TLDR
Evidence indicates that the phenotypic changes that accompany retinoic acid treatment of embryonal carcinoma cells are irreversible and a consequence of the differentiation of the cells into endoderm.

Hormonal induction of differentiation in teratocarcinoma stem cells: generation of parietal endoderm by retinoic acid and dibutyryl cAMP.

TL;DR: The cell type generated by retinoic acid and dibutyryl cAMP treatment is therefore indistinguishable from definitive parietal endoderm, and analysis of the final phenotype indicates that it is not dependent upon the continued presence of either compound, and that cAMP agents are active only on cells that have been treated with retinoi acid.

Preimplantation Human Embryos and Embryonic Stem Cells Show Comparable Expression of Stage‐Specific Embryonic Antigens

TL;DR: It is shown that human ES cells are characterized by the expression of the cell‐surface antigens, SSEA3, S SEA4, TRA‐1‐60, and TRA‐ 1‐81, and by the lack of SSEA1, and that inner cell mass cells of the human blastocyst express a similar antigen profile, in contrast to the corresponding Cells of the mouse embryo.

Cell interactions modulate embryonal carcinoma cell differentiation into parietal or visceral endoderm

TL;DR: If F9 EC cultures are treated with retinoic acid when they are in the form of small aggregates, they differentiate on the outer surface cells which morphologically resemble visceral rather than parietal endoderm, and it is believed that F9EC cells may be even more useful than previously supposed for biochemical studies on factors controlling gene expression during mammalian embryogenesis.

Epidermal growth factor receptors.

TL;DR: There is ample evidence that EGF binds to the receptor; that ligand-receptor complexes cluster or aggregate; and then are internalized and degraded, but evidence for a direct connection between internalization and the subsequent mitogenic response is lacking, and an alternative model is suggested.

Immunohistochemical localization of the early embryonic antigen (SSEA-1) in postimplantation mouse embryos and fetal and adult tissues.

TL;DR: In adult mice, the epithelium of the oviduct, the endometrium, and the epididymis are the cells most reactive with the monoclonal antibody to SSEA-1; although some areas of the brain and kidney tubules are weakly positive.

Tissue changes following deprivation of fat-soluble a vitamin

TL;DR: The specific tissue changes which follow the deprivation of fat-soluble vitamin A in albino white rats and in the human concerns epithelial tissues are described and it is concluded that the deficiency results in loss of specific (chemical) functions of the epitheliums concerned, while the power of growth becomes augmented.

The induction of differentiation in teratocarcinoma stem cells by retinoic acid

TL;DR: Using one embryonal carcinoma cell line, F9, it is found that retinoic acid at concentrations as low as 10(-9) M induces multiple phenotypic changes in the cultures in vitro, which are consistent with the proposition that retinosic acid induces differentiation of embryonal cancer cells into endoderm.

Monoclonal antibody defining a stage-specific mouse embryonic antigen (SSEA-1).

TL;DR: A monoclonal antibody derived by fusion of mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a mouse immunized with F9 teratocarcinoma cells is described, which defines an embryonic stage-specific antigen.

Prevention of chemical carcinogenesis by vitamin A and its synthetic analogs (retinoids).

TL;DR: An approach to chemoprevention of common forms of epithelial cancer, during the period of preneoplasia, is described and the potential future usefulness of this approach to cancer prevention in man will depend on further synthetic modification of the retinoid molecule.

Alkaline phosphatase activity in mouse teratoma.

TL;DR: The embryonal carcinoma enzyme resembles the enzymes from kidney and placenta in kinetics of thermal inactivation and sensitivity to the inhibitor L-phenylalanine, but is distinguishable from the alkaline phosphatases of liver and intestine.
