All-Trans Retinoic Acid Suppresses Stat3 Signaling during Skin Carcinogenesis

All-trans retinoic acid suppresses Stat3 signaling during skin carcinogenesis.

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin is the most clinically aggressive form of nonmelanoma skin cancer. We have determined the effects of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), a naturally occurring chemopreventive retinoid, on signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) signaling during the development of skin SCC. Stat3 is a transcription factor that plays a critical role in cell...

All-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...

These effects have become a therapeutic objective in human cancers. In addition to these functions, ...
