Abstract

All-trans retinoic acid (RA) can be catabolized to polar metabolites by microsomal P450s (P450). The aim of this study was to confirm if retinoic acid 4-hydroxylase (CYP26) is a P450 induced by RA and to investigate the role of cellular RA binding proteins (CRABPs), using a slow catabolizer, AMC-HN-4, and a rapid catabolizer, AMC-HN-6. Also, we analyzed the effect of RA catabolism on cell proliferation of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in vitro and in vivo. Both cell lines weakly expressed CYP26 and CRABPs, but RA induced CYP26 only in AMC-HN-6. The sensitivity to RA was variable by the amount of CYP26, and the rapid catabolism by CYP26 made AMC-HN-6 resistant to RA in vitro. In addition, The RA had a stronger effect on the inhibition of tumor growth of AMC-HN-4 than that of AMC-HN-6 in vivo. Conclusively, the CYP26 activity might be one essential factor for the RA sensitivity, but in cells showing induction of CYP26, the RA sensitivity is inversely related to the rate of RA catabolism.
