Retinoid-induced expression and activity of an immediate early tumor suppressor gene in vascular smooth muscle cells.

Retinoids are used clinically to treat a number of hyper-proliferative disorders and have been shown in experimental animals to attenuate vascular occlusive diseases, presumably through nuclear receptors bound to retinoic acid response elements (RARE) located in target genes.
