Beta-carotene Reduces Body Adiposity of Mice Via BCMO1 [PDF]

, 2011
Evidence from cell culture studies indicates that ß-carotene-(BC)-derived apocarotenoid signaling molecules can modulate the activities of nuclear receptors that regulate many aspects of adipocyte physiology.

Induction of lysosomal phospholipase A2 through the retinoid X receptor in THP-1 cells

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
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.

Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 modulates retinoic acid-induced neuronal differentiation of murine embryonic stem cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
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.

In Vivo Imaging of Retinoic Acid Receptor Activity using a Sodium/Iodide Symporter and Luciferase Dual Imaging Reporter Gene

Molecular Imaging, 2004
Retinoic acids are natural derivatives of vitamin A, and play important roles in modulating tumor cell growth by regulating differentiation, thus suggesting the potential use of these derivatives in cancer therapy and prevention.

Exploitation of the vitamin A/retinoic acid axis depletes ALDH1-positive cancer stem cells and re-sensitises resistant non-small cell lung cancer cells to cisplatin

Translational Oncology, 2021
Despite advances in personalised medicine and the emerging role of immune checkpoints in directing treatment decisions in subsets of lung cancer patients, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains the most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide.

Atypical Rearrangements in APL-Like Acute Myeloid Leukemias: Molecular Characterization and Prognosis

Frontiers in Oncology, 2022
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) accounts for 10–15% of newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemias (AML) and is typically caused by the fusion of promyelocytic leukemia with retinoic acid receptor α (RARA) gene.

1,25(OH)2 vitamin D3, and retinoic acid antagonize endothelin-stimulated hypertrophy of neonatal rat cardiac myocytes.

, 1996
1,25 (OH)(2) Vitamin D-3 (VD3) and retinoic acid (RA) function as ligands for nuclear receptors which regulate transcription, Though the cardiovascular system is not thought to represent a classical target for these ligands, it is clear that both cardiac

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 ...
