Identification, transcriptional and functional analysis of heat ‐shock protein 90s in banana (Musa acuminata L.) highlight their novel role in melatonin‐mediated plant response to Fusarium wilt
In this study, nine 90 kDa heat‐shock proteins (HSP90s) were genomewide identified. Moreover, the expression profile of them in different organs, developmental stages, and in response to abiotic and fungal pathogen Foc were systematically analyzed. Notably, we found that the transcripts of 9 MaHSP90s were commonly regulated by melatonin (N‐acetyl‐5‐methoxytryptamine) and Foc infection. Further studies showed that exogenous application of melatonin improved banana resistance to Fusarium wilt, but the effect was lost when cotreated with HSP90 inhibitor (geldanamycin, GDA). Moreover, melatonin and GDA had opposite e...

Melatonin rescues cardiac thioredoxin system during ischemia ‐reperfusion injury in acute hyperglycemic state by restoring Notch1/Hes1/Akt signaling in a membrane receptor‐dependent manner
This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of melatonin against myocardial ischemia‐reperfusion (MI/R) injury in acute hyperglycemic state with a focus on Notch1/Hes1/Akt signaling and intracellular thioredoxin (Trx) system. Sprague‐Dawley rats were subjected to MI/R surgery and high glucose (HG, 500 g/L) infusion (4 ml/kg/h) to induce temporary hyperglycemia. Rats were treated with or without melatonin (10 mg/kg/d) during the operation. Furthermore, HG (33mM) incubated H9c2 cardiomyoblasts were treated in the presence or absence of Luzindole (a competitive melatonin receptor antagonist), DAPT (a γ‐Secret...

Melatonin modulates neonatal brain inflammation through endoplasmic reticulum stress, autophagy, and miR ‐34a/silent information regulator 1 pathway
Abstract Maternal infection/inflammation represents one of the most important factors involved in the etiology of brain injury in newborns. We investigated the modulating effect of prenatal melatonin on the neonatal brain inflammation process resulting from maternal intraperitoneal (i.p.) lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injections. LPS (300 μg/kg) was administered to pregnant rats at gestational days 19 and 20. Melatonin (5 mg/kg) was administered i.p. at the same time as LPS. Melatonin counteracted the LPS sensitization to a second ibotenate‐induced excitotoxic insult performed on postnatal day (PND) 4. As melatonin succeed...
