The effect of all-trans retinoic acid and/or colchicine on expression of rexinoid and thyroid hormone nuclear receptors and their coregulators in primary rat hepatocytes

Gen Physiol Biophys. 2007 Sep;26(3):240-2.

Abstract

In the present work, the effects of colchicine (COL) and/or all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on expression of rexinoid receptors (RXRs) (alpha, beta, gamma), thyroid hormone receptor alpha and coregulators N-CoR, SMRT and SRC-1 mRNA in primary rat hepatocytes as a model of no-proliferating cells were investigated. Treatment with these components, either alone or in combination, induced differences of the expression profiles between distinct treatment groups.
