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:Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor-2 is Induced by Fluid Shear Stress in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells and Affects Cell Proliferation and Survival Introduction: Vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are exposed to fluid shear stress (FSS) after interventional procedures such as balloon-angioplasty. Whereas the effects of hemodynamic forces on endothelial cells are explored in detail, the influence of FSS on smooth muscle cell function is poorly characterized. Here, we investigated the effect of FSS on SMC gene expression and function. Methods: Laminar FSS of arterial level (14 dynes/cm2) was applied to SMC cultures for 24 h in a parallel-plate flow chamber. The effect of FSS on gene expression was first screened with microarray technology and the results further verified by real time (RT) PCR and immunoblotting. Protein expression was also studied in the rat carotid artery after balloon-injury and DNA synthesis and apoptosis was examined in SMCs in vitro. Results: Microarrays identified tissue-pathway inhibitor-2 (TFPI-2) as the most differentially expressed gene by FSS in cultured SMCs. The regulatory effect of FSS on the expression of TFPI-2 was confirmed by RT-PCR and immunobloting demonstrating a more than 400-fold increase in TFPI-2 expression in SMCs exposed to FSS compared to static controls and a consistent upregulation at the protein level. Functionally, SMC proliferation was decreased by FSS and recombinant TFPI-2 was found to inhibit SMC proliferation and induce SMC apoptosis as indicated by activation of caspase-3. In vivo, TFPI-2 expression was found to be up-regulated 5, 10 and 20 h after rat carotid balloon-injury and immunohistochemistry demonstrated TFPI-2 protein in luminal SMCs exposed to FSS in rat carotid intimal hyperplasia 10 days after balloon-injury. Conclusion: FSS strongly influence gene expression in cultured SMCs and induce TFPI-2 expression, which is also expressed after rat carotid balloon injury in luminal SMCs exposed to FSS. Functionally, TFPI-2 may play an important role in vessel wall repair by regulating SMC proliferation and survival. Further studies are needed to elucidate the mechanisms by which TFPI-2 control SMC function. 3 x 2 samples from a paired fluid shear stress experiment on smooth muscle cells.

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:Background: Melatonin is considered to be a polyfunctional master regulator in animals and higher plants. Exogenous melatonin inhibits plant infection by multiple diseases; however, the role of melatonin in cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) infection remains unknown. Results: In this study, we demonstrated that exogenous melatonin treatment can effectively control CGMMV infection. The greatest control effect was achieved by 3 days of root irrigation at a melatonin concentration of 50 µM. Exogenous melatonin showed preventive and therapeutic effects against CGMMV infection at early stage in tobacco and cucumber. We utilized RNA sequencing technology to compare the expression profiles of mock-inoculated, CGMMV-infected, and melatonin+CGMMV-infected tobacco leaves. Defense-related gene CRISP1 was specifically upregulated in response to melatonin, but not to salicylic acid (SA). Silencing CRISP1 enhanced the preventive effects of melatonin on CGMMV infection, but had no effect on CGMMV infection. We also found exogenous melatonin has preventive effects against another Tobamovirus, pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) infection. Conclusions: Together, these results indicate that exogenous melatonin controls two Tobamovirus infection and inhibition of CRISP1 enhanced melatonin control effects against CGMMV infection, which may lead to the development of a novel melatonin treatment for Tobamovirus control.

Project description:Melatonin has been reported to play crucial roles in regulating meat quality, improving reproductive properties and maintaining intestinal health in animal production, but whether it regulates skeletal muscle development in weaned piglet is rarely studied. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of melatonin on growth performance, skeletal muscle development and lipid metabolism in animals by intragastric administration of melatonin solution. Twelve 28-day-old DLY (Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire) weaned piglets with similar body weight were randomly divided into two groups: control group and melatonin group. The results showed that melatonin supplementation for 23 days had no effect on growth performance, but significantly reduced serum glucose content (P<0.05). Remarkably, melatonin increased longissimus dorsi muscle (LDM) weight, eye muscle area and decreased the liver weight in weaned piglets (P<0.05). In addition, the cross-sectional area of muscle fibers was increased (P<0.05), while triglyceride (TG) levels were decreased in LDM and psoas major muscle (PMM) by melatonin treatment (P<0.05). Transcriptome sequencing showed melatonin induced the expression of genes related to skeletal muscle hypertrophy and fatty acid oxidation. Enrichment analysis indicated that melatonin regulated cholesterol metabolism, protein digestion and absorption and mitophagy signaling pathways in muscle. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) also confirmed the effects of melatonin on skeletal muscle development and mitochondrial structure and function. Moreover, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analysis revealed that melatonin supplementation elevated the gene expression of cell differentiation and muscle fiber development, including paired box 7 (PAX7), myogenin (MYOG), myosin heavy chain (MYHC) ⅡA and MYHC ⅡB (P<0.05), which was accompanied by increased insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and insulin like growth factor binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) expression in LDM (P<0.05). Additionally, melatonin regulated lipid metabolism and activated mitochondrial function in muscle by increasing the mRNA abundance of cytochrome c oxidase subunit 6A (COX6A), COX5B and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (CPT2) and decreasing the mRNA expression of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPARG), Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) (P<0.05). Together, our results suggest that melatonin could promote skeletal muscle growth and muscle fiber hypertrophy, improve mitochondrial function and decrease fat deposition in muscle.

Project description:In this study, we implemented RNA sequencing to identify melatonin sensitive transcripts during culture maturation. This work demonstrates that majority of melatonin sensitive genes are growth stage specific. Melatonin caused differential gene expression of 81 transcripts during the exponential growth and 30 during early stationary phase. This indole molecule affects genes related to the biofilm formation, fimbria biogenesis, transcriptional regulators, carbohydrate transport and metabolism, phosphotransferase system (PTS), stress response, metal ion binding and transport. It is likely that differential expression of biofilm and fimbria related genes is responsible for differences in macrocolony area. Additionally, melatonin potentially helps Klebsiella aerogenes in host colonization.
