Abstract
Understanding the complete map of melatonin synthesis, the information transfer network among circadian genes in pineal gland, promises to resolve outstanding issues in endocrine systems and improve the clinical diagnosis and treatment level of insomnia, immune disease and hysterical depression. Currently, some landmark studies have revealed some genes that regulate circadian rhythm associated with melatonin synthesis. However, these studies don't give a complete map of melatonin synthesis, as transfer information among circadian genes in pineal gland is lost. New biotechnology, integrates dynamic sequential omics and multiplexed imaging method, has been used to visualize the complete process of melatonin synthesis. It is found that there are two extremely significant information transfer processes involved in melatonin synthesis. In the first stage, as the light intensity decreased, melatonin synthesis mechanism has started, which is embodied in circadian genes, Rel, Polr2A, Mafk, and Srbf1 become active. In the second stage, circadian genes Hif1a, Bach1, Clock, E2f6, and Per2 are regulated simultaneously by four genes, Rel, Polr2A, Mafk, and Srbf1 and contribute genetic information to Aanat. The expeditious growth in this technique offer reference for an overall understanding of gene-to-gene regulatory relationship among circadian genes in pineal gland. In the study, dynamic sequential omics and the analysis process well provide the current state and future perspectives to better diagnose and cure diseases associated with melatonin synthesis disorder.

Electroacupuncture Enhances Neuroplasticity by Regulating the Orexin A-Mediated cAMP/PKA/CREB Signaling Pathway in Senescence-Accelerated Mouse Prone 8 (SAMP8) Mice. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:8694462. [PMID: 35154573 PMCID: PMC8837456 DOI: 10.1155/2022/8694462] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2021] [Accepted: 01/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Learning and memory disorders and decreased neuroplasticity are the main clinical manifestations of age-induced cognitive dysfunction. Orexin A (OxA) has been reported to show abnormally elevated expression in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and to be associated with cognitive impairment. Here, we further assessed whether the excitatory neurotransmitter OxA is involved in neuroplasticity and cognitive function in senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8) mice. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of OxA by using behavioral tests, CSF microdialysis, immunofluorescence, toluidine blue staining, gene silencing, transmission electron microscopy, and Western blotting. The results showed that 10 Hz electroacupuncture (EA) effectively alleviated learning and memory impairment in 7-month-old SAMP8 mice, reduced OxA levels in the CSF, increased the level of the neurotransmitter glutamate, alleviated pathological damage to hippocampal tissue, improved the synaptic structure, enhanced synaptic transmission, and regulated the expression of cAMP/PKA/CREB signaling pathway-related proteins. These results suggest that EA enhances neuroplasticity in SAMP8 mice by regulating the OxA-mediated cAMP/PKA/CREB signaling pathway, thus improving cognitive function. These findings suggest that EA may be beneficial for the prevention and treatment of age-induced cognitive impairment.

Melatonin Relations with Energy Metabolism as Possibly Involved in Fatal Mountain Road Traffic Accidents. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21062184. [PMID: 32235717 PMCID: PMC7139848 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21062184] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2020] [Revised: 03/13/2020] [Accepted: 03/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Previous results evidenced acute exposure to high altitude (HA) weakening the relation between daily melatonin cycle and the respiratory quotient. This review deals with the threat extreme environments pose on body time order, particularly concerning energy metabolism. Working at HA, at poles, or in space challenge our ancestral inborn body timing system. This conflict may also mark many aspects of our current lifestyle, involving shift work, rapid time zone crossing, and even prolonged office work in closed buildings. Misalignments between external and internal rhythms, in the short term, traduce into risk of mental and physical performance shortfalls, mood changes, quarrels, drug and alcohol abuse, failure to accomplish with the mission and, finally, high rates of fatal accidents. Relations of melatonin with energy metabolism being altered under a condition of hypoxia focused our attention on interactions of the indoleamine with redox state, as well as, with autonomic regulations. Individual tolerance/susceptibility to such interactions may hint at adequately dealing with body timing disorders under extreme conditions.
