Nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and retinoid X receptors (RXRs) are thought to mediate most of the effects of retinoids on cell growth and differentiation. Despite expressing abundant levels of RAR beta mRNA, lung adenocarcinoma H1792 cells are resistant to the growth-inhibitory effects of all-trans-retinoic acid, suggesting that they have a defect in retinoid signaling. To determine whether transfection of exogenous receptors can restore retinoid responsiveness, we transiently transfected into H1792 cells coexpression vectors containing cDNAs of cell surface antigen CD7 and either RAR alpha, RAR beta, RAR gamma, or RXR alpha. The cells were then treated with retinoids and incubated with 5'-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine. Cells that express exogenous receptor were identified using antibodies against CD7, and cells that synthesized DNA were identified with anti-5'-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine antibodies using secondary antibodies with red and green fluorescence, respectively. RXR alpha and RAR alpha enhanced growth inhibition by all-trans-retinoic acid or 9-cis-retinoic acid, whereas RAR gamma was less effective, and RAR beta was ineffective. The effects of the transfected receptors were associated with antagonism of activator protein 1 (AP-1) activity. Studies with RXR alpha deletion and point mutants indicated that growth suppression is: (a) dependent on intact DNA-binding and ligand-binding regions but not on the NH2-terminal region, which contains a ligand-independent transactivation function; (b) dependent on RXR homodimer formation and transactivation of RXR response element; and (c) associated with AP-1 antagonism. These results demonstrate that transfected receptors can restore responsiveness to retinoids by antagonizing AP-1 in H1792 cells.
