Role of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor γ in Ocular Diseases
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR γ), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, is a ligand-activated transcription factor that plays an important role in the control of a variety of physiological processes. The last decade has witnessed an increasing interest for the role played by the agonists of PPAR γ in antiangiogenesis, antifibrosis, anti-inflammation effects and in c...
متن کاملRole of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-γ in Vascular Inflammation
Vascular inflammation plays a crucial role in atherosclerosis, and its regulation is important to prevent cerebrovascular and coronary artery disease. The inflammatory process in atherogenesis involves a variety of immune cells including monocytes/macrophages, lymphocytes, dendritic cells, and neutrophils, which all express peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ). PPAR-γ is a nucl...
متن کاملPeroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ protects against vascular aging.
Vascular disease occurs commonly during aging. Carotid artery and cerebrovascular disease are major causes of stroke and contributors to dementia. Recent evidence suggests that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) may play a protective role in the vasculature, but the potential importance of PPARγ in vascular aging is unknown. To examine the hypothesis that PPARγ normally protec...
متن کاملRole of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha and gamma in antiangiogenic effect of pomegranate peel extract
Objective(s): Herbal medicines are promising cancer preventive candidates. It has been shown that Punica granatum L. could inhibit angiogenesis and tumor invasion. In this study, we investigated whether the anti-angiogenic effect of pomegranate peel extract (PPE) is partly attributable to Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) activation in the Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cell...
متن کاملPeroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-γ in Thyroid Autoimmunity
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor- (PPAR-) γ expression has been shown in thyroid tissue from patients with thyroiditis or Graves' disease and furthermore in the orbital tissue of patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO), such as in extraocular muscle cells. An increasing body of evidence shows the importance of the (C-X-C motif) receptor 3 (CXCR3) and cognate chemokines (C-X-C motif)...
