Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma activators inhibit cardiac hypertrophy in cardiac myocytes.
BACKGROUND Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are transcription factors belonging to the nuclear receptor superfamily. PPARgamma mRNA is present in cardiac myocytes; however, whether PPARgamma affects cardiac hypertrophy remains unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS We investigated the effects of PPARgamma activators on cardiac hypertrophy in neonatal rat cardiac myocytes. Cyclic 4% b...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are transcription factors belonging to the nuclear receptor superfamily. Recently, PPAR activators have been shown to inhibit the production of proinflammatory cytokines in macrophages or vascular smooth muscle cells. It has been reported that tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) expression is elevated in the failing heart and that TNF-alph...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) is a ligand-activated transcription factor belonging to the nuclear receptor superfamily, which plays a central role in regulating lipid and glucose metabolism. However, accumulating evidence demonstrates that PPARγ agonists have potential to reduce inflammation, influence the balance of immune cells, suppress oxidative stress, and improve en...
متن کاملPeroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor- and Receptor- Activators Prevent Cardiac Fibrosis in Mineralocorticoid-Dependent Hypertension
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) activation may prevent cardiac hypertrophy and inhibit production of endothelin-1 (ET-1), a hypertrophic agent. The aim of this in vivo study was to investigate the effects of PPAR activators on cardiac remodeling in DOCA-salt rats, a model overexpressing ET-1. Unilaterally nephrectomized 16-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats (Uni-Nx) were randomly di...
متن کاملDifferential Roles of Cardiomyocyte and Macrophage Peroxisome Proliferator–Activated Receptor γ in Cardiac Fibrosis
OBJECTIVE Cardiac fibrosis is an important component of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) ligands repress proinflammatory gene expression, including that of osteopontin, a known contributor to the development of myocardial fibrosis. We thus investigated the hypothesis that PPARgamma ligands could attenuate cardiac fibrosis. RESEARCH DESIGN A...
