Abstract

Compelling evidence has indicated that imbalance between apoptosis and autophagy may be involved in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We aimed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of melatonin in the homeostasis of apoptosis and autophagy. One-hundred and forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were intraperitoneally injected with melatonin or vehicle 2 h after SAH induction. Western blotting and an immunofluorescent assay were performed to detect the expression of apoptosis- and autophagy-related proteins. The neuroprotective effect of melatonin attenuating SAH-induced neurological deficit and brain edema may be associated with the suppression of SAH-induced neuronal apoptosis and autophagy. Furthermore, melatonin inhibited the cleavage of mammalian sterile 20-like kinase 1 (MST1) protein by reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) content. These effects of melatonin on regulating the homeostasis between apoptosis and autophagy could be reversed by an MST1 agonist, chelerythrine, via enhancement of MST1 cleavage. In conclusion, exogenous melatonin alleviates SAH-induced early brain injury (EBI) by suppressing excessive neuronal apoptosis and autophagy. The underlying mechanism may, at least in part, involve the ROS-MST1 pathway.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 April 2018.
All research outputs
#14,324,809
of 23,041,514 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
#1,520
of 2,919 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#186,163
of 330,403 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
#61
of 119 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,041,514 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,919 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.7. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 330,403 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 119 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
