  2. 1. Alcohol and gene expression in nerve cells with emphasis on transcription factor AP-1

    Author : Ulrik Fried; Institutionen för laboratoriemedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; nerve cells; SH-SY5Y; muscarinic receptors; MAPKs; PKC; gene expression; jun; Activating Protein-1; Alcohol; ethanol; CRABP-I; Clinical chemistry; Klinisk kemi;

    Abstract : Alcohol induces profound effects on the function of the nerve cells in the nervous system. Alterations in gene expression is an important way by which these effects could be induced and sustained. Activating Protein-1 (AP-1) is a dimeric transcription factor constituted of proteins from the fos and jun immediate-early gene families. READ MORE

  4. 2. Retinoids and vitamin D in skin and parathyroid glands

    Author : Liu Wei; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; all-trans retinoic acid 9-cis retinoic acid vitamin A. vitamin D. CRBP. CRABP. RAR. RXR. parathyroid hormone. calcium receptor; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Abstract : Vitamin D3 (VitD3) and retinoids are important factors involved in differentiation and proliferation in many cell systems. Their effects in skin, where retinoids and vitamin D are known to be crucially involved in keratinocyte differentiation and function,, and in the parathyroid, the overall regulatory organ in calcium homeostasis were studied.

  5. 3. On retinoid receptors, Nurr1 and related transcription factors in the CNS

    Author : Rolf H Zetterström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Nurr1; NGFI-B; Nor1; RAR; RXR; CRBP; CRABP; substantia nigra; basal ganglia; dopamine; orphan receptor; vitamin A; retinoic acid; transcription factor;

    Abstract : It has long been known that retinoids (vitamin A derivatives) are required for normal development and growth; in excess however metabolites such as all-trans retinoic acid are potent teratogens. Retinoids exert their effects through transcription factors known as the retinoic acid receptors (RARam -ß and -y) and retinoid X receptors (RXRa, -ß and -y). READ MORE

  6. 4. Studies on cellular vitamin A metabolism and effects of UV irridation in human keratinocytes and melanocytes

    Author : Eva Andersson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Reinoids (vitamin A and its derivatives) are modulators of proliferation and differentiation in a variety of cell types, including epidermal cells. Both retinol (ROH) and its metabolite 3,4-didehydroretinol (ddROH) can be converted to the acid form retinoic acid (RA) and 3,4-didehydroretinoic acid (ddRA), ligands for the nuclear receptors inducing gene transcriptions.
