    Applications
    Melatonin receptor 1A (MTNR1A) is one of the two main receptors for melatonin, a hormone primarily known for regulating circadian rhythms. MTNR1A is expressed in various tissues, including the brain, retina, and reproductive organs. Recent studies have linked polymorphisms in the MTNR1A gene to reproductive recovery in certain sheep breeds, suggesting a role in seasonal breeding behaviors. Additionally, MTNR1A has been implicated in the regulation of the estrous cycle in Tibetan sheep. Given its role in reproductive physiology and circadian regulation, MTNR1A is a potential target for interventions aimed at reproductive disorders and sleep disturbances.

    What is the role of MTNR1A in the context of circadian rhythms? Dec 13 2022

    chat Patrick Liam (Creative Biolabs Scientific Support)

    MTNR1A encodes for a receptor of melatonin, a hormone that regulates circadian rhythms. Disruptions in MTNR1A can lead to alterations in sleep patterns and circadian behaviors. Dec 13 2022

    How does MTNR1A relate to reproductive functions? Jul 11 2020

    chat Patrick Liam (Creative Biolabs Scientific Support)

    MTNR1A is involved in the regulation of reproductive functions. It plays a role in the seasonal breeding behaviors of animals by influencing the secretion of reproductive hormones in response to changes in day length. Jul 11 2020

    Published Data

    Fig.1 Exploring the impact of MTNR1A gene suppression and the addition of Melatonin on the temporal dynamics of progesterone, estradiol, Inhibin β, and Activin B secretion.

    The varying levels of progesterone, estradiol, Inhibin β, and Activin B were assessed at 24, 48, and 72 hours within conditioned media originating from GCs subjected to pshRNA-3 transfection and/or Melatonin treatment. Distinct letters indicate notable dissimilarity (p<0.05, determined through one-way analysis of variance).

    Research Highlights

    Liao Y, et al. "Melatonin suppresses tumor proliferation and metastasis by targeting GATA2 in ." Journal of pineal research, 2023.
    Endometrial cancer (EC) is a reproductive system disease that primarily affects perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. However, the underlying cause of this cancer is not fully understood. Previous studies have identified melatonin (MT) as a potential therapeutic agent for EC, yet its precise mechanism of action remains unclear. In a recent study, it was discovered that GATA-binding protein 2 (GATA2) is expressed at low levels in EC and is regulated by MT. The study further revealed that MT can increase the expression of GATA2 through its receptor, MT receptor 1A (MTNR1A), while GATA2 can also promote the expression of MTNR1A by binding to its promoter region. Furthermore, both in vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrated that MT inhibits EC cell proliferation and metastasis by increasing the expression of GATA2. It was also observed that the protein kinase B (AKT) pathway is impacted by MT treatment. These findings highlight the significant role of MT and GATA2 in the development of EC.

    Skubis-Sikora A, et al. "Regulation of Adipose-Derived Stem Cell Activity by Melatonin Receptors in Terms ." Pharmaceuticals (Basel, Switzerland), 2023.
    Melatonin, a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, can significantly increase bone formation during regeneration through its receptors Mel1A and Mel1B. While human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) have the ability to differentiate into bone cells, their culturing process is hindered by loss of properties or low survival rates on scaffolds. A study was conducted to evaluate the impact of melatonin on ADSCs and their osteogenic potential. Results showed that a low concentration of melatonin (100 microM) improved cell viability without affecting their potential for bone tissue healing. These findings suggest that melatonin can be safely used in regenerative medicine for ADSC expansion.
