Bioactivity | 9-cis-Retinoic acid (ALRT1057), a vitamin A derivative, is a potent RAR/RXR agonist. 9-cis-Retinoic acid induces apoptosis, regulates cell cycle and has anticancer, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotection activities[1][2][3][4][5]. |
Invitro | 9-cis-Retinoic acid (1-10 μM; 0-5 days; CA 9-22 and NA cells) treatment significantly decreases proliferation in a dose-dependent manner in CA 9-22 and NA cells[1].9-cis-Retinoic acid (1 μM; 24 hours) treatment significantly increases PPARγ functional activity by >200% in CA 9-22 and NA aerodigestive cells[1].9-cis-Retinoic acid treatment results in the formation of a nuclear PPARγ-RXRα heterodimer supershift complex in CA 9-22 cells[1].9-cis-Retinoic acid inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. 9-cis-Retinoic acid also induces G0/G1 cell cycle arrest by downregulation of cyclin D1. 9-cis-Retinoic acid significantly decreases phosphorylation of JAK1, STAT3, and STAT5 and downregulated Bcl-xL and cyclin D1[2].
