The truncated form of retinoid X receptor-alpha is found in cancer. Here, the authors show that this mutant receptor promotes colorectal tumorigenesis by activation of NF-κB in myeloid cells, leading to subsequent IL-6-induced STAT3 activation in ...

A shift in the Ligand Responsiveness of Thyroid Hormone Receptor α Induced by Heterodimerization with Retinoid X Receptor α [PDF]
Thyroid hormone (T3) receptors (T3Rs) are ligand-modulated transcription factors that bind to thyroid hormone response elements (T3REs) and mediate either positive or negative transcriptional regulation of target genes. In addition, in response to ligand binding, T3Rs can interfere with AP-1 activity and thereby inhibit transcription of AP-1-responsive

The transcription factor retinoid X receptor-alpha (RXRα) can also form homotetramers. Here the authors show that the anti-cancer agent K-80003 selectively inhibits the nongenomic action of N-terminally-cleaved RXRα in tumour cells by stabilizing its ...

Effect of Retinoid Status on the Messenger Ribonucleic Acid Expression of Nuclear Retinoid Receptors α, β, and γ, and Retinoid X Receptors α, β, and γ in the Mouse Testis1 [PDF]
The testicular gene expression of the retinoic acid receptors, RAR alpha, -beta, and -gamma, was studied in normal mice and in vitamin A-deficient mice after the administration of all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA). All three types of RARs were expressed in normal and/or vitamin A-deficient testes.

Fenofibrate, an agonist of PPAR-alpha, in doses above 25 μM, inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in Ishikawa endometrial cancer cells. We show that these effects are potentiated by retinoic acid, an agonist of the retinoid-X-receptor.

Background The human pregnane X receptor (hPXR) is an orphan nuclear receptor that induces transcription of response elements present in steroid-inducible cytochrome P-450 gene promoters. This activation requires the participation of retinoid X receptors
