Kruppel-like factor 2 suppresses mammary carcinoma growth by regulating retinoic acid signaling
The transcription factor Kruppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) displays anticarcinogenic activities but the mechanism that underlies this activity is unknown. We show here that KLF2 is markedly downregulated in human breast cancers and that its expression positively correlates with breast cancer patient survival. We show further that KLF2 suppresses tumor development by controlling the transcriptional a...
متن کاملReceptor and Cellular Retinoic Acid Acid: Proapoptotic Genes Are Targets for Retinoic Acid Suppression of Mammary Carcinoma Growth by Retinoic
Retinoic acid (RA) displays pronounced anticarcinogenic activities in several types of cancer. Whereas the mechanisms that underlie this activity remain incompletely understood, tumor suppression by RA is believed to emanate primarily from its ability to regulate transcription of multiple target genes. Here, we investigated molecular events through which RA inhibits the growth of MCF-7 mammary ...
متن کاملBinding Protein-II Mammary Carcinoma Suppression by Cellular Retinoic Acid
Retinoic acid (RA) modulates cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, and is used in chemotherapy and chemoprevention in several human cancers. RA exerts its pleiotropic activities by activating the nuclear receptors, retinoic acid receptor (RAR), which, in turn, regulate transcription of multiple target genes. In cells, RA also associates with cellular RA-binding proteins [cellular ...
متن کاملCadmium induces retinoic acid signaling by regulating retinoic acid metabolic gene expression.
The transition metal cadmium is an environmental teratogen. In addition, cadmium and retinoic acid can act synergistically to induce forelimb malformations. The molecular mechanism underlying the teratogenicity of cadmium and the synergistic effect with retinoic acid has not been addressed. An evolutionarily conserved gene, beta,beta-carotene 15,15'-monooxygenase (BCMO), which is involved in re...
متن کاملSuppression of mammary carcinoma cell growth by retinoic acid: the cell cycle control gene Btg2 is a direct target for retinoic acid receptor signaling.
The anticarcinogenic activities of retinoic acid (RA) are believed to be mediated by the nuclear RA receptor (RAR) and by the RA-binding protein cellular RA-binding protein-II (CRABP-II). In MCF-7 mammary carcinoma cells, growth inhibition by RA entails an early cell cycle arrest followed by induction of apoptosis. Here, we aimed to obtain insights into the initial cell cycle response. We show ...
