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 کاملRecombinant human glutathione S-transferases catalyse enzymic isomerization of 13-cis-retinoic acid to all-trans-retinoic acid in vitro.
The steric conversion of 13-cis-retinoic acid (13-cRA) to all-trans-retinoic acid (t-RA) has been proposed as an activation mechanism for the observed therapeutic and teratogenic activities of 13-cRA. Here we have investigated the catalysis of isomerization of 13-cRA to t-RA by recombinant human glutathione S-transferases (GSTs). Substrate was incubated with GST in 0.1 M sodium phosphate buffer...
متن کامل9,13-Dicis-retinoic acid as an isomerization product of 9-cis-retinoic acid.
With great interest we have read the article by Marchetti et al. on oxidation and isomerization of retinoic acid (RA) isomers in vitro, which was published in this journal recently (1). However, there are misleading statements in that publication, which require clarification. For instance, more than the indicated “few studies” on the metabolism of 9-cis-RA exist. Among the literature not referr...
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...
