Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of all-trans retinoic acid(ATRA)on level of mRNA and protein expression levels in malignant melanoma A375 cells in vitro.
Methods VEGF-B mRNA and VEGF protein expression levels in A375 cells were measured by real-time PCR and ELISA,respectively.
Results ATRA decreased the VEGF-B mRNA and VEGF protein expression levels in supernatant of cultured A375 cells(P<0.05).
Conclusion ATRA decreases the VEGF-B mRNA and VEGF protein expression levels in A375 cells in a dose-dependent manner.
