We have previously shown that oral treatment of pregnant mice with all-transretinoic acid (RA) at doses which cause 100% fetal dysmorphogenesis results in a rapid elevation in the mRNA of one specific isoform of the RA receptor-β, RAR-β2, in susceptible embryonic regions. To further investigate the involvement of RAR-β2 mRNA in teratogenesis, we have examined its expression in mouse embryos exposed to marginal/nonteratogenic and teratogenic dosing regimens of both 13-cisRA and all-transRA. We have found that the mere elevation in embryonic RAR-β2 mRNA levels and free retinoid levels is not sufficient to result in dysmorphogenesis. Rather, retinoid-induced dysmorphogenesis of embryos appears to occur only when RAR-β2 mRNA and unbound retinoid levels remain elevated for at least 6–9 h following retinoid treatment resulting in a significant and prolonged elevation in RAR-β protein levels.
