyzed the effects of melatonin on epigenetic modifications in bovine oocytes. Melatonin increased the global H3K9 acetylation levels, reduced the H3K9 methylation levels, and minimally affected DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation. Genome-wide expression analysis of genes affected by melatonin during oocyte maturation was conducted by high-throughput scRNA sequencing. We found that several important genes altered by melatonin were involved in oocyte stress defense. These genes included GSTP1, mitochondrial DNA polymerase POLG, mitochondrial ATP synthase ATP5E, centriole-enriched gene CEP295, spindle assembly-related gene TCTP, cytoprotection, and anti-apoptosis-related gene HSP27. Our results indicated critical roles of melatonin during bovine oocyte maturation and development.

Project description:The purpose of this study is to investigate how melatonin-influenced promyogenic factor secreted from fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) regulate muscle regeneration and muscle cell fusion during muscle repair. We highlighted the role of melatonin in regulating crosstalk between muscle stem cells and FAPs during muscle regeneration. Mice that were treated with melatonin exhibited improved muscle regeneration and reduced intramuscular fat deposition, which were associated with enhanced myogenesis, remodeled lipid metabolism and reduced immune cell infiltration. Notably, melatonin did not exert positive effects on cell fusion and myotube formation during differentiation. Interestingly, melatonin repressed fibro-adipogenic progenitor (FAP) adipogenesis in a dose-dependent manner in vitro. Furthermore, melatonin treatment enhanced the pro-myogenic effects of FAPs, which stimulated GDF10 secretion to promote muscle cell fusion and induce myotube hypertrophy.

Project description:Objective: Melatonin and auxin are both tryptophan-derived indole molecules. Much attention has been given to proposed auxin-like activities of melatonin (regulating growth concentration-dependently). However, it still largely remains unclear whether melatonin and auxin regulate signalling pathways in a similar fashion. The purpose of this study is to directly compare the transcriptome response of Arabidopsis with melatonin or auxin. Method: mRNA profiles of 12-day old rosettes treated for a further of 3 days with +/- melatonin (5µM, 1005µM) or NAA(4.5µM) were generated by RNA-sequencing in triplicates (three independent biological experiments), using Illumina NextSeq 550 technology. Results: Comparative global transcriptome analysis conducted on Arabidopsis rosette treated with melatonin or NAA under exact same set of experimental conditions revealed differential number of genes and type of pathways. While auxin (4.5µM) regulated a large number of genes and elicited a diverse response, melatonin (100µM) showed a modest effect on transcriptome with only few genes significantly regulated whereas none regulated at approximately equimolar concentration with NAA (5µM) as compared to untreated solvent control (0.1% EtOH). Interestingly, the most prominent category of genes regulated by melatonin trended towards biotic stress defense pathways. Conclusions: These findings indicate that melatonin and auxin act quite differently toward signaling pathways in Arabidopsis. Melatonin has its own set of mechanisms to exert its functions, with strong inclination toward biotic defense pathways.

Project description:Melatonin is a known modulator of follicle development, it acts through several molecular cascades via binding to its two high-affinity, G-protein coupled receptors MT1 and MT2. Even though it is believed that melatonin can modulate granulosa cell (GC) functions, there is still limited knowledge of how it can act in human GC through MT1 and MT2 and which one is the major receptor implicated in the effects of melatonin on the metabolic processes in the dominant follicle. To better characterize the roles of the MT1 and MT2 receptors on the effects of melatonin on follicular atresia and the regulation of proliferation and differentiation of granulosa cells during the antral stage, human granulosa-like tumor cells (KGN) were treated with specific melatonin receptor agonists and antagonists, and gene expression was analyzed with RNA-seq technology. Following appropriate normalization and the application of a fold change cut-off of 1.5 (FC 1.5, p ≤ 0.05) for each treatment, lists of the principal differentially expressed genes (DEGs) are generated. Analysis of major upstream regulators suggested that the MT1 receptor may be involved in the melatonin antiproliferative effect by reprogramming the metabolism of human GC by activating the PKB signaling pathway. Our data suggest that melatonin may act complementary through both MT1 and MT2 receptors to modulate human GC steroidogenesis, proliferation, and differentiation. However, MT2 receptors may be the ones implicated in transducing the effects of melatonin on the prevention of GC luteinization and follicle atresia at the antral follicular stage through stimulating the PKA pathway.

Project description:Intramuscular injection of glycerol (Gly) has been reported to lead to skeletal muscle regeneration and ectopic fat deposition. We utilized glycerol injections in the tibialis anterior muscles to investigate the effects of melatonin on skeletal muscle regeneration and intramuscular fat infiltration. We characterized genome-wide expression profiles of tibialis anterior muscles from wild-type mice injured by glycerol injection following melatonin intervention. Mice that were treated with melatonin exhibited improved muscle regeneration and reduced intramuscular fat deposition, which were associated with enhanced myogenesis, remodeled lipid metabolism and reduced immune cell infiltration.
