The antiproliferative effects of vitamin D on a breast tumour cell line persist despite knockdown of the vitamin D receptor gene, and variants resistant to these anti-proliferative effects do not show changes in known vitamin D signaling pathway genes.
Retinoic acid enhances skeletal myogenesis in stem cells by activating mesodermal and muscle progenitor genes and beta-catenin, and inhibits cardiomyogenesis by downregulating BMP4 signaling.
c-myc knockout mice have slower alveolar cell proliferation in the mammary gland during pregnancy and less efficient translation of mRNAs involved in milk production, showing c-Myc to be important for pregnancy and lactation in mice.
