Rexinoid-Triggered Differentiation and Tumor-Selective Apoptosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia by Protein Kinase A–Mediated Desubordination of Retinoid X Receptor
1 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
Apart from PML-retinoic acid receptor-alpha (RARalpha) acute promyelocytic leukemia all other acute myeloid leukemias (AML) are unresponsive to retinoid differentiation therapy. However, elevating the levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP) confers onto retinoid X receptor (RXR)-selective agonists ("rexinoids") the ability to induce terminal granulocyte differentiation and apoptosis of all-trans retinoic acid-resistant and...
