In this study, we examined effects of retinol deficiency and three retinoids, all-trans-retinoic acid, 13-cis-retinoic acid, and etretin, the aromatic derivative of retinoic acid on nuclear retinoic acid receptor isoforms alpha, beta, and gamma mRNA in ...

NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase is regulated by all-trans retinoic acid and by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in human acute myeloid leukemia cells. [PDF]
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines can be driven to differentiate to monocyte-like cells by 1,25- dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D) and to granulocyte-like cells by all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA).

Antagonism between retinoic acid receptors. [PDF]
In the developing mouse, retinoic acid receptors (RARs) beta and gamma 1 are expressed in characteristic spatiotemporal patterns which are correlated with different developmental fates of the respective tissues. Understanding the cues that regulate the expression of the various RARs may therefore provide insights into the process of tissue ...

Thyroid hormone regulation of gene expression in primary cerebrocortical cells: role of thyroid hormone receptor subtypes and interactions with retinoic acid and glucocorticoids. [PDF]
The effects of thyroid hormone on brain development and function are largely mediated by the binding of 3,5,3'-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3) to its nuclear receptors (TR) to regulate positively or negatively gene expression.

Cloning retinoid and peroxisome proliferator-activated nuclear receptors of the Pacific oyster and in silico binding to environmental chemicals. [PDF]
Disruption of nuclear receptors, a transcription factor superfamily regulating gene expression in animals, is one proposed mechanism through which pollution causes effects in aquatic invertebrates.

Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 modulates retinoic acid-induced neuronal differentiation of murine embryonic stem cells. [PDF]
Dominant mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene are the most prevalent cause of Parkinson's disease, however, little is known about the biological function of LRRK2 protein.

Induction of lysosomal phospholipase A2 through the retinoid X receptor in THP-1 cells
An acidic phospholipase A2 (LPLA2) was recently purified and cloned. THP-1 cells were used to characterize the gene induction of LPLA2. THP-1 cells were stimulated with several differentiation agents.

A Retinoic Acid Receptor-Specific Element Controls the Retinoic Acid Receptor-β Promoter [PDF]
The morphogen retinoic acid (RA) regulates gene transcription by interacting with specific nuclear receptors that recognize DNA sequences near responsive promoters. While much has recently been learned about the nuclear receptor proteins, little is known about the genes that are directly regulated by RA and their cis-acting response elements recognized
