  1. Retinoic Acid Receptor Alpha & Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia Ali Foertsch April 2, 2007 BIOL 445

  2. Vitamin A & Retinoic Acid (RA) Structure of Vitamin A Structure of Retinoic Acid http://www.nature.com/ng/journal/v31/n1/images/ng877-I1.gif

  3. Retinoic Receptor Alpha (RARα) • Steroid/thyroid hormone receptor super-family • Found in the nucleus, NOT the plasma membrane • Transcription factor http://courses.bio.psu.edu/summer2005/biol430/readings/maden_cns.pdf

  4. What Happens Without RARα: Knockout Mice • RARα (-/-) null mutation : postnatal lethal RARα (-/-)testes Wild-type testes http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/abstract/90/15/7225

  5. What Happens Without RARα: Double Knockout Mice • RARα (-/-) / RARγ (-/-) : embryonic lethal • RARα1 (-/-) / RARγ (-/-) : postnatal lethal • RARα1 (-/-) / RARβ2 (-/-) : postnatal lethal • RARβ2(-/-) / RARγ (-/-) : postnatal lethal RARα (-/-) RARγ (-/-) Wild-type RARα (-/-) RARγ (-/-) Wild-type http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=7607067&dopt=Citation

  6. What Happens Without RARα: Knockout Mice • Vitamin A Deficient Diet (VAD) : lethal http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://mark.asci.ncsu.edu/Nutrition/NutritionSlides/04.jpg&imgrefurl=http://mark.asci.ncsu.edu/Nutrition/NutritionSlides/slides.htm&h=450&w=661&sz=52&hl=en&start=10&um=1&tbnid=qckFxr3DXb9PcM:&tbnh=94&tbnw=138&prev=/images%3Fq%3D%2522vitamin%2BA%2522%2Bdeficient%2Bdiet%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den

  7. Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) • Cancer of the blood and bone marrow • Accumulation of promyelocytes in circulation • Chromosomal translocation of RARα from 17 to 15 http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.med-ed.virginia.edu/courses/path/innes/images/wcdjpeg/wcd%2520M3%2520x100%2520b.jpeg&imgrefurl=http://www.med-ed.virginia.edu/courses/path/innes/wcd/myeloid1.cfm&h=172&w=250&sz=35&hl=en&start=5&tbnid=GBEnZnSuUioa8M:&tbnh=76&tbnw=111&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dacute%2Bpromyelocytic%2Bleukemia%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D20%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN

  8. Chromosomal Translocation in APL • “Hot spots” in the genome for translocation • Over 50 identified in the last decade • These give way to specific leukemia types http://www.meds.com/molmime/leukemia/guide/1660s15.jpg

  9. Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) • Treatable with high concentrations of RA • Physiological [RA] = 10-9 -10-8 • Pharmacological [RA] = 10-7 -10-6 ☺ http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.webtie.org/sots/Meetings/Leukemia/02000/transcripts/gilliland/slides/slide14_trans.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.webtie.org/sots/Meetings/Leukemia/0200/transcripts/gilliland/Transcript.htm&h=226&w=300&sz=12&hl=en&start=7&tbnid=fp2ncnHFuM:&tbnh=87&tbnw=116&prev=/images%3Fq%3DAcute%2Bpromyelocytic%2Bleukemia%26gbv%3D2%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den

  10. So where can I get some Vitamin A?? http://www.nutritionhawaii.org/source/foodguide/vitamin.jpg

  11. Any questions about… RAR!! http://lazerbrody.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/mouse.jpg
