Isomerization 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 کاملNovel retinoic acid, 9-cis retinoic acid, in combination with all-trans retinoic acid is an effective inducer of differentiation of retinoic acid-resistant HL-60 cells.
Recent studies have shown that a high proportion of patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) achieve complete remission after treatment with all-trans retinoic acid (RA). Nevertheless, despite an initial good response, most patients that received continuous treatment with all-trans RA relapse and develop RA-resistant disease. The 9-cis RA is a high-affinity ligand for retinoid X recepto...
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 کاملQuantitative axial profiles of retinoic acid in the embryonic mouse spinal cord: 9-cis retinoic acid only detected after all-trans-retinoic acid levels are super-elevated experimentally.
Studies using bioassays in normal mice and gene activation in transgenic reporter mice have demonstrated peaks of retinoic acid receptor (RAR) signaling in the brachial and lumbar regions of the spinal cord. Recently, Solomin et al. (Solomin et al. [1998] Nature 395:398-402) detected a retinoid X receptor (RXR) signal in the same region of the developing spinal cord at a slightly later stage th...

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