β,β-carotene 15,15'-monooxygenase and its substrate β-carotene modulate migration and invasion in colorectal carcinoma cells.
BACKGROUND β,β-Carotene 15,15'-monooxygenase (BCMO1) converts β-carotene to retinaldehyde. Increased β-carotene consumption is linked to antitumor effects. Retinoic acid reduces the invasiveness in cancer, through inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). In our studies of a mouse model that develops intestinal tumors after low dietary folate, we found reduced BCMO1 expression in normal p...
متن کاملExpression of -Carotene 15,15 Monooxygenase in Retina and RPE-Choroid
RESULTS. By RT-PCR, -CM mRNA was detected at a low level in mouse and monkey retina and in the RPE-choroid of the monkey but not of the mouse. Conversely, -CM mRNA was expressed at a low level in both human and bovine RPEchoroid, but not in the retina of either. RPE primary cultured cells of the monkey also showed -CM mRNA expression, although the three human lines did not. In addition, of nine...
متن کاملAltered expression of both β-carotene 15,15' monooxygenase and lecithin:retinol acyltransferase in obese Zucker rats.
Retinol and its active derivative retinoic acid have an important role in development, reproduction, immunity, and cell proliferation/differentiation. Obesity and dyslipidemia are risk factors for cardiovascular disease that may affect hepatic homeostasis. It is unclear whether the expression of retinol-related proteins is affected and influences the retinol status in obesity and dyslipidemia. ...
متن کاملCharacterization of human β,β-carotene-15,15'-monooxygenase (BCMO1) as a soluble monomeric enzyme.
The formal first step in in vitamin A metabolism is the conversion of its natural precursor β,β-carotene (C40) to retinaldehyde (C20). This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme β,β-carotene-15,15'-monooxygenase (BCMO1). BCMO1 has been cloned from several vertebrate species, including humans. However, knowledge about this protein's enzymatic and structural properties is scant. Here we expressed h...
متن کاملEffects of β-Carotene and Its Cleavage Products in Primary Pneumocyte Type II Cells
β-Carotene has been shown to increase the risk of developing lung cancer in smokers and asbestos workers in two large scale trails, the Beta-Carotene and Retinol Efficacy Trial (CARET) and the Alpha-Tocopherol Beta-carotene Cancer Prevention Trial (ATBC). Based on this observation, it was proposed that genotoxic oxidative breakdown products may cause this effect. In support of this assumption, ...
