Gene regulation by melatonin linked to epigenetic phenomena

Gene

Abstract

Many exogenous (e.g., toxins, chemicals, ultraviolet, cigarette smoke) and endogenous (e.g., hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, cytokines, chemokines) agents disrupt the intracellular environment and result in a massive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS). The molecular damage that ROS/RNS induce is referred to as nitrooxidative stress. The cellular consequences of nitrooxidative stress include lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation and DNA damage. Additionally, ROS and RNS deplete cellular defenses and initiate inflammation. It is widely accepted that nitrooxidative stress and inflammation play important roles in the pathogenesis of a variety of human diseases and sequelae. Several processes are crucial to overcome the damaging cellular events caused by nitrooxidative stress, e.g., scavenging both ROS and RNS, induction of defense mechanisms and alleviating/suppressing inflammation are essential. Both endogenous and pharmacological concentrations of melatonin have long been known to play role in the direct scavenging of ROS and RNS as well as inducing antioxidant defense mechanisms and ameliorating inflammation. The current review summarizes research related to two major transcription facto...Continue Reading
