Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-α Enhances Lipid Metabolism in a Skin Equivalent Model

, 2000
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors are involved in certain cell types such as adipocytes and hepatocytes, in the control of several pathways of lipid synthesis or catabolism by regulating the gene expression level of key lipid metabolizing ...

Pristanic acid and phytanic acid: naturally occurring ligands for the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α

Journal of Lipid Research, 2000
Phytanic acid and pristanic acid are branched-chain fatty acids, present at micromolar concentrations in the plasma of healthy individuals. Here we show that both phytanic acid and pristanic acid activate the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (

TWEAK/Fn14 Signaling Drives Oxidative Cardiac Injury in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Evidence From Patient Biomarker Studies, Lupus Mouse Models, and Cardiomyocyte Assays

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Cardiac involvement is a major cause of morbidity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Tumor necrosis factor–like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) is elevated in SLE, but its contribution to lupus‐associated cardiac injury is unclear. We investigated the role of TWEAK/fibroblast growth factor–inducible 14 (Fn14) signaling in SLE‐related ...

Topical rosiglitazone is an effective anti-scarring agent in the cornea

, 2013
Corneal scarring remains a major cause of blindness world-wide, with limited treatment options, all of which have side-effects. Here, we tested the hypothesis that topical application of Rosiglitazone, a Thiazolidinedione and ligand of peroxisome ...

The Nuclear Receptor Testicular Receptor 4 Orchestrates Cytoskeletal Organization in a G Protein Subunit Alpha 12/Rho‐Associated Protein Kinase–Dependent Manner to Promote Myofibroblast Differentiation and Tissue Fibrosis in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Members of the superfamily of nuclear receptors have been implicated in inflammatory processes and pathologic tissue remodeling and have emerged as attractive targets for pharmaceutical intervention. However, the role of testicular receptor 4 (TR4; or Nr2c2) in fibroblast activation and rheumatologic diseases has not yet been investigated ...

Kern-basierte Lernverfahren für das virtuelle Screening

, 2010
We investigate the utility of modern kernel-based machine learning methods for ligand-based virtual screening. In particular, we introduce a new graph kernel based on iterative graph similarity and optimal assignments, apply kernel principle component ...

Complex coordination of cell plasticity by a PGC-1α-controlled transcriptional network in skeletal muscle [PDF]

, 2015
Skeletal muscle cells exhibit an enormous plastic capacity in order to adapt to external stimuli. Even though our overall understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie phenotypic changes in skeletal muscle cells remains poor, several factors ...

From Inflammatory Bowel Disease to Cancer: Gut Microbiota–Immune Microenvironment Crosstalk and Natural Product‐Based Therapeutic Opportunities

Cancer Nexus, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), primarily Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, is a chronic relapsing inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract and an important risk factor for IBD‐associated cancer. Increasing evidence suggests that gut microbiota dysbiosis, epithelial barrier dysfunction, and immune microenvironment remodeling
