title: [Retinoic acid has an antiestrogenic effect on different regulated estrogen genes in different cellular types].
abstract: In this paper, we confirmed that retinoic acid is an antiestrogenic compound with respect to different chimaeric estrogenic responses and with respect to different cellular types. This was shown by transient transfection of MCF-7 cells with plasmids driving the chloramphenicol acetyl-transferase gene via different estrogenic regulatory part (pS2) and the first promotor of the progesterone receptor gene (PR1); an identical conclusion was obtained in HeLa cells by cotransfecting a plasmid expressing the estrogen receptor. In addition, the inhibitory effect of retinoic acid was not observed for genes regulated by the progesterone receptor and the glucocorticoid receptor. As the antiestrogenic effect of retinoic acid was increased by cotransfecting acid receptor(s) RAR alpha, beta, gamma, we concluded that RAR(s) is(are) involved in the antiestrogenic effect of retinoic acid.
