Mechanism of all trans-retinoic acid and glucocorticoid regulation of surfactant protein mRNA.

چکیده
The surfactant proteins (SPs) are required for the normal function of pulmonary surfactant, a lipoprotein substance that prevents alveolar collapse at end expiration. We characterized the effects of cortisol and all trans-retinoic acid (RA) on SP-A and SP-B gene expression in H441 cells, a human pulmonary adenocarcinoma cell line. Cortisol, at 10-6M, caused a significant inhibition of SP-A mRNA to levels that were 60-70% of controls and a five- to sixfold increase in the levels of SP-B mRNA. RA alone (10-6M) had no effect on SP-A mRNA levels and modestly reduced the inhibitory effect of cortisol. RA alone and the combination of cortisol and RA both significantly increased SP-B mRNA levels. RA had no effect on the rate of SP-A gene transcription or on SP-A mRNA stability. Cortisol alone and the combination of cortisol and RA significantly inhibited the rate of SP-A gene transcription but had no effect on SP-A mRNA half-life. RA at 10-6 M had no effect on the rate of SP-B gene transcription but prolonged SP-B mRNA half-life. Cortisol alone and the combination of cortisol and RA caused a significant increase in the rate of SP-B gene transcription and also caused a significant increase in SP-B mRNA stability. We conclude that RA has no effect on SP-A gene expression and increases SP-B mRNA levels by an effect on SP-B mRNA stability and not on the rate of SP-B gene transcription. In addition, the effects of the combination of RA and cortisol were generally similar to those of cortisol alone.

The effect of bilateral intrahippocampal injection of all–trans retinoic acid on spatial learning in adult male rats.
Introduction: Previous studies have shown that vitamin A and its derivatives such as retinoid and all-trans retinoic acid have a crucial role in memory, learning and synaptic plasticity. The receptors of vitamin A are seen in different parts of the brain such as hippocampus, where vitamin A has an important role in learning. In this study, the effect of intrahippocampal (CA1) injection of al...

Background and Objective: Hair follicle stem cells are multipotent, located in the bulge area, and are highly proliferating. Retinoids have an effect on epidermal differentiation and keratinization. Retinoic acid is used to treat some skin diseases such as Melasma, Acne and Ichthyosis. So, the study of all-trans retinoic acid effect on hair follicle stem cells and determination of the effective...
متن کاملRegulation of involucrin gene expression by retinoic acid and glucocorticoids.
Involucrin is a major component of the cornified envelope and a marker for terminal differentiation in keratinocytes. We examined hormone regulation of involucrin mRNA expression and transcriptional modulation of the involucrin gene in human keratinocyte cell lines. Dexamethasone enhanced, and retinoic acid decreased, endogenous involucrin mRNA expression in cells treated with these ligands. Fu...
متن کاملGelatin Microspheres for the Controlled Release of All-trans-Retinoic Acid Topical Formulation and Drug Delivery Evaluation
A topical o/w cream containing tretinoin microspheres was prepared. Gelatin microspheres of tretinoin were prepared using coacervation method. These microspheres contained about 50% w/w tretinoin. The particle size range of microspheres was between 90-150 m m. In vitro drug release from microspheres and a cream formulation was studied. It was shown that drug release from microspheres followed H...
