Retinoic Acid and Its Derivatives in Skin [PDF]
Cells, 2020 The retinoids are a group of compounds including vitamin A and its active metabolite all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA). Retinoids regulate a variety of physiological functions in multiple organ systems, are essential for normal immune competence, and are ...

The potential of retinoic acid receptors as prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets in gastric cancer [PDF]
Frontiers in OncologyBackgroundGastric cancer is a heterogeneous collection of tumors characterized by low survival rates. All-trans retinoic acid (retinoic-acid) is a clinically useful therapeutic agent belonging to the chemical family of retinoids, which consists of both ...

Retinoic Acid Receptor-Related Orphan Receptors: Critical Roles in Tumorigenesis
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptors (RORs) include RORα (NR1F1), RORβ (NR1F2), and RORγ (NR1F3). These receptors are reported to activate transcription through ligand-dependent interactions with co-regulators and are involved in the ...

The roles of retinoic acid and retinoic acid receptors in inducing epigenetic changes. [PDF]
Subcell Biochem, 2014 Epigenetics is "the branch of biology which studies the causal interactions between genes and their products which bring the phenotype into being" as defined by Conrad Waddington in 1942 in a discussion of the mechanisms of cell differentiation.

The negative side of retinoic acid receptors. [PDF]
Neurotoxicol Teratol, 2011 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".

Retinoic Acid Receptors and Cancer [PDF]
The Journal of Nutrition, 2002 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.
