Abstract
Cellular binding-proteins (BP), including CRBP1, CRBP2, CRABP1, CRABP2, and FABP5, shepherd the poorly aqueous soluble retinoids during uptake, metabolism and function. Holo-BP promote efficient use of retinol, a scarce but essential nutrient throughout evolution, by sheltering it and its major metabolite all-trans-retinoic acid from adventitious interactions with the cellular milieu, and by imposing specificity of delivery to enzymes, nuclear receptors and other partners. Apo-BP reflect cellular retinoid status and modify activities of retinoid metabolon enzymes, or exert non-canonical actions. High ligand binding affinities and the nature of ligand sequestration necessitate external factors to prompt retinoid release from holo-BP. One or more of cross-linking, kinetics, and colocalization have identified these factors as RDH, RALDH, CYP26, LRAT, RAR and PPARβ/δ. Michaelis-Menten and other kinetic approaches verify that BP channel retinoids to select enzymes and receptors by protein-protein interactions. Function of the BP and enzymes that constitute the retinoid metabolon depends in part on retinoid exchanges unique to specific pairings. The complexity of these exchanges configure retinol metabolism to meet the diverse functions of all-trans-retinoic acid and its ability to foster contrary outcomes in different cell types, such as inducing apoptosis, differentiation or proliferation. Altered BP expression affects retinoid function, for example, by impairing pancreas development resulting in abnormal glucose and energy metabolism, promoting predisposition to breast cancer, and fostering more severe outcomes in prostate cancer, ovarian adenocarcinoma, and glioblastoma. Yet, the extent of BP interactions with retinoid metabolon enzymes and their impact on retinoid physiology remains incompletely understood.

Abstract
Small intestinal lamina propria (SI-LP) CD103(+) dendritic cells (DCs) are imprinted with an ability to metabolize vitamin A (retinol), a property underlying their enhanced capacity to induce the gut-homing receptors CC chemokine receptor-9 and α4β7 on responding T cells. In this study, we demonstrate that imprinting of CD103(+) DCs is itself critically dependent on vitamin A and occurs locally within the small intestine (SI). The major vitamin A metabolite retinoic acid (RA) induced retinol-metabolizing activity in DCs both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting a direct role for RA in this process. Consistent with this, SI-LP CD103(+) DCs constitutively received RA signals in vivo at significantly higher levels than did colonic CD103(+) DCs. Remarkably, SI CD103(+) DCs remained imprinted in mice depleted of dietary but not of systemic retinol. We found that bile contained high levels of retinol, induced RA receptor-dependent retinol-metabolizing activity in bone marrow-derived DCs, and imprinted these cells with the ability to generate gut-tropic T cells. Taken together, these results suggest a novel and unexpected role for bile in SI-LP CD103(+) DC imprinting.

Abstract
Cellular retinoic acid-binding protein levels were determined in the skin and testes of normal and retinol-deficient rats. All-trans [3H]retinoic acid (1.1 TBq/mmol) was used to titrate the specific binding sites in tissue cytosol preparations. Scatchard plot analyses were used to determine the concentration of cellular retinoic acid-binding protein and its binding affinity (Kd) for all-trans-retinoic acid. In normal rat skin the concentration of cellular retinoic acid-binding protein was 3317 +/- 924 (SD) fmol/mg protein and the Kd was 1.98 +/- 1.0 x 10(-9) mol/l. In retinol-deficient rat skin the concentration of cellular retinoic acid-binding protein was 2584 +/- 1205 fmol/mg protein and the Kd was 3.30 +/- 3.4 x 10(-9) mol/l. In the normal rat testes the concentration of cellular retinoic acid-binding protein was 2965 +/- 1187 fmol/mg protein and the Kd was 2.30 +/- 2.1 x 10(-9) mol/l. In retinol-deficient rat testes the concentration of cellular retinoic acid-binding protein was 2439 +/- 383 fmol/mg protein and the Kd was 0.3 +/- 0.2 x 10(-9) mol/l. These findings indicate that there are no significant differences in the levels of cellular retinoic acid-binding protein between normal and deficient rat skin and testes (p greater than 0.1, by Wilcoxon rank sum test). We therefore conclude that the level of cellular retinoic acid-binding protein in skin and testes may not be controlled by the availability of vitamin A.

