All-trans retinoic acid modulates microvascular endothelial cell hemostatic properties.

چکیده
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is an anti-tumor agent capable of controlling the hypercoagulable state associated with malignancy. Among hemostasis-regulating functions, ATRA modulates the procoagulant and fibrinolytic properties of endothelial cells (EC) from large vessels (HUVEC). In this study we investigated whether ATRA may affect the same activities of EC derived from microvessels (HMEC-1 cell line). DESIGN AND METHODS We studied the effects of ATRA on procoagulant (i.e. tissue factor, TF), fibrinolytic (i.e. tissue plasminogen activator and inhibitor, t-PA and PAI-1) and anticoagulant (i.e. thrombomodulin, TM) properties of HMEC-1, compared to HUVEC. The type of retinoic acid receptor (RAR) possibly involved was identified by using synthetic retinoid selective agonists or antagonists for RAR alpha, beta or gamma. The study was conducted with or without tumor necrosis factor (TNF)alpha to induce the expression of some endothelial hemostatic properties. RESULTS ATRA significantly inhibited TNFalpha-induced TF expression in HMEC-1 as well as HUVEC. ATRA increased t-PA antigen without significantly affecting PAI-1 expression, and counteracted the TNFalpha-induced t-PA decrease in both types of EC. Accordingly, t-PA activity was significantly increased by ATRA, even in the presence of TNFalpha. Finally, ATRA upregulated TM, and prevented TNFalpha-induced TM downregulation. The study with selective RARs agonists and antagonists indicated that RARalpha played a major role in t-PA and TM modulation, whereas all three receptors were involved in TF downregulation. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS This study provides the first evidence that ATRA increases antithrombotic potential also in microvascular EC, a very relevant compartment for tumor- and/or antitumor therapy-associated vascular complications.

Introduction & Objective: All-trans retinoic acid, a derivative of retinoids, is widely used to in-duce prolifferation, differentiation and apoptosis in normal, precancareous and cancerous cells. Cisplatin, an effective drug for cancer treatment, induces apoptosis via cross-linking to DNA. Previous studies on ovarian and melanoma cancer cells have showed synergistic ef-fects of cisplatin and ...

The effect of bilateral intrahippocampal injection of all–trans retinoic acid on spatial learning in adult male rats.
Introduction: Previous studies have shown that vitamin A and its derivatives such as retinoid and all-trans retinoic acid have a crucial role in memory, learning and synaptic plasticity. The receptors of vitamin A are seen in different parts of the brain such as hippocampus, where vitamin A has an important role in learning. In this study, the effect of intrahippocampal (CA1) injection of al...
