1 17021013 Activating signal cointegrator-2 (ASC-2), a coactivator of multiple transcription factors that include retinoic acid receptor (RAR), associates with histone H3-K4 methyltranferases (H3K4MTs) MLL3 and MLL4 in mixed-lineage leukemia.
2 17460283 In addition, RARalpha agonists significantly abrogated the upregulation of calpain 2 induced by H(2)O(2), which is a potential etiological contributor to the diabetic cataract, whereas H(2)O(2) had no effect on calpain 1.
3 17470563 Here, we demonstrate that retinoic acid receptor (RAR)alpha stimulants preferentially act on glial cells rather than endothelial cells, resulting in the enhanced expression of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) through recruitment of the RARalpha-driven trans-acting coactivator to the 5'-flanking region of the gene promoter.
4 17470563 Conversely, RARalpha decreases expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/vascular permeability factor.
5 19114589 In adipocytes, the overexpression of CRBP1 enhanced (4- to 5-fold) the activity of promoters containing response elements for retinol-dependent nuclear receptors [retinoic acid receptor (RAR) and retinoid X receptor (RXR)] or peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR).
