Retinoids Vitamin A and its derivatives

Explore the significance of retinoids, including their role in cell growth, apoptosis, and differentiation, as well as their impact on vision and embryonic development. Learn about retinoids' antioxidative properties, retinoic acid subtypes, nuclear receptors, and the consequences of retinoid signaling disruption by xenobiotics.

Presentation Transcript

  1. RetinoidsVitamin A and its derivatives

  2. Retinoids Important forcell growth, apoptosis and differenciation Necessary for vision Development of embryonic, epithelial cells (gastrointestinal tract, skin, bones) Antioxidative agent Coenzyme Q biosynthesis Suppressive effects in cancer development

  3. Retinoids -karoten Bond cleavage Retinol (vitamin A) Retinoic Acid

  4. Exprese genů Mode of action • Nuclear receptors RAR a RXR

  5. Mode of action • Isoforms of RAR a RXR • Both have isoforms a,b and g, each of them several subtypes • Formation of homo- and heterodimers • 48 possible RAR-RXR heterodimers =>sensitive regulation of gene expression • RXR – heterodimers even with other receptors like VDR, TR, PPAR

  6. Retinoic acid • 3 basic subtypes • all-trans-, 9-cis- and 13-cis-retinoic acid • All-trans RA binds selectively to RAR • Cis RA bind to both receptor types • RA may be isomerized inside cells 13-cis-retinoic acid

  7. Retinoid-binding proteins • CRBP – cellular retinol binding protein • - binding of retinol, immediate decrease of retinol concentration • CRBAP – cellular retinoic acid binding protein • Controlling ratio free retinol/free retinoic acid and so retinoid signalling

  8. RE: Retinol-Ester R: Retinol RBP: Retinol Binding Protien (LMW) TTR: Transthyrethin (HMW)

  9. RAL - Retinal

  10. Disruption of retinoid signalling by xenobiotics • Relatively little is known • Possible modes of action: • Metabolization of retinoids by detoxication enzymes • Disruption of binding retinoids to retinoid binding proteins • Retinoids as antioxidants may be consumed cause of oxidative stress caused by xenobiotics • Interference of chemicals (binding to RAR/RXR)

  11. Consequences of retinoid signalling disruption - Decreased retinoid levels in organisms - Downregulation of growth factors - Xerophtalmia, night blindness - Embryotoxicity, developmental abnormalities X - Increased ATRA concentration – teratogenic effect Change may cause severe developmental anomalies

  12. Disruption of retinoid signalling by xenobiotics • - Most studies focused on effects of PCBs, PCDDFs • Exposure to these chemicals leads to: • Increased serum concentrations of retinol and RA • Mobilization of hepatic storage forms • In kidney, concentration of all forms elevated

  13. In vivo teststo assess retinoid signalling disruption • - Mostly derived from classical toxicity tests, particularly of developmental toxicity • Direct measurements of various retinoid forms in living organisms (laboratory and wildlife)

  14. Mostly epithelial cell lines (keratinocytes) • Mouse embryonic cell lines P19 • pluripotent cells • differentiation dependent on circumstances • dif. triggered by ATRA - Other cell lines – rainbow trout gonads, human salivary gland, breast or prostatic carcinomas etc. In vitro tests
