Abstract

Retinoids, and their synthetic analogues, are well-established regulators of the squamous differentiation programme both in vivo and in vitro. Despite this, very few studies have focused on the mechanism by which retinoid action is terminated, e.g. metabolism. Recently, a new cytochrome P450 family member (CYP26AI) was cloned. CYP26AI was reported to have substrate specificity for retinoids and to be retinoid-inducible. In this study, we have examined the expression and retinoic acid (RA) inducibility of CYP26AI in human epidermis and cultured keratinocytes. We found very low levels of CYP26AI mRNA expression in both epidermis and keratinocytes. Furthermore, we found no evidence for RA inducibility of CYP26 mRNA expression. This lack of RA inducibility was not due to inactivity of the retinoids, as we show that transglutaminase was still repressed by RA in the same cultures. Despite the low levels of CYP26AI expression in the keratinocytes, the keratinocytes were still capable of significant RA metabolism. In conclusion, our study reports, for the first time, that CYP26AI is unlikely to contribute to RA metabolism in keratinocytes. These studies also indicate that as yet unknown isoforms of cytochrome P450 may be involved in RA metabolism in keratinocytes.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 July 2022.
All research outputs
#8,534,976
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from British Journal of Dermatology
#3,685
of 9,662 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#32,609
of 131,358 outputs
Outputs of similar age from British Journal of Dermatology
#118
of 337 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 9,662 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.6. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 131,358 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 337 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 7th percentile – i.e., 7% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
