Epithelial-mesenchymal transformation of the medial edge epithelium is the most crucial process in embryonic palatal fusion. This study aimed to explore the relationship and potential mechanism between enhancer DNA methylation and mRNA expression of histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) during palatal
All-trans-retinoic acid (RA) is teratogenic to the embryonic mouse, producing malformations in many developing systems, including the limb bud and palate. High incidences of limb defects and cleft palate are induced at doses which are not maternally toxic and do not increase resorptions. Exposure to
The current study was designed to elucidate the mechanism of retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) in cleft palate induced by all‑trans retinoic acid (atRA). To establish a cleft palate model in C57BL/6J mice, pregnant mice were administered atRA (100 mg/kg) by gavage at the tenth embryonic stage
Since high anorectal malformations with fistulae in human embryos and fetuses of successive developmental stages have not been reported, the embryologic relationship between the rectal fistula (RF) and the genitourinary tract (GUT) in high anorectal agenesis (ARA) remains to be elucidated. This
We have previously demonstrated that stress proteins (SPs) are synthesized in tissues in which malformations are later observed following treatment with the developmental toxicant, retinoic acid (RA), on day 11 of gestation (GD 11). These proteins were not synthesized in tissues which did not
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effects of prophylactic administration of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) in relieving inflammation in a rat model of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA).
METHODS
Female Wistar rats (6 to 8 weeks old) were randomly divided into normal control group, solvent control group,
In hypertensive rodents, retinoic acid (RA) prevents adverse cardiac remodelling and improves myocardial infarction outcome, but its role in obesity-related changes of cardiac tissue are unclear. We hypothesized that all-trans RA (ATRA) treatment will improve the cardioprotective
In CD-1 mice, maternal restraint stress was combined with all-trans-retinoic acid (tRA) given during the restraint period (9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.) to determine in what manner and to what degree teratogenesis might be affected by treatment timing within the stress period and to determine the optimum
BACKGROUND
Prenatal rat embryo exposure to retinoids induces severe malformations in various organs; the most active and teratogenic metabolite is all-trans-retinoic acid (atRA). The mechanisms of this embryopathy are only partly known. In the present study, the influence of glycine on the
To investigate the effects of retinoic acid (RA) on the proliferation and apoptosis of mesenchyme and epithelium at the key stages of palatal development, and to determine the embryonic alterations associated with cleft palate.
100 pregnant C57 females (E12) were equally divided into two groups. The
Cleft palate(CP) is a widely studied congenital malformation. However, its etiology and pathogenesis still remain unclear. Proteins are fundamental molecules that participate in every biological process within cells. In this study, we established CP mouse models induced by
Although numerous studies have confirmed that consumption of folic acid (FA) during early pregnancy reduces the risk of oral facial clefts in newborn infants, the optimal dose of FA for reducing this risk remains unknown. We evaluated various doses of FA for their ability to reduce the incidence of
BACKGROUND
We have previously demonstrated a decrease in intimal hyperplasia in vein bypass grafts from animals treated with all-trans-retinoic acid (atRA). The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of atRA on proliferation and apoptosis rates in healing vein bypass
Time-mated Sprague-Dawley rats were administered all-trans-retinoic acid (RA) dermally on gestational days 11 through 14 at three dosage levels (25, 100, and 250 mg/kg body weight). Dams administered ethylenethiourea (ETU) dermally on gestational days 11 to 12 or RA orally on day 12 were used to
Retinoids are effective in the prevention of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea-induced mammary carcinoma; retinoids and hormonal therapy exert synergy in cancer prevention. In this study, we examined the effects of the dietary supplementation with all-trans retinoic acid (RA) alone or in combination with
