IDENTIFICATION OF EFFECTIVE RETINOIDS FOR INHIBITING GROWTH AND INDUCING APOPTOSIS IN BLADDER CANCER CELLS

Abstract

The results demonstrate that 4HPR is the most potent growth inhibitor and apoptosis inducer of the retinoids tested. Lack of retinoic acid receptor beta expression may be responsible for cell resistance to all-trans-retinoic acid but not to the other retinoids.
