9-cis retinoic acid signaling: changing partners causes some excitement.
Reports on the role of retinoids in cell metabolism can be traced back almost a century, when the then-unknown vitamin A present in dietary lipids was found to be essential for normal growth {McCollum and Davis 1913; Osborne and Mendel 1913}. Since then, the profound effect of retinoic acid IRA}, a derivative of vitamin A, on development and differentiation has been documented in numerous publi...
متن کاملRetrograde Signaling Causes Excitement
Retrograde signaling is a powerful tool to shape synaptic transmission, typically inducing inhibition of transmitter release. A new study published in this issue of Neuron by Carta et al. (2014) now provides strong support for arachidonic acid as a potentiating retrograde messenger.
متن کامل9-cis-Retinoic Acid and 1,25-dihydroxy Vitamin D3 Improve the Differentiation of Neural Stem Cells into Oligodendrocytes through the Inhibition of the Notch and Wnt Signaling Pathways
Background: Differentiating oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) into oligodendrocytes could be improved by inhibiting signaling pathways such as Wnt and Notch. 9-cis-retinoic acid (9-cis-RA) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25[OH]2D3) can ameliorate oligodendrogenesis. We investigated whether they could increase oligodendrogenesis by inhibiting the Wnt and Notch signaling pathways.Methods: Co...
متن کاملIsomerization of all-trans-retinoic acid to 9-cis-retinoic acid.
The discovery of the biological activity of 9-cis-retinoic acid raises questions as to its mode of biosynthesis. A simple mechanism involves the direct isomerization of all-trans-retinoic acid to 9-cis-retinoic acid. It is shown here that bovine liver membranes, but not supernatant fractions, can isomerize all-trans-retinoic acid into 9-cis-retinoic acid and 13-cis-retinoic acid. The concentrat...
متن کاملPharmacokinetics of 9-cis-retinoic acid in the rhesus monkey.
9-cis-Retinoic acid is a naturally occurring biologically active retinoid capable of binding and transactivating both the retinoic acid receptors and the retinoid X receptors. A study was performed to characterize the pharmacokinetics 9-cis-retinoic acid following i.v. bolus administration in the nonhuman primate. Groups of three animals received i.v. bolus doses of 9-cis-retinoic acid of eithe...
