Retinoids regulate the formation and degradation of gap junctions in androgen-responsive human prostate cancer cells. [PDF]
The retinoids, the natural or synthetic derivatives of Vitamin A (retinol), are essential for the normal development of prostate and have been shown to modulate prostate cancer progression in vivo as well as to modulate growth of several prostate cancer ...

Microbial Production of Bioactive Retinoic Acid Using Metabolically Engineered Escherichia coli
Microbial production of bioactive retinoids, including retinol and retinyl esters, has been successfully reported. Previously, there are no reports on the microbial biosynthesis of retinoic acid.

Despite recent advances in the treatment of human colon cancer, the chemotherapeutic efficacy against colon cancer is still unsatisfactory. The complexity in colorectal cancer treatment leads to new research in combination therapy to overcome multidrug ...

Neuroblastoma is a pediatric tumour that accounts for more than 15% of cancer-related deaths in children. High-risk tumours are often difficult to treat, and patients’ survival chances are less than 50%. Retinoic acid treatment is part of the maintenance

CRABP proteins – relatives or homonyms?
Retinoic acid being the most active metabolite of vitamin A (retinol) regulates the wide spectrum of physiological processes including embryonic development, development of immune response, hematopoiesis, glucose and lipids metabolism, etc. Retinoic acid

Foxp3+ regulatory T (T reg) cells play a key role in controlling immune pathological re actions. Many develop their regulatory activity in the thymus, but there is also evidence for development of Foxp3+ T reg cells from naive precursors in the periphery.

Binding of 9-cis-retinoic acid and all-trans-retinoic acid to retinoic acid receptors alpha, beta, and gamma. Retinoic acid receptor gamma binds all-trans-retinoic acid preferentially over 9-cis-retinoic acid [PDF]
Both 9-cis-retinoic acid (RA) and all-trans-RA (t-RA) compete for [3H]9-cis-RA binding to RA receptors (RAR alpha, beta, and gamma) in nucleosol fractions from transiently transfected COS-1 cells with IC50 values of approximately 12 and 5 nM, respectively.

Antiepileptogenic Effect of Retinoic Acid
Retinoic acid, a metabolite of vitamin A, acts through either genomic or nongenomic actions. The genomic action of retinoids exerts effects on gene transcription through interaction with retinoid receptors such as retinoic acid receptors (RARα, β, and γ) and retinoid X receptors (RXRα, β, and γ) that are primarily concentrated in the amygdala, pre ...

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble essential nutrient obtained from plant- and animal-based sources that has roles in growth, vision, and metabolism. Vitamin A circulates mainly as retinol bound to retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4), and is delivered to tissues ...
