This article is an open access publication Abstract Septoclasts, which are mononuclear and spin- TUNEL reaction, RA receptor (RAR)β, and cellular reti- dle-shaped cells with many processes, have been con- noic acid-binding protein (CRABP)-II were induced in sidered to resorb the transverse septa of the growth plate E-FABP-positive septoclasts under RA excess, suggest- (GP) cartilage at the chondro-osseous junction (COJ). We ing the growth arrest/cell-death of septoclasts, whereas previously reported the expression of epidermal-type fatty cartilage-derived retinoic acid-sensitive protein (CD-RAP) acid-binding protein (E-FABP, FABP5) and localization inducing the cell growth arrest or morphological changes of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)β/δ, was induced in septoclasts under VA deficiency. These which mediates the cell survival or proliferation, in septo- results support and do not conflict with our TI - Retinoic acid regulates cell-shape and -death of E-FABP (FABP5)-immunoreactive septoclasts in the growth plate cartilage of mice JO - Histochemistry and Cell Biology DO - 10.1007/s00418-017-1578-0 DA - 2017-05-12 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/retinoic-acid-regulates-cell-shape-and-death-of-e-fabp-fabp5-kBkdd25AR2 DP - DeepDyve ER -
