Endogenous retinoic acid activity in principal cells and intercalated cells of mouse collecting duct system.

PLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundRetinoic acid is the bioactive derivative of vitamin A, which plays an indispensible role in kidney development by activating retinoic acid receptors.

Retinoids regulate the formation and degradation of gap junctions in androgen-responsive human prostate cancer cells.

PLoS ONE, 2012
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 ...

13-cis-retinoic acid is an endogenous compound in human serum.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1990
The occurrence of 13-cis-retinoic acid as an endogenous component in human serum has been confirmed by cochromatography with standards in both normal-phase and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) system, by the lambda max of its ...

Detection and mode of action of retinoids on ovarian development in the mud crab, Scylla serrata

International Journal of Aquatic Biology, 2019
In the current study, the retinoic acid isomers such as 9-cis retinoic acid and all-trans retinoic acid were detected in the mature ovaries of mud crabs, Scylla serrata using HPLC analysis.

In vivo biosynthesis of retinoic acid from beta-carotene involves and excentric cleavage pathway in ferret intestine

Journal of Lipid Research, 1996
This study was done to determine whether retinoic acid can be produced by excentric cleavage of beta-carotene in vivo. By using an inhibitor of retinaldehyde oxidation, citral, either retinaldehyde or beta-carotene was incorporated in a micellar solution

Potential Therapeutic Effect of All-Trans Retinoic Acid on Atherosclerosis

Biomolecules, 2022
Atherosclerosis is a major risk factor for myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke, which are the leading cause of death worldwide. All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is a natural derivative of essential vitamin A.

TNF receptor–related factor 3 inactivation promotes the development of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma through NF‐κB‐inducing kinase–mediated hepatocyte transdifferentiation

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a deadly but poorly understood disease, and its treatment options are very limited. The aim of this study was to identify the molecular drivers of ICC and search for therapeutic targets.

Gut microbiota–derived short‐chain fatty acids regulate group 3 innate lymphoid cells in HCC

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) are essential for host defense against infection and tissue homeostasis. However, their role in the development of HCC has not been adequately confirmed. In this study, we investigated the immunomodulatory role of short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) derived from intestinal microbiota in ILC3

A Role for All-Trans-Retinoic Acid in the Early Steps of Lymphatic Vasculature Development [PDF]

, 2010
The molecular mechanisms that regulate the earliest steps of lymphatic vascular system development are unknown. To identify regulators of lymphatic competence and commitment, we used an in vitro vascular assay with mouse embryonic stem cell-derived ...
