Melatonin reduces endoplasmic reticulum stress and corneal dystrophy ‐associated TGFBIp through activation of endoplasmic reticulum‐associated protein degradation
In conclusion, this study provides new insights into the mechanisms by which melatonin confers its protective actions during ER stress. The results also indicate that melatonin might have potential as a therapeutic agent for ER stress‐related diseases including GCD2. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Melatonin administration to wild ‐type mice and nontreated NLRP3 mutant mice share similar inhibition of the inflammatory response during sepsis
Abstract The NLRP3 inflammasome is involved in the innate immune response during inflammation. Moreover, melatonin blunts the NF‐κB/NLRP3 connection during sepsis. Thus, we compared the roles of the NLRP3 inflammasome and/or melatonin treatment in the septic response of wild‐type and NLRP3−/− mice. Mouse myocardial tissue was used for this purpose. The nuclear turnover of NF‐κB was enhanced during sepsis, with an increase in TNFα, iNOS, and pro‐IL‐1β. The lack of inflammasome in NLRP3−/− mice significantly reduced that response and blunted IL‐1β maturation due to the lack of caspase‐1. Clock and ...

Melatonin reverses H2O2 ‐induced senescence in SH‐SY5Y cells by enhancing autophagy via sirtuin 1 deacetylation of the RelA/p65 subunit of NF‐κB
This study focuses on the effect of melatonin on autophagy via the deacetylation activity of SIRT1 on RelA/p65, a subunit of NF‐ĸB, to determine whether melatonin can attenuate the aging condition. SH‐SY5Y cells were treated with H2O2 to induce the senescent state. These results demonstrated that melatonin reduced a number of beta‐galactosidase (SA‐βgal)‐positive cells, a senescent marker. In addition, melatonin increased the protein levels of SIRT1, Beclin1, and LC3‐II, a hallmark protein of autophagy, and reduced the levels of acetylated‐Lys310 in the p65 subunit of NF‐ĸB in SH‐SY5Y cells treated wit...
