Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonists (PPARs): a promising prospect in the treatment of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis [PDF]
Psoriasis is a polygenic, inflammatory and progressive disease, characterized by an abnormal differentiation and hyperproliferation of keratinocytes, associated with impaired immunologic activation and systemic disorders, while psoriatic arthritis is a ...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1 coactivators, energy homeostasis, and metabolism [PDF]
Many biological programs are regulated at the transcriptional level. This is generally achieved by the concerted actions of several transcription factors. Recent findings have shown that, in many cases, transcriptional coactivators coordinate the overall

Peroxisome 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 ...

Profiling of promoter occupancy by PPARalpha in human hepatoma cells via ChIP-chip analysis [PDF]
The transcription factor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) is an important regulator of hepatic lipid metabolism. While PPARalpha is known to activate transcription of numerous genes, no comprehensive picture of PPARalpha ...

Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor alpha (PPAR alpha) down-regulation in cystic fibrosis lymphocytes [PDF]
Background: PPARs exhibit anti-inflammatory capacities and are potential modulators of the inflammatory response. We hypothesized that their expression and/or function may be altered in cystic fibrosis (CF), a disorder characterized by an excessive host ...

Regulation of skeletal muscle cell plasticity by the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1alpha [PDF]
Exercise triggers a pleiotropic response in skeletal muscle, which results in a profound remodeling of this tissue. Physical activity-dependent muscle fiber plasticity is regulated by a number of distinct signaling pathways.

Crosstalk between Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors andToll-Like Receptors: A Systematic Review [PDF]
As one of the four major families of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), toll like receptors (TLRs)are crucial and important components of the innate immune system. Peroxisome proliferatoractivatedreceptors (PPARs) with three isoforms are transcription
