| Abstract | The diverse function of retinoic acid (RA) is mediated by its nuclear receptors, the retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and retinoid X receptors (RXRs). However, the RA response is often lost in cancer cells that express the receptors. Previously, it was demonstrated that the RA response is regulated by the COUP-TF orphan receptors. Here, we present evidence that nur77, another orphan receptor whose expression is highly induced by phorbol esters and growth factors, is involved in modulation of the RA response. Expression of nur77 enhances ligand-independent transactivation of RA response elements (RAREs) and desensitizes their RA responsiveness. Conversely, expression of COUP-TF sensitizes RA responsiveness of RAREs by repressing their basal transactivation activity. Unlike the effect of COUP-TFs, the function of nur77 does not require direct binding of nur77 to the RAREs, but is through interaction between nur77 and COUP-TFs. The interaction occurs in solution and results in inhibition of COUP-TF RARE binding and transcriptional activity. Unlike other nuclear receptors, a large portion of the carboxy-terminal end of nur77 is not required for its interaction with COUP-TF. In human lung cancer cell lines, COUP-TF is highly expressed in RA-sensitive cell lines while nur77 expression is associated with RA resistance. Stable expression of COUP-TF in nur77-positive, RA-resistant lung cancer cells enhances the inducibility of RARbeta gene expression and growth inhibition by RA. These observations demonstrate that a dynamic equilibrium between orphan receptors nur77 and COUP-TF, through their heterodimerization that regulates COUP-TF RARE binding, is critical for RA responsiveness of human lung cancer cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
