Retinoic acid binding protein in human and experimental pancreatic carcinomas in hamsters.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cytoplasmic retinoic acid binding protein (cRABP) is present in human fetal pancreas and becomes nondetectable in the normal adult pancreas. The binding protein for retinoic acid becomes apparent again in pancreatic cancer. Similar fluctuations in the content of cRABP occur in the hamster. The binding protein is undetectable in the normal adult hamster pancreas, while it was detected in several transplantable adenocarcinomas in the Syrian golden hamster.

Cytosolic retinoic acid binding protein in the human pancreas.
Cytosolic retinoic acid receptor in carcinoma, chronic pancreatitis, and normal pancreatic tissue were examined using sucrose density gradient centrifugation, isoelectric focussing on agarose gel and saturation analysis. Thirteen patients were studied. Cytosolic retinoic acid binding protein (cRABP) was detected in all the samples with chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic carcinoma, but not in t...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Simulation and Free Energy Studies on the Interaction of Salicylic Acid with Human Serum Albumin (HSA)
Human serum albumin (HSA) is the most abundant protein in the blood plasma. Molecular dynamics simulations of subdomain IIA of HSA and its complex with salicylic acid (SAL) were performed to investigate structural changes induced by the ligand binding. To estimate the binding affinity of SAL molecule to subdomains IB and IIA in HSA protein, binding free energies were calculated using the Molecu...
متن کاملEvaluation of Neurogenic Potential of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Cells a Time- and Concentration- Dependent Manner
Background: Retinoic acid as one of the most important regulators for cell differentiation was examined in this study for differentiation of human umbilical mesenchymal cells (hUCM). Methods: After isolation, hUCM were evaluated for mesenchymal stem cell properties by flow cytometry and alkaline phosphatase assay. Also, doubling time of the cells and their differentiation potential into adipoge...
متن کاملThe Effect of Retinoic Acid on Seminal Vesicle Epithelial Cell
Purpose: The seminal vesicles are androgen dependent exocrine glands producing protein-rich secretion. The retinoic acid has been implicated as a signaling molecule for the seminal vesicle development. In the present study, the effect of retinoic acid on seminal vesicle epithelial cell of neonatal mouse was investigated. Materials and Methods: Newborn male N-MRI mice were injected intraperiton...
متن کاملAnalysis of Promyelocytic Leukemia in Human Embryonic Carcinoma Stem Cells During Retinoic Acid-Induced Neural Differentiation
Background: Promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) is a tumor suppressor protein that is involved in myeloid cell differentiation in response to retinoic acid (RA). In addition, RA acts as a natural morphogen in neural development. Objectives: This study aimed to examine PML gene expression in different stages of in vitro neural differentiation of NT2 cells, and to investigate the possible role o...
