Core Tip Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress plays an important role in tumor growth and resistance to treatment. Our previous studies have already shown that melatonin sensitizes the human hepatocellular carcinoma cell to ER stress-induced apoptosis and attenuates ER stress-induced doxorubicin resistance. In this study, we first identified that melatonin selectively blocked ER stress downstream activating transcription factor 6 (ATF-6) and then inhibited cyclooxygenase-2 expression, leading to enhanced liver cancer cell apoptosis under ER stress condition. Our findings indicate that melatonin as a novel selective ATF-6 inhibitor can sensitize human hepatoma cells to ER stress inducing apoptosis.
