Evidence for Involvement of RAR in Myeloid Development

Vitamin A deficiency results in abnormal hematopoiesis18 19  
Retinoids preferentially stimulate granulopoiesis20 21  
RARα is expressed preferentially in myeloid cells27-29  
HL60 cells undergo differentiation with ATRA via RAR/RXR heterodimer stimulation69-71  
Wild-type and dominant negative RARα overexpression results in a differentiation block at the promyelocyte stage82,83 85  
RARα targets myeloid genes, of which C/EBP-ε is a model tar-

ATRA upregulates RARα94 
RARα upregulates p21 and decreases cell growth130 131  
Cross-talk between retinoid and IFN system to induce differentiation and halt cell growth145 146
