Synergistic activation of RARbeta and RARgamma nuclear receptors restores cell specialization during stem cell differentiation by hijacking RARalpha-controlled programs.

Title: Retinoic Acid Receptor γ Activity in Mesenchymal Stem Cells Regulates Endochondral Bone, Angiogenesis, and B Lymphopoiesis.
EtOH stimulates stem cell differentiation by increasing the influx and metabolism of ROL for downstream RARgamma-dependent transcription. In stem cells, EtOH may shift cell fate decisions to alter developmental outcomes by increasing endogenous ROL/RA signaling via increased Stra6 expression and ROL oxidation.
Title: Ethanol promotes differentiation of embryonic stem cells through retinoic acid receptor-γ.
RARgamma signaling is required for the differentiation of hypertrophic chondrocytes, with differential cooperation with p38 MAPK.
Title: Retinoic Receptor Signaling Regulates Hypertrophic Chondrocyte-specific Gene Expression.
the RAR:RXR and LXR:RXR-mediated transcriptional program in embryonic stem cells, neural progenitors and terminally differentiated neurons, is reported.
Title: RXR heterodimers orchestrate transcriptional control of neurogenesis and cell fate specification.
This study used CRISPR technology to introduce biallelic frameshift mutations in RAR alpaha, RAR beta, and RAR gamma, thereby abrogating all RAR functions in murine embryonic stem cells. RAR-null cells display no changes in transcripts in response to All-trans-retinoic acid (RA), demonstrating that the RARs are essential for the regulation of all transcripts in murine embryonic stem cells in response to RA.
Title: Combinatorial knockout of RARα, RARβ, and RARγ completely abrogates transcriptional responses to retinoic acid in murine embryonic stem cells.
RARalpha and RARgamma reciprocally control K5(+) progenitor cell proliferation and distribution in the developing submandibular salivary epithelium in a cell cycle-dependent manner while regulating lumenization independently of keratinizing differentiation

the reprogramming of epiblast stem cells into embryonic stem cell-like cells also requires low levels of retinoic acid (RA), which can modulate Wnt signalling through physical interactions of RARs with beta-catenin.
Title: Signalling Through Retinoic Acid Receptors is Required for Reprogramming of Both Mouse Embryonic Fibroblast Cells and Epiblast Stem Cells to Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells.
Data show that retinoic acid receptor gamma (RARgamma)-proto-oncogene protein c-fos (c-Fos)-PPARgamma2 (PPARgamma2) signaling rather than reactive oxygen species generation is critical for all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-inhibited adipocyte differentiation.
Title: RARγ-C-Fos-PPARγ2 signaling rather than ROS generation is critical for all-trans retinoic acid-inhibited adipocyte differentiation.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
