The gastric epithelial progenitors proliferate and undergo bipolar migration associated with their differentiation into pit, parietal, and zymogenic cell lineages. Retinoids have long been known to modulate proliferation and differentiation of various renewing epithelia, and the expression of their receptors has been demonstrated in the gastric mucosa. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of retinoic acid on progenitor cell proliferation and cell lineage formation in the mouse stomach. By using subcutaneously inserted osmotic pumps, mice were continuously infused with all-trans retinoic acid (5 mg/kg per day) for 3 days. To label S-phase cells and their progeny, bromodeoxyuridine was administered for different time intervals. Analysis of gastric mucosal tissues of retinoic acid-treated mice revealed a significant increase in the number of S-phase progenitor cells and an enhancement in the production of their progeny. The life span of pit cells was reduced, and their apoptosis became apparent at the luminal surface. Immunofluoresence probing of pit, parietal and enteroendocrine cell lineages in control and retinoic acid-treated mice showed no significant change in their labeling pattern. However, there was an increase in the labeled gland area of zymogenic cells. In conclusion, 3-day treatment of retinoic acid enhances the proliferation of gastric epithelial progenitors and the dynamics of their progeny.

Management of plane warts is difficult; techniques like cryotherapy and cauterization are linked with a significant number of recurrences, risk of scarring, pain, and costs. To evaluate the effectiveness of TCA 30% solution in comparison with tretinoin 0.05% cream and5-flurouracil (5-FU) 5% cream in treatment of plane wart.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to improve the economic value of the processed by-products of farmed miiuy croaker () by evaluating the nutrient composition and osteogenic activity of its bones. We prepared bone peptides (MMBP) and analyzed their osteogenic potential.
Methods: We assessed the osteogenic activity of MMBP by molecular docking, MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation assay and zebrafish growth model, and evaluated its effect on osteoporosis (OP) using a retinoic acid-induced osteoporosis rat model.
Comparison of laboratory characteristics and clinical prognosis of APL with negative and positive PML-RARα gene.

This study analyzes the laboratory characteristics and prognosis of patients between PML-RARα negative APL and PML-RARα positive APL and compares the differences in order to improve the understanding of this rare APL and guide clinical diagnosis and treatment. A total of 81 patients with newly diagnosed APL based on bone marrow cell morphology were included, with 14 in the PML-RARα gene negative group and 67 in the PML-RARα gene positive group. The sex, age, peripheral blood routine test, coagulation related indicators, bone marrow cell morphology, flow cytometric immunophenotype, abnormal chromosome expression and prognosis of the 2 groups were analyzed and compared.

Six pyridine analogs of (E)-3-(3-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,1,4,4,6-pentamethylnaphthalen-7-yl)-4-hydroxyphenyl)acrylic acid-or CD3254 (11)-in addition to two novel analogs of 1-(3,5,5,8,8-pentamethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl)-1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole-5-carboxylic acid (CBt-PMN or 23) were prepared and evaluated for selective retinoid-X-receptor (RXR) agonism alongside bexarotene (1), an FDA-approved drug for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Treatment with 1 often elicits side-effects by disrupting or provoking other RXR-dependent nuclear receptors and cellular pathways. All analogs were assessed through modeling for their ability to bind RXR and then evaluated in human colon and kidney cells employing an RXR-RXR mammalian-2-hybrid (M2H) system and in an RXRE-controlled transcriptional assay.

Vitamin A and its primary active derivative, all-trans retinoic acid (RA), are endogenous signaling molecules essential for numerous biological processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and immune modulation. Owing to its differentiation-inducing effect, RA was the first differentiating agent approved for the clinical treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. While the classical mechanisms of RA signaling involve nuclear receptors, such as retinoic acid receptors (RARs), emerging evidence suggests that RA also engages in non-covalent and covalent interactions with a broader range of proteins.
