چکیده

مقدمه: سرطان پستان، یکی از مشکلات سلامت زنان است که باعث ایجاد آسیب های جدی جسمی، روانی و اقتصادی برای بیمار و خانواده وی می شود. داروهای مورد استفاده در درمان با مکانیزم های از رشد سرطان پستان ممانعت می‌کنند. پروتئین های متعددی از جمله ملاتونین، در اجرای این مکانیزم ها نقش دارند. به همین دلیل شناخت مکانیزم های اجرایی، ژن های مرتبط و آشنایی با تازه های ملاتونین و فوائد آن در سرطان پستان، میتواند به طراحی روش های جدید و کارآمد مولکولی در کنترل و درمان سرطان پستان کمک کند. مطالعه حاضر با هدف مروری بر مکانیزم های شناخته شده توسط ملاتونین در درمان سرطان پستان تاکنون انجام شد..
روش کار: به منظور بازیابی مقالات مورد بررسی، جستجو از پایگاه های اطلاعاتی معتبر خارجی و داخلی صورت گرفت. برای تنظیم فرمول جستجو ابتدا کلید واژه های اصلی مشخص، سپس اصطلاحات معادل شناسایی و با استفاده از عملگرهای مناسب، فرمول مورد نظر تدوین شد. نتایج به دست آمده غربالگری و مقالات مورد نظر انتخاب شد. بر این اساس در نهایت 55 مقاله در مورد بیولوژی مولکولی سرطان پستان و مکانیزم عمل ملاتونین، انتخاب و مرور بر اساس آن ها انجام شد.
یافته ها: دامنه عملکرد وسیع ملاتونین در سرطان پستان، شامل القاء آپوپتوز، مهار تلومراز، مهار فاکتورهای رشد اپیدرمی در سلول های سرطانی، مهار چرخه سلولی، تحریک سیستم ایمنی برای تخریب سلول های سرطانی، ترمیم DNA تخریب شده، تنظیم ریتم روزانه و فصلی و مهار آنژیوژنز می باشد. نقش ملاتونین به عنوان عامل انکواستاتیک و انکوسیتوتوکسیک، منجر به باور کاربرد ملاتونین به عنوان یک عامل مکمل در درمان سرطان پستان می شود.
نتیجه گیری: سلامت بودن ملاتونین همراه با سودمندی های آن، ملاتونین را به عنوان یک کاندید مناسب در بهبود روش های درمانی برای بیماران سرطان پستان معرفی می کند.

چکیده [English]

Introduction: Breast cancer is always one of the most important difficulties in women's health that causes serious physical، mental and economical harms for the patient and her family. Nowadays, molecular therapies have been considered by the researchers. Used drugs act through different molecular mechanisms and prevents from breast cancer developing; a lot of proteins play a role in these mechanisms including melatonin has a specific role. For this reason, recognizing melatonin functions and executive mechanisms, related genes and orientation with melatonin news and also its benefits in breast cancer will help us to design new and efficient molecular methods in treatment and management of breast cancer. This study was performed with the aim to review recognized mechanisms by melatonin in breast cancer treatment till now.
Methods: To open access the articles, we searched from valid internal and external databases. For research formula, at first, we determine main key words, then equivalent terms were identified, and using appropriate operators, the formula was developed. The results were screened and the relevant articles were selected. Finally, 55 articles about breast cancer molecular biology and Melatonin function mechanism were selected and based on them, the review was done. 
Results: The wide function domain of Melatonin in breast cancer includes induction of apoptosis، telomerase and inhibition of epidermal growth factor bridle in breast cancer, cell cycle inhibition, stimulation of immune system to destroy cancer cells, repair of damaged DNA, the regulation of daily and seasonal rhythm and also angiogenesis inhibition. The role of melatonin as an oncostatics and oncocytotoxic factor leads to believe melatonin application as a supplement factor in breast cancer treatment.
Conclusions: The safety of Melatonin along with its benefits introduces it as a suitable candidate to improve treatment methods for breast cancer patients.
