Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors as therapeutic targets in inflammation.
For decades, advances in endocrinology were characterized by a process in which hormones were first identified based upon their physiologic roles and then purified, often from vast quantities of biologic material. This purified material was then used to identify the receptors through which the hormone signaled. In this classic progression, science moved from physiology to cellular signaling. Mo...
متن کاملPeroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors in Lung Cancer
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are ligand-activated transcription factors belonging to the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily. Their discovery in the 1990s provided insights into the cellular mechanisms involved in the control of energy homeostasis; the regulation of cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis; and the modulation of important biological and patholo...
متن کاملPeroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptors
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are members of the ligand-activated nuclear hormone receptor superfamily of transcription factors that includes receptors for steroids, thyroid hormone, retinoic acid, and vitamin D. Upon activation in the cytoplasm, PPARs heterodimerize with retinoid X receptors (RXR) and form a complex that translocates to the nucleus and regulates gene expr...
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...
