Melatonin protects against ER stress/autophagy-induced apoptotic cell death by augmenting PrPC expression. Thus, melatonin-treated MSCs could be a potential cell-based therapeutic agent for ER stress-induced ischaemic diseases, and melatonin-induced PrPC might be a key molecule in ameliorating ER stress and autophagy.
