Informations sur le gène

Application

Bexarotene has been used as retinoid x receptor (RXR) agonist:
  • to study its effect on human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines
  • to test for cooperative cell killing of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) with 966
  • as a standard in HPLC for determining its potential impurities in drug substances and drug products

Bexarotene has been used:
  • to investigate its effects on the changes in renal, cardiac, hepatic, and pulmonary expression/activity of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and CYP4F6
  • to analyze the involvement of retinoid x receptor (RXR) homo or permissive heterodimers
  • to study its potential impurities in drug substances and drug products

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

Bexarotene is a highly selective retinoid X receptor (RXR) agonist. It is an antineoplastic agent, already approved as an oral antineoplastic agent for cutaneous T cell lymphoma and being investigated against other cancers. A study has found that bexarotene in a mouse Alzheimer′s model lowered the most toxic form of β-amyloid peptide and increased cognitive ability. The activity in the mouse Alzheimer′s models are believed to be by activating PPARγ:RXR and LXR:RXR dimers which induces the expression of apoE and facilitates Aβ clearance and promotes microglial phagocytosis.
Bexarotene is used to treat breast cancer.

Contenu apparenté

Cyclic nucleotides, including cyclic AMP (cAMP), cyclic GMP (cGMP) and cyclic ADP-ribose, have been extensively studied as second messengers of intracellular events initiated by activation of GPCRs. cAMP modifies cell function in all eukaryotic cells, principally through the activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), but also through cAMP-gated ion channels and guanine nucleotide exchange factors directly activated by cAMP.
