چکیده

in this presentation, we review briefly on biogenesis of peroxisomes with regard to the recent findings on biogenesis. peroxisomes perform a range of various functions as oxidation of very long chain fatty acids, generation and removal of hydrogen peroxide, while peroxisomes have also been implicated in β-oxidation of aromatic and cyclic compounds, synthesis of plasmalogens, isoprenoids, lysine and glycine betaine, metabolism of purines and pyrimidines, and catabolism of polyamines, d-amino acids and methanol.  moreover peroxisomes are participated in signaling and developmental pathways. disruption of those functions in human leads to severe disorders, mainly cause death several weeks after the birth. peroxisome biogenesis disorders (pbds) are caused by defects in import of peroxisome matrix proteins and biosynthesis of peroxisomal membrane proteins.  thus the proper function of peroxisome needs a well performance of a series of events that result in correct biogenesis and assembly of peroxisome. a number of genes have been identified which are responsible for peroxisome biogenesis termed pex genes which encoded functional proteins (pex) required for the event of peroxisome formation in the cells. thirty two pex genes have so far been identified. among these genes, pex11β, a peroxisomal membrane elongation factor, is involved in regulation of size, shape and number of peroxisomes. to investigate role of pex11β in neural differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (mescs), we generated a stably transduced mescs line that derives expression of a shrna against pex11β gene following doxycycline (dox) induction. knock-down of pex11β, during neural differentiation, significantly reduced expression of neural progenitor cells (npcs) and mature neuronal markers. interestingly, pretreatment of the cell with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (pparγ) agonist (pioglitazone) ameliorated the inhibitory effects of pex11β knock down on neural differentiation. pioglitazone also significantly increased expression of neural progenitor and mature neuronal markers besides the expression of peroxisomal genes in transduced mesc. the observation that pioglitazone recovered peroxisomal function, improved neural differentiation of pex11β knocked-down mescs, proposes a potential new pharmacological implication of pioglitazone for neurogenesis in patients with peroxisomal defects.

Peroxisome 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...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors: from genes to physiology.

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARalpha, gamma, delta) are members of the nuclear receptor superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors that have central roles in the storage and catabolism of fatty acids. Although the three PPAR subtypes are closely related and bind to similar DNA response elements as heterodimers with the 9-cis retinoic acid receptor RXR, each subs...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors and cardiovascular remodeling.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear receptors that heterodimerize with the retinoid X receptor and then modulate the function of many target genes. Three PPARs are known: alpha, beta/delta, and gamma. The better known are PPAR-alpha and PPAR-gamma, which may be activated by different synthetic agonists, although the endogenous ligands are unknown. PPAR-alpha is invol...

Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors and Lipoprotein Metabolism

Plasma lipoproteins are responsible for carrying triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood and ensuring their delivery to target organs. Regulation of lipoprotein metabolism takes place at numerous levels including via changes in gene transcription. An important group of transcription factors that mediates the effect of dietary fatty acids and certain drugs on plasma lipoproteins are the perox...

Fibrates, glitazones, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors.

Several decades ago, fibrates were approved for the treatment of dyslipidemia, whereas thiazolidinediones were screened in animal models to improve glucose homeostasis and were subsequently developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Relatively recently, these drugs were found to act via peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors, nuclear receptors that control lipid metabolism an...
