In <i>Paeonia ostii</i>, PS-NPs could be uptood by roots, transported and accumulated in stems and leaves, and induced oxidative stress and negatively affected plant growth. Exogenous melatonin application has for the first time shown to reduce the cell wall porosity to prevent PS-NPs from entering the cells <i>via</i> inhibiting the expression of genes associated with expansins, ultimately decreasd PS-NPs accumulation. And exogenous melatonin also activated the antioxidant system to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) and alleviated the adverse impacts of PS-NPs on plant growth. Moreover, increasing endogenous melatonin by overexpressing <i>N</i>-acetylserotonin-<i>O</i>-methyltransferase gene obtained the similar results as mentioned above. And the transgenic plants uptook and accumulated relatively lower levels of PS-NPs by reducing the cell wall porosity, and induced lower ROS accumulation by activating the antioxidant system. Collectively, these results suggested that melatonin could defend against the oxidative stress caused by PS-NPs <i>via</i> preventing their uptake and activating the antioxidant system in <i>P. ostii</i>, which highlighted that melatonin can be used to protect plants in the nanoplastic-polluted environments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":198,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pineal Research","volume":"78 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2026-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147275289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Melatonin (MLT) has a strong ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation, and plays a vital role in the treatment of OA. However, the role and mechanism of MLT in diabetic OA are still unclear. This study aimed to confirm that diabetes aggravates OA cartilage degeneration and to explore the specific mechanism by which MLT inhibits cell pyroptosis and alleviates OA. In this study, a model of OA combined with type 2 diabetes was established, and it was found that hyperglycemia would exacerbate the degradation of OA cartilage tissue. Secondly, we investigated the effect of MLT on OA under hyperglycemic conditions and the underlying molecular mechanisms in vivo and in vitro experiments. The results show that MLT inhibits the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in chondrocytes by activating PKG to mediate the Nrf2/HO-1 antioxidant defense system, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory, anti-pyroptosis, and anti-degradation effects on the cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM). Further verification revealed that silencing PKG or inhibiting Nrf2 would partially reduce the protective effect of MLT. MLT can also reduce the pain sensitivity of rats, decrease the degree of subchondral bone remodeling, and improve the microstructure of the bone. This suggests that MLT therapy may be a promising new approach for treating OA, particularly in patients with diabetes.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":198,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pineal Research","volume":"78 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2026-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146211668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a C57BL/6 J mouse model of HSD and IR injury, we employed a multi-omics approach to evaluate MLT's therapeutic effects. Results demonstrated that both oral and intraperitoneal administration of MLT significantly mitigated HSD and WAI-induced damage to renal and intestinal tissues while restoring expression of intestinal tight junction proteins and mucin-2 (MUC2), which is the main intestinal mucin forming the mucus barrier. Further investigations revealed that MLT showed sex-dependent associations with the gut microbiota–metabolite axis. Under HSD conditions, it primarily regulates microbial balance via the tryptophan metabolic pathway, whereas post-IR exposure, its regulation shifts toward specific metabolites. Additionally, MLT alleviates cognitive impairment.
