Abstract
Retinoids, analogues of vitamin A, can reverse premalignant lesions and prevent second primary tumors in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The effects of retinoids are mediated by retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and retinoid X receptors (RXRs), which act as ligand-activated transcription factors. The regulation of cell growth, differentiation and retinoid metabolism in normal, premalignant and malignant cells by retinoids is thought to be a result of their effects on gene expression. We investigated mRNA expression of RARs (alpha, beta, and gamma) and RXR-beta by means of RNase protection and related this to retinoic acid (RA)-induced growth inhibition and RA turnover in four HNSCC cell lines (UM-SCC-14C, UM-SCC-22A, UM-SCC-35 and VU-SCC-OE). An RA-resistant subline of UM-SCC-35 was generated by exposure to increasing concentrations of RA for 8 months (designated UM-SCC-35R). RA turnover was determined on the basis of decreasing RA levels in the cells and culture medium after exposure to 1 microM RA. We found that RAR-gamma mRNA expression was strongly correlated with RA-induced growth inhibition (p = 0.016, R = 0.92) and RA turnover (p = 0.041, R = 0.86). RAR-beta transcript levels were reduced in thr...Continue Reading
