Stimulation of RAR α and γ mRNA in LNCaP cells by T differed from that in normal rat prostate and non-tumorigenic rat prostate epithelial cells (NRP-152), but was comparable to that in tumorigenic rat prostate epithelial cells (NRP-154) [ 13 14 ] . In cervical carcinoma cells, the RAR β gene was abnormally down-regulated by RA [ 36 ] . In ER positive human breast cancer cells, RAR α mRNA was also up-regulated by estrogen [ 16 ] . Thus, T stimulation of RAR mRNAs in LNCaP cells could be related to the pathologic state of the cells.

Previously reported microarray studies of female Rett and unrelated control brain samples revealed expression changes that were interpreted as secondary to the disease process, such as increased expression of glial-specific genes and decreased expression of neuronal genes [ 25 ] .
