Fetal Isoform of Human Retinoic Acid Receptor/3 Expressed in Small Cell Lung Cancer Lines 1
نویسندگان
چکیده
The retinoic acid receptor type IB (RARJ~) complementary DNA from a small cell tumor line was amplified, sequenced, and found to be homologous to the murine RAR~I1. Seventeen lung tumor lines were analyzed. Five of seven small cell lung carcinoma lines expressed RARI~I, but only one other line (epidermoid) expressed the isoform, and this was at trace levels. Two other epidermoid lines, as well as three adenocarcinoma, two adenosquamous, and two large cell-derived lines did not express RARI31. Nine adult human tissues, including lung, were analyzed, and in contrast to what has been reported for the mouse, undetectable or barely detectable levels were observed. On the other hand, a total of 13 different fetal tissues, at three different developmental stages, all expressed RARIB1. RARIB1 may be a master developmental gene in humans, and the remarkably specific association with small cell lung carcinoma suggests a molecular link between this type of cancer and development.

Backgrounds and Objectives: All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) which is a derivative of vitamin A, exert fundamental effects on regulation of cell growth, differenation and apoptosis. Recently, resistance to cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil developed in gastric adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. In this study, we investigated the combination treatment of ATRA with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil ...

Background: Lung carcinoma is a multiple type cancer comprising of small cell and non-small cell carcinomas (NSCLC). For therapeutic and diagnostic purposes, serum monoclonal antibodies have been produced against lung cancer. Objective: To charac-terize a murine monoclonal antibody (ME3D11) reactive with human NSCLC. Methods: A murine monoclonal antibody (ME3D11) reactive with human NSCLC was s...

Lung cancer is a very aggressive and most deadly cancer in both men and women. Lung cancer is divided into two types of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC is divided into 3 subgroups: adenocarcinoma (AC), squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC) and large cell carcinoma (LCC). Dopamine is involved in controlling motions, cognition, emotions, memory and reward mech...

Background: Retinoic acid plays an important role in lung development and differentiation, acting primarily via nuclear receptors encoded by the retinoic acid receptor(RAR ) gene. Because receptor isoforms RAR 2 and RAR 4 are repressed in human lung cancers, we investigated whether methylation of their promoter, P2, might lead to silencing of the RAR gene in human lung tumors and cell lines. Me...
متن کاملHigher potency of N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide than all-trans-retinoic acid in induction of apoptosis in non-small cell lung cancer cell lines.
Most human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines are refractory to all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA). Recently, N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide (4HPR) was found to induce apoptosis in various tumor cells. In this study, we compared and contrasted the effects of 4HPR and ATRA on the growth and apoptosis of 10 NSCLC cell lines and normal human bronchial epithelial (NHBE) cells. All of the canc...
