Abstract

The aim of this study was to clarify retinoid receptor mechanisms mediating the effects of 9-cis retinoic acid (RA) and investigate the ability of RAR- and RXR-specific analogues to induce differentiation and inhibit proliferation in neuroblastoma cells. Differentiation and the inhibition of proliferation by 9-cis RA, but not all-trans RA, were inhibited by the RXR-homodimer antagonist LG745. The RXR-specific agonist LGD1069 was ineffective at inducing differentiation or inhibiting proliferation, but showed marked synergism with RAR-specific agonists with respect to inhibiting proliferation. These data suggest that the effects of 9-cis RA are mediated via both RXR-homodimers and heterodimers. However, combinations of RAR- and RXR-selective analogues were not as effective at promoting differentiation. This study indicates that different receptor mechanisms are involved in retinoid-induced differentiation and inhibition of proliferation in neuroblastoma cells.
