Retinol inhibits the growth of all-trans-retinoic acid-sensitive and all-trans-retinoic acid-resistant colon cancer cells through a retinoic acid receptor-independent mechanism.
Retinol (vitamin A) is thought to exert its effects through the actions of its metabolite, all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), on gene transcription mediated by retinoic acid receptors (RAR) and retinoic acid response elements (RARE). However, retinoic acid resistance limits the chemotherapeutic potential of ATRA. We examined the ability of retinol to inhibit the growth of ATRA-sensitive (HCT-15) a...
متن کاملAll-trans-retinoic acid: measurement
A quantitative determination of physiological levels of all-trans-retinoic acid (vitamin A acid) in human serum has been developed. A double-phase extraction of 3.5 ml of serum followed by a specific and sensitive high performance liquid chromatography procedure allowed measurement of levels down to 1 ng/ml. Serum concentrations in 37 fasting volunteers ranged from 2.7 to 4.2 ng/ml and fitted a...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of all-trans-retinoic acid from all-trans-retinol: catalysis of all-trans-retinol oxidation by human P-450 cytochromes.
Oxidative conversion of all-trans-retinol (t-ROH) to all-trans-retinal (t-RAL) is recognized as the rate-limiting step for biosynthesis of all-trans-retinoic acid from t-ROH in mammalian hepatic tissues. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of human cytochrome P-450 (CYP)-dependent monooxygenation in the conversion of t-ROH to t-RAL. Adult human liver microsomes (HLMS) were inc...

These effects have become a therapeutic objective in human cancers. In addition to these functions, ...
متن کاملAll Trans Retinoic Acid (ATRA) induced myositis.
A 5-year-old girl presented with fever, skin and mucosal bleeds, and pallor. Her hemoglobin was 3.6 g/dL, total white cell count 4.5×103/μL and platelet count 13×103/μL. Peripheral smear revealed 30% blasts, confirmed as APML on bone marrow examination. Cytogenetic analysis showed the typical translocation of t(15:17) with 77% of interphase cells expressing PML:RARA gene fusion. Child was start...
