1 We previously showed that mature heart valves calcify in response to retinoic acid (RA) treatment through downregulation of the SRY transcription factor Sox9. Tretinoin SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 9 Mus musculus
2 We previously showed that mature heart valves calcify in response to retinoic acid (RA) treatment through downregulation of the SRY transcription factor Sox9. Tretinoin SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 9 Mus musculus
3 Using a pharmacological approach, we show that RA-mediated Sox9 repression and calcification is regulated by classical RA signaling and requires both RA and retinoid X receptors. Tretinoin SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 9 Mus musculus
