Potential role of nuclear receptor ligand all-trans retinoic acids in the treatment of fungal keratitis [PDF]

International Journal of Ophthalmology, 2015
Fungal keratitis (FK) is a worldwide visual impairment disease. This infectious fungus initiates the primary innate immune response and, later the adaptive immune response.

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.

Tumour–stroma interactions in an organotypic culture model of pancreatic cancer [PDF]

, 2011
PhDPancreatic cancer is characterised by an intense fibrotic, or desmoplastic, stroma, which contributes to tumour progression. Three-dimensional in vitro culture models incorporating this non-tumour component may more closely recapitulate the ...

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.

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.

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.

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

The quaternary architecture of RARβ–RXRα heterodimer facilitates domain–domain signal transmission

Nature Communications, 2017
Nuclear receptors (NR) are multidomain proteins, which makes their crystallization challenging. Here the authors present the crystal structure of the retinoic acid receptor β–retinoic X receptor α (RARβ–RXRα) heterodimer bound to DNA, ligands and ...
