Although congenital scoliosis is defined as a genetic disease characterized by a congenital and abnormal curvature of the spinal vertebrae, our knowledge of the genetic underpinnings of the disease is insufficient. We herein show that the downregulation of the retinol‐retinoic acid metabolism pathway is involved in the pathogenesis of congenital scoliosis. By analyzing DNA microarray data, we found that the expression levels of genes associated with the retinol metabolism pathway were decreased in the lumbar spine of Ishibashi rats (IS), a rat model of congenital kyphoscoliosis. The expression of Adh1 and Aldh1a2 (alcohol dehydrogenase), two enzymes that convert retinol to retinoic acid in this pathway, were decreased at both the gene and protein levels. Rarα, a receptor of retinoic acid and bone morphogenetic protein 2, which play a central role in bone formation and are located downstream of this pathway, were also downregulated. Interestingly, the serum retinol levels of IS rats were higher than those of wild‐type control rats. These results indicate that the adequate conversion from retinol to retinoic acid is extremely important in the regulation of normal bone formation and it may also be a key factor for understanding the pathogenesis of congenital scoliosis.
