    Applications
    Melatonin receptor 1B (MTNR1B) is the second primary receptor for melatonin. Polymorphisms in the MTNR1B gene have been associated with elevated fasting glucose levels and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. This suggests that MTNR1B plays a role in glucose metabolism and insulin secretion. Furthermore, studies have shown interactions between MTNR1B polymorphisms and lifestyle interventions, indicating that certain genetic variants might influence the effectiveness of dietary or physical activity interventions on pregnancy outcomes. Given its influence on glucose metabolism, MTNR1B represents a potential therapeutic target for metabolic disorders, particularly type 2 diabetes.

    FAQ

    chat James (Verified Customer)

    How does MTNR1B influence glucose tolerance and insulin secretion? May 19 2021

    chat Patrick Liam (Creative Biolabs Scientific Support)

    MTNR1B is associated with glucose tolerance and insulin secretion. High endogenous melatonin levels, especially when combined with carbohydrate intake, can impair glucose tolerance, particularly in individuals carrying certain variants of the MTNR1B gene. May 19 2021

    chat Anthony (Verified Customer)

    Is there a link between MTNR1B and type 2 diabetes? Feb 20 2020

    chat Patrick Liam (Creative Biolabs Scientific Support)

    Yes, certain polymorphisms in the MTNR1B gene are associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. These variants can influence glucose kinetics and insulin secretion. Feb 20 2020

    Published Data

    Fig.1 The expression of the insulin gene was modulated by melatonin through its interaction with the MTNR1B receptor.

    Insulin release was assessed via reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), with statistical significance denoted by *P<0.05, **P<0.01, and ***P<0.001.

    Research Highlights

    Skubis-Sikora A, et al. "Regulation of Adipose-Derived Stem Cell Activity by Melatonin Receptors in Terms ." Pharmaceuticals (Basel, Switzerland), 2023.
    The hormone melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland and acts on Mel1A and Mel1B receptors. It has been identified to have a significant role in promoting osteogenesis during bone regeneration. Human mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue (ADSCs) have the ability to differentiate into osteoblast-like cells; however, their expansion in vitro is often limited due to decreased viability or loss of properties over time. A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of melatonin on ADSC characteristics, including its potential for osteogenic differentiation. Results showed that a 100 microM concentration of melatonin increased ADSC viability without changing its phenotype or inducing apoptosis. Furthermore, melatonin also enhanced the activity of certain osteogenesis-related genes. These findings suggest that melatonin can be safely used in regenerative medicine at low doses to improve ADSC viability without negatively impacting its osteogenic potential.

    Jansen EC, et al. "Early-to-mid pregnancy sleep and circadian markers in relation to birth outcomes: ." Chronobiology international, 2023.
    The study by researchers revealed interesting links between maternal sleep and circadian health during pregnancy, and their effect on pregnancy outcomes. Within a pregnancy cohort of 96 women, maternal leukocyte DNA methylation of circadian genes was examined. Results showed that higher methylation of certain CpG sites within BMAL1, PER1, and MTNR1B genes were associated with lower birthweight and head circumference. Additionally, longer sleep duration during early-to-mid pregnancy was related to higher birthweight. This suggests that epigenetic mechanisms may play a role in pregnancy outcomes and warrants further investigation.
