Since retinoic acid receptor (RAR)-beta mRNA is frequently lost during esophageal carcinogenesis and esophageal cancer cells that do not express RAR-beta are resistant to retinoic acid (RA), we stably transfected RAR-beta expression vector into an esophageal cancer cell line TE-8 and an antisense RAR-beta into TE-3 cells. Transfection of RAR-beta decreased cell growth and colony formation and induced apoptosis in TE-8 cells. Antisense RAR-beta-transfected TE-3 cells had a shorter doubling time and became resistant to RA. Induction of RAR-beta decreased COX-2 expression in RAR-beta transfected TE-8 cells, whereas antisense RAR-beta transfected TE-3 cells increased COX-2 expression. The inhibitory effect of RAR-beta on COX-2 expression was further enhanced in the presence of RA, which was blocked by an RAR antagonist. The synthetic retinoid N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide, which does not bind effectively to RAR-beta, had no effect on COX-2 suppression. Furthermore, RA blocked bile acid-induced COX-2 expression and prostaglandin E(2) production only in the RAR-beta positive cells. Our data demonstrated that anticancer effect of RAR-beta may be related to its ability to suppress COX-2 expression and support that the loss of RAR-beta expression may contribute to esophageal carcinogenesis.
