Background: Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) has been reported to be strongly correlated with the occurrence of erectile dysfunction (ED), but the mechanisms are not fully understood. Moreover, whether melatonin could be a potential treatment of HHcy-induced ED needs to be elucidated. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of melatonin on HHcy-induced ED and the potential mechanisms via modulating oxidative stress and apoptosis. Methods: The Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat model of HHcy was induced by 7% methionine (Met)-rich diets. 36 male SD rats were randomly distributed into 3 groups (n = 12 per group): control group, 7% Met group, and 7% Met thorn melatonin (Mel; 10 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection) treatment group. After 4 weeks, the erectile function of all rats was evaluated by electrical stimulation of the cavernous nerve. Histologic and molecular alterations of the corpus cavernosum were also analyzed by immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Western blotting, and polymerase chain reaction. Outcomes: HHcy-induced ED rat models were successfully established, and Mel could preserve erectile function mainly through inhibiting oxidative stress via the Erk1/2/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway and suppression of apoptosis. Results: Erectile function was significantly reduced in the rats with HHcy compared with that in the control group and was ameliorated in the HHcy rats treated with Mel. Compared with the control group, the rats in the HHcy group showed the following: (1) higher levels of total plasma homocysteine; (2) fewer neuronal nitric oxide synthase-positive cells in the corpus cavernous; (3) higher levels of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde, higher expression levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase, and lower activities of superoxide dismutase, indicating an overactivated oxidative stress; (4) lower expression levels of Erk1/2/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway components; and (5) higher levels of apoptosis, as determined by the expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2, and caspase 3. Mel treatment improved the erectile response, as well as histologic and molecular alterations. Clinical Translation: Our study on a rodent model of HHcy provided evidence that Mel could be a potential therapeutic method for HHcy-related ED. Conclusions: Mel treatment improves erectile function in rats with HHcy probably by potential antioxidative stress activity. This finding provides evidence for a potential new therapy for HHcy-induced ED. Copyright (C) 2019, International Society for Sexual Medicine. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
