ABSTRACT

There are a number of sites that are required for the production and/or action of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA). In particular, interruption of different components of the chain of trafficking and metabolism has been associated with cancers arising in numerous organs of the body. Preliminary work suggests that such interruptions may be a factor in lung disorders induced by the smoke exposure. The active metabolite of retinoid, ATRA offers a therapeutic strategy to protect against functional abnormality in the lung, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This review deals with the lung retinoid metabolism and mediators of retinoid trafficking and signaling with special emphasis on their roles in health and disease.

ABSTRACT

Los retinoides son muy eficaces en el tratamiento de diversas enfermedades cutáneas que se presentan en niños, como psoriasis, acné e ictiosis. Sus efectos adversos potenciales limitan su uso, especialmente en la población pediátrica. Revisamos la eficacia y riesgos de la terapia con retinoides orales en niños y adolescentes. La toxicidad mucocutánea es el efecto adverso más frecuente, siendo generalmente bien tolerada, fácilmente tratable y reversible al discontinuar el tratamiento. Los efectos adversos sistémicos más graves incluyen la teratogenicidad y los efectos musculoesqueléticos, neurológicos y del sistema gastrointestinal. La educación y control de los pacientes pueden minimizar la ocurrencia de complicaciones.
