Melatonin: The smart molecule that differentially modulates autophagy in tumor and normal placental cells
2018-08-06
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Highlights</h4> H/R induces autophagy and Nrf2 in tumoral and primary trophoblast cells. Melatonin inhibits autophagy and Nrf2 under H/R, inducing BeWo cell death. Melatonin increases autophagy and Nrf2 under H/R conditions, promoting primary villous trophoblast cells survival. Hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) induces oxidative damage and apoptosis. These consequences activate autophagy, which degrades damaged cel...
