Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor γ as a Therapeutic Target in Human Breast Cancer
Objective: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is aberrantly expressed in most breast tumors, suggesting the potential of agents that target this receptor in treatment and chemoprevention of breast cancer. However, whether PPARγ leads to the promotion or reduction of tumor formation has remained controversial and is further complicated by the ability of its available thiazolidi...
متن کاملPeroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ as a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of preeclampsia.
Preeclampsia is a multisystemic disorder of pregnancy characterized by hypertension, proteinuria, and maternal endothelial dysfunction. It is a major cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality and is thought to be attributable, in part, to inadequate trophoblast invasion. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) is a ligand-activated transcription factor expressed in t...
متن کاملPeroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Alpha Target Genes
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) is a ligand-activated transcription factor involved in the regulation of a variety of processes, ranging from inflammation and immunity to nutrient metabolism and energy homeostasis. PPARα serves as a molecular target for hypolipidemic fibrates drugs which bind the receptor with high affinity. Furthermore, PPARα binds and is activated...
متن کاملPeroxisome proliferator-activated receptors: a therapeutic target in COPD?
Extrapulmonary pathology significantly impairs clinical outcome in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are implicated in the regulation of several hallmarks of systemic COPD pathology, including cachexia, decreased oxidative muscle metabolism, oxidative stress and systemic inflammation. Recently, expression of PPARs and related c...
متن کاملRole of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-γ in Vascular Inflammation
Vascular inflammation plays a crucial role in atherosclerosis, and its regulation is important to prevent cerebrovascular and coronary artery disease. The inflammatory process in atherogenesis involves a variety of immune cells including monocytes/macrophages, lymphocytes, dendritic cells, and neutrophils, which all express peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ). PPAR-γ is a nucl...
