1 We have shown that retinoic acid (RA), which is known to play a necessary role in early events in pregnancy, can combine with transcriptional activators of VEGF (e.g. TPA, TGF-beta, IL-1beta) to rapidly induce VEGF secretion from human endometrial stromal cells through a translational mechanism of action.

3 Importantly, co-treatment of RA with TPA or TGF-beta further stimulated ROS production in a fashion that positively correlated with levels of VEGF secretion. Tretinoin transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
4 The antioxidants N-acetylcysteine and glutathione monoethyl ester inhibited both RA + TPA and RA + TGF-beta-stimulated secretion of VEGF, as well as RA-induced ROS production. Tretinoin transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
