Differential Expression of High-Affinity Melatonin Receptors (MT1) in Normal and Malignant Human Breast Tissue

Abstract: The majority of the adenocarcinomas arising in Barrett esophagus manifest clinically at an advanced stage and have a poor prognosis. As a result of this poor prognosis, much attention has been directed toward the exploration of markers for neoplastic progression in Barrett esophagus. The objective of the present study was to determine the expression of beta-catenin by immunohistochemical analysis in 70 adenocarcinomas developed in Barrett esophagus and to examine its relationship to various prognostic factors … Show more

“…In both cases, MUPP1 is removed far from its potential membrane partners, thus impeding any interaction with them. Regulation of the MT 1 /MUPP1 interaction is likely to occur under these circumstances, since functional MT 1 expression has been shown in keratinocytes (49) and mammary tumors (50). Recently, MUPP1 has been shown to be robustly up-regulated by hypertonicity and to be important in the osmotic stress response in tight junctions of kidney cells (51).…”

“…For example, studies in the colon 38 carcinoma cell line identified both the nuclear receptor RZR/ROR (ROR·) and the cell membrane receptor MT2, but not MT1, as being responsible for the oncostatic effect of melatonin (41,52,68,69). In contrast, the MT1 receptor was responsible for the enhancement of the tumor suppressing effect of melatonin in MCF-7 breast cancer cells (39,53) and in S-91 murine melanoma cells (45). In uveal melanoma cell lines, melatonin and agonists for MT1 and MT2 inhibited melanoma growth, whereas the nuclear receptor was not involved in growth suppression (47).…”
