BACKGROUND: We have previously demonstrated that cigarette smoke is associated
with a significant reduction of retinoic acid in rat lungs and the formation of
tracheal precancerous lesions. However, the underlying mechanism of cancer risk
induced by vitamin A deficiency is unclear. The purpose of this study was to
determine whether the cigarette smoke-induced depletion of vitamin A is related
to changes in lung cancer risk-related molecular markers. RESULTS: We
investigated the roles of the retinoic acid receptors (RARs) as well as other
biomarkers for potential cancer risk in the lungs of rats exposed to cigarette
smoke. Twenty-four male weanling rats were fed a purified diet and divided
equally into four groups. Three experimental groups were exposed to increasing
doses of cigarette smoke from 20, 40 or 60 commercial cigarettes/day for 5
days/week. After 6 weeks, the retinoic acid concentrations in the lung tissue as
measured via high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) significantly
decreased (P?0.01) in cigarette smoke exposed groups. Western Blot analysis
revealed that cigarette smoke exposure increased lung protein expression of RAR ?
in a threshold manner and decreased RAR ? and RAR ? expression in a
dose-dependent fashion. Protein expressions of cyclin E and proliferating cell
nuclear antigen (PCNA) were increased significantly in a dose-dependent manner in
cigarette smoke exposed-groups. Additionally, there was a significant increase in
protein expression of cJun and cyclin D1 demonstrating a threshold effect similar
to that exhibited by RAR?, suggesting a potential independent signaling pathway
for RAR? in lung carcinogenesis. CONCLUSIONS: Findings from this study suggest
that cigarette smoke-induced lung retinoic acid depletion may involve two
independent pathways, RAR?- and RAR?-mediated, responsible for the increased
cancer risk associated with cigarette smoke-induced vitamin A deficiency.
