Retinoic acids exert profound effects on
many biological processes including cell proliferation,
differentiation, and morphogenesis. We previously reported that
all-trans-retinoic acid (t-RA) protected mesangial cells
from H2O2-triggered apoptosis by
suppressing the activator protein 1 (AP-1) pathway. It was via
inhibition of c-fos and c-jun expression
and suppression of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation. In this
report, we investigated the involvement of retinoic acid receptor (RAR)
and retinoid X receptor (RXR) in the antiapoptotic effect of t-RA in
H2O2-exposed cells. We found that pretreatment
with RAR pan-antagonist (AGN193109) or RXR pan-antagonist (HX531)
attenuated the antiapoptotic effect of t-RA. Similarly,
transient transfection with a dominant-negative mutant of RAR or a
dominant-negative RXR diminished the antiapoptotic effect of t-RA. Both
RAR and RXR antagonists reversed the suppressive effect of t-RA on AP-1
activity. However, the roles of RAR and RXR in the suppression of AP-1
components by t-RA were found to be different. RAR antagonist reversed
the suppressive effect of t-RA on both c-fos and
c-jun, whereas RXR antagonist reversed the effect of t-RA
on c-fos but not c-jun. Furthermore,
suppression of JNK activation by t-RA was observed even in the presence
of RAR and RXR antagonists. Consistently, suppression of JNK by t-RA was not affected by overexpression of either the dominant-negative RAR
or the dominant-negative RXR. These data elucidated that the antiapoptotic effect of t-RA is mediated by both nuclear
receptor-dependent and -independent mechanisms.
