Multiple retinoic acid responsive cDNAs were
isolated from a high density cDNA microarray membrane, which was
developed from a cDNA library of human tracheobronchial epithelial
cells. Five selected cDNA clones encoded the sequence of the same
novel gene. The predicted open reading frame of the novel gene encoded
a protein of 319 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence contains
four motifs that are conserved in the short-chain alcohol
dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) family of proteins. The novel gene shows
the greatest homology to a group of dehydrogenases that can oxidize
retinol (retinol dehydrogenases). The mRNA of the novel gene was
found in trachea, colon, tongue, and esophagus. In situ
hybridization of airway tissue sections demonstrated epithelial
cell-specific gene expression, especially in the ciliated cell type.
Both all-trans-retinoic acid and 9-cis-retinoic
acid were able to elevate the expression of the novel gene in primary
human tracheobronchial epithelial cells in vitro. This
elevation coincided with an enhanced retinol metabolism in these
cultures. COS cells transfected with an expression construct of the
novel gene were also elevated in the metabolism of retinol. The results
suggested that the novel gene represents a new member of the SDR family
that may play a critical role in retinol metabolism in airway epithelia
as well as in other epithelia of colon, tongue, and esophagus.
