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

Differential effects of steroids and retinoids on bovine myelopoiesis in vitro [PDF]
Pregnancy and parturition are associated with physiological changes caused by steroid hormones. Alterations in number, maturity, and function of polymorphonuclear leukocytes observed in dairy cows at parturition suggest a common causative relationship ...

Retinoic Acid Receptors and Cancer [PDF]
Retinoids have been shown to inhibit the growth of many human tumor cells. Although the exact molecular mechanism of retinoid-mediated growth suppression remains known, the importance of the retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and retinoid X receptors (RXRs) has been in established a number of tumor cell models.

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).

RXRα acts as a carrier for TR3 nuclear export in a 9-cis retinoic acid-dependent manner in gastric cancer cells [PDF]
Retinoid X receptor (RXR) plays a crucial role in the cross talk between retinoid receptors and other hormone receptors including the orphan receptor TR3, forming different heterodimers that transduce diverse steroid/thyroid hormone signaling.

The negative side of retinoic acid receptors [PDF]
This is a review of research that supports a hypothesis regarding early restriction of gene expression in the vertebrate embryo. We hypothesize that vertebrate retinoic acid receptors (RARs for several vertebrates but rars for zebrafish) are part of an embryonic, epigenetic switch whose default position, at the time of fertilization is "OFF".

Anti-tumor effect in human lung cancer by a combination treatment of novel histone deacetylase inhibitors: SL142 or SL325 and retinoic acids. [PDF]
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors arrest cancer cell growth and cause apoptosis with low toxicity thereby constituting a promising treatment for cancer.

Vitamin A affects flatfish development in a thyroid hormone signaling and metamorphic stage dependent manner [PDF]
Vitamin A (VA) and retinoid derivatives are known morphogens controlling vertebrate development. Despite the research effort conducted during the last decade, the precise mechanism of how VA induces post-natal bone changes, and particularly those ...
