ER stress triggers an adaptive response called the unfolded protein response (UPR), which can either restore cellular homeostasis or induce cell death. Melatonin, a safe and multifunctional compound, shows promise in controlling ER stress and could be a valuable therapeutic agent for managing the UPR. By regulating ER and mitochondrial functions, melatonin helps maintain cellular homeostasis via reduction of oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. Melatonin can directly or indirectly interfere with ER-associated sensors and downstream targets of the UPR, impacting cell death, autophagy, inflammation, molecular repair, among others. Crucially, this review explores the mechanistic role of melatonin on ER stress in various diseases including liver damage, neurodegeneration, reproductive disorders, pulmonary disease, cardiomyopathy, insulin resistance, renal dysfunction, and cancer. Interestingly, while it alleviates the burden of ER stress in most pathological contexts, it can paradoxically stimulate ER stress in cancer cells, highlighting its intricate involvement in cellular homeostasis. With numerous successful studies using in vivo and in vitro models, the continuation of clinical trials is imperative to fully explore melatonin's therapeutic potential in these conditions.</p>","PeriodicalId":15220,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cellular Physiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141748277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Runx2-deficient embryos, skeletal development ceases at the cartilage anlage stage. These embryos die of respiratory failure upon birth and display a complete absence of bone and cartilage mineralization. Here, we identified Hakai, a type of E3 ubiquitin ligase as a potential Runx2 interacting partner through affinity pulldown-based proteomic approach. Subsequently, we observed that similar to Runx2, Hakai was downregulated in osteopenic ovariectomized rats, suggesting its involvement in bone formation. Consistent with this observation, Hakai overexpression significantly enhanced osteoblast differentiation in mesenchyme-like C3H10T1/2 as well as primary rat calvaria osteoblast (RCO) cells in vitro. Conversely, overexpression of a catalytically inactive Hakai mutant (C109A) exhibited minimal to no effect, whereas Hakai depletion markedly reduced endogenous Runx2 levels and impaired osteogenic differentiation in both C3H10T1/2 and RCOs. Mechanistically, Hakai physically interacts with Runx2 and enhances its protein turnover by rescuing it from Smad ubiquitination regulatory factor 2 (Smurf2)-mediated proteasome degradation. Wild-type Hakai but not Hakai-C109A inhibited Smurf2 protein levels through proteasome-mediated degradation. These findings underscore Hakai's functional role in bone formation, primarily through its positive modulation of Runx2 protein turnover by protecting it from Smurf2-mediated ubiquitin-proteasomal degradation. Collectively, our results demonstrate Hakai as a promising novel therapeutic target for osteoporosis.</p>","PeriodicalId":15220,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cellular Physiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141734158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In actuality, Hawaiʻi has low STEMM enrollment and therefore, low representation in STEMM. What primarily inhibits Hawaiʻi from having a strong STEMM workforce is the lack of education in STEMM, resources allocated to STEMM, and mentorship to succeed in STEMM. Other factors such as cultural values, high costs of living, and geographical barriers also contribute to Hawaiʻi's low STEMM enrollment. To combat these issues, I offer suggestions to encourage STEMM enrollment, such as directing funds toward after-school education. I also suggest combatting the lack of resources by providing more online opportunities for students and workers. As for Hawaiʻi's low mentorship, I suggest that more programs be created within communities and universities to create a platform for mentors and mentees to network.
