1 19474283 In this report, we investigated roles of the retinoic acid receptor (RAR), the retinoid X receptor (RXR) and the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in the regulation of the nephrin gene.
2 19474283 Reporter podocytes were treated with agonists and/or antagonists of RAR, RXR or VDR, and activities of the nephrin gene promoter, the retinoic acid response element (RARE) and the vitamin D response element (VDRE) were evaluated.
3 19474283 The nephrin gene promoter was also activated by these agents, which was mediated by RAR and VDR, but unexpectedly, not by RXR.
4 19474283 ATRA-triggered, RAR-mediated activation of the nephrin gene promoter was not suppressed by the VDR antagonist.
5 19474283 In contrast, the 1,25(OH)(2)D(3)-triggered, VDR-mediated activation of the nephrin gene promoter was significantly suppressed by the RAR antagonist, but not by RXR antagonists.
6 20237236 In the present investigation, we identified that TNF-alpha selectively represses activity of RAR but not VDR.
7 20237236 TNF-alpha caused activation of NF-kappaB, MAP kinases, and PI3K-Akt in podocytes, whereas blockade of these molecules did not affect inhibition of RAR by TNF-alpha.
8 17182884 Podocytes expressed most isoforms of retinoic acid receptors (RAR) and retinoid X receptors (RXR) with the exception of RXRgamma.
