摘要： Oxidative stress plays a significant role in pathophysiology of cataracts and also known to affect the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathway. This well-documented pathway is involved in protecting against apoptosis-inducing insults, including oxidative stress. Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxy-tryptamine), the major secretory product of the pineal gland, was identified as a powerful free radical scavenger and a broad-spectrum antioxidant that defends against various oxidative stress-associated diseases. This study was conducted to determine whether melatonin could prevent hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative stress in human lens epithelial cells (HLECs) and to elucidate the molecular pathways involved in this protection. HLECs were subjected to various concentrations of H2O2 in the presence or absence of melatonin at different concentrations. Cell viability was monitored by a 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2, 5-diphenyl-tetrazoliumbromide (MTT) assay, and the apoptosis rate and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were measured by flow cytometry using annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide (PI) staining. The expression levels of HO-1, Nrf-2, CAT, and MDA were measured using Western blot analysis. Akt activation was also evaluated by Western blot analysis. The data from our study showed that cells pretreated with melatonin can reduce H2O2-induced intracellular ROS generation and thus protect HLECs from cell apoptosis. Furthermore, we found that melatonin is a potent activator of Akt in HLECs. Our findings suggest that in addition to functioning as a direct free radical scavenger, melatonin can elicit cellular signaling pathways that are protective against oxidative stress-induced cataracts.
