PPARγ Activates Autophagy by Suppressing the PI3K–AKT1–FOXO3 Signaling Pathway and thus Alleviates Hepatic Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury

The Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology
Background/Aims: Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) refers to the damage caused by metabolic imbalance post-ischemia upon reperfusion, often occurring in scenarios like hemorrhagic shock, liver resection, and liver transplantation.

Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor Gamma Sensitizes Non-small Cell Lung Carcinoma to Gamma Irradiation Induced Apoptosis

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019
The nuclear receptors known as peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPARG) are lipid-activated transcription factors that have emerged as key regulators of inflammation. PPARG ligands have been shown to have an anti-proliferative effect on a

New role for the anandamide metabolite prostaglandin F2α ethanolamide: Rolling preadipocyte proliferation

Journal of Lipid Research, 2023
White adipose tissue regulation is key to metabolic health, yet still perplexing. The chief endocannabinoid anandamide metabolite, prostaglandin F2α ethanolamide (PGF2αEA), inhibits adipogenesis, that is, the formation of mature adipocytes.

Nanotherapies for Atherosclerosis: Targeting, Catalysis, and Energy Transduction

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Atherosclerosis management is hindered by poor drug targeting and plaque heterogeneity. Nanotechnology overcomes these barriers via three core strategies: (1) target‐engineered nanocarriers that achieve lesion‐specific precision via ligand modification, biomimetic camouflage, stimuli‐responsive release, and self‐propelling nanomotors; (2) catalytic ...

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 ...

Pre‐Encoded IFN‐I Sensitivity Exacerbates Memory T Cell Senescence in Solid Tumors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Type I interferon (IFN‐I) signaling promotes p21‐dependent cell cycle arrest in senescent tumor‐specific memory T cells, resulting in poor proliferative responses and solid tumor regression during cancer vaccination. Conversely, IFNα/β receptor blockade reinvigorates T cell proliferation to regress solid tumors and is more effective with increasing ...

A structural mechanism for directing corepressor-selective inverse agonism of PPARγ

Nature Communications, 2018
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a target for insulin sensitizing drugs. Here the authors combine NMR, X-ray crystallography and MD simulations and report a structural mechanism for eliciting PPARγ inverse agonism, where ...

ELABELA Targets Mitochondria to Modulate Heart Development

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The role of peptide ELABELA (ELA) in cardiomyocyte apoptosis and congenital heart disease (CHD) is unclear. ELA deficiency caused cardiomyocyte apoptosis and CHD. A novel ELA‐APJ‐AKT‐BCL2/BAX axis in regulating mitochondrial function and contributing to CHD pathogenesis was established.

The role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma in prostate cancer

Asian Journal of Andrology, 2018
Despite great progress in the detection and treatment of prostate cancer, this disease remains an incredible health and economic burden. Although androgen receptor (AR) signaling plays a key role in the development and progression of prostate cancer ...
