Retinoids have been described to be potent modulators of cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis in various types of squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) and myeloid cancer cells in vitro (Bollag and Holdener, 1992;Lotan et al., 1995). It has also been demonstrated that treatment of cells with re

The role of retinoic acid receptor (RAR) expression in sensitivity to N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide (4HPR or fenretinide) as well as on the tumorigenicity of human ovarian carcinoma cells was examined. Two human ovarian cancer cell lines, A2780 and IGROV-1, with a 10-fold difference in sensitivity t
Numerous reports have shown an association between overexpression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and poor prognosis in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC), however, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. In the present study, we set out to determine whether EGFR exp
Retinoids modulate several cell functions and especially inhibit the growth of a wide variety of cells including breast cancer. Retinoic acid receptor-gamma (RAR-gamma) has been shown to mediate the antiproliferative activity of retinoids. To further test this hypothesis we examined the effects of d