Abstract
The retinol and retinyl ester concentrations in human xenografted squamous cell carcinomas, with various concentrations of cellular retinol-binding protein (CRBP), were studied, as well as the in vivo uptake and esterification in these tumours of labelled retinol, presented as a complex with plasma RBP. The mean retinol concentration in the different tumours was in the range 3.7-6.2 nmol/g protein, and the mean CRBP concentration was between 16 and 69 nmol/g protein. There was a statistically significant correlation between the retinol and the CRBP concentrations in the same tumour (P less than 0.001; r = 0.622). Calculation of the maximal extent of retinol-saturation of CRBP showed low values (range: 9-26%). Retinyl palmitate, the predominant retinyl ester, comprised approx. 70% of the retinyl esters in the tumours. There was no correlation between the concentration of CRBP and that of retinyl palmitate. The uptake of [3H]retinol from intravenously injected retinol-RBP complex was similar in the four human squamous cell carcinomas studied, and not related to their CRBP concentration. 20% of the radioactivity in tumour specimens was lipid soluble, as compared to 96% in liver specimens, showing that in the former a higher fraction metabolised to polar compounds. Taken together, our results suggest that in these squamous carcinoma cells, factors other than cellular CRBP content are the major determinants of net cellular uptake and esterification of retinol. The cellular retinol concentration, on the other hand, appears proportional to CRBP content.

Abstract
The levels of vitamin A (retinol) and vitamin E were measured in the blood, in tissues of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and in adjacent liver parenchyma. The median values of vitamin A were 11.5 micrograms/g (ranging 0-82.5 micrograms/g) in HCC and 52.1 micrograms/g (ranging 0.4-895.2 micrograms/g) in normal liver tissues; the difference was statistically significant (p less than 0.05). By contrast, there was no significant difference in vitamin E levels between the two tissues. Although the levels of vitamin A were significantly lower in HCC in 10 patients, no significant difference was noted in the cellular retinol binding protein levels in the normal and malignant tissues. These results suggest that the decreased levels of vitamin A in HCC are not due to altered cellular retinol binding protein levels in tumors and the different vitamin A blood supply system. We conclude that either the decreased uptake of vitamin A, but not vitamin E, by HCC cells or the lack of vitamin A-storing cells in tumors might be responsible for the low levels of vitamin A in HCC.

Abstract
We have examined whether the amount of cellular retinol-binding protein in human liver is related to the amount of vitamin A stored in the liver. Levels of vitamin A, as retinol and retinol esters, and of cellular retinol-binding protein have been determined in liver samples from 6 normal adults and 11 children with biliary atresia, with and without vitamin A treatment. The level of cellular retinol-binding protein in the liver was not related to the liver vitamin A concentration examined over a 300-fold range of vitamin A levels. Also, biliary atresia did not appear to interfere with storage of vitamin A, and the level of cellular retinol-binding protein was comparable to that observed in the liver of normal adults. The demonstration of proper vitamin A storage in treated children as well as normal levels of cellular retinol-binding protein suggest the vitamin A deficiency frequently observed in children with biliary atresia may be due primarily to faulty absorption rather than a combination of poor absorption and impaired hepatic vitamin A metabolism.

Abstract
Cellular retinol-binding protein, cellular retinoic acid-binding protein, and fetal cellular retinol-binding protein were purified to homogeneity and each polypeptide had a molecular weight of 16,000. Their apoproteins were not phosphorylated under the same conditions. Their holoproteins did not inhibit the phosphorylation of histone III-S by protein kinase C. Each of these observations is contrary to the results reported by Cope et al. (Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 120, 593-601, 1984).

Abstract
Cytoplasmic vitamin A-binding proteins were measured by a method using centrifugation of gel-exclusion columns and compared to the sucrose gradient method. The gel-exclusion method analyzed 18 samples simultaneously on one table-top centrifuge, while the sucrose gradient method required use of three ultracentrifuges to process 18 samples simultaneously. Multiple 2-min low-speed centrifugations of test cytosol applied to miniature molecular-sieving columns was a faster (1/2 the working time for 18 samples), more convenient, and more accurate method for measuring cytoplasmic vitamin A-binding proteins than was the sucrose gradient method. Using the same cytosol and [3H]retinoid preparations, the rapid gel-exclusion method results were only slightly lower than those obtained by radioimmunoassay but 50% higher than the values obtained by the sucrose gradient assay. The methodology described may be useful not only for cytoplasmic vitamin A-binding proteins but also for other similar binding protein assays.

