Previous studies have shown that melatonin (MEL) signaling is involved in the modulation of photoreceptor viability during aging. Recent work by our laboratory suggested that MEL may protect cones by modulating the Fas/FasL-caspase-3 pathway. In this study, we first investigated the presence of MEL receptors (MT1 and MT2) in 661W cells, then whether MEL can prevent H2O2-induced cell death, and last, through which pathway MEL confers protection.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that melatonin (MEL) signaling is involved in the modulation of photoreceptor viability during aging. Recent work by our laboratory suggested that MEL may protect cones by modulating the Fas/FasL-caspase-3 pathway. In this study, we first investigated the presence of MEL receptors (MT1 and MT2) in 661W cells, then whether MEL can prevent H2O2-induced cell death, and last, through which pathway MEL confers protection.File in questo prodotto:
