Abstract

Most studies have reported an up-regulation of retinoic acid receptor (RAR) mRNA expression by all-trans retinoic acid (RA). We aimed to study the effect of RA on RAR protein levels in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. Incubation of these cells with 10(-6) M RA induced a rapid breakdown of both RARalpha and RARgamma in spite of the accumulation of their mRNAs. Proteasome specific inhibitors blocked the RA-induced breakdown of RARs. Furthermore, RA enhanced the formation of the complex between RARalpha and ubiquitin in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, suggesting the involvement of ubiquitin and proteasome in this reaction. Retinoid X receptor alpha (RXRalpha) was also decreased, albeit to a lesser extent, in RA-treated cells. Use of synthetic receptor agonists and antagonists clearly showed that the effect of the retinoid on the breakdown of the retinoid receptors is receptor-ligand agonist-dependent and blunted by the antagonist. An electrophoretic mobility shift assay, using nuclear extracts from RA-treated cells, showed that a reduction in complex formation with hormone response elements correlated with the reduction of RAR and RXR protein. These data suggest that RA induces the breakdown of RARs through a process i...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