Abstract
Swine tracheal epithelium has been cultured as explants in a chemically defined medium for periods of up to 2 wk. The viability of the explants was shown by the preservation of the ultrastructural features of cells in the epithelial layer and by the active incorporation of radioactive glucosamine and sulfate into secreted mucin glycoproteins. The rate of secretion of mucin glycoprotein was about 0.035 mg per cm2 per d. After initial 24 h lag period was shown to be due to the equilibration of intracellular mucin glycoprotein pools with radioactive precursors. The rate of secretion of glycoprotein showed a linear dependence on the area of the explant, and maximal incorporation was observed at 200 microM glucosamine. A higher concentration of 35SO4, 1000 microM, was required for maximal incorporation of the precursor. Insulin at 0.1 to 1 microgram/ml increased the rate of secretion twofold, whereas 0.1 to 100 micrograms/ml of hydrocortisone and 0.1 to 100 micrograms/ml of epinephrine significantly decreased the rate of secretion. Vitamin A had little or no effect of normal trachea explants at low concentrations, and, at higher concentrations, 10(-5) M, it decreased the secretion of mucin glycoproteins. Vitamin A, at a concentration of 10(-9) M, increased the rate of synthesis of glycoprotein at least fourfold in trachea explants from vitamin A-deficient rats. Mucus secretions collected from the surface of swine trachea and from the culture medium of trachea explants were purified. The mucus was solubilized by reduction and carboxymethylation, and the high molecular weight mucin glycoproteins were purified by chromatography on Sepharose CL-6B columns under dissociating conditions in 2 M guanidine HCl. The mucin glycoproteins purified from swine trachea and from the culture medium of trachea explants were virtually indistinguishable. They showed the same properties when examined by gel electrophoresis and immunoprecipitation. The purified glycoproteins contained about 25% protein, and serine, threonine, and proline were the principal amino acids present. More than 80% of the carbohydride chains in both samples were released by treatment with alkaline borohydride. Nearly the same molar ratio of N-acetylgalactosamine, N-acetylglucosamine, galactose, fucose, sulfate, and sialic acid was found in both preparations.

Abstract
Cellular retinol (CRBP) and retinoic acid binding proteins (CRABP) were measured in normal (C57Bl) and Murine Mammary Tumor Virus (MuMTV)-induced murine mammary tumor cells (C57BlfRIII) grown in monolayer culture. High speed supernatant fractions (cytosols) from transformed cells contained elevated levels of CRBP and CRABP (0.276 and 1.410 pmol/mg protein, respectively) compared to cytosol from non-transformed murine mammary cells which contained only low levels of CRBP (0.099 pmol/mg protein). Our findings suggest that malignant transformation of mammary epithelial cells, induced by MuMTV infection, results in changes in the expression of cellular retinoid binding proteins and possibly in the sensitivity of these cells to various retinoids.

Abstract
Retinol (vitamin A alcohol) is involved in the proper differentiation of epithelia. The mechanism of this involvement is unknown. We have previously reported that purified cellular retinol-binding (CRBP) will mediate specific binding of retinol to nuclei isolated from rat liver. We now report that pure CRBP delivers retinol to the specific nuclear binding sites without itself remaining bound. Triton X-100-treated nuclei retain the majority of these binding sites. CRBP is also capable of delivering retinol specifically to isolated chromatin with no apparent loss of binding sites, as compared to whole nuclei. CRBP again does not remain bound after transferring retinol to the chromatin binding sites. When isolated nuclei are incubated with [3H]retinol-CRBP, sectioned, and autoradiographed, specifically bound retinol is found distributed throughout the nuclei. Thus, CRBP delivers retinol to the interior of the nucleus, to specific binding sites which are primarily, if not solely, on the chromatin. The binding of retinol to these sites may affect gene expression.

Abstract
Cellular retinol-binding protein and cellular retinoic-acid-binding protein, canditates for mediating the action of vitamin A, were found to be present in tissues of the fetal rat. Cellular retinol-binding proteins were still present in most tissues of the adult, but the retinoic-acid-binding protein was not detected in some, including lung, liver, intestine, and kidney. During perinatal development of lung the level of cellular retinol-binding protein remained relatively constant while the level of the cellular retinoic-acid-binding protein peaked at 10 days postnatally, then declined. It was not detectable in lung tissue from 21-day-old rats. In liver, however, the retinoic-acid-binding protein was not detectable later than 5 days postnatally, while the level of the cellular retinol-binding proteinrose sharply near birth, declining only after 21 days to the lower adult levels. The variations observed in the levels of the two binding proteins suggest different and changing requirements for retinol and retinoic acid in organ development and maturation.
