Developmental regulation and induction of cytochrome P450 2W1, an enzyme expressed in colon tumors.

PLoS ONE 10(4) , e0122820, (2015)

Cytochrome P450 2W1 (CYP2W1) is expressed predominantly in colorectal and also in hepatic tumors, whereas the levels are insignificant in the corresponding normal human adult tissues. CYP2W1 has been proposed as an attractive target for colorectal cancer (CRC...

Autonomous inhibition of apoptosis correlates with responsiveness of colon carcinoma cell lines to ciglitazone.

PLoS ONE 9(12) , e114158, (2014)

Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Resistance to therapy is common and often results in patients succumbing to the disease. The mechanisms of resistance are poorly understood. Cells basically have two possibilities to survive a treat...

Thiazolidinedione insulin sensitizers alter lipid bilayer properties and voltage-dependent sodium channel function: implications for drug discovery.

J. Gen. Physiol. 138(2) , 249-70, (2011)

The thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus type 2. Their canonical effects are mediated by activation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) transcription factor. In addition to effects mediated by gene a...

Ciglitazone, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma ligand, inhibits proliferation and differentiation of th17 cells.

Biomol. Ther. (Seoul) 23(1) , 71-6, (2015)

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) was identified as a cell-intrinsic regulator of Th17 cell differentiation. Th17 cells have been associated with several autoimmune diseases, including experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), in...

Alterations in cholesterol metabolism restrict HIV-1 trans infection in nonprogressors.

MBio 5(3) , e01031-13, (2014)

ABSTRACT HIV-1-infected nonprogressors (NP) inhibit disease progression for years without antiretroviral therapy. Defining the mechanisms for this resistance to disease progression could be important in determining strategies for controlling HIV-1 infection. ...

Proteome analysis identified the PPARγ ligand 15d-PGJ2 as a novel drug inhibiting melanoma progression and interfering with tumor-stroma interaction.

PLoS ONE 7(9) , e46103, (2012)

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) have been originally thought to be restricted to lipid metabolism or glucose homeostasis. Recently, evidence is growing that PPARγ ligands have inhibitory effects on tumor growth. To shed light on the potent...

Steroid receptor coactivator 1 deficiency increases MMTV-neu mediated tumor latency and differentiation specific gene expression, decreases metastasis, and inhibits response to PPAR ligands.

BMC Cancer 10 , 629, (2010)

The peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) subgroup of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily is activated by a variety of natural and synthetic ligands. PPARs can heterodimerize with retinoid X receptors, which have homology to other members of ...

Pigment epithelial-derived factor inhibits c-FLIP expression and assists ciglitazone-induced apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Anticancer Res. 31(4) , 1173-80, (2011)

Pigment epithelial-derived factor (PEDF) displays its antiangiogenicity by mechanisms partly involving suppression of the cellular FADD-like IL-1β-converting enzyme (FLICE)/caspase-8-inhibitory protein (c-FLIP) expression in endothelial cells. c-Jun NH(2)-ter...

Combined treatment with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma ligands and gamma radiation induces apoptosis by PPARγ-independent up-regulation of reactive oxygen species-induced deoxyribonucleic acid damage signals in non-small cell lung cancer cells.

Int. J. Radiat. Oncol. Biol. Phys. 85(5) , e239-48, (2013)

To investigate possible radiosensitizing activities of the well-known peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)γ ligand ciglitazone and novel PPARγ ligands CAY10415 and CAY10506 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells.Radiosensitivity was assessed...

Specific thiazolidinediones inhibit ovarian cancer cell line proliferation and cause cell cycle arrest in a PPARγ independent manner.

PLoS ONE 6(1) , e16179, (2011)

Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor gamma (PPARγ) agonists, such as the thiazolinediones (TZDs), have been studied for their potential use as cancer therapeutic agents. We investigated the effect of four TZDs--Rosiglitazone (Rosi), Ciglitazone (CGZ), T...
