The role of retinoic acids (RA) on liver fatty acid- binding protein (L-FABP) expression was investigated in the well differentiated FAO rat hepatoma cell line. 9-cis-Retinoic acid (9-ci's-RA) specifically enhanced L-FABP mRNA levels in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The higher induction was found 6 h after addition of 10 -6 M 9-CK-RA in the medium. RA also enhanced further both L-FABP mRNA levels and cytosolic L-FABP protein content induced by oleic acid. The retinoid X receptor (RXR) and the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR), which are known to be activated, respectively, by 9-c/s-RA and long chain fatty acid (LCFA), co-operated to bind specifically the peroxisome proliferator-responsive element (PPRE) found upstream of the L-FABP gene. Our result suggest that the PPAR-RXR complex is the molecular target by which 9-cis-RA and LCFA regulate the L-FABP gene. © 1997 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
