Objective: To investigate the effect of melatonin (MLT) on the proliferation and apoptosis of human multiple myeloma cell line RPMI 8226 and its possible mechanism.
Methods: RPMI 8226 cells were cultured in vitro, and different concentrations of MLT were treated on RPMI 8226 cells. The effects of MLT on RPMI 8226 cell proliferation were detected by CCK-8 assay and methylcellulose cloning assay, and the effects of MLT on cell apoptosis were detected by AnnexinV-FITC /PI, flow cytometry. Western blot was used to determine the expression of apoptosis and endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins in each group, and CCK-8 assay was used to determine the effect of MLT combined with bortezemib on the viability of RPMI 8226 cells.
Results: MLT inhibited the proliferation of RPMI 8226 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner (r=-0.9777，r=-0.9951). With the increase of MLT concentration, the number of clones decreased, the apoptosis of RPMI 8226 cells increased (P<0.05), the expression of anti-apoptotic protein XIAP decreased, the expression of apoptotic proteins Bax and Caspase3 increased, and the expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins increased. Compared with the control group, the survival of RPMI 8226 cells in the MLT and BTZ combined group significantly decreased (P<0.01).
Conclusion: MLT can inhibit the proliferation of RPMI 8226 cells, promote the apoptosis of RPMI 8226 cells, and enhance the anti-tumor effect of BTZ on RPMI 8226 cells. The mechanism may be related to endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Cyclization is a pivotal strategy for enhancing the drug-like characteristics of polypeptides. To develop potent and metabolically stable proteasome inhibitors, we generated a macrocyclic peptide skeleton using a straightforward and efficient cyclization strategy. Subsequent stability assessments confirmed the practicality of this approach.

P2X7 is an extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP)-gated cation channel that plays various roles in inflammation and immunity. P2X7 is present on peripheral blood monocytes, dendritic cells (DCs), and innate and adaptive lymphocytes. The anti-human P2X7 monoclonal antibody (mAb; clone L4), used for immunolabelling P2X7 or blocking P2X7 activity, is a murine IgG2 antibody, but its ability to mediate complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) is unknown.

Peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) is one of the Peroxiredoxin family members with only 1-Cys, using glutathione as the electron donor to reduce peroxides in cells. PRDX6 has been frequently studied and its expression was associated with poor prognosis in many tumors. However, the expression of PRDX6 in multiple myeloma (MM) and its relevance with MM remain unclear.

Multiple myeloma (MM) malignant plasma cells accumulate in the bone marrow (BM) where their interactions with the microenvironment promote disease progression and drug resistance. Previously, we have shown that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) (MM and normal donors- ND) derived extracellular matrix (ECM) affected MM cell lines differentially with a pro-MM effect attributed to MM-MSCs' ECM. Here we studied the composition of BM-MSC's ECM (ND versus MM) with focus on elastin (ELN).
