Disease relevance of Rarb

 

Psychiatry related information on Rarb

  • The administration of CD2665 to alcohol-treated mice totally reversed the working memory deficit and suppressed the overexpression of brain RARbeta, RXRbeta/gamma and tTG mRNA, whereas the same treatment in control mice decreased only the RARbeta mRNA level without affecting memory performance [6].
 

High impact information on Rarb

  • Transgenic embryos were generated carrying a Hoxb-8 transgene under control of the mouse RAR beta 2 promoter, which extends the normal expression domain to more anterior regions of the embryo [7].
  • Inositol increases flux through the inositol/lipid cycle, stimulating protein kinase C activity and upregulating expression of retinoic acid receptor beta, specifically in the caudal portion of the embryonic hindgut [8].
  • To investigate the specific role that RARs might play during development and in adult tissues, we have cloned the mouse RAR alpha and RAR beta (mRAR alpha and mRAR beta) [9].
  • This demonstrates the existence of two human retinoic acid receptors designated RAR-alpha and RAR-beta [10].
  • In the adult mouse, single and compound null mutations in the genes for retinoic acid receptor beta and retinoid X receptors beta and gamma resulted in locomotor defects related to dysfunction of the mesolimbic dopamine signaling pathway [11].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Rarb

 

Biological context of Rarb

  • Separate RA- and Hox-responsive enhancers mediate the two phases of Rarb expression: a regulatory mechanism remarkably similar to that of Hoxb4 [16].
  • We demonstrate that Rarb isoform transcripts are the only known Rar transcripts to specifically localize to the proximal tubules and that RAREhsp68lacZ reporter transgene activity reveals endogenous RA signaling activity within these same proximal tubules [17].
  • In contrast, Rarb, a gene that maps to Chr 14 and which is not an Nnc1 candidate gene, has a significant effect on cell number and is therefore a QTL controlling this key population [1].
  • We measured eye weight, lens weight, retinal area, and retinal ganglion cell number in each of six genotypes (Rara and Rarb -/-, +/-, +/+; 10-25 cases/genotype) [1].
  • When compared with wild type RAR-beta, mutation of either Arg269 or Lys220 singly to the small neutral amino acid Ala had only a small effect on both the EC50 value in all-trans-RA and 9-cis-RA transactivation assays and the apparent Kd for all-trans-RA [18].

Other interactions of Rarb

  • In contrast, over-expression of RAR beta only poorly restored differentiation, although it could replace RAR gamma for the activation of target genes [29].
  • Additionally, we generated mice doubly mutated for Hoxd4 and Rarb in an attempt to identify common morphogenetic pathways between these two genes [19].
  • Antisense oligonucleotides to CRABP I and II alter the expression of TGF-beta 3, RAR-beta, and tenascin in primary cultures of embryonic palate cells [30].
  • We report here the generation of viable RARbeta2/RARgamma2 double null mutant mice, which exhibit several eye defects [4].
  • In contrast, a RAR beta-selective retinoid had little effect on Bmp-2 induction but repressed Bmp-4 [31].
