Abstract

The effects of two retinoids, all-trans-retinoic acid (t-RA) and 13-cis-retinoic acid (c-RA) were studied in a model of osteoclast precursors. The model employs the U937 cell line induced to differentiate when incubated with 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and conditioned medium from stimulated human lymphocytes. t-RA and c-RA (10(-8) to 10(-6) M) inhibited cellular growth rates and increased surface adherence. However, t-RA and c-RA both partially blocked the differentiation induced by 1,25(OH)2D3 and lymphokines. Thus, retinoids alone promoted the differentiation of U937 cells but partially blocked the differentiation induced by a vitamin D metabolite and lymphokines. These results suggest that vitamins A and D may exert antagonistic effects on the recruitment of osteoclast precursors.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
