    RARA Antibody validated in ChIP-seq

    Figure 1. ChIP-seq results obtained with the Diagenode antibody directed against RARA
    ChIP was performed as described above and the IP’d DNA was analysed with an Illumina Genome Analyzer. Library preparation, cluster generation and sequencing were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The 32 bp tags were aligned to the human reference genome (hg18) using the ELAND algorithm. Figure 2 shows the results of the complete chromosome 19 and two 50 kb region surrounding the HMHA1 and PRAM1 genes, respectively.

    RARA Antibody ChIP Grade

    Figure 2. ChIP results obtained with the Diagenode antibody directed against RARA
    ChIP assays were performed using NB4 cells, the Diagenode antibody against RARA (Cat. No. CS-155-100) and optimized primer pairs for qPCR. Sheared chromatin from 6 million cells and 4 μl of antibody were used per ChIP experiment. QPCR was performed using primers specific for the TGM2, HMHA1, PRAM1 and H2B genes. Figure 1 shows the relative occupancy, calculated as the ratio + control/background for which the second exon of the MB gene was used.

    RARA Antibody ELISA validation

    Figure 3. Determination of the antibody titer
    To determine the titer of the antibody, an ELISA was performed using a serial dilution of the Diagenode antibody directed against human RARA (Cat. No. CS-155-100). The plates were coated with the peptides used for immunization of the rabbit. By plotting the absorbance against the antibody dilution (Figure 3), the titer of the antibody was estimated to be 1:2,400.

    RARA Antibody validated in Western Blot

    Figure 4. Western blot analysis using the Diagenode antibody directed against RARA
    Human embryonic kidney cells (293T) were transfected with a RARA construct (lane 2) or with a negative control construct (lane 1) and analysed by Western blot using the Diagenode antibody against RARA (Cat. No. CS-155-100), diluted 1:750 in BSA/PBS- Tween. The molecular weight marker (in kDa) is shown on the left; the location of the protein of interest is indicated on the right.

  • Target Description

    RARA (UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot entry P10276) is a receptor for retinoic acid, a vitamin A metabolite, which directly regulates gene expression in target cells by binding to specific DNA response elements. In the absence of its ligand, this receptor represses transcription through the recruitment of specific corepressors and of HDAC’s, whereas binding of retinioc acid causes the recruitment of coactivators and HAT’s. Translocations involving the RARA gene, often leading to a RARA/PML fusion protein, are a major cause of acute promyelocytic leukemia.

    ALDH1A1 promotes PARP inhibitor resistance by enhancing retinoic acidreceptor-mediated DNA polymerase θ expression.
    Lavudi K. et al.
    Poly (ADP-ribose) Polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) have been approved for both frontline and recurrent setting in ovarian cancer with homologous recombination (HR) repair deficiency. However, more than 40\% of BRCA1/2-mutated ovarian cancer lack the initial response to PARPi treatment, and the majority of those ...

    Ainsworth R. I. et al.
    Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an immune-mediated disease affecting diarthrodial joints that remains an unmet medical need despite improved therapy. This limitation likely reflects the diversity of pathogenic pathways in RA, with individual patients demonstrating variable responses to targeted therapies. Better unders...

    Gut-microbiota dysbiosis links to allergic diseases. The mechanism of the exacerbation of food allergy caused by gut-microbiota dysbiosis remains unknown. Regulation of retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARα) signaling is critical for gut immune homeostasis. Here we clarified that RARα in dendritic cells (DC...

    Retinoic Acid Receptor Alpha Represses a Th9 Transcriptional and Epigenomic Program to Reduce Allergic Pathology.

    CD4 T helper (Th) differentiation is regulated by diverse inputs, including the vitamin A metabolite retinoic acid (RA). RA acts through its receptor RARα to repress transcription of inflammatory cytokines, but is also essential for Th-mediated immunity, indicating complex effects of RA on Th specification and...

    Human retinoic acid-regulated CD161 regulatory T cells support wound repair in intestinal mucosa.

    Repair of tissue damaged during inflammatory processes is key to the return of local homeostasis and restoration of epithelial integrity. Here we describe CD161 regulatory T (T) cells as a distinct, highly suppressive population of T cells that mediate wound healing. These T cells were enriched in intestinal lamina ...

    Morrice N. et al.
    Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) has emerged as an important beneficial regulator of glucose and lipid homeostasis but its levels are also abnormally increased in insulin-resistant states in rodents and humans. The synthetic retinoid Fenretinide inhibits obesity and improves glucose homeostasis in mice and has pl...

    The oncofusion protein FUS-ERG targets key hematopoietic regulators and modulates the all-trans retinoic acid signaling pathway in t(16;21) acute myeloid leukemia.
    Sotoca AM1, Prange KH1, Reijnders B1, Mandoli A1, Nguyen LN1, Stunnenberg HG1, Martens JH
    The ETS transcription factor ERG has been implicated as a major regulator of both normal and aberrant hematopoiesis. In acute myeloid leukemias harboring t(16;21), ERG function is deregulated due to a fusion with FUS/TLS resulting in the expression of a FUS-ERG oncofusion protein. How this oncofusion protein deregul...

    CD4(+) T cells differentiate into phenotypically distinct T helper cells upon antigenic stimulation. Regulation of plasticity between these CD4(+) T-cell lineages is critical for immune homeostasis and prevention of autoimmune disease. However, the factors that regulate lineage stability are largely unknown. Here we...

    Martens JH, Brinkman AB, Simmer F, Francoijs KJ, Nebbioso A, Ferrara F, Altucci L, Stunnenberg HG
    Many different molecular mechanisms have been associated with PML-RARalpha-dependent transformation of hematopoietic progenitors. Here, we identified high confidence PML-RARalpha binding sites in an acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cell line and in two APL primary blasts. We found colocalization of PML-RARalpha wi...
