The prostate cancer (PCa) cell lines LNCaP, PC-3, and DU-145 express peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) but its role in PCa is unclear. Thiazolidinediones (TZDs), a family of PPARγ activators and type 2 anti-diabetic drugs, exhibit anti-tumor apoptotic effects in human PCa cell lines. Likewise, pharmacological inhibitors of fatty acid

Oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) causes activation and dysfunction of endothelial cells through NFκB activation after binding process of ox-LDL to LOX-1. One of ox-LDL components had been known as the activator of PPARγ. This study was done to see the effect of ox-LDL on NFκB and PPARγactivation and apoptosis of HUVEC’s culture.
