Endometrial dysfunction is an important factor for implantation failure.The function of the endometrium is regulated by multiple factors like sex hormones and circadian rhythms.Endome-trial stromal cells (ESCs) are a major cellular component in the endometrium,which is essential for proper physiological activities of the endometrium and the establishment of pregnancy.Mela-tonin,as a circadian-controlled hormone,plays beneficial roles in the regulation of reproductive processes.MT1,a melatonin receptor,can regulate cell proliferation and apoptosis.Whether melatonin-MT1 signal affects biological function of ESCs remains unknown.Here,we showed that MT1 was expressed in human ESCs (hESCs),which could be regulated by estrogen and pro-gesterone.MT1 knockdown inhibited proliferative activity and promoted apoptosis of hESCs by activating caspase-3 and upregulating the Bax/Bcl2 ratio.Melatonin could reverse the effect of MT1 knockdown on proliferative activity and apoptosis of hESCs.Melatonin could promote proliferative activity of hESCs via the JNK/P38 signal pathway and repress the apoptosis of hESCs via the JNK signal pathway.Moreover,in vivo experiments showed that MT1 expression was decreased in endometrial cells from mice with disrupted circadian rhythm,accompanied by increased apopto-sis and suppressed proliferative activity,which could be alleviated by administration of melatonin.These results showed the regulatory effect of melatonin-MT1 signal on biological behaviors of ESCs,which might provide a novel therapeutic strategy for endometrial dysfunction induced by disrupted circadian rhythm.
