Ganglioside changes induced by tumor promoters in promotable JB6 mouse epidermal cells: antagonism by an antipromoter. 1982

L Srinivas, and N H Colburn

Since cell surface gangliosides have been implicated in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation and since tumor-promoting phorbol esters produce a number of membrane changes, the possibility was investigated that ganglioside changes may play a role in promotion of transformation in JB6 mouse epidermal cells. The studies showed that tumor-promoting but not non-promoting phorbol esters produced decreased precursor incorporation into disialoganglioside GD1b and an unknown ganglioside, Gx. These ganglioside responses to promoters were antagonized by the antipromoter retinoic acid, thus suggesting that alterations in ganglioside levels may be involved in promotion of transformation.

D004817 Epidermis The external, nonvascular layer of the skin. It is made up, from within outward, of five layers of EPITHELIUM: (1) basal layer (stratum basale epidermidis); (2) spinous layer (stratum spinosum epidermidis); (3) granular layer (stratum granulosum epidermidis); (4) clear layer (stratum lucidum epidermidis); and (5) horny layer (stratum corneum epidermidis).
D005732 Gangliosides A subclass of ACIDIC GLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS. They contain one or more sialic acid (N-ACETYLNEURAMINIC ACID) residues. Using the Svennerholm system of abbrevations, gangliosides are designated G for ganglioside, plus subscript M, D, or T for mono-, di-, or trisialo, respectively, the subscript letter being followed by a subscript arabic numeral to indicated sequence of migration in thin-layer chromatograms.

D014212 Tretinoin An important regulator of GENE EXPRESSION during growth and development, and in NEOPLASMS. Tretinoin, also known as retinoic acid and derived from maternal VITAMIN A, is essential for normal GROWTH; and EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT. An excess of tretinoin can be teratogenic. It is used in the treatment of PSORIASIS; ACNE VULGARIS; and several other SKIN DISEASES. It has also been approved for use in promyelocytic leukemia (LEUKEMIA, PROMYELOCYTIC, ACUTE).
